Linux back at 4.04% on the Desktop. Windows went below 73%
  • I've seen a lot of people move to Mint or Pop_OS or Kubuntu. They're Debian based so updates are pretty stable.

    I personally ended up with EndeavourOS using the KDE desktop environment. I have a steam deck, so this felt very similar to me. This is Arch based so sometimes updates break things, but I've had more success here.

    Also remember that no distro is problem-free, but neither was Windows. The longer you commit, the easier it gets.

    EDIT: If you're hesitant to fully commit at first, I also recommend dual booting with Windows. Over time you'll use it less and less until one day you feel like reclaiming the disk space.

  • ANBERNIC Officially Reveals New RG40XX H After Recent Leaks | Retro Dodo
  • This is a tough sell. I just got the RG35XX H recently for <50 USD. Seeing all this is mostly the same besides a bigger screen and new shape, is it really worth a double in cost?

    Plus I assume the bigger screen would mean the device is bigger overall. To me, one of the key features of the 35XX H is it's pocketability.

  • Eat shit Spotify.
  • I'm not sure if the application is safe. It may be malicious. Proceed at your own risk.

    I saw a GitHub project called 163MusicLyrics that's sources the information from Chinese sources (NetEase and QQ).

    The entire software is in Chinese, but the results looked really accurate from the sandbox I ran. It's even actively developed with v6.2 releasing least week. But again, I don't know if it's safe.

    I'm not good at code but it looks like it's OSS, so you could verify the code yourself or reverse engineer something with the API calls they use?

    Let me know if you come across something though. I'm also looking for a way to get LRC files easily.

    EDIT: Also for self hosting, I use Jellyfin with Symfonium, and Tailscale. It works great for me and has been relatively low maintenance.

  • Uber says new B.C. rules will increase costs, Eby says companies can 'suck it up'
  • This was inevitable. Their business model required cutting necessary expenses to drive their prices below taxis, but that's not sustainable.

    Hopefully this encourages the use of biking, public transportation, or at the very least, transportation services that provide better employee benefits.

    Uber needs to remember that society functioned just fine before them. It can survive just fine without them.

  • Music - Self-Host - how to start / what's your stack?
  • I'll also add that if you're looking to replace the recommendation algorithm, you can use Last.FM, AOTY, RYM, or even Instagram (I follow a lot of artists and the recommended posts when I go to search something have actually been decent. really strange and perplexing)

    Also, if you find any CDs you don't care for anymore, see if you can donate them to your local library :)

  • Music - Self-Host - how to start / what's your stack?
  • So I recently terminated my Spotify subscription and moved my library to Jellyfin.

    For my phone client, I use Symfonium. There are other options available (even FOSS options if you prefer), but I liked Symfonium's UI the best. It also has a rolling offline cache setting that I find very useful. However, it does have a one time fee of 5 USD. But the client is completely up to your preference - no right choice.

    If you care about Last.FM scrobbling, use something like Pano Scrobbler on your phone.

    For desktop streaming, Jellyfin isn't required. Use which ever media player you like best.

    As for accessing your Jellyfin server outside your home network, Tailscale is an option. It was relatively easy to set up, even for someone who's dumb with networking.

  • Climate crisis with Poison Ivy
  • I felt they were using the fact that Batman is an orphan, and being a billionaire is an excuse to explain how he can fund his... hobby?

    But I could see the billionaire propaganda aspect as well. I guess it depends on the author's intent.

  • Why Furiosa’s CGI Looks More Fake Than Mad Max Fury Road
  • I think they criticise VFX because there's an end goal of being indistinguishable from reality.

    Commenting on story, execution, and uniqueness requires actual taste and a personal bias which may least to reduced views and interaction.

  • [Discussion thread] Furiosa, a Mad Max saga
  • I haven't seen fury road, but I liked this film a lot. The break up in parts and slower pacing was a great way to tell the story. I bought the ticket on a whim and I'm really happy I did.

    spoiler

    My score: 9/10

  • Windows 10 is EOL in October 2025
  • I'd recommend doing a dual boot sooner and slowly shifting your files & apps. It took me about 3 months to find a distro and desktop environment i like, get my apps or alternatives installed, and get used to it.

    If you wait until EOL, you may be overwhelmed and frustrated, increasing the likelihood of calling quits and accepting Windows 11.

    Alongside the usual questions, here are some optional discussion questions:

    • What is the most valuable item in your music collection?
    • Music aside, which idol do you think has the best acting skills?
    • What concerts have you attended (non kpop concerts too)?
