27, he/him. interested in all things tech, music production, and gaming. i write songs your girlfriend would probably listen to.

  • Which music streaming app should I use?

  • The reason why I can't recommend YouTube music is that it uses audio from videos instead of playing the studio versions of the tracks. The fact that it makes me listen to those silly audio parts in music videos while I'm trying to listen to a studio release is terrible in my opinion, and I couldn't figure out a way to hide those results from search entirely. Does anybody know if they've fixed this?

  • Stray is one of the best short games I've ever played.

  • I can second this. I had a really nice time playing Stray.

  • You got what you deserved.

  • A fellow alt texter!!! The blind community appreciates you. (I'm not blind, just an ally)

  • Lemmy active users grew by an astounding 1600% in June

  • Welcome and enjoy your stay! Feel free to DM for any questions about Lemmy or Federation in general!

  • In my opinion, having multiple accounts in different apps and instances is better than trying to combine them into the smallest amount of accounts

  • I mostly agree with this. Here's how I use the Fediverse:

    I have an account on every instance that I want to browse, while keeping my own personal instance up in the first tab. I browse multiple instances, and when it comes time to comment, I just add the post to my own instance and comment away.

    I use all the other accounts as lurker accounts. That way, my identity on Lemmy is consistent but I still get to browse anything I want without worrying about everything federating properly.

  • What headphones are you all using while gaming on Linux?

  • I have a pair of Senheiser HD6xx from Drop.com. It's basically a pair of HD600s with slightly cheaper plastic and bare bones packaging. They have the exact same drivers as the 600s. These cans have been famous for decades with good reason, as they give the perfect balance of low, mid, and high end.

    They're a bit pricey at around $230, and you'll also need a great amplifier to power it. You can always go with a decent $99 desktop amp or you can shell out $300 on a high quality DAC+AMP. I have the Audient ID14, and everything sounds FANTASTIC. I can turn up the music super loud and still have head room.

    TLDR; Drop.com Senheiser HD6xx with an Audient i14 to power them. Overkill for casual listening, perfect value for audiophiles.

  • ISP not offering port forwarding anymore

  • Just use a cloudflare tunnel. It's free and can be used on pretty much any network that sends and receives data.

  • On this day in 2007 the iPhone was released.

  • Refreshing sources will always be permanently engrained in my vision as if I was looking directly into the sun.

  • On this day in 2007 the iPhone was released.

  • The release of the iPhone and iPod touch was such a special time for me. The jailbreaking scene was just getting started and it started my life long fascination with tinkering with technology.

  • Is there a community for discussing Lemmy itself?

  • Are you guys tired of "Material You" design?

  • Yeah, I'm not going to say Google doesn't waste space. There's definitely a difference between stylistic padding, and literally not using a section of the screen for no reason.

  • Are you guys tired of "Material You" design?

  • As a UI/UX designer myself (hobbyist, to be clear), I really like it.

    There seems to be this notion in the homebrew/FOSS/Linux community that "wasted space" is always non-preferable. I can see this being true for some people, but I feel like a lot of people and band wagoning this opinion.

    It's pretty universally known and accepted in the design community that padding is extremely important when it comes to helping your brain read and separate content. And to be fair, most non-tech people prefer space and padding in their applications to make things easier to understand.

    I can be entirely off base here, but TLDR: I like padding and it's literally beneficial to helping your brain understand the layout of what you're looking at better.

  • Minecraft to Reddit: So Long, and Thanks for All the Feedback

  • This looks to be the beginning of a trend to pull out of Reddit, and I am excited to watch it crash and burn.

  • Shuntaro Furukawa: Switch Successor Will Utilise The 'Nintendo Account' System

  • All nintendo has to do is make a higher resolution OLED display, a bigger battery, and a modern day chip. Heck, they can even go Snapdragon.

  • What are some good uses we can do/make with ai and such?

  • I just posted about this today in another thread. The ability for AI to be able to describe photos for people who are visually impaired is a total game changer. Most visually impaired people rely on people posting AltText or photo descriptions to become involved, but as most of us already know, most people don't think twice about it, including myself. I'm definitely trying to be better.

  • Valve Contracts Another Prominent Open-Source Linux Graphics Driver Developer

  • Valve is truly one of the last respected game companies. Sure, they make a lot of money and take a 30% cut from developers on Steam, but because of how satisfied their users are, they keep coming back and keep buying more games, which is a win in the long term. Too many companies think short-term or quarterly while Valve seems to look at the big picture. I give a lot of credit to Gabe for not truly selling out at any point. And if it hasn't happened by this point, I don't see it happening in the future. It would have happened by now if so.

  • Twitter's new TikTok copycat is filled with animal cruelty videos. Elon calls content "Edgy"

  • I think you're overthinking this. Twitter used to be a place where I could keep up with my friends. Now, it's a place filled with many forms of hate. Because of this, I no longer wish to use it, so I left.

    I personally have no care in the world for what happens with Twitter. Why should I? It becomes overrun with bigots? So what?

    Remaining on a platform filled with hate is an indicator that you're ok with that. I am not, so I left. end of story.

  • are we going to have a Lemmy Party July 1st to welcome all the new users?

  • I suggest we create a list of who is bringing what to the party, that way we'll know who's bringing what. I'll start

    I will bring the f*ck /u/spez shot glasses!

  • Does anybody feel like the quality of reddit has already dropped massively?

  • Reddit? Never heard of it.

  • Technology Connections talks about a red fridge from Walmart for an hour

  • Love this channel, love that you guys over here love it as well. Thanks for being cool, beehaw.
