Water UK basically said so in the article too

Not really the easy way, but this is how you can make your wine application show up in Preferred Applications.

You probably don’t have a .desktop file for you wine app. Go to /usr/share/application and find one entry that also shows up in your Preferred Applications->PDF list. Open that entry with a text editor: that’s how your new entry should look like (I recommend looking at /usr/share/applications/xreader.desktop in particular). You must have the MimeType field for Preferred Applications

Create your new pdfxchange.desktop file and place it into ~/.local/share/applications so it will be picked up by the OS and it should show up in your Preferred Applications list.

The only thing you need to figure out yourself how to make pdfxchange open a file from the command line, you need to put that into the Exec= field.

For you it might be something like this: Exec=env WINEPREFIX="YOUR_PDFEXCHANGE_WINE_PREFIX" wine "YOUR_PDFEXCHANGE_WINE_PREFIX/drive_c/path/to/pdfxchange.exe" Z:%f

Try it in the terminal (without Exec=) until it works. %f is the file you want to open.

You can do that via the AUR, it’s called cosmic-epoch-git if you have enough ram and time to build it

They didn’t mention how it affected overweight/obesity rates, which is what they aimed to tackle. Every research I found had problems in its modelling or just straight up speculative.

Plus they are not actually using the extra income for related programmes instead they include it in the general budget, which is not nice…making it just a tax.

Although from a dental perspective there is no way it’s not working.

Why are other countries are not struggling with obesity rates is what I would like to know even without a sugar tax.

I just hope they are not planning to introduce a salt tax, food is already bland as is.

I have the same issue on my laptop, except it’s constant from the moment I log into Cinnamon. Other DEs are fine.

In the end I was too lazy to troubleshoot it, but maybe I’ll try with the Wayland session. If that has the same issue, something’s gone terribly wrong.

You can do the same with cp too. Also safer.

But I use Ventoy nowadays.

I didn’t even know Lemmy existed until last week (when I specifically searched for a Reddit alternative) even though I heard about Mastodon.

And it might be confusing to decide where you need to register and what’s the difference without reading up how the Fediverse works. Most people don’t care about that.

Also if they are based on the same technology why I can’t use a Mastodon account to login/interact with Lemmy (conveniently)

I guess if we ever have Nomadic identities most of the above could be solved? Except that Lemmy is still almost completely unknown for most of the people.
