this feels like an intro to a sick pico-8 game. well done!

This is disappointing to see - especially since I like a few of their products.

I’m not sure how it is in London, but there’s a strong government push to get people to go back to office (the city). Since politics is every politicians side hustle, and a lot of them own commercial real estate that’s been tanking post pandemic, I feel like they are forcing companies to bring people back to re-inflate the real estate value.

Since companies can’t outright say it’s the government, they have to come up with excuses.

The worst part is I don’t know what’s worse: if I’m wrong or if I’m right :(

I’ve seen a lot of people move to Mint or Pop_OS or Kubuntu. They’re Debian based so updates are pretty stable.

I personally ended up with EndeavourOS using the KDE desktop environment. I have a steam deck, so this felt very similar to me. This is Arch based so sometimes updates break things, but I’ve had more success here.

Also remember that no distro is problem-free, but neither was Windows. The longer you commit, the easier it gets.

EDIT: If you’re hesitant to fully commit at first, I also recommend dual booting with Windows. Over time you’ll use it less and less until one day you feel like reclaiming the disk space.

This is a tough sell. I just got the RG35XX H recently for <50 USD. Seeing all this is mostly the same besides a bigger screen and new shape, is it really worth a double in cost?

Plus I assume the bigger screen would mean the device is bigger overall. To me, one of the key features of the 35XX H is it’s pocketability.

I’m not sure if the application is safe. It may be malicious. Proceed at your own risk.

I saw a GitHub project called 163MusicLyrics that’s sources the information from Chinese sources (NetEase and QQ).

The entire software is in Chinese, but the results looked really accurate from the sandbox I ran. It’s even actively developed with v6.2 releasing least week. But again, I don’t know if it’s safe.

I’m not good at code but it looks like it’s OSS, so you could verify the code yourself or reverse engineer something with the API calls they use?

Let me know if you come across something though. I’m also looking for a way to get LRC files easily.

EDIT: Also for self hosting, I use Jellyfin with Symfonium, and Tailscale. It works great for me and has been relatively low maintenance.

not if they’re playing bedrock harcore [sic] mode and die flying around or whatever

you could put Kirby too and it’d be a banger

photons traveling at the speed of light too! that’s quite dangerous

This was inevitable. Their business model required cutting necessary expenses to drive their prices below taxis, but that’s not sustainable.

Hopefully this encourages the use of biking, public transportation, or at the very least, transportation services that provide better employee benefits.

Uber needs to remember that society functioned just fine before them. It can survive just fine without them.

I’ll also add that if you’re looking to replace the recommendation algorithm, you can use Last.FM, AOTY, RYM, or even Instagram (I follow a lot of artists and the recommended posts when I go to search something have actually been decent. really strange and perplexing)

Also, if you find any CDs you don’t care for anymore, see if you can donate them to your local library :)

So I recently terminated my Spotify subscription and moved my library to Jellyfin.

For my phone client, I use Symfonium. There are other options available (even FOSS options if you prefer), but I liked Symfonium’s UI the best. It also has a rolling offline cache setting that I find very useful. However, it does have a one time fee of 5 USD. But the client is completely up to your preference - no right choice.

If you care about Last.FM scrobbling, use something like Pano Scrobbler on your phone.

For desktop streaming, Jellyfin isn’t required. Use which ever media player you like best.

As for accessing your Jellyfin server outside your home network, Tailscale is an option. It was relatively easy to set up, even for someone who’s dumb with networking.

don’t forget the second part where i quit something i’m good at because i don’t immediately see exponential growth which means my current abilities are a mere fluke

I felt they were using the fact that Batman is an orphan, and being a billionaire is an excuse to explain how he can fund his… hobby?

But I could see the billionaire propaganda aspect as well. I guess it depends on the author’s intent.

I’d recommend doing a dual boot sooner and slowly shifting your files & apps. It took me about 3 months to find a distro and desktop environment i like, get my apps or alternatives installed, and get used to it.

If you wait until EOL, you may be overwhelmed and frustrated, increasing the likelihood of calling quits and accepting Windows 11.

watermelon and salt is one of those things that sounds strange in theory, then you try it and you regret that you could ever think that way

i appreciate your effort and not just adding the entire Grimes album

You have to wonder if these “leaders” of big companies have families or hobbies or like doing literally anything normal.

Being addicted to working and hoarding money beyond reason is an addiction at the end of the day and it has wide reaching impact. They need to get serious help.

That’s how I originally interpreted it. I thought the difference in shading was to signify she’s a ghost. Unfortunately, I guess that’s not the author’s intent.

I wish there were more spooky comics though :(

which lego sets are you planning on getting?

This explains a lot. I finished my fifth book of the year yesterday and now woke up with a headache.

I’ll need to do something dumb to counteract this immense knowledge.
