ArcaneSlime, in What do you think happened to the hikers in the Dyatlov Pass Incident?

It was a yeti. Could have even been Mugato.

I love the yeti theory. It’s so absurd

bpm, in Lighthearted, upbeat shows for adults?

“Miracle Workers” hasn’t been mentioned yet, it has a similar vibe, romantic comedy, some mild philosophy, very upbeat. Each season is a different storyline with (almost) the same cast, so if the first season doesn’t grab you try the next. The creator had an earlier show “Man Seeking Woman” as well, that’s fun too.

weariedfae, in What do you think happened to the hikers in the Dyatlov Pass Incident?

Y’all, they famously used shit they learned from making the movie Frozen and pretty much modeled it exactly. This isn’t a mystery anymore.

I_Fart_Glitter,

I like to think that you were just too excited to share this information to use commas, or take a breath.

PhlubbaDubba, in What are your thoughts on people being doxxed for ripping down missing israeli posters?

Doxxing someone for doing something that’ll make a lot of people angry is a dangerous game and should not be done unless you’re 100% sure you’d be ok with their blood being on your hands for exposing them to their would be attackers.

That said, poster rippers are mad about the right thing but at the wrong people. Those hostages are victims just as much as the people stuck in Gaza between the leviathans of Bibi and Hamas.

Rhynoplaz, in Circumcised men, how do you feel about your parents having mutilated your penis without your consent?

I don’t really mind.

ktr41n, in What MMOs are you all playing?

I recently got the urge to play WoW again, so I figured I’d cash in on the ‘free play til level 20’ thing and play on a Classic server. Except those are pay only. Decided I’d try retail since it was free and quit within an hour. I’ve been really loving Turtle WoW, however.

CraigeryTheKid,

Oh man I just discovered and joined turtle yesterday! Haven’t had a chance to play, but did confirm it ran without any additional setup on PopOS.

ktr41n,

Awesome! All the advice I saw on the net was to try and run it via Steam (which ended up causing weird graphical glitches) but it ran great for me with just regular wine.

Already found a fun guild while I was running WC…let me know if you’re looking for one!

lntl, in Where on the globe would you best be able to sail a very large ship without being detected?
@lntl@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Most of the ocean you won’t be detected in. There’s just nobody looking for anyone out there. So stay away from eezs and littoral zones and you ll be alone in no time.

Thanks! Haven’t heard of those. I’ll look em up!

Bitrot, in What's an alternative to Spotify that doesn't play you the same fucking songs over and over?
@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Pandora sort of has some of that but not so far in depth. You can customize with crowd favorite songs or hits or deep cuts or discovery. Their library is much smaller though, and you’re stuck in a genre based on the station for the most part.

Redditgee, (edited )

This is kinda how I operate. Just listen to pandora while I’m doing other tasks and see if new songs grow on me, then every few weeks, I put all my thumbed up songs on spotify playlists.

Thank you. I didn’t know about the Automix setting, and it’s enabled by default

andthenthreemore, in Why don't public restroom stalls have OPEN/OCCUPIED indicators like porta potties do?

They do.

berg, in What's an alternative to Spotify that doesn't play you the same fucking songs over and over?

This wasn’t what you asked for, but I have to add it in here: I switched to YouTube music because I was told the shuffle actually was random there. From my experience the past couple of months it seems to be the case, at the very least it’s better. But discovering new music (without putting in much effort) has been harder. Their playlist sorting is non-existent (you’re stuck with alphabetic order, no folders). And for some idiotic reason the playlists are shared with YouTube… Everything with it, except for its working shuffle, is horrendous.

How the fuck can Spotify just not have a true fucking random shuffle, it’s so annoying! It does everything else fairly well, but I’m not switching back to starting a playlist of 8+ hrs and getting a recognizable pattern depending on what I skip and don’t. Or whatever goddamn algorithm they think is better than /dev/urandom.

This gave me hope for a while, but I’ve now given up: community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/…/103#comment…

theherk,

If you want to discover new music, use “Start Radio” in lieu of shuffle.

shork,

I actually looked for that after you mentioned it on the Spotify app but couldn’t find it. Mind saying where it is? Or you’re referencing the outside shuffle website.

theherk,

Sorry I was unclear. I meant in YouTube Music. It has a Start Radio option which is suitable for discovery.

berg,

Yes, I’m aware of the radio ability. I’m not using shuffle to discover new music. I’m using it to play random songs from a large playlist I have.

sir_pronoun,

Thanks, maybe I should really Check that and Apple music out… still frustrating, as no option seems to be great. How can that be, after so many years of music services? What are all those developers doing? Are they stuck in scrum meeting timeloops?

oshitwaddup,
@oshitwaddup@lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz avatar

spotifyshuffler.com this is what I use. To shuffle liked songs, use the desktop app, go to liked songs, ctrl-a, right click, add to new playlist. Then that playlist can be shuffled with that tool and you play it in spotify with shuffle turned off (since the song order is already random). I’ve heard a lot of songs I haven’t heard in forever so it’s super nice

Virock,

I use Virtual Shuffle. It forces Spotify to play truly random tracks. https://shuffle.virock.org

thorbot, in What's an alternative to Spotify that doesn't play you the same fucking songs over and over?

