For Android users and FOSS enthusiasts, AntennaPod is pretty great.

I didn't make the meme, but closed-source browsers should all be a no-go. Plus, OS exclusivity is never great.

finally i can turn nazis into loss

196 column discourse always sleeps on the richly decorated arabic versions of corinthian capitals, like this or this (both from moorish spain)

My bad, I reposted this because of the recent Google stuff without considering that issue. I'll remove it if anyone asks.

Tom Scott runs a Podcast (and formerly a gameshow) called Lateral, which is basically all lateral thinking puzzles. I highly recommend it.

The one the Gnome team is working on right now, as described here.

The basic premise of rearranging windows at an optimal size, without stretching them out to fill fractions of the screen, seems like the perfect medium between floating and tiling.

Of course! Thanks for the heads up.

fuck, knock that one down a rank too

Coming from Windows, gnome was the desktop that taught me how to use and appreciate multiple workspaces. I'm now entirely sold on KDE, but there's something to be said about the gnome workflow.

I'm not a Gnome user, but I'm geniunely hyped for the new tiling feature. If KDE doesn't get something similar soon I might change DE just for that.

There's also plenty of FOSS obsidianlikes. Logseq looks promising, but I'm sticking with Obsidian because I rely a lot on some of the extensions.

Either way, migrating is as easy as opening the same folder in one app or the other, so you might as well try.

I'm not a huge fan of the graphics in these 2D FF remasters, they feel 'neither here nor there' with some elements in pixel art and some not.

Octopath Traveler's the only game I feel got away with it, probably because the heavy filtering makes it more consistent.

I don't think it's a bad idea in principle, but what got me suspicious is that I couldn't find the resolution anywhere on their page. From the only picture of the screen I found, it looks painfully low res:

Some of the inventions that historically took way longer than you'd expect: the shoe, the wheelbarrow, and the stirrup.

Also archival techniques so that history's not as messy the next time around.

Some classics I didn't see here yet:

Pink Floyd - Wish you were here (all the songs from that album, come to think of it, are in the second person and usually pretty specificially talking to Syd Barrett)

Bob Dylan - Like a rolling stone

Now for a completely different take on "feeling like a conversation", I have an instrumental recommendation: Bernstein and Brubeck - Dialogues for Jazz Combo and Orchestra

Edit: just noticed that a lot of songs by Steely Dan are also in the second person, usually directed and criminal or tragic figures. Kid Charlemagne is my favorite in that format.

Stardew Valley is great even if it's out of date (though I'm not a huge fan of the interface on mobile)

Minecraft is also great on Android these days

I second the recommendation of Go. I'm very much a beginner, but the subtlety and variety of every game kind of ruined chess for me.

Some more recommendations of learning or beginner resources:

Go Magic has a lot of really in depth video and interactive tutorials. There's a paid plan, but the beginner and early intermediate courses are free and way more thorough than anything else online right now.

The Conquest of Go is a great little game on steam that has its own tutorials and a campaign mode with scaling difficulty. It's my favorite way to play against bots, but you can also connect your OGS account and play online through there.

I second Plasma as a touch desktop. Neon is pretty great, but I'm not a huge fan of the LTS base + bleeding edge DE combo. I'd personally recommend either Fedora KDE for frequent updates overall, or Kubuntu LTS for general stabilty.

I've been using Krohnkite on KDE. Are those you mentioned better?

The culprit went into hiving.

Thank god that's changing tho. CK3 and (though to a lesser extent) Vicky 3 both have relatively decent tutorials.

Revolution 9, as was often joked about on beatlescirclejerk in the other place.

At $200, what's the catch?

Don't patents expire faster than copyright tho?

Carl Humpfries's Piano Handbook and Piano Improvisation Handbook are great, and cover enough for even an absolute beginner. I like noodling around with no previous musical knowledge, and they work very well for that. I think both include pretty decent sections on rhythms, and discuss pretty varied styles.

Just made an account, and was glad to see an option to import from Calibre. My only gripe so far is that it's pretty bad at recognizing books with no ISBN registered. It seemed to think a ton of my books were Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows or The Fellowship of the Ring for some reason (or Marx's Capital in French).

My only complaint about Okular is when it comes to form fillable PDFs. I usually prefer using the inbuilt Firefox pdf reader for those.

Paris by Supertramp. The performances, recording quality and song selection are all top notch.

OsmAnd has a recording feature. I've used it for brief periods over hikes and such, but I'm not sure how functional it would be as a running all the time thing.

I've never had this as an issue with KDE. Do you have the command for prime render offloading on the Steam launch options? I usually launch my games through Lutris and it handles that pretty well.

Shout out to Fishery (309 reviews). It's pretty niche as an aquarium simulator, but very relaxing and well made.

Also, Ozymandias (770 reviews) is a great strategy game that manages to squeeze the feeling of a full game of civilization into less than one hour.

If you're interested in classic board games, The Conquest of Go (397 reviews) is a great entry point into Go, with nice tutorial features and a campaign mode that scales difficulty as you win games.

If you want to learn how to read a primary philosophical text, there's no better place to start than Descartes's Meditations. Besides its historical importance, all the arguments are superbly structured and make a point of not assuming anything at all (about prior readings or about the existence of things in general).

A lot of the conclusions will come off as strange or just plain wrong, but figuring out why is also a great exercise.

Same goes for Tron Legacy.

same as it ever was

number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine...

Interesting! Krohnkite still works so well for my use case that I didn't even realize it was unmantained. I'll give those two a shot!
