NeoNachtwaechter,

Bullshit Logic. We also don’t have 1000 Da Vincis, 10.000 Jesuses and 100.000 Moseses.

JungleJim,

Now imagining a Pharaoh with an unstoppable army of Mosi.

I have tried a vast majority of them and there were many I like some features of, but they end up falling to the way side. I always go back to using, “Connect” For Lemmy. Has every thing I want.

GlenRambo,

Does connect have mark read on scroll? Seems that’s missing from boost. :(

Yes, it does.

GlenRambo,

Noticed it’s not FOSS :(

The dev does plan to open source it I believe.

TwoBeeSan,

Agreed love connect. I can block both communities and specific people.

Getting rid of all the niche porn and junk articles from certain bots improved user experience a great deal.

Layout is reminiscent to reddit is fun which was my personal fave application. RIP.

SocialMediaRefugee, in What is Something Scientific that you just don't believe in at all?

The singularity that supposedly lies inside black holes is more likely just a result of a huge gap in our understanding and a dead end in general relativity.

KnowledgeableNip,

Fuzzball black hole gang rise up

haven’t seen any comments mentioning connect yet, so that would be my recommendation. by far the most fully featured and smooth lemmy app imo and its my favorite. I’ve used most other apps but I always come back to connect because of all the different ways I can customize it and all the settings I can change that I simply don’t see in a lot of other apps.

PRUSSIA_x86, in What is an obscure piece of media or videogame that you think nobody else here has heard of?

I have never met anybody else who played the Wall-E game for Wii.

azulavoir, in What is an obscure piece of media or videogame that you think nobody else here has heard of?

Moraff’s Escapade for early Windows, or more specifically, the glitch levels in it.

If you spam the “next level” cheat button (which if I remember correctly is F8) enough times you’ll go past the levels that were intentionally designed and start exploring the game’s RAM.

mack7400,

I don’t remember that one, but I do remember having a few “Moraffware” shareware titles.

frunch,

Interesting!! I’ll have to check that one out. I was a big fan of Moraff’s World and i played a lot of Steve Moraff’s other shareware games back in the day. Never heard of that one though!

Meuzzin, in Who in your opinion is the modern day equivalent to Mozart?

Dwayne Rudolph Goettel (Skinny Puppy) Peter Christopherson (Psychic TV, Coil, Throbbing Gristle)

If we change this question to generational, instead of “modern times”, those two would fit into Gen X.

Richard Wright (Pink Floyd) Ray Manzarek (Doors) Elton John

For the “Boomers”.

Tori Amos Trent Reznor Atticus Ross

For the Millenials.

I’m sure there’s many more from those 3 generations. But they have my vote.

I would say David Gilmour. Pink Floyd music comes to mind for having some pretty symphonic sounds.

No_Ones_Slick_Like_Gaston, in Who in your opinion is the modern day equivalent to Mozart?

Freddy Mercury and David Bowie are up there in that podium.

You ever seen that post about how classical music is closest to metal? Well Kerry King is our modern day Mozart.

pete_the_cat,

\M/

Dude can definitely shred and definitely plays some complex licks. Dimebag and Randy Rhodes are definitely up there too, but then again, so are many heavy metal guitarists.

I’m a shitty guitarist and whenever I just sit back and listen to the guitar tracks on most heavy metal albums I’m always amazed by the complexity, speed, precision and just overall sound of the tracks, especially when it comes to the solos.

farcaster, (edited )

Kerry is a great player, but I think the shredder who embodied the spirit and the form of Mozart was Alexi Laiho.

His solos were a such distinct take on the neoclassical sound

I’m using connect and really like it!

Me too!

Ramin Djawadi no contest.

qantravon, in best app for lemmy?

Since I haven’t seen it mentioned yet, I’ve been using Liftoff for a while now, and I’ve found it to be a fairly good experience. My main annoyance is that, if I open a notification of a reply to a comment, the process to see the original context for the reply is…convoluted, to say the least. Other than that, great app.

Redditgee,

Liftoff is dead, I believe.

criticon,

Liftoff has not been updated in a while and I think it’ll have issues with v0.19 (not exactly sure, read it in another thread)

I experimented with boost, sync and Voyager and I liked Voyager the most

Waterproof, in Is jornaldund a pedo?
@Waterproof@lemmy.today avatar

Yes

Drusas, in What is an obscure piece of media or videogame that you think nobody else here has heard of?

The movie Tampopo, about ramen. Great film.

Toughlovekb,

I love this movie

The restaurant in London wagamama was inspired by this movie and I used to work their when living in London in the late 90s

Drusas,

That sounds like it would be a great experience.

I think everyone should at least watch that scene where the guy first shows you how to eat ramen. First you touch everything, just so....
