Quality online computer course for beginner to intermediate? (lemmy.ml)
 

Hi all,

I want to upskill my aunty. She has below average skills, and does things like send a screenshot, when I want the copy paste of the text string (not an image).

She stores files and folders in the wrong place.

Writes notes on paper, rather than copy / paste.

She wrangles spreadsheets in a very tedious manner. Rather than running formulas, or selecting and dragging a series etc.

Are there any online courses, even if paid, that are QUALITY, that can take someone up a level to be a bit more savvy?

She has an admin job, and fears for her work. So, I want to help her.

Yes, her work has said they'll pay if she finds something appropriate, but I said I'd look to help.

Any help would be great! Thank you

Has anyone successfully baked a good sourdough in a Weber Baby Q gas barbecue? (lemmy.ml)
 

As per the title I am traveling full-time in my van at the moment and used to make sourdough but I'm trying to figure out the best way that I would go about it in a baby q.

I also don't want to use a heavy Dutch oven as I have weight restrictions with how much I can carry.

Any tips and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Want an alt account here. Can i port my block lists? (lemmy.ml)
 

Hi all,

I've got some more personal questions to ask, so, to avoid doxing, want another, second account. This account is pretty easy to piece together who i am. I can't have that with my planned community questions.

However, it's taken years to create my block lists.

Can they be exported and imported into another account?

Laptop battery goes flat, when powered off, only on Debian (lemmy.ml)
 

Hi all,

I had this laptop (Lenovo Carbon X1 Gen 6), and when it had Debian, it would just go flat on sleep, and even when powered off. So strange. I checked all BIOS settings etc, but could never figure it out.

I moved it to Fedora, and it was perfect. Battery life was boosted like crazy, acted as it was meant to.

However, I have tomove away from Fedora, due to them dropping X11 (it's an accessibility issue I'm facing with my tools) and I forgot about said issue with Debian.

Back on Debian now, woke up, powered on laptop, which was fully charged last night, and it's flat again.

What is it, that Debian is doing differently, that is making it go flat, when powered off?

Please note, I am doing a proper shutdown. Not just closing lid, sleep, hybernate, etc.

Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

UPDATE: I booted into a fedora live disk, and shutdown. This time the battery did not go flat at all when shutdown, indicating that it is absolutely debian related, not BIOS or anything else.

Found this excellent, flexible counter app (f-droid.org)
 

You can use it for pretty much anything. You can track your exercise, your eating habits, really anything at all. It has basic statistics, it can export your data, it is completely locally hosted and the interface is clean and easy to use.

It's one of those apps that you probably didn't even think that you might need until you see it and use it.

I have no affiliation with the developer, but I thought other people might really enjoy this as well. So I am sharing here.

Can we write lemmy bots? (lemmy.ml)
 

I wrote a few useful utility bots back in the old days when reddit was a thing.

I just remembered them now, thinking it'd be useful to write a new one to help some of our art communities. (More on that latet)

Is there a bot framework, or similar for lemmy? Some docs? Some boilerplate code maybe? Just something I can sink into and learn.

Thanks so much
