It is definitely leading us directly to a type of feudalism though. Where power is held by billionaires and corporations instead of local warlords.

Hours later she was still at it, hairs scattered, baffled looking… saying how could someone live with so many choices lol.

Oh man I relate to this so hard hahaha…

Do everything you can to try to preserve those settings, because you will need to do a clean install at some point (well maybe not, I’m sure it depends on your distro), and you’re gonna lose all of it.

You could just send it to me instead of letting it fall… Just a thought.

Took me weeks to figure out a way to run a script at startup in a konsole window that gets hidden but continues running in the background. Tmux could do it but I found it cumbersome.

screen did the trick with a single command.

Ok. I guess I just didn’t automatically understand what “the shortcut” meant.

Hamburger? Who eats a burger without cheese? In this political climate?

Weirdly, a lot of them seem to care a whole lot about the color of their speech bubbles in their sms app

To be fair, you can do pretty much anything on a rooted Android.

But I wouldn’t say “instantly” since you’d have to root it first.

Dunno about other Androids, but just hitting the “power” (or wake or whatever it is) button 3 times on the Pixel pulls up the camera app. Even if the phone is currently locked. I think you can set it up so one of the physical buttons takes a photo as well but not 100% sure.

Meh, I haven’t really missed it as much as I expected. The one and only (pretty minor in my case) issue I’ve run into is not being able to charge the phone while connected to the car’s stereo. Though it wouldn’t surprise me if you could just use a usb-c splitter to do that.

EndeavourOS is the first Linux distro I tried a little over a year ago.

I have never felt the need to even try anything else. If it ain’t broke…

Baloo only takes up a lot of CPU if you have it set to index file contents and hidden files. Shut those off, let it index completely, and it won’t happen ever again.

You might be able to keep “hidden files” on, but indexing file contents always bogged my laptop down.

I’m not sure I even understand what you’re talking about and how it relates to my comment . What shortcut? Nothing to do with what I was talking about.

Unless you get the (superior) Hebrew National dogs that come in packs of 7.

Streaming sites should have options like some video games where you can choose what type of speakers you are listening through. Because I do have nice 5.1 speakers, but I don’t always want to use them. Because they are loud as fuck lol.

Beatles songs are notorious for splitting vocals to one ear only.

FYI, you’re listening to the wrong mix then. Beatles albums (particularly those before The White Album, or maybe Sgt. Pepper/Magical Mystery Tour, I forget exactly) were never recorded with stereo in mind. The tech was pretty new, and the stereo mixes of those songs/albums were more of a novelty.

If you’re listening to the 2009 Remasters, make sure you’re listening to the mono versions if it’s an album prior to 1967-1968 or so, otherwise you’re gonna get this “fake stereo”, panning a mono signal between L and R, bullshit.

I don’t think it’s supposed to line up “correctly” no?

Lysergic acid diethylamide doesn’t fix a bad mix.

I mean… Have you ever listened to “Whole Lotta Love” or “Axis: Bold as Love” while tripping balls? Those panning parts are pretty wild.

And yet Pet Sounds (and even the contemporary stuff they originally recorded for SMiLE but never officially released) still sounds phenomenal to this day despite being in mono.

The man was a wizard.

00s music sounds so shitty because that was when digital music first became a thing. People thought 128kbps bitrate MP3s were acceptable (until they hear that mp3 they got from KaZaa play over the PA at their wedding and realize it sounds like raccoons fighting in a trashcan).
