PS: I also have an account on sh.itjust.works and this shit just works over there.

I get these more often then I should, so I was just wondering. They can't find me through my phone as I have turned that off. I have a killer username, but it ain't short, i.e., no one would purposefully search for it. So, the fact that someone's texting me is weird.

Day before yesterday some woman messaged me to talk about stock options, few months ago another woman texted me to talk about crypto.

And the dp seemed legit, mainly because the woman was not pretty and it didn't look like a photo a scammer would put on. I sometimes feel weird to have to block these people, they talk nice. The guy in the screenshot "needs a friend", I don't :) Should I change my username to something cryptic, something no one would think of typing? something like kdjfaid9fua98d. Also, I am an Indian, does my location have to do anything with this? We don't have any common communities too.

I mean, do they say "I sleep at 9pm" or more like "I sleep at 2100 hrs" even while they are talking informally? 2100 hrs sounds very formal to me, but yeah, I was just wondering if they used 24 hour format for only official and government proceedings and used 12 hour format for casual stuff.

[Gnome Calendar Flatpak + Evolution seems to do this fine] /usr/libexec/evolution-data-server/evolution-alarm-notify seemed to be notifying me of tasks. Thank you for all the help.

Some relevant command which might have helped me get the alarm notification thing working

I need Calendar but EVERY app I have tried so far doesn't support background notifications or don't run on my system. I want one good app, flatpak or not which can

1. Notify me of tasks, to do lists etc
2. Give me notifications for the mails I receive.

I don't know why, even evolution won't do this for me.

Thank you for your help! I installed flatpak Gnome Calendar after using 1 GB of internet bandwidth but no luck

edit: It can't send notifs :( https://lemmy.ml/comment/4138651

Is there a way to fix this? I am using an app called Superproductivity, it's a productivity app where you can schedule tasks and keep track of them. Now, the trouble is, it won't run in the background and it won't send me notifications. This seems to be common for all Snaps I have installed, is there a way to solve this and make it notify me even when it's not open?

Also, it also have an app image, do app images have the capacity to notify when they are not open? I have heard they can't run in the background.

Thank you to everyone who try to help me here :)

edit: I ain't complaining. If reddit engagement is dying and forums are taking it's place, Forums are more private and I generally hate reddit :)

I want to know just who these people are? I mean, the success of forums have been a surprise to me. And recently, in my experience Tech reddits (linux distros and such) haven't been getting as much attention as they used to get.

If I have a question regarding MX Linux or someone has asked a question regrading it, it seems reasonable to me that I would find it on Reddit. Since there are generally more people on reddit than on forums and reddit is like a super forum with almost everything under the sun attached to it and showing up in your feed. So, I might not be passionate enough to just stay on MX forum, but I will get enough variety on reddit that I will be able to stay interested and browse it more.

I don't know enough about MX Linux to frequent the forums, not do I want to know/read every small issue someone else has. But, if I come across a post on reddit while I am just browsing through my feed, I will make sure I try to help them as much as possible, but yeah, I don't see myself going to forums to try and help people. So, I don't get why forums are so successful.

Are there really so many people to frequent forums and provide answers to people who seem to be in trouble. I love MX but it's not my passion and frankly, I am surprised that there are many people for whom it seems like it is.

I care a lot about what other people think (not good) and if someone tries to help or helps me, I can't stay without saying thank you. I really want to thank people who comment on my posts. But many times I ask a lot of questions and I thus reply to a lot of comments and try to be polite and show how grateful I am. So, now, I have seen many people abandoning their posts after they get their answer without upvotes or replies or followups, I am pretty sure they are better at time management than I am. Now, what do you think?

What is the right way to behave when you post and random strangers help you? I know you all don't think about me all the time and if you made a comment you probably will forget about it, so is it ok to just upvote and forget even the people who help you? I have an exam in a few months and I should not be wasting my time rn, what would you do if you were in my place?

Don't say "dont' create posts" because I like the people here and the answers they give, but yeah, it's a hell of a job to reply "satisfactorily". Again, should I just "upvote and ignore"?

Also, I just want to say that people here are amazing. You guys are very helpful! Like, especially on c/linux! Such helpful communities are one of the things that make Linux great and more usable! Thank you to the folks at c/linux btw

Is this a known issue? If you type in somewhere it will be replaced by

Don't get me started on how this messes up linux commands and scripts, Is this a me problem or a lemmy problem? I need to study, if this is a known problem, then fine, but if it isn't then it needs to be reported.

Trying to assign a lot of custom shortcuts to my keys. So, I want two key combinations which are unlikely to used by other websites/distros. I use MX Linux 21 xfce btw.

Also, is there a way to know what your systems current shortcuts are? I am pretty sure not many websites use Windows button + _____ shortcuts, so if I know what shortcuts to avoid, I can create many shortcuts as a combination of Windows Button

There was a post asking people their opinions about Edge and many people seemed to liked the idea of Edge and seemed to be ok having it on Linux (Blasphemy)

Also, can we all agree how fast Edge went from joke to a threat? I mean, it's good now alright! It was good back then, but it's better now. Money man!!! Money! Personally I hate MS, but I can't help but see the fact that there is no alternative to Bing GPT and many features Bing offers on Linux.

If there is an open source ChatGPT how would it look? Who would bear the costs? How would we solve the server problem? i.e., it would take a ton of server space and bandwidth. Just wondering.

I am pretty sure MS products will improve greatly due to their integration with GPT what do us poor folks on Linux do?

Just want to know the answers, I don't want to discuss (aka can't comment, I need to study), but just curious!

I like the fact that on MX F4 button is associated with xfce4-terminal --drop-down. I can just press F4 to open or close it and it won't be another window and it won't take space on my panel and if I don't press Alt+F4 and exit from the drop-down terminal, it will keep the session going without appearing on panel or on tabs when you press Alt + Tab. Too many windows don't help the switching process and I don't know what other option there is to switch other than press Alt+F4 or manually click on the icons (which I don't like to do)

Now, what apps support --drop-down options? and is there a way to make more apps support this feature?

Also, is there a better ways to swtich tabs rather than press on the icon or Alt+Tab?

Also guys, what do you use to switch tabs when you have to see refer many windows at once? Having a bigger screen probably helps, but yeah, what do poor folks do? I remember having some nice feature in Gnome where if you press a button every tab active will be visible and it had a nice interface to it, anyone know how to do that on MX xfce?

I mean, I don't want to see graphic content or sexual content, I like lemmy without it. But, there is no NSFW 2 tag, i.e., no graphic images but posts which are not safe for work.

I am ok with text nsfw posts but not with ones which includes images. So, are nsfw posts (say graphic images but not porn) allowed on lemmy? If I turn on nsfw posts would I get text posts along with graphic images and stuff? Just asking

Also, do you like the fact that lemmy doesn't have the karma system that reddit does? What do you think about it?
