I use an audio interface with bookshelf speakers… mostly overkill for people who don’t make music because they have xlr and line level inputs for using a professional mic.
Do you have room in your computer setup for two bookshelf speakers at ear height? Because otherwise, I’d recommend a sound bar type of deal.
I learned about Palestine by reading the graphic novel by journalist Joe Sacco called Palestine. Despite being a graphic novel/“comic” it is based on his actual trips to Gaza and the west bank around 1991 and interviews with Palestinians.
It’s better than doom scrolling which I have been doing a lot these last few days. You can download it free here: https://annas-archive.org/search?q=Palestine+joe+sacco
Cycling kickstarters have an awful track record. Make sure it’s make by an actual cycling company and even then it’s better to do a late pledge after some fulfillment and reviews.
I could see a world in which the US becomes even more cucked for Saudi oil instead. Venezuela ain’t gonna cut it.
Everything search app is easily my most used on my Windows PC. Instant, as-you-type file search by name with detail sorting and wildcard support. I set a keyboard shortcut as well. It puts Explorer search to shame. As good as Spotlight, which I was missing from when I had a Mac in 2008.
LaunchyQT - modern fork of Launchy that actually gets development. App launcher, dead simple.
FanControl - Fan curve software with all the features I want including hybrid temp sources, sensible automatic settings, visual graphs with an intuitive interface.
AutoHotKey - Hotkey scripting language that I can use even as someone who barely codes.
Transcribe! - Not open-source but it’s a reasonably priced audio and video slow down app for transcribing.
Yes, instances are quaking in their boots that lemmy world might *checks notes* block two specific communities. Chilling to would-be pirates everywhere.
The lemmy code is free as in beer and free as in freedom, so you don’t need to give any info to use it yourself.
I watched it and it’s intriguing. The characters have similar roles to the real show and speak in similar ways. The problem is that the “writer” has no point of view and therefore the satire was completely missing.
Way overdue feature. I agree, perfect for locating bundle pieces as those quickly fall off the recent list.
I’m more certain about the first search part.
It took me a distressing amount of time to locate a swimwear brand that even makes a two to four inch inseam swim trunk. It’s Sauvage Swimwear, btw. Pricy, but if you’re like me and buy one pair every decade it’s worth it.
People look down on dress sneakers (dress shoes that have comfortable soles) but as long as they are fully brown or black, 90% of people would never notice them.
The first time anybody on your instance searches for a separate lemmy community, your Lemmy instance reaches out for the other community and learns that it exists. After that point it shows up in searches and after one person subscribes it appears in your instance’s All feed.
I can only imagine what it’s like to be on meds that affect your quality of life negatively both on and off the medication. I hope you consult your doctor before making drastic changes. Perhaps there is a dosage which provides a middle ground.
Losing brain matter sounds scary at face value, but perhaps a doctor could explain whether it applies in every case and whether it is actually a big deal.
Full disclosure, I lost a cousin to paranoid schizophrenia after he moved away and got off his meds, so I am biased.
Yeah, it’s best to confirm that someone somewhere has rooted a phone before you buy it for that purpose. Motorola typically allows it but there may be exceptions.
Bring back cloaks.
It’s really hard to know if any particular animal feels pain. There are also hundreds of kinds of jellyfish with a variety of levels of intelligence. Some vegans would tell you that just because the nature of their intelligence is alien to us doesn’t mean it’s less valuable. Personally I find it difficult to empathize with any creature that lacks a brain, especially plants.
Kind of unrelated but squids are often extremely intelligent, and are definitely not vegan in my book.
Klipsch has been a consistently good brand for a long time. I checked on ebay and there’s some great ones for $200 to $300. Only 2.0 setups for that price, though.
You will need an amp for those unless it’s got a built-in amp (some models have that).
