Ya pas de règles hormis éviter de casser jlai.lu.
Le genre de règle que j'apprécie... et tente aussi de pratiquer, à mon très humble niveau en ne délayant pas trop mais aussi en ne précipitant jamais les màj: j'attends de voir ;)
Et merci pour le complément d'info!
Question à deux centimes: Comment se décident les mises à jour de versions sur l'instance? Je veux dire, j'ai pas l'impression que jlai.lu fasse la course pour passer à chaque nouvelle version dès qu’elle sort, du coup je me demande s’il y a une règle/procédure/qqe chose où si c’est juste en fonction de ce que contiennent les différentes màj?
(et oui, j'ai un alt ;)
Mind sharing which one?
It's some no brand models (I purchased two, one a dedicated BT printer to pair with my phone, the other is a full camera with a similar thermal printer but no BT pairing) I got on Aliexpress, I think it was there. One is a bright green dinosaur of some sort and the other one is a pink/bright squarish box with pink cat ears because, of course, it has ears and why go serious when you can not go serious at all? ;)
The BT printer one works fine with the iPhone (I just had to manually find the correct app through trial and errors because the link provided in the doc did not work). Unsurprisingly, the dedicated camera one (which does not work as a BT printer for a phone, sadly) is really crappy but still good fun and I think it would be hit for any kid or teen using one with their friends.Also, the camera one was supposed to come with a SD card... It does, it was one of those scam ones with close to zero storage (I was aware it would likely happen but better be clear: don't consider that card a given, even if it's featured)
But didn’t go through with this since the photo-paper is quite expensive.
They certainly do not play in the same league as dedicated serious portable photo printer, hence the serious price difference but that's also the reason why they can be so fun to use: they're cheap and the thermal receipt paper is even cheaper (and can be found anywhere at least for now, no idea for how long). Their battery is fine and they print rather quickly. All one needs to please friends without throwing money out of the window.
I guess being your own boss blurs the boundaries of work/freetime :) But indeed! it is amazing and I am also often wondering why is it rare that people do that. I learned this from a uni professor back when I was studying; he said that not only is it for you, but it it is your last backup against accusations that does hold value if you end up arguing with someone who doesn’t have any evidence. That’s a bit hardcore reason to keep notes but I started journaling because of that class.
A precious teacher, if I may say so.
Now I know that all sounds probably basic and uncreative to some,
I also use ink color as an helper and as something I simply like to look at. Like, really. My spouse often is mocking how... fussy I can be about using such or such ink depending the task at hands and, as long as it doesn't become an hindrance to what I want to do, I must admit that indeed I am ;)
For years, back as a uni student, I also used highlighters in my notes (3 colors, for 3 types of noteworthy stuff), getting older I streamlined all that. Nowadays, I only use blue for note-taking while I read (I do that on index cards or in my pocket notebook), I use black for archiving said note in my note-taking archival system/second brain/Zettelkasten + red ink to add a link to a specific book or ref + green ink for links between two notes (this helps a lot instantly spotting links within my Zettel, it's a real time saver). And then, I use a brown waterproof ink for fountain pen, I only use it in my journal, because well it's waterproof and I sometimes use Watercolors in my journal, and because... I like the color :p
I do admit that recently Lemmy has ruined my breaks lol. I’ve been spending my short breaks browsing lemmy… damn you lemmy for becoming so active! /s
Reddit stands no chance ;)
How about you? You got any special thing you do to keep it pretty that comes to mind?
Beside the few inks I use there is not much. I do sketch (badly and I have not done it in a while), and I also like to do (very) simple lettering on the name of each new which I find an efficient way to quickly browse through a journal. Sketching, I find it real fun but I've not done it recently because... bad excuses only, I was about to say: there is too much going on , but that's really a shitty excuse. Let's say I'm too lazy.
I also tried using those cheap camera-like portable thermal printers and glue them in my journal. It's fun, dirt cheap (also, people always love received an instant print of themselves or of whatever you just photographed) but you really need to be careful with the quality of the thermal paper you use with it as some will fade and vanish in a mere couple months leaving nothing but a blank paper (don't ask me how I know that). I still use it from time to time and I would not mind using it more. It's real fun.
Get well! (I've been in a similar place not that long ago) and get some books, maybe? A lot less doom scrolling ;)
Thanks for the feedback.
You're welcome
I don’t really do journaling on my freetime, but I do it at work.
I never considered it like that (I'm my own boss) but I can related to that, and back when I had a regular office job (and a boss) that's also how I worked. Like you said:
More than once I’ve been thankful to myself that I do this when I need to look back at notes and it just helps me organize my head.
It's such a great help, I'm always surprised a lot of people is not using it.
I do try to keep it pretty too.
:)
The obvious question then is how do you do that? Feel free to not answer, obviously, but you're more than welcome if you have some suggestions/tips to share with everybody here :p
Just read the discussion quickly. That's nice to see people discussing it.
Imho, telling people they're wrong, or that they don't get it (even if that was true) when they are complaining about this or that on Lemmy won't help them change their mind about Lemmy.
I mean, beside a few trolls that just want to drop their poop every chance they get, when someone says they have an issue using Lemmy it's... because there is indeed something that is annoying them. If not blindingly agree with them at least we should acknowledge they're having an issue. Some of them being quite obvious.
The servers/instances selection step when creating an account is an important one, imho. Maybe we should try to think of a simplified/illustrative explanation that would help new users overcome that confusing part?
Pretty sure that once they start using Lemmy, most will get their own bearings but for that to happen they need to start using it, and for that they need to create an account on one instance among many, and then be able to find and subscribe to a few communities on any instance. I don't think they need to be told they're wrong, or that they don't understand (or they have shitty taste and preferences) ;)
Maybe it's a generational thing (I'm a 50+), I don't know, but when I see a 'Buy me (something)' or a 'tip me' first thing first on the home page even before I can get any idea of what I will find on the website I'm not likely to explore further. I thought you might want to know about that, even I may be in the minority.
Just in case:
Not sure to understand your point.
Ideas don't come out of emptiness. They never. There is no such thing as some genius that get a brand new idea all by themselves out of their unique genius mind. Ideas are always the consequence of some kind of interaction with other pre-existing ideas and/or with other persons and situations. Direclty or indirectly (say, by reading a book). Genius may help, but it still requires something for the idea to grow out/on.
Talking about books, someone rightfully mentioned Descartes. Even him, who doubted absolutely everything, the whole universe around him and even he himself existed as an a person, in order to reach what he would consider a trustworthy certainty (cogito, ergo sum, I think therefore I am). Even that dude still needed the existence of a God to be certain that the fact that he was thinking (aka, that his idea of what he was doing) could be considered true or, at least, reliable enough to build upon. Ideas don't come out of nowhere and never grow out of nothing.
Dislaimer: no René Descartes was harmed during the caricaturing his thoughts ;)
We've already seen books being rewritten to remove certain (offensive) words or sections being removed from re-editions, ebooks being removed from our reading device entirely and, obviously, we've all seen books being censored in some (school) libraries. Ditto for some comics. It's a bit less known (?) but a few movies have already been edited too (removing scenes that today's audience would consider offensive, or adding scenes (like in the original trilogy of Star Wars: all new releases includes those added scenes). With IA there would be no difficulty to edit a single scene, or even just some part of it, say to remove something/someone now considered offensive. We're now really into Orwell's 1984.
Imho, the only way to fight against that trend is in owning physical copies of whatever content you want to preserve. That's why I quit watching streaming platforms and reading 'purchased' ebooks and went back to DVDs/physical books that I fully own and that can't be remotely edited/removed from my home by anyone.
