What is different between uniq and awk?

🙂👍

You are clearly on a higher level of consciousness than I will ever be (plus I’m old 👴).

Text, as far as I know (?) doesn’t take up that much space memory-wise, but on the other hand can you imagine the amount of server space that gets taken up by redundant text from people’s emails (just for starters)?

Some of my approaches to the apparently much-hated “Inbox Zero” are to be diligent about emptying the trash, not keeping copies of emails in my sent folder, and most importantly, to download messages, personal or professional ones (mostly the former) that I find personally valuable, and then delete the original email so it isn’t floating around forever in cyberspace. This leaves me with lots of txt files, which, as I said above, I then merge all together into one file and then edit. You’d think that there’d be a tool that cleans up the contents of email messages; there do appear to be some online ones, but I don’t trust them. While researching this problem, I found out about “(g)awk” and am now fiddling around with it to see if I can successfully clean up my files without completely messing them up, as in

awk '!seen[$0]++' input.txt > output.txt

making sure that I experiment on a duplicated file and not on the original. I barely know what I’m doing here, but I’ll see what I can come up with . . .

Hi @pheonixdown@sh.itjust.works, thanks for your response. Unfortunately I have no knowledge of python and my coding abilities are essentially nonexistent 🙁 . . .

There’s also Thundermail, if they ever get around to actually opening it up . . .

Infomaniak may have changed since I tried making an account there, but when I did they asked for an address and phone number which I was not willing to provide.

May I suggest Master PDF Editor? It’s proprietary, and I think you may need to pay for some of the features, but I’ve used it for years and have generally been pretty happy with it. An open source alternative that I’m not as familiar with is PDF4QT, which is still a bit rough around the edges last time I checked.

As far as Wine goes, I have never gotten it to work with any Adobe product, ever, period. If you really need to use Adobe stuff, I suggest using it from a Virtual Machine with Windows.

Literature 📚

Looks like ebooks purchased from Google Play Store still use crackable Adobe DRM. I’d prefer to buy from ebooks.com, but I refuse to be confined to one app or device by fucking DRM. I don’t like giving money to Google, but if you have GrapheneOS you’re already forking out big bucks to them for a Pixel phone, though hopefully in the future it’ll be able to run on Motorola . . .

(Better than just putting him up against the wall, I guess, right?)

There’s this, but anyone know where I can get Thorium 3.10?

EDIT: Was hoping for Calibre plugin(s) . . .

EDIT EDIT: Tried this without success:

There’s this, an article from Art in America, which I’m in the process of reading now.

On DDG is “Search Assist” the same thing as “Duck.ai?” Must confess that the former can be extremely useful sometimes, as long as I check its references.

Mrs. Erinaceus thanks you for this 🌈👍🏻

Can’t abandon something I never joined in the first place! 🙂

Um, so, sorry for the potentially dumb question, but do I need to worry about this?

Compact mode returns!
