Sorry I’m a bit late
I have still yet to see any other media library handle so many tens of thousands of audio files of varying encoding & naming conventions, so smoothly; “Media Monkey” etc were oft recommended but never once up to the task. Until just a few years ago, it was remarkably convenient for ripping a CD, too; correct metadata & all.
For a short while, WMP was to music files, as Calibre is to ebooks.
I tried watching Macross Delta before english subs were offered; the fansubs by Deadfish, included these simple lines which in my head-cannon are a flawless translation of what the japanese characters said:
“Jellyfish chips is like crack.”
‘Yes.’
If you think that’s rough, try watching CBS Sunday Morning.
I swear to god, that free show that airs on broadcast TV, must be one of the hardest currently running shows to stream.
Well, that & “Shaka Ilembe”
Edit: I say Sunday Morning is hard to stream, because the CBS streaming app repeatedly fails to load the right segment after a commercial break, starting the show over at the beginning; if you skip forward from there, it shows another commercial break after you try to seek. Our last viewing of this 90-minute show, took 3.5 hours.
Migleemo a’ Trois, in 3… 2… 1…
Huh… I just assumed the Andy Dick hologram was so much more pushy that it got the other one deprecated out of pettiness.
Hodor?
Dark Matter
Yeah, Sony lost me when they broke my Linux install and degraded the DVD playback functions, within six months of me buying my PS2. Similarly, the last “good” smartphone I had, was the Palm Treo (650p\680p\Centro); since then, I’ve never had a single phone that granted direct hardware access & allowed unloading/sideloading the OS by default.
Manufacturers want deep control these days; way beyond mere root permissions.
Yes, it seems painfully obvious that the primary driver of new WiFi router sales, is WiFi overcrowding.
Them: “The WiFi is down.”
Me: ‘… No, I still see the TV & the laptop & Pi, on the network.’
Them: “I can’t connect to Flipboard.”
Me: ‘Ohhh, the internet is down. It’s probably at the cable modem. Wait a moment for it to failover to wireless, then try again.’
Them: “Yep, now the WiFi is back.”
Just make sure it isn’t running Android 4.4
No. I’m open to suggestions.
If I had to install right now, it would be Debian, just out of familiarity.
Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Linux Mint, even Kali are fundamentally changed from when I last tried them.
Linux window managers change more often than I need to reinstall; I get really tired of picking a distro based largely on its choice of window manager, just to end up with Gnome installed anyway after a few packages fetch their dependencies.
The other nice thing about running vanilla Debian (or Ubuntu) is that at least some of the documentation for some apps, will be applicable!?
I feel like you replied to someone else’s comment?
Gimp feels just like Photoshop before Creative Suite editions…
Everything that’s not MS Paint, feels like a huge upgrade to me. On Windows, I open Paint.NET as often as any other image editor, just because I don’t need more than that for most copy\paste\crop\color tasks.
I haven’t done any illustration or background\logo art in about 20 years. I’m not even sure what features are considered most defining, for a good image editor these days?
DHT crawlers find pretty much all the active torrents. No shortage of 4K content; as @burgersc12@sh.itjust.works said, just add 2160p to the search terms.
No trackers needed. (Omit the tracker URLs when loading magnet links too; they’re not at all necessary.)
The fact that no one in these comments, seems to have had a really decent FOSS IDE \ engine to recommend for 3D game development, makes me sad.
Like, Unreal is pretty great, but it’s not FOSS (& won’t run on any of my machines anyway).
Is there anything FOSS that really streamlines 3D game development?
(I want to say Vulkan but I feel like that’s some sort of perennial “gotcha!” joke, at this point?)
Literally squeezing the last months out of a Win7 laptop before services abandon it this January, & then it’ll get Linux on its cramped little SSD
Yeah, where my Mom lives, the food options are:
And she lives in a town people drive to, to get food, clothes, medicine, etc.
She gets as much as she can from the local grocer, for whatever that’s worth; the inventory is frequently poor, & about on-par with Dollar General so far as brand-representation, goes. When tourists ask if the store has something, they get pointed to Walmart.
The number of people who think they’ve ordered food delivery “from” a local restaurant, not realizing it was actually made in an UberEats\DoorDash all-in-one “ghost kitchen” located in a nondescript building nearby, vastly exceeds the number of people who’ve heard the term “ghost kitchen”. One of the most well-known local pizza shop’s deliveries, actually come from ghost kitchens, here.
Haven’t looked at MX Linux before, thanks for the info!
Like I said, I really can’t care much about window managers at this point. Mostly, I’m tired of having multiple window managers installed after just a few app installs. If I start out with Gnome\Plasma, I’ll surely end up wanting some apps that have only been made for KDE, & vice versa. Never once have I seen a Linux machine that had all the apps I’d want, using just one window manager.
I suppose most apps could be compiled from source to run on one or the other, but alternative compiles have invariably been a hassle to me…
Since I end up needing at least two window managers installed anyway & they keep changing generations about 10x as often as I change machines, it’s pointless for me to have a preference. The best window manager is whichever one each developer of each app happened to use?!?
