Foobar! I tweaked it for years to be as simple yet powerful as possible. It counted plays, the date when songs were added and last played, which is lost now. It had a beautiful waveform-view I miss every day. And it converted and renamed files exactly as I told it to. I found some workarounds, but nothing comes close. Rhythmbox is good but misses the waveform view. Other applications are beautiful but offer too much bells and whistles, I like it simple. Feel free to recommend stuff!

I was a windows fanboy for more than 20 years. Going back every couple of months feels strange. Windows has changed, feels intrusive and uncandid to me. Linux is still new and sometimes a little strange to me, I miss my perfectly customized music player but apart from that, it's so much fun to use. I can't ever go back. Looking at Windows-user struggling makes me unconformable because i know they will never experienced how using a free OS feels like. They are so used to smartphones and computers shoving stuff down their throats instead of being the best tool you can come up with.

Where my twelvethousandtwentyfive people at?! We don't care about the Jesus, Neolithic Revolution all the way!

I was one of the commenters but I'm of no help. It just worked. I use Linux Mint, it has Nvidia-support out of the box. I installed sunshine and, well, used it. No extra settings, no tinkering.
I love Mint, btw. I don't see how this is a beginners OS. Just because everything is easy and just works? I have no intentions to distro hop because I don't see anything I could gain from changing to a different Linux version.

I dual boot Linux Mint, installed it AFTER Windows and never had any problems. I default boot Linux.

I have a Nvidia card, use sunshine and never had any problems in Linux Mint

Yeah, he is an idiot. But can we please stop this anti-fandom and just ignore the guy. Hating a celebrity is so much wasted energy!

Ragebait is working: Fuck that evil corporation! OsmAnd all day every day.

I glued myself to the streets to protest, I thought it was a good idea to shake things up a bit, get people to join us and confront the governement with their inaction. Instead I was cursed and spit at, got beaten and payed a lot of money. Some people might want change, but hardly anyone wants to change themselves. That hit me the hardest. It's still too cosy, until it is too late.

What is this meme template called? I always chuckle at the different topics but don't know anything about where it comes from.

  • A pressure cooker

  • A ghetto bidet:
    3D print it, or take a small softdrink bottle, make a hole in it's neck using a hot needle or corkscrew. Fill it with water, hold it upside down and squirt your butthole clean with it. Use a little toiletpaper or cloth to dab it dry. Can't live without it anymore.

How to Blow Up a Pipeline (film):

[...] to prevent local pollution by shutting off the pipeline flow [...]

Saw a documentary about a Chinese billionaire on TV a couple of years ago. He was born poor in some village and worked his way up, owning dozens of factories now. He was super busy, grumpy to the people around him and very torn. He asked the camera if he is part of the solution or part of the problem, he couldn't tell. Told us he misses the sounds of frogs in the evening, when he was playing with his friend in the forests and fields that are now industrial parks. Made me cry, what are we doing?

I don't agree. The comment points out the single most effektive move an individal without political nor financial power can make to cut personal co2-emissions with just a change of habit. It's not about veganism, animal rights or your health, it's just about sanity. Us still eating meat even though we know better is an incredibly dumb waste of energy for the sake of pleasure, exactly like this shitty powereating globe.
As long as >95% of the global population still consumes meat I understand the urge to bring this topic everywhere.

Fragile nationality

I buy strictly second hand and spend around 70€, never more than 100€. Life is good a few generations behind, the phones I get are still absolutely adequate to daily drive. I use LineageOS with mostly open source apps, no games, no google. I have a Pixel 4a at the moment, the camera is more than enough to keep some memories. My phone is rather a sturdy tool than a toy and status symbol, I really like it like that!

You can get an old Raspberry Pi very cheap, i have a 2b but you can go even lower. It's probably a better idea to spend a few bucks and install DietPi with Pihole on it. It uses only 5 watts, your laptop takes probably ten times more.

Am I the only one using Evolution here? I really like everything about it. All in one, simple, responaive.

This is great advice. I'm not at all interested in building and maintaining a library of stuff I won't watch twice anyway. Resist the urge. I hooked an old laptop to my TV, put Linux Mint on it and use KDE Connect to remote control it's mouse and keyboard with my phone. Bookmark some streaming sources in Firefox, install FreeTube for your YouTube needs, add an external harddrive for stuff your really want to keep and your have a great media center for zero money.

From the Vegan Bullshit Bingo:

#30 How do you spot a vegan?
Haha @hobowillie, that's hilarious! Mostly by what you also recognize human rights, women's and all other activists by: They talk about the grievances they have discovered and want to fix. By the way: Often vegans can also be recognized by the fact that they peacefully eat their soy schnitzel at the barbecue until someone, driven by their own bad conscience, has to make a comment about it and is suddenly angry at vegans for some reason after they have calmly and kindly explained their motivations upon request.

#54 Vegans think they are better than everyone
While it feels good to know that you have questioned traditions and made your own informed decisions in line with values that reject violence rather than promote it, you should not get on a high horse, because almost all vegans were once not vegan and everyone can take this step. However, completely refusing to address the issue is a difficult stance to take. By the way: Just because a vegan once told you an uncomfortable truth, they were not being mean to you. And even if you didn't like a vegan once, that doesn't question the whole point of veganism or justify continuing to exploit animals.

In FreeTube, go to Settings > SponsorBlock and enable "Use DeArrow Video Titles" and "Use DeArrow for thumbnails"

Last Week Tonight said that Trump did not expect to win at all the first time and therefore entered his term very unprepared. This time it is completely different. He had four years to assemble a ruthless, strong, and clever team, which is now ready with a well-developed plan.

Signal uses Amazon's servers, look it up. It's all encrypted of course.

Or you get to experience another big bang. That would be worth the wait.

So they didn't vandalize art, they bedraggled the glas protecting the art, didn't they? As if they didn't really wanted to destroy the Mona Lisa and Warhols Soup Cans.

It's on YouTube

I really dislike non-vegan leftists and environmemtalists, the bullshit, the endless excuses as soon as YOU have to change, not others. Stop eating meat and save 3/4 of landuse, water pollution and co2 emissions.

Low on Kohlberg

eSpeak is a damn good conversation starter. If I fire up my OsmAnd and some german robot with a dutch accent (or is it Kölsch?!) starts giving me directions noone ever not commented on it. Downloading Thorsten Medium right now.

All these mouse cursor touchpad for big phones-apps. They seem pretty easy to do and are quite handy.

But you just learned no art was vandalized. That might change your opinion.

Why would a couple of fossile destroyers change their very lucrative business-model if millions of first world citizens are just as cheap, greedy and irresponsible as well? I'm pretty sure a lot of us would act very much like them, if we were put in their places. It's so easy to point fingers at the billionaires. As long as they don't change, why should I?! To be a better person, that's why! Fuck those psychopaths, stop consuming!

I just installed Jellyfin on my Raspi 4 and I'm not happy. It's so laggy and slow I can barely use it. What is your setup?

Install LineageOS?

No, we are not past that point. Stuff can happen fast. Christianity becoming a world religion after being some strange hippy cult for few generations, the collapse of communist eastern europe without a war, noone saw that coming. I agree it looks grim and I'm not optimistic, but I refuse to give up just a few years after grasping global warming. It is not too late and becoming a doomer is not helping.

I like the simplicity and that everything is up to date. Not sure about the weekly 11 GB of updates though.

Just copy paste the smartfunny words. 99% of the time I'm not interested in the nickname of the person nor their avatar, so you source-link only because it's nice. :)
