Bro gets it

Did anyone try to return to reddit and notice it just didn't do it for you anymore?

So I’ve switched to lemmy since the reddit meltdown started, experienced quite some withdrawal symptoms, occasionally turned back to reddit, more often logged out than logged in. Now I am merely using Lemmy occasionally and by far not as often as I used reddit before. No more doom scrolling....

Too much rage bait, also after a time in here it’s quite apparent how much the algorithm tries to push you to addiction.

I miss the niche communities tho.

I prefer Wayland (.social) though

Context: Twitter is currently rebranding it self as X.com, which is the bottom logo. X.org is a FOSS implementation of the The X Window System which is being slowly replaced by the newer Wayland display server. Because of the Twitter rebrand Someone decided to make Wayland.social, to parody the X.org to Wayland transition.

Bro thinks he is Nickelodeon 😭

My friend sold his Video Game Collection, it just made me have a midlife crisis at 29. Is this normal?

My friend and I collect old video games. But all my physical media just sits on my shelves and collects dust. Why do I even collect them? I literally just emulate everything. Is there a purpose to what I do? People ask me why I collect and I never have a real answer because I don’t even know. If I never play my stuff, is it...

I would like to know every song’s lyrics upon hearing the first 10 seconds, think of the karaoke nights 🎤

Do you prefer PC or laptop? (freeonlinesurveys.com)

I was having a friendly discussion with someone this morning about PC and Laptops for work/education stuff, he suggested that I could use a chromebook for all this stuff and this would be a good idea and make things easier. I strongly disagreed with this, mainly because I hate laptops, the keyboard and touchpad make me angry and...

I was desktop-only during my whole college studies and gotta say, I really enjoy the freedom that working from a laptop gives you (especially being a remote worker). I like the fact that I can now dedicate my desktop setup for gaming and entertainment, it keeps work and daily life separated :)

I would see value on this for making excuses to my boss. Extra points if you mimic some meeting services crash screens.

Some people find Slay the Spire’s art ugly. Personally I find it creative and original, definitely more personality than if it was just another pixel art game. 😁

Really? Why do you say so? I always found it pretty usable, in mobile some buttons being so near the edges can be pretty uncomfortable tho.

Do you use the swipe to type feature on your phone? (kbin.social)

Is this how most people type on mobile these days, drawing lines all over a keyboard instead of tapping the individual keys? I've never had an iPhone so I don't even know if they can do this natively, but I know you can switch keyboards at least, so it should still be an option if not.

It’s really cool for typing one-handed.

How to de-radicalize my mom's youtube algorithm?

She’s almost 70, spend all day watching q-anon style of videos (but in Spanish) and every day she’s anguished about something new, last week was asking us to start digging a nuclear shelter because Russia was dropped a nuclear bomb over Ukraine. Before that she was begging us to install reinforced doors because the...

yt-dlp is the way my friend, I got a command to download a specific playlist of mine every once in a while:

alias youtube-dl-playlist-guardar=“yt-dlp -x -f bestaudio --external-downloader aria2c --external-downloader-args ‘-c -j 3 -x 3 -s 3 -k 1M’ --ignore-errors --continue --audio-format mp3 ‘https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=_______’”

@croobat@lemmy.world avatar

You are very welcome! I use it with aria2, it’s opcional but recommended, in case you don’t want it you can strip the --external-downloader and -args part :)

croobat,
@croobat@lemmy.world avatar

That’s exactly it, I use aria2 pretty much for parallel downloads (also to be able to resume them).

Google nowadays works if you wanna search something from the Wikipedia or like the same 20 websites. For anything else, good luck going through all the SEO autogenerated garbage.

Notifications fucking suck, if it isn’t either my alarm or my grandma’s emergency button, my phone ain’t gonna do a damn thing to alert me.

Is there a Rust library like the 7zip suite that can extract all common archive and compressed file formats?

I’m looking to build something in Rust that requires being able to extract a variety of archive and compressed file formats, like various forms of compressed tar files, zip files, iso files, etc. The 7zip software suite is really good at both auto-detecting what format it’s in and extracting almost anything you throw at it...
