Revolve or die

On Android, Mull offers more extensions, unless that's changed recently

You didn't specify open source so I'll post a mixture...

GrayJay (YouTube and other streaming video) RiMusic (YT music streamer) Easy Noise (white noise for sleeping) Peristyle (wallpaper changer)

Eh call me when they make a new Gun Nac

This is illegal in the UK and probably other places in Europe. US really needs to make a law against this kind of shit

But also, why do Danish priests wear Elizabethan ruffs?

I actually think it can be harder to communicate moderation. I have a friend who's a recovering alcoholic and when he says "I don't drink" he rarely gets any pushback.

Whereas I do drink sometimes, and even get drunk very occassionally, but can go weeks without it. Some people have trouble with the idea that I drank one time they saw me but are choosing not to the next time. It's a bit like the way some straight or gay people can't wrap their heads around the concept of bisexuality... "which one are you? Straight or gay? Teetotal or drinker?" 😂

Make Gameboy games. Make music. Cook

Israel "intends to deliberately cause massive destruction to infrastructure and civilian centers" while taking large numbers of civilian casualties for granted. That violates the laws of war, the memo states.

I guess you're arguing the memo only accuses them of intending to destroy "civilian centres", not civilians. But ""taking large numbers of civilian casualties for granted" is part of the intent. Israel is the arsonist who knows there are children sleeping in the house.

My view is that the Dutch are, in diplomatic language, saying that.

u wot m8?

I've been enjoying Kagi, although it also proxies google and others, and you have to pay for it, and I was dismayed to read on Lemmy recently that the CEO may be a sea lion. So yeah, the search for good search continues I suppose

It's more than not giving a shit. Killing civilians is a feature not a bug, it helps Israel's war aims in several ways and is entirely intended.

Got it, thanks. Still a cool project but I'd love a Pocket

In my personal experience, although I still struggle with this, things do get better. Both getting better at social interaction, and caring less about being bad at it

Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro and Brave.

I'm in the UK. When I was young it would be around 10 degrees now, 15 tops. The forecast for tomorrow is 24 degrees

I've got a Hisense A5 and reading is surprisingly nice on it. Although this looks even smaller?

Also regarding the overall idea - just get a Kobo and put Koreader on it, then sideload any book format you like.

'Facing legal trouble'. Yeah, because that's really the only negative in this situation 🤦‍♂️

So is this pretty much an Analogue Pocket with a less good screen?

Very nice

I haven't tried LMMS in about 15 years, can it compete with closed source DAWs now?

Dave the Diver, running pretty well on Ubuntu via Proton

I just cancelled Kagi. It's good but not really good enough to justify the cost, plus stuff detailed here https://www.osnews.com/story/139270/do-not-use-kagi/

I gave yandex a quick run, it's actually very good, functionally, but a privacy nightmare.

Currently trying out Mojeek, one of the few outside the big three to have it's own index. Pretty good - not all the conveniences of the bigger ones but maybe good enough most of the time

I made a track for my game, yeah, but using UGEtracker which is built into GB Studio. It's not the easiest to use tbh so it wasn't that fun.

LSDJ sounds very cool, have you checked out the DirtyWave M8? I ran the cheap version (Anbernic console with a dongle) but I couldn't get over the learning curve. Now I have a Polyend Tracker Mini which I really like

BTW I'm not really a programmer either, GB Studio simplifies things a lot and it's free if you want to check it out

I'm not convinced it's possible. My internal voice has a different accent, not just different acoustic properties.

I love gaming on the go so I'll put in a vote for the GBA, which has quite a few NES and SNES conversions.as well as soke great games in it's own right

Sounds great, I've never been but I should do it 😃

Yeah, you don't even have to jailbreak it, you can just install it alongside the kobo software, then you can keep both. It's a bit fiddly to set up but not too bad https://github.com/koreader/koreader/wiki/Installation-on-Kobo-devices

Koreader is available from the Play store if you have an android phone, you can try it out first. Its very customisable, I spend hours tweaking the settings because that's my idea of fun 😂

I was pleasantly surpsied by how much audio has improved on Linux when I came back to it this year with Ubuntu studio. Reaper or Bitwig are the way to go. Plugins are the main problem, bridging works OK apparently, but there are some decent native options too

Fun fact, Charles Darwin married his cousin. It used to be a more common among white Britons (and other Europeans, especially royalty lol), but it's rare now. It is indeed quite common among Britons of Pakistani heritage, buts it's becoming rarer. And the risk of genetic defects is actually quite small. I don't think it can be considered incest when its legal.

There is a theory that the reduction in cousin marriage in Europe reduced the power of clan groupings and led to the more indivualistic liberal culture we have now, with both good and less desirable effects (basically, more freedom but weaker communal bonds)

Gun Nac on NES, my favourite ever Shmup. It's fairly forgiving but I still haven't beaten it!

Hmm worrying. I switched to Fastmail too and use a lot of their 'masked emails'. No problems so far, touch wood

Yes! I tried a couple for Linux and they were shite 😂

To answer the 'just use the browser' comments - I don't like the tiny image box for posts. I'd like a much larger display for image/video-based posts so I can enjoy them at a glance. I'll only click into them if I especially want to read or post comments

Also the US is hotter and a light beer is best when you've been out in 100°F heat for a while.

Hmm, Greece, Italy and Spain would like a word with Minnesota, Wyoming and Maine. And let's not even mention Alaska

Yep UK's certainly not sweltering, although we have gone over 100f on five occasions, all in the last 3 years (and all in the south east of England which is our warmest region)

I couldn't say scientifically but it's generally not felt that humid. We do get what we call 'muggy' days where you can feel a storm brewing, but often the hottest days are drier.

I've experienced real heat and humidity in Northern Australia and we never get those levels in the uk.

Also Renoise (also not FOSS,. but good)

Yeah I've been too lazy to install a custom ROM. I do use a different launcher (KISS) and am pretty happy with the phone overall. I do get the odd random crash, and the memory management is a bit aggressive

Ah I see, thanks
