This is awful. I'm backing up my research data from EndNote + Atlas.ti because I can't use them on Linux. I tried switching to Zotero and Taguette, but the data migration process is problematic: I lost groups with Zotero and Taguette doesn't support QDPX file import. 😤
Does anyone know of a QDA tool for Linux that supports QDPX file import (Project Exchange Format for Qualitative Data)?

#askfedi #finland #helsinki #tourist We are going to be in Helsinki for a couple of days in September.

Any particular place or things to do you would recommend while we are there. We like walking and are reasonably fit and interested in history (although my wife rolled her eyes when i suggested museums).

We are going to Rovaniemi on the overnight train for a few days.

- Has anyone seen custom-moji of a #mecha around these parts?

- Is there a reliable, reasonable current source of custom-moji of mecha in different styles (am thinking of “Big O”, “Evangelion”, “Gundam” c 2000+, “Ghost in the Shell”)?

FlameShot, works exactly the same in Windows and Linux. I value this greatly.

If you use both Windows AND Linux. Do you know of a lightweight, graphical, dual-pane, file explorer that has both Windows and Linux versions, and works the same in both? Bonus points if it has some file preview functionality.

Please don't answer with what you _think_ may work, I would like a recommendation from experience if possible. Also, please do not ask "AI" in my behalf.

Thanks!!!

I'd love any shared insights into something I'm facing. For health reasons, specifically a fragmented sleep disorder and short term memory issues, I'm fast accepting I may have to stop driving very soon, which several doctors have already said. I don't want to hurt or more to someone, or myself.

Has anyone been in the situation of having a vehicle you are financing where the loan is "underwater" or negative equity (owe more than the car is worth) where you can't use it anymore? Is the only way to exit payments to have it repossessed? I hoped there might be a way to donate the vehicle to charity or something to avoid the credit report ding. Otherwise, I'm expecting to do many years of payments and garaging it without using it until I owe less than it's worth.

Thanks!

I want to create a #Calibre web server on my desktop PC but I know nothing about setting up servers (or whether this is feasible).

Can someone point me in the right direction to do this? I don't have Docker or anything similar installed.

Edited to add: it's the PC part of the equation I'm not confident about...my Android devices connecting aren't a problem.

(Boosts appreciated for reach)

Since trying to go self hosted the biggest pain point has been shared calendars.

Is there any free/self hosted way to bridge or synchronise between iCloud calendar and CalDAV?

Where's a decent place to find used photography gear? I'm not really sure I'm ready to spend new prices on upgrading yet as I'm still way early in just learning at this point.

(4/X) Migration update: Moving from Windows to Linux!

Super excited to be diving into Linux Mint (Cinnamon desktop environment) and testing out the LibreOffice apps! Honestly, it’s been surprisingly accessible so far, and I’m loving how smoothly everything is running.

If anyone has any tips or cool things I should check out while I’m exploring, I’m all ears!

#askfedi Does anyone know why people might use two phones at the same time? I saw several people in different contexts today using two at the same time.

Ich muss für die GEMA eine Setlist ausfüllen von meinem Konzert letztes Wochenende.
Frage: Macht es
für die Veranstaltenden einen Unterschied ob ich da richtige Angaben mache oder irgendeinen Blödsinn reinschreibe? Also, wenn ich mir neue Titel für die Lieder ausdenke, damit sie nicht mit den bei der GEMA registrierten übereinstimmen, müssen die Veranstaltenden dann weniger Gebühren zahlen?

(5/X) Migration update: Moving from Windows to Linux!

I’m planning to migrate my bookmarks too, and I’m wondering which internet browser to use next. I’ve used Firefox and Brave, both of which are solid options, but I’m curious:
What are your favourite secure browsers?

Drop your go-to choices and explain why you love them!

#Mastodon users, what does "Feature on Profile" do? I get that option on the menu of mutual contacts, but it didn't seem to have any effect 😶

Do you see @prav being "featured" anywhere on my profile?

Just back from recovery from a near fatal #motorcycle accident (stupid cars). Turns out vehicle #insurance sucks more than health insurance in India.

It seems like #fosstodon drama is still not over(leave us alone, people). And now a new #wayland - #X11 drama is in town. WTF.
What else did I miss? #AskFedi
