Editoria, sintetizzatori a tempo perso e anticapitalismo.

never found Joyce to be pretentious (the man knew what he was doing, and definitely succeeded in doing so) or obtuse (I mean, how many writers you can think of that could pull out the mastery of language and human sensibility out of nowhere like he does). I might be biased because I believe Ulysses saved my life: it's definitely one of the funniest, most touching, humane books I have ever had the pleasure to read. I'd push Ogre to keep up with the good work.

taught me once and for all that while death might be always near, a fear that's constantly devouring our lives and paralysing them to the point where it feels like our deepest, inner self is a husk shell of what we once were, we can still find the reason of our existence in the joys of living a life that's devoted in equal part to mystery, sensuality, knowledge and wonder. And it says this in the most democratic way you could think: everyone is entitled and deserving of the complexity of life. Oh, and also: it's an absolutely hilarious book to read through.

Knight moves to C-2, black responds by expanding the chessboard with rook to H11.

resting before baking...

I have been using Koler for a while, but my experience with it has been very buggy and confusing. Is there any alternative other than waiting for Fossify's Dialer?

My money's on an Animal Crossing, possibly not immediately on release but close to it nonetheless. New Horizons had just too much success for the company not trying to ride the wave, and they have so much room to improve on the mechanics and the variety of the setting.

The only rules I know of are help peeps who fall and keep your elbows down.

Horoscopes & astrology, and celebrity gossip.

who is this cracker? Asking for a friend...

Mhhh. I don't know how to feel about this: it seems like Mobilizon isn't getting as much traction as other federated services.

I did know about LibreLingo, but it still feels like it's taking really small steps! And the other alternatives don't seem to offer the semi-holistic experience that Duolingo provides.

Ahahah, alright I get it, but I'm no way sponsored by the one guy who built the software XD. But to answer seriously to your questions: the thing I loved about Musicbee was the ability to easily edit metadata of large collections of files seamlessly to a degree of precision and intuitiveness that, to me, feels unmatched. The integrated sound converter allows for compressing on the go. The UI is smooth and modern. The way it easily processed the addition of new files to the collection. It's just a lot of little things which I keep on finding here or there with every new software that I try, but never all of them together, bundled into a simple package like MB. I know that foobar is considered to be just as versatile; but to set it up to work as nicely out of the box like Musicbee requires an investment in time and knowledge I don't really have.

aside from the weather (which is nicer in Sicily), it's an archipelago that pretends at all costs to have a relevant European history while offering no way of exploring that history whatsoever. The rampant touristisation of La Valletta has turned it into what's basically an all-ecompassing sprawl of luxury hotels and discos where prices are inflated. I did not have a nice time there and would not go back even if I had the chance.

challenge level: impossible

The first name that comes to mind is Jacobin.

Yes! Blues is maybe even more difficult. I guess sometimes it gets incorporated into jazz magazines (I'm thinking Downbeat, where there's a blues section), but I really don't know

It's not a dumb idea per se but I'd rather play a version that's been (allegedly) optimized for Linux computers, like GOG states on the game's front page!

Give me Disco Elysium-tier choices in story development and dialogue.

Bob Dylan's 151st Dream and its false start will never not make me laugh.

Boilen has already moved on and retired at the end of 2023 iirc.

Ulysses, Siddharta, On the Road.

Do you think a send to Kindle option might be too different from a generic "send to e-reader" one? I have a Kobo and it's so sad to see only Pocket being integrated into it.

Didn't New Horizon have a DLC AND a microtransactions-riddled mobile game?

iirc it's a "fault" of the PS3 architecture which makes it practically impossible to emulate. We'll have to see if the second part of the remastered MSG collection will eventually port it.

I did download the native Linux versions.

Quagsire!

I can't seem to find it. Is it on some particular repo?

oof, no football?
