Just curious what are the top 3 podcasts you listened to this year on whatever platform. Antennapod released a feature that summarized your year and well the amount of hours kinda surprised me in a good way, haha....
Seems pointless and inconvenient for me as they usually seem to be poor quality, and can you really listen to music in the shower, and are you showering long enough to benefit from it?...
I don’t see why artists would receive money for music you purchased on bandcamp, unless I’m misunderstanding what you’re saying. It isn’t a streaming service. The only money exchanged is the money to purchase the album. It’s not monetized otherwise.
You might be able to stream some stuff you haven’t purchased, but artists have full control over what you can listen to and what you can’t, so those are treated more as a preview of the album rather than a “stream” in the Spotify sense.
Not just the terminal, I mean a full remote desktop. What’s the best method? Not just from one linux machine to another machine, but also remoting from a windows machine to a linux machine....
They’re both good instances. People have been heavily propagandized to hate communists. You could make the kindest most welcoming space on the internet and if you put the label “communist” on it, it will be hated.
For me, it’s jingle all the way. It’s got everything. A drunk reindeer. A terrorist mailman. Arnold punching a deer. Arnold punching Sinbad. Arnold punching Santa. Arnold in general....
I haven’t watched it, but I think the 2007 movie is just a re-airing of the miniseries (which was two parts) as a single part. At least that’s what it seems like looking around the internet.
I’m definitely watching it this holiday. I love Pratchett.
I think e-ink readers are incredible. My eyes feel like they’re reading a normal book, but it’s got a backlight, doesn’t take up a bunch of physical space I don’t have, and it’s a lot easier to read using only one hand at a time (even turning pages).
Interesting. What sorts of things is pumpkin spice being put into besides the typical lattes / baked goods? I ask because I really enjoy pumpkin spice.
There is this common narrative I see all the time, implying that we as individuals are empowered to choose and manifest our own destiny, and this comes up often in privacy discussions....
People are bringing up the issue and they’re being told to vote lol
Vote for what? Both parties in the world’s largest military party completely support the PATRIOT act and condemn the actions of Edward Snowden. “Vote” is not a solution to privacy.
I never shared my feelings on whether or not voting matters broadly. I’m talking about the specific subject of privacy. Neither of the major parties in my country are pro-privacy. I’m not sure what Donald Trump has to do with it.
I’ll be interested to see how JetBrains’s Fleet works out. I like Rider a lot more than full Visual Studio (also Rider is actually available on Linux).
Yeah, it’s pretty underhwelming. There’s a lot of people who claim Starfield is a “great Bethesda game” but “people hyped it up too much.” In my opinion, it’s a terrible Bethesda game. The best thing those games do right is you can set off in a direction and along the way, find a world full of little things. Landmarks, unique little stories, side quests, and even just interesting items to grab. Starfield dropped all of this in favor of incredibly generic proc gen planets that have the same couple of outposts you’ll see on every planet. Like THE SAME. The interiors are THE SAME. Every safe, dead body, message log is THE SAME.
It lacks the one thing that brought me back to Bethesda games despite all their flaws.
Unlike Star Trek, they failed to imagine humans beyond capitalism. In one of the “largest” cities in a galaxy with infinite resources, infinite space, and faster than light travel… why am I helping out a homeless shelter? Why is it literally modern problems, but in space? Surely the invention of technologies like the grav drive would leave to SOME sort of change in class structure? There’s just no creativity. You could put a green filter on everything, bomb things out a bit, and you’d assume you’re playing Fallout, but you find out Vault-Tec sent ships into space to colonize the galaxy as well.
There’s also just SO MANY random and interesting encounters that you could entirely miss. There’s the person who lost a ring in a pond, but when you jump down to get it, they assault you. There’s the Nord that has been stripped naked and frozen in place by a witch. There’s the boots of blinding speed (I loved throwing these on and using the mini-map to navigate the roads).
I also loved the way you had to utilize multiple forms of fast travel to get around. “Okay, if I take the silt strider to Balmora, there’s a Mage’s Guild that will take me to-”. It was a fun world to live in.
And the factions forced you to choose between them. You couldn’t do it all with one character, because that wouldn’t make sense!
Maybe I’ll go get OpenMW and play for a bit again…

Why is Lemmygrad hated in the wider space of Lemmy?
I’ve been trying to find a good Marxist instance, but Lemmygrad and Hexbear are widely hated. Why is that? Are there any good leftist instances?
What's your favorite Christmas movie, and why?
For me, it’s jingle all the way. It’s got everything. A drunk reindeer. A terrorist mailman. Arnold punching a deer. Arnold punching Sinbad. Arnold punching Santa. Arnold in general....
Do you prefer digital or physical books?
