Not OP but I’m curious about one thing I personally miss with kate.

Do you know if it is possible with kate to keep temporary text files open after closing the program the same way notepad++ can?

The only thing I hate is how sometimes a document compiles perfectly fine on one machine only to utterly fail on another. On the two machines were I had this happen I have Texlive installed so that I wouldn’t have to look up missing packages. Maybe this is a version mismatch error? I have no clue.

Also I had an old document I wanted to compile which used a ‘\begin{justifying}’ tag. I can’t get that tag to work anymore and had to replace it with just ‘\justifying’

I believe it sometimes works based on when the book was published for some reason and that newer books may have a better DRM protection against this method

I managed to do it somehow without a kindle but it was an absolute pain in the ass. For my first few books I had to download then using a specific old version of the kindle desktop app so that calibre was able to remove the encryption. Apparently the encryption used by the newer kindle desktop app is different.

For my next books that suddenly wasn’t enough and I had to use an old android app version in an emulator and get the books out of the hidden app storage using adb.

I’m never buying an ebook of amazon again if I can avoid it

I love that they are still updating AoE2 (at least the latest remaster) with balance patches and new content despite its age

I used KDEConnect in the past but ran into issues where somehow media sent to my phone wasn’t saved somehow. Probably some permission issue but I didn’t manage to fix it. Also the windows client only allows selection of one file at a time.

Recently I’ve tried out LocalSend and found it a much smoother experience.

Digital when I’m not at home and need to remember some stuff for later. If I’m at home I use a notebook so I have an excuse to use my fancy fountain pens.

Does the skin effect apply here?
