  • Learning Journal: Creating an App for my wedding party
    The top priority of the interface is to ensure that it doesn't inconvenience our guests. Therefore, I opted for Line, a chat application. This application is widely used and installed on everyone's phone. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago
  • Pharmacies that can order things in?
    Diamond Pharmacy would be your best bet. They are extremely active on Line. Go to their website, https://diamondpharmacy-th.com , contact the on Line (if you don't have it, download it at https://line.me/en/ ) and send them a list of the medicines you need. They will give you a price quote and an invoice. Source: 12 months ago
  • This time Nijika-chan saves Bocchi-chan (by @fatcat_booster)
    One tidbit: “ロインやってる?” is not a reference to a restaurant. It’s rather an in-universe bland-name product version of LINE, a smartphone messaging app that has the overwhelming majority market share in Japan (and several other Asian countries). It can appear in many other manga/anime in various spelling variations, such as RINE, PINE, LINNE, etc. To avoid stepping on trademarks. Source: about 1 year ago

  • Things I can’t do on macOS which I can do on Ubuntu
    I'll start with things that I'm happy to have in mac that didn't have in Linux :) - Cannot run a bunch of programs that stay on the topbar, like LINE (https://line.me/en/), Kap (https://getkap.co/), etc. I am a fairly heavy user of Kap and I love the interface, so this is probably the biggest differentiator for me. - The visual quality of the programs in Mac is generally a lot higher, and humans do like aesthetic... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

  • OG player from 2013 -- I'm so lost
    When a guild has "add (insert name) on Line for invite" in their guild description it refers to a mobile app called line (https://line.me/en/). This app is basically the mobile gaming version of discord/skype where players are able to make text chat groups and message each other. Line app is not a new concept for KND as many top guilds and alliances even in the early days used it for planning and communication.... Source: over 2 years ago
  • How to talk with people in other languages
    I almost gave up. But then we found LINE messaging app. It has full chat features (sending photos, files, emojis, stickers etc.) and "Ligo LINE Translator" chatbot. I send a message in English and the chatbot translates it into Japanese and Chinese for me in one go automatically. It works very well for us. I no longer have to send the same message twice lol.

  • Wine: Very high cpu load for small messenger program
    I'm using the Line messenger through Wine and it uses 200% cpu power at all times - which is half of my cores - and slows my whole system down. Source: over 2 years ago

    I installed LINE with wine on Linux, but couldn't get it too run becuase this program only support window10. Changing window version winecfg doesn't fix this problem. Can anyone try and see what's the problem. Thanks. Source: over 2 years ago
