  • Outertune, Harmony, etc. kept dying on me too, so I pulled the nuclear option and set up a Jellyfin server for my music. yt-dlp can download whole playlists, so I had it pull the 250-ish songs I regularly listen to from youtube. I use FinAmp as the music app on my phone now, it’s set to automatically download the songs I add to my Jellyfin.

    Only thing I haven’t figured out yet is how to find out about new music, but at least I’m now always guaranteed to have something that works.




  • So that leads us into the actual question: would you be willing to take a job where you pretty much just train men on how to act around/ treat women?

    Nope, hard pass. Never been into the social field myself, because it’s full of bullshit jobs. What would make this one any different than any of those “Life coach” jobs that promise to teach you all the secrets that will instantly fix you, as long as you have the money to keep paying for that “wisdom”?
    Reality is, there is no single proven way to treat women. And if anyone claims that there is and they know it, it’s a scam.



  • I think Valve is one of the only companies I don’t actively hate. Steam is a pretty solid platform that hasn’t been too enshittified over the years, even though the gambling on there is kinda concerning.
    The advances in Proton are usually attributed to them. And I like how permissive the family sharing on there is (I personally only own like 2 games and just leech the rest from my husband).

    But of course, they might just have a good PR team and be secretly shitty. I’m always down to just hop back to pirating games.

    Oh, in that context, Humble Bundle seems pretty decent as well. That’s where my husband got most of his steam games from


  • Oh, that’s not just a Linux issue sadly. My company uses Dell Laptops with Win11 as development machines and every single coworker has issues with their laptop overheating in their bag if they don’t completely shut it down beforehand (I say completely because if you close it before it’s fully shut down, it will still keep running and overheat, fun!)



  • I’ve been on it for a bit over a year now and honestly, it’s just the new normal. Can’t really say I miss anything, and things like the separate profiles are pretty neat.

    Although, I have bricked myself once by enabling developer settings and accidentally changing my language to a dev-only language that made the os crash on boot. But the Graphene Devs fixed it and unbricked my phone within a week after I posted the problem to the forum.



  • If a chicken egg is an egg that hatches into a chicken, then unfertilized chicken eggs would not be chicken eggs. But if you took an alligator egg and transplanted a developing chicken embryo into it, that would become a chicken egg.
    You’d get the heuristic “All chickens have hatched from chicken eggs”, which sounds pretty elegant.

    If a chicken egg is an egg laid by a chicken, then you couldn’t reliably say that a chicken egg hatches into a chicken - the heuristic from before would become “Not all chickens have hatched from chicken eggs”. And that one, while it feels a bit imprecise, might be closer to what we observe in reality, especially with that Proto-chicken argument. So the Proto-chicken would have laid a Proto-chicken egg, which hatched into a chicken, which laid chicken eggs.
    And it would work with the current scientific hijinks like hatching chickens from different eggs or straight from test tubes.





  • I’ve been daily driving Bazzite with Gnome too for the last few weeks! It works perfectly fine, but I was weirdly unhappy with the aesthetic of it, despite knowing for a fact that I love Gnome, especially the bare-bones Gnome that CachyOS has.
    I only found out about Gnome extensions a few days ago while trying to get rid of the ugly Bazzite Logo in my top bar. It’s probably super obvious to anyone else, but those extensions make such a huge difference and playing around with different ones is absolutely worth it!
    OP, if you do end up going with Bazzite, go to the “Extension Manager” and toggle a few of those on or off to see the difference! Getting new ones is super easy too!
