A geologist and archaeologist by training, a nerd by inclination - books, films, fossils, comics, rocks, games, folklore, and, generally, the rum and uncanny… Let’s have it!

As far as I can tell, you can do.
Obsidian has a huge number of plug-ins, that cover a wide range of uses. I also use Zettel Notes as a quick md file editor and that has the ability to capture pages in markdown to read later. And/or you can use Omnivore.
Counter-proposal: Perhaps use Obsidian instead?
I use Calibre.
And being antifeminist doesn’t even benefit them that much.
The only people benefitting are those peddling the lies to disgruntled young men, partly as a grift and partly as misdirection from the real sources of their issues.
But at the same time I don’t see how much people who are not cis men can do so much to really help them.
And it shouldn’t be your job to fix young men but I am as stumped as you and I worry about people like my nephew who is early teens.
There’s !mensliberation@lemmy.ca but I don’t know if that’s not just preaching to the converted.
My point was that cishet men may have it hard to find someone because they are not catching up with progressive and emancipatory values.
It’s worse than that - things seem to be regressing, with a widening political divide between men and women, especially noticeable in the younger adults.
It definitely feels like the modest progress that was made is now being eroded away
Really the only trick they missed was turning it into a pyramid scheme but that might sneak in if you use the app a lot, although imagine the “success rate” on this is abysmal and a lot of users will drop out quickly.
If you are an open-minded cis dude who respects women and sees them as equal human beings you’ll have no problem finding anyone.
It’s not always that simple. For example, I cared for my Dad 24/7 which involved a convoluted pill regime (and a series of alarms throughout the day). My social life took a real hit. There are also mental and physical health issues, as well as financial aspects.
All that said, anyone thinking this is the solution deserves to be scammed because it is hardly informed consent.
This seems to be sleazy conmen faking interactions with women to convince wannabe pick-up artists to pay for their app. It’s like some new circle of Hell.
I suppose it depends on your requirements. I tried a lot and, finally, Pear fitted the bill. I was happy enough with it to get the Pro version and haven’t looked back since.
Just you. Or, at least, not me.
Just give it half an hour or so of usage. When I got it up and running, I thought it wasn’t working properly but it was either learning or just getting bedded in as it just seemed to kick in and has worked smoothly since.
Have you tried downloading the relevant dictionary? If so, can you give a screenshot of what it looks like when you long press the space bar, as seen in the second screenshot m
To enable languages: Settings > Languages & Layouts. It might just take a bit of usage for all the corrections and suggestions to kick in.
To switch languages or keyboards: Long press the space bar.
If you haven’t enabled number row in Preferences, just long press Q to get 1.
I’d also recommend:
The power of Heliboard, and the reason it got me to abandon Gboard where others failed, is in the last two.
Hope that helps - I am still new to Heliboard (but I am already sold on it) and a power user might have better insight but that might be enough to get you going. If not, ask away.
Yes, it’s a long list of emojis, a reply below links to how you can add an English emoji dictionary. I just followed the instructions and it works well. 👍
I switched to this a month or so ago and haven’t looked back. The only thing I miss is the ability to add gifs but that’s not a big deal.
Bit late to this one but see a more recent discussion:
Unlike the author, I don’t think that the internet is dying, but instead entering a new phase that resembles in some aspects the old internet: search has become unreliable and those mega-platforms enshittify themselves to death, so people shift to smaller (often non-commercial) platforms and find new content to follow by the hyperlinks provided by other people. It’s a lot like the internet before Google Search.
It is definitely feeling like this is a trend, we are moving back to more curated ways of sharing information.
The Fediverse feels like a return to the old, open Web before it was captured by Big Tech, just with new bells and whistles attached. With all the enshittification, it seems like it is well-placed to be the solution to the problem. It’s not there yet but it’s a start.
It has a huge number of plugins - this is a list of the productivity ones. You’d need to do some reading to see if it has what you require.
