What I'd like is for Kamala to get in office and appoint a wicked sharp attorney general who would aggressively prosecute anyone associated with Jan 6 and Trumps many other crimes.

However, I predict Trump will get off scott free as he always has and continue being a rallying focus point for the extreme right wing. But there will be no widespread uprising. There will be legal challenges to the election, which will all fail.

If Trump survives long enough he'll try to run again in 2028, and if he can't run he'll try to mess things up for any republican candidate. He'll continue to throw a monkey wrench into any legislation that would make Democrats look good, either to improve his chances next election or just for spite.

Firefox for most browsing (especially youtube with ublock), chrome for facebook.

Rich shitbags funding divisive propaganda to make the plebs fight each other and vote against their own interests.

Ah yes the "Full Self Driving" brand of limited autopilot requiring constant human supervision.

No more tricky than windows these days. Nice thing is there's a lack of commercial BS - spyware, ads, unwanted apps etc. And pretty much no matter how old your computer gets, you can still run brand new linux on it.

Brother laser printer, black and white, ethernet connection. So fast, so reliable. Do you really NEED color? I find that its not that important, and if I need quality prints, like for photos, a 300$ printer isn't going to cut it anyway.

Ditched video games years back, partly because of RSI issues, partly because getting in to other things. For a while it was mountain biking, currently is music. Also a move that was sort of RSI related, but brought its own RSI issues which I got over eventually. Music is pretty social which is good, but also bad lol.

I was into making for a while there, but have faded from that scene since I moved during the pandemic. Now all the makerspaces are 30 mins or more away and that's kind of a dealbreaker. I don't have the space or the funds for my own CNC or wood shop, plus not as motivated without the social aspect.

Other one is skiing which I used to really be into. I'm kinda barely hanging on with that, one or two times a year. The traffic has gotten terrible and the whole thing is super expensive and hassly. I'm bored with local resorts and backcountry is somewhat deadly. It does give me a little motivation for fitness since this years trip will be pretty strenuous.

they are only 'hardcore' because of the poor desktop environment integration.

For me it just made it hurt weird, it didn't make it not hurt. Maybe one of those things where not everyone responds the same way.

Yeah this is a good option - too much ibuprofen is harmful, as is too much acetaminophen. But you can take both together and get double the pain relief.

 

I'm looking for an audio app for learning tunes by ear. Ideally would have:

1- slow playback, without adjusting pitch.
2- loop selection - to play a segment of the audio over and over
3- pitch adjustment (some old recordings are out of tune)

Anyone have one they like? For android the closest I've found is Fossify music player, which offers feature 1.

For PC, audacity has all these features, but its pretty clunky to use.

 

Just missed a meeting today because I accepted an event on Thunderbird this morning, that should have synced to Nextcloud, and then to my phone running a calendar app from 'simplemobiletools'. Never made it. After I missed the meeting I didn't see the event on nextcloud, then went to look at the event on thunderbird, and now lo and behold its on nextcloud, two hours after it was over. Cool. Still not on the phone.

Anyone have a solid calendar stack they like? I'd like to reliably get from emailed invite to alert on my phone.

 

I've just been using the audio player on ES File Explorer. It tends to forget all its state and has various other UI problems.

I'm interested in an audio player that will keep playlists for me, and remembers its state so I can resume playback. My main use case is to cue up podcasts for driving, so I want it to save my place when I don't finish listening to a whole episode during my drive. Saving my place in multiple playlists would be great too, like an audiobook and a series of podcast episodes would both have saved state so I could switch between them.

Ideally it would also activate playback whenever the phone connects to a particular bluetooth device - my car audio. The use case is I hop in the car, turn on my bluetooth receiver, and audio resumes without me needing to take the phone out of my pocket. Turn off bluetooth, playback stops.

 

Is there a term for that phenomenon where someone gets so far into a topic that they become unaware of how much contextual knowledge they have about it?

Then they write some inscrutable technical docs, use unexplained acronyms, or tell a story about “he”, "she’ and/or “they” where you have no idea who they’re talking about.

 

I miss RPAN! I could connect with my phone and stream any time, and there would be viewers, if only a few at times. Sometimes a lot though. It was great practice playing for an audience. Lots of great feedback and interactions, helped get me through the pandemic.

What's out there in the fediverse that's similar, if anything?
