The Stanley Parable is a meta game - a game about playing and making games. And there you are having fun not playing a game…

If that's the case you should look into your swappiness settings. You can set this to zero meaning the swap will only be used if you're actually out of memory, but as others have noted that is maybe not a healthy decision…

Didn't know that. I agree it is a terrible name, but maybe that's why it is safe from any cease and desist orders...

Are you maybe looking for something like Revolt or Spacebar?

My daughter has it on her phone and I always get it wrong, because I don't have it on my phone. But I also hate the need to double swipe down to open the full quick settings. I think it's just something to get used to.

I fear that early access will kill this. Sure it will provide some money that might pay for the rest of the development, but streamers will play it now - der that it is literally work in progress in vast parts and maybe take another look once it finally releases, but the hype will be gone at the release.

But Minecraft - even in the Beta days - worked as a complete game. They have been improving (depending on how you like the changes) on it since, but it wasn't ever filled with literal work in progress signs like Hytale is…

That is the cheapest option. Maybe the most convenient or most reliable option, but definitely the cheapest.

One of the reasons EGS fails is Fortnite in my opinion. In Fortnite they have done all these things: they created a platform with social abilities and all that. Fortnite still brings them lots and lots of money, but this shouldn't be in Fortnite it should be in their launcher. It could be even more integrated than Steam does. Why not let games grant you skins you can use in other games as a character model (given the game supports it)?

I am thankful for any input. Maybe it helps someone else looking for a similar thing.

I think the collaborative part means sending PDFs from user to user and maintaining the ability to edit annotations. That may work for many use cases - a lot of businesses may be fine with that when email is still the communication medium of choice.

That's not an option unfortunately. The actual use case is a non-profit sports club magazine which needs to be proof read by several people at the same time. There is a fixed release date and only a few days to proof read the PDF before it needs to be sent to print.

I have an installation of Stirling PDF, but in my short experiment it had no ability to collaborate on the same document.

Every edit created a new copy of the document downloaded to the user. The annotations weren't tagged to the individual user and sending different versions of a PDF from user to user is not what I am looking for.

Stirling is a single user software in that regards. I haven't tested the also mentioned BentoPDF but I suspect it to be the same as it is also trying to be a PDF toolbox like Acrobat. PdfDing has a slightly different approach it might be an option if OnlyOffice does not work out.

 

I am looking for a solution to collaborative PDF editing (mostly annotations). I already have a Nextcloud installation with Office for several members so it would be great if it could be integrated, but it is not necessary.

What I mainly want is the possibility to add and view annotations made by several users on the same file at the same time.

Do you have a suggestion?

 

I am currently using Bring! with my wife to organize our grocery shopping. I am looking for a self hosted alternative. I looked at the awesome self-hosted list and tried Specifically Clementines and of course Grocy. I like that Grocy also includes meal planning although the whole inventory management is too much for us. What I don't like is the interface for both of them. I don't see us using this while in the store with a kid on the arm. It is way too fiddly and complicated. Also adding new items to the list is rather complicated in both apps.

Do you have any suggestions for other projects with a more user friendly interface (even if it means less features)?
