Several options:

  • Master PDF Editor, version 4 is free (and in AUR);
  • PDF Arranger, good for bulk edits;
  • jPdfTweak, a veritable swiss knife of PDF editing;
  • jPDFBookmarks, the best for editing bookmarks;
  • Briss, for bulk cutting PDFs;
  • Krop, also for cutting, but less flexible.

I had many issues since the upgrade. After getting tired of hunting them down individually, my one-time solution was to nuke my old configs and simply start anew. Fresh home, .config, .local.

I use both htop and btop—depending on the mood. htop is less prettier, but more reliable. But sometimes I want pretty and I go with btop. top is where I draw the line. It's too nerdy for me.

Well, he gave two of them away.

I would say you're actually witnessing the very real phenomenon of language-drift. Languages evolve for a billion reasons, but there's no right or wrong state of language.

That's why we distinguish between language, dialect, idiolect, sociolect. Each bearer of language is also a producer of language. Their version is just theirs, in whatever many ways that makes that version unique.

(Check linguistics to better understand this process of language-drifting )

You make a good point worth considering. For all non-USians/non-Chinese out there, all those social media giants are foreign corporations belonging to foreign powers.

The spying part of it is bad for the spying, not for who's doing it.

You're not wrong. Why would you? Either works or not. You said it yourself, it's work-related. The rest you could probably work around them if sufficiently motivated.

Thanks for the necessary XKCD. First time reading that one.

Well, to be honest, I won't be THAT guy, nor am I crazy to bring back the rotary disk.

Not really that fancy. It's just a marketing euphemism. The giving of a cool name to something very mundane.

You're right, it's just a clouded way of saying 'someone else's computer '.

I've been using it for more than 20 years, but I still love when someone pulls the GNU/Linux card.

To me it feels like reading an old plaque in Latin. It reminds me of an important past that shouldn't be forgotten.
