I use Exaile. It has queue(s) that you add tracks to, and the library search is outstanding. I have some albums with various artists, and Exaile can group the library by the album artist.

I used to have the files on my NAS, and “syncing” them via smb. Then I reinstalled my NAS, and for some reason decided to not install smb. I was tinkering with the idea of doing a small http server/client thing instead. But to be frank, my library never changes any longer. I just copy it from the NAS once, and that’s it.

I used a player called Listen back in the days. I loved that one so much.

I realize that it was dumb of me not giving more context. Sorry about that.

They talk about one of his posts on X, where he shares his appreciation for an interview between Tucker Carlson and Darryl Cooper.

Cooper claimed in the interview that the Nazis did not mean to murder so many people when they carried out the Holocaust and killed 6 million Jews during the second world war. Instead, Cooper remarked, Adolf Hitler’s Nazi regime simply was not equipped to care for them – and the podcaster blamed the British prime minister Winston Churchill for “that war becoming what it did”.

And then:

The billionaire announced in August that he was supporting Donald Trump as the Republican nominee seeks a second presidency in November’s election. Kamala Harris, the Democratic vice-president, is also running in the election.

Hey, read all the way to the end, they make a really good point. I could’ve copied and pasted it here as a quote, but I would feel bad copying half of the article. It’s not long

I did! I feel proud of myself. Thank you for asking

This is me, right this moment. About to put the phone away. Any moment now. I promise.

First time hearing about Briar. So it’s like Signal but can also be used via Bluetooth if close enough?

TIL that Mono is a Microsoft project. I always thought it was an open source reverse engineered .NET

I miss old Opera. I want it back

I acknowledge that there are probably many books that are longer than the longest book I know of 😄

Thank you for the link!

My first thought was to pick the longest book I know of, which is Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality by Eliezer Yudkowsky. I think the PDF version is 2000 pages. Not really sure I want to reread it, though. So maybe the book I’ve reread the most times, which would be 11/22/63 by Stephen King. What a fantastic book.

Coming back half a year later to see this comment. Thank you for thank link. I would love to help out!

I do use EWW from time to time

There’s also LiteIDE

I think you are correct about the mental health issues. It scares me that the health care is private, and not all can afford it

It brings me joy that a bunch of my pixels is me trying to create a border between the flags, and someone else going “oh no, you don’t”. I had to give up, of course. Had a great time

Tumbleweed user here. I have no idea how to compile additional kernel modules. I do keep track of what’s changed on every update, though, but that’s because I find it exciting. Seeing that update icon in the morning makes me happy. I am sure you don’t need to care as much about it as I do. You can upgrade every now and then without looking too close, and be very happy

Aha, I see, thank you

+1 for LXQt. But what do you mean XFCE is not ready? Never used MATE, so I cannot tell, but XFCE seemed solid when I used it

I’m still trying out different editors from time to time. I always feel like they are lacking in some way in comparison to Emacs. Like, when there’s no key binding to focus the list of references, or one cannot navigate to the beginning of a block, or one cannot navigate by subword. Let’s not forget sexp. Cannot live without it. Or marks, for that matter. Or proper clipboard history that is properly searchable. It’s like the developers has not seen the light yet. Most editors are very mouse driven, and maybe does not focus enough on actual code navigation. I’m biased of course. Though, Helix seems cool.

Side note: Even though I use Emacs, I have nothing against Vim. Heck, I even use it every now and then.

Table locks can be a real pain. You know you need to do the change, but the system is constantly running queries towards it. Now days it’s a bit easier with algorithm=inplace and lock=none, but in the good old days you were on your own. Your only friend was luck. Large migrations like that still gives me shivers
