I love KDE because I can customize it to do crazy shit but that also means it gets buggy at times. If I want something that looks nice out of the box and Just Works™ then I go with cinnamon. I really dislike GNOME, particularly the application icons. They look bad and I find it much more difficult to customize than cinnamon or KDE.

It's been a while since I've played super metroid, but I really liked it. The point of it isn't the plot, it's exploring strange new places and then coming back to them cleverly when you realize the new item you've unlocked will work on that mysterious closed door. If you're really not enjoying it, I suggest you just skip to fusion because super metroid isn't particularly plot heavy. I liked discovering all the secret areas and items in super, but to each their own.

So glad the instance is back up and running. Was a pleasant surprise today.

Oooooh that's really good

15 times. Not bad.

Rare Texas W, although I wonder how/if they're actually gonna enforce it.

As with most things, when big corporations take over it becomes bad. Definitely agree with you that using it as your only way of getting info is bad, but it's not much different from relying on one influencer or podcaster for all your info other than it being more likely to be more well researched. I will say at least with my local one it's a pretty diverse method of entertainment. They've got all kinds of weird and quirky shows on.

Really depends on the station. Some of them (especially the bigger ones) will have ads quite frequently, but others will have a few every now and then and there are some that don't have any at all.

Thanks. Got mine pretty recently and I've been enjoying it a lot. It's nice when you want background noise but don't wanna curate a playlist on a streaming platform. I have ADHD so I need some kind of background noise to be able to focus on most things. All I have to do is turn it on, sweet deal.

Over all a nice little radio. Only thing I'm not a fan of is that it's only got a micro USB port for its power source. I don't like micro USB cuz it tends to break. Other than that, it's got decent sound quality and you can connect to it via Bluetooth and play music from it. It's tiny and compact.

That's so cool! I will definitely check it out.

Some stations are like that, but there's a lot of cool ones out there that play a variety of music and are not for profit so there aren't many ads. The smaller ones are usually better in that regard. Highly recommend checking out Radio Garden. It shows a bunch of stations that also stream from all over the world, cool stuff.

That's very unfortunate. You can always stream other stations in NC or around the world, though. I promise there are some really cool ones out there.

I'm involved with a radio station in my area and it's soooooo cool to sit in on shows. All of the stuff you hear is done by live humans. They go in and manually put CDs and curate the playlists and control the levels of everything. Sometimes they talk in between with some context for the song or random musings they have. Sometimes whoever is hosting will dedicate a particular song to somebody they know. It's so endearing and human. Occasionally they'll have a prerecorded show but most of them are live.

The cool thing is that most radio stations these days also stream on their websites, so if you haven't got any good local stations you can stream other small community ones. Radio garden is a cool website where you can stream stations online from around the world.

Yep, that is the model.

c/196 would probably appreciate this meme more

Crocs are usually more pointy looking and angular than gators. Crocs are also much more dangerous.