I’m ready for downvotes but I use Apple Music and it plays me new music all the time. And if it repeats a song I just say suggest less and it goes away. I play my station and it’s a nice mix of music I like and new stuff.

emmanuel_car,

Agreed, my new music mix is usually pretty good too.

SamsonSeinfelder,

And it is free to stream! (2015) And it is only 2.99 $ (2018) And it’s only 4.99! (2020) And it’s only 10.99! (2023)

We went from free to 132$ in 8 years for (check notes) listening to the radio.

Is everyone cool with paying 20$ a month in 2028?

rusticus,

I am when Apple Music pays the artists 3x what Spotify does per stream. At least my money is going to the content creators, not some dickhead Spotify exec.

TheDarkKnight,

The service has improved every time though in Apple’s defense…and if there’s one company I actually trust to improve on its services it is Apple (not a fanboy, they have their own issues, just delivering quality consistently isn’t one of them).

lol3droflxp,
@lol3droflxp@kbin.social avatar

I think most people use it in bundles with other Apple subscriptions like iCloud and TV

SamsonSeinfelder,

They have all gone up in price:

The most marked increase is in the overall Apple One bundle. Its lowest, or individual tier, used to cost $16.95 per month but as of now, it is $19.95 per month.

Similarly, the Family Apple One tier has risen from $22.95/month to $25.95/month. And the Premier tier is now up from $32.95 to $37.95.

The price rise for Apple One comes at the same time as increases for many of its major constituent services.

Apple TV+ was $6.99/month, now $9.99 Apple News+ was $9.99/month, now $12.99 Apple Arcade was $4.99/month, now $6.99

lol3droflxp,
@lol3droflxp@kbin.social avatar

We’ll have to see how long subscription services will be able to raise prices. I hope that there will be some disruption soon.

lol3droflxp,
@lol3droflxp@kbin.social avatar

I’m using Appel music as well and I think it’s great for the most part. It sometimes has a weird bug where it won’t play downloaded music unless you have internet though.

Holyhandgrenade,
@Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world avatar

Spotify has that bug too, and it’s infuriating. Whenever I’m on a plane or something I have to put Spotify in “offline mode”, otherwise it just refuses to play all the music I’ve downloaded.

lol3droflxp,
@lol3droflxp@kbin.social avatar

That makes it even weirder. Probably some DRM thing.

LogicialSlip,

I’ll second Apple Music!

@willya@lemmyf.uk avatar

The discovery radio works really well too as long as you’ve been liking and disliking things.

Matt,

Even as a primarily Android user, I agree. I have tried most music streaming services at this point and Apple Music has been the best for helping me discover music. Most others play it too safe with the algorithm and only play music I already like.

Another plus is Apple Music is one of the last remaining music platforms that is not trying to shove podcasts down my throat.

technicalogical, (edited )

Most others play it too safe with the algorithm and only play music I already like.

I’m pretty sure it’s not the algorithm but rather some agreed upon rates for streaming. The more they stream the same stuff, the less they pay per stream. Same shit that killed radio.

sir_pronoun,

Thanks, I think I will try it for a bit. Other people recommended YouTube music, I’m a bit torn between those rn

Flaky,
@Flaky@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

I know that feeling. I’m torn between Apple Music and Spotify myself. Spotify is just that much more convenient for me but at the same time, so is Apple Music…

Resol,
@Resol@lemmy.world avatar

It’s also got actual radio stations. This is how I found out about Studio Brussel.

fritata_fritato, in Where on the globe would you best be able to sail a very large ship without being detected?

Anywhere on this map that isn’t full of boats. South Indian Ocean woukd be my guess: https://lemmy.nz/pictrs/image/1437754f-8f6c-4584-92e2-f1f456c4b1ca.jpeg

BroBot9000,
@BroBot9000@lemmy.world avatar

Oh wow! Didn’t know that existed. Thanks for sharing.

South Indian Ocean has been mentioned a few times now. 🤔

bitsplease,

Might also want to prioritize areas of low military significance - even if there are no commercial ships, you don’t want areas where spy satellites are likely to be looking around for unknown vessels

BroBot9000,
@BroBot9000@lemmy.world avatar

Good point! Will definitely have to look those up.

treadful, in Where on the globe would you best be able to sail a very large ship without being detected?
@treadful@lemmy.zip avatar

Thought this was a play on that “sovereign AI ship” article from earlier.

BroBot9000,
@BroBot9000@lemmy.world avatar

Do you have a link to that?

Been working on this idea for a while now and am starting to make the assets in blender.

Not quite what I’m thinking with my game but that certainly gives me some inspiration.

Thanks!

Do keep us updated!

BroBot9000,
@BroBot9000@lemmy.world avatar

Oh certainly! Really appreciate all the help!

I might have a small post about the game on mastodon but I don’t want to give away too much here 😏🤫
