Are there any good books which are both accurate and engaging which talk about human world history? (lemmy.ml)
 

publication croisée depuis : https://lemmy.ml/post/26991234

Any era is welcome but I'm especially interested in modern history.

I know that having just one book which talks about the history of the whole world would be difficult but let's see if you guys know something (series are welcomed suggestions too).

You're right! Do you know how can I cross post this there?

Hahaha I was undecided whether to add "human" but I wanted to exclude natural world history, I mean I wanted to learn about human events

Why don't social media and the web in general implement asymmetric key signing to always be able to verify the source of a content, thus eliminating the risk of deep fakes and fake news? (lemmy.ml)
 

Am I oversimplifying stuff too much?

What's your Album of the Year? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Agree with the whole comment but yeah I love every song of The New Sound, especially The Magician. Also I "discovered" black midi at the beginning of the year and was sad to learn they splitted, thankfully Greep released this masterpiece.

Anki users, what are you learning now? (lemmy.ml)

Is there an historical reason why female formal dresses have a huge variety of styles compared to male ones where the only acceptable style is jacket with pants? in c/[email protected]

Yeah I posted my question a few hours before that was posted, very cool!

Sorry man, english is not my first language so sometimes I make mistakes.

But I searched online and it seems that it's not totally wrong to use "an" in front of historical, especially in informal writing.

Best RSS Reader for Linux? Bonus if it has PDF/epub export in c/[email protected]

Wow I'm already using Calibre but didn't know about that feature! Awesome, will look into it, thanks!

Yeah I thought about the print to pdf feature, hopefully though there are better alternatives. Thanks for the suggestion I will check the extension!

Best RSS Reader for Linux? Bonus if it has PDF/epub export (lemmy.ml)
 

Right now I use Read You on my phone to get RSS feeds and I read articles on my browser but I want to cut the time I stare at my phone throughout the day so I came up with this system:

Once a week I will look at all the feeds I follow on my PC RSS reader, select the ones I want to read during the next week and save them / export them (possibly in PDF or ePUB?) so that I can put them on my old Kindle (that has no internet access) and read them only using the kindle during the week.

This will drastically reduce the time I use my phone to first scroll and select articles and then to actually read them. Looking at a screen all day for work and also looking at a screen (phone) in my free time is not good for me and I want to change that.

If no RSS reader has that option, does anyone know of another program or firefox extension that would let me "export" web pages as pdfs or epubs?

Most people want to be special or unique but what are things in which no one wants to be special or unique? (lemmy.ml)
 

I'll start with: medical conditions, everyone would prefer to have an average well known and curable disease than a special case or a unique one

Arch Linux and Valve Collaboration - Arch-dev-public - lists.archlinux.org in c/[email protected]

This is huge! Can't wait to see the results of this collaboration. Arch is my one and only distro and I love it.

Kindle's screen is partially frozen with the screensaver, the rest of the screen works normally. Already reset it and factory reset it, does anyone know if I can save it somehow? (lemmy.ml)
 

First of all, I know this is not the kind of questions that usually are done in asklemmy but I don't know where to ask, sorry folks.

It's a 5th generation kindle and I really loved reading on it. :(

Bonus question if the kindle is doomed: best e-ink reader on the cheaper side? I don't want anything super powerful or fancy, I just want to load my collection with calibre and read on it. - bonus points if it's a libre and or open source friendly.

This is the type of pull up bar that I have, how should I use it optimally? (lemmy.ml)
 

4 ways of using it come to my mind:

  • Place hands on the inclined outer handles and do a pull up with arms open wide
  • Place hands with palms facing the wall on the "inner" handles and do a pull up with arms at shoulder width
  • Place hands with palms facing my face on the "inner" handles and do a chin up
  • Place hand on the handles which point out of the wall and do a pull up / chin up (sorry don't know in this case)

Are these excercises different for the group of muscles they target? And if so, how? Is there any ranking among them from worse to better?

Also if I can do chin ups just fine but I can only do negative pull ups, which ones should I choose?
