Yep, great links. That’s what I’ve been using. Not all the content I’m looking for is available as torrents though. On top of that, I’m mainly interested in Latino Spanish dubs, not Spanish Spanish.

I should try more sites from the downloading category though. I just automatically went to the torrenting section and skipped over others.

Cool! It’s the main way I install GUI apps now.

Librewolf is a pretty easy drop in replacement. Although you may want to adjust some of the privacy settings, if you’re having issues with websites, they may be too strict.

LOL.

Person tries to make small talk

zymagoras777: OMG. I’m totally offended. What an attention whore!!1

OK, dude. You know you can just ignore the post, right? Just move along.

So what do they actually offer, on top of the work of creative people making music? Not much.

OK, so I left Spotify for Navidrome a while back BUT. What Spotify sells isn’t music. Spotify sells curation and recommendations. Most people aren’t music lovers that want to hunt for cool new music. They just want a pre-generated list of songs that they’ll more or less like. That’s actually kinda huge.

A recommendation engine is something I wish fediverse or open source would tackle. I’m on Navidrome now, but I’m definitely listening to way less music now—access isn’t an issue—I just haven’t had time to hunt around for new music. Investigating new bands takes time. On Spotify, you do it without even really thinking about it.

But he said Linux is a hassle to use because of updates … Just get used to using the package manager

Yeah, package managers are great… but also… for somethings… flatpaks from Flathub/Software Center are also great because those apps get automatically updated in the background, so you don’t even have to think about updating anything.

Steam, Obsidian, and Discord are on Flathub (easy, popular app store for Linux)

Wow! It’s so nice that the company got back to him! /s

But, seriously, I’m not doing take home projects anymore. I recently interviewed at a company that rhymes with Lagi. They asked me to build an app for them for 2 weeks. I did. I sent them the project and then they just fucking ghosted me. I sent them 3 follow up emails and nothing. Not even a rejection.

Watching this post. I still don’t fully understand how Usenet works.

Well, clearly this is gonna be something that every republican will oppose, right? Riiiight? The government tracking citizens with a database?? My conspiracy theory neighbor bitches about this all the time. He’s gonna oppose this, right???

Yeah, Reaper is surprising! It’s in the Arch repos and Flathub.

I would have been happy if I had to build it from source or download a random deb from their website. But, damn. It’s on Linux and easily installable!

Open Source, permissive! Do what ever you want with my code!

No, not like that!

Mommy, that source available project is claiming to be Open Source™️! 🚨 🚓

Should be popular distro so if i have a problem i can ask about it

I mean, Arch has the Arch Wiki which is very good. (I use Arch, btw.) 😸

I’m surprised Mint is giving you trouble. Where you doing something… risky? Or maybe the hardware you’re running isn’t very compatible?

Otherwise, a distro like VanillaOS (or any immutable distro) might be able to keep your system more stable.

I really hope the US will at some point adopt the objectively better metric system!

Me too. I’m trying! 🤝

Cool! Thanks for sharing!

Now that I think about it, I think I own a carpenter’s measuring tape. Maybe that’s why they don’t call out cm.

Also just to be clear, my measuring tape is definitely not a standard tape you can buy at a local hardware store. It took some effort for me to find a metric-only measuring tape.

centimeters is probably the most common in households

I’m curious, where are you from? In the US, I’d say we think of centimeters as a pseudo-inch, so I think I understand why people would gravitate to centimeters here.

But do other countries use centimeters as much? I’m especially curious about really metric countries like Japan or (who else?) France? Germany? I wouldn’t be surprised if Canada or UK use centimeters.

Related: centimetres or millimetres

It’s great that the units are linked like this. I actually had to use this once. I didn’t have a container to measure out 1liter of water, but I did have a kitchen scale that could measure 1,000 grams! 🙌🏽
