Foobar2000, which is a Windows application but available as a snap using wine.

I really want to use DeaDBeeF because it is Linux native and has similar customization features (I like big album art, for example), but sadly its library management leaves a lot to be desired compared to Foobar’s. I don’t want to have to generate a playlist every time I want to listen to an album, nor do I want to have to clear that playlist when I’m done.

I haven’t found any other player with even remotely similar customization available.

Because MBA- and CEO-brains say that raking in money hand over fist doesn’t matter unless you can rake in consistently more and more money hand over fist. What normal people see as stable profits, they see as underperforming versus the bigger profits they see only in their head.

My gaming PC sits on the other side of the wall of my living room. I’ve got HDMI and USB going right through the wall. Wireless keyboard and mouse on the coffee table. It’s worked great for years, and for couch gaming I generally use a Steam Controller or DS4 in Bluetooth mode.

My living room TV is smart but I don’t use any of those features and keep it disconnected from a network.

Ha, I mean, yeah. What other reason would someone want Steamboat Willie?

I legit hope there is one for artistic purposes. I just think the majority will not be for artistic purposes.

Quite honestly: nothing. Some folks might deliberately use Steamboat Willie in some content because they can, and Disney will likely try and attack some of those people in court based on trademark law if applicable.

But I don’t really see a lot of actual utility in the Steamboat Willie character, outside of Disney itself. Any use of it is ultimately just referring to the “I can do this now” aspect of having just entered public domain, which frankly isn’t that interesting.

Very interesting. My rig is still on Pop mostly because I’ve just never had issues with it. I use the Liquorix kernel for a little added spice.

On my laptop I’ve been playing with NixOS lately (used to run Arch btw). I love it so far, but haven’t explored it for gaming.

Ugh, fine, have an upvote.

I love this. Anything that keeps me in the terminal and out of the browser is a blessing from Tux himself.

I haven’t figured out distribution yet but you can bet I’ll be sharing with the community here (even if only for discussion).

Some of my favorite edits are actually in discussions between Kirk, Spock, and Bones. In one scene Bones has weird jokes that don’t really fit the tone of Spock’s exposition. It was a challenge to get around them, but I think I did it quite successfully, and it adds some needed gravitas to those portions.

Anyway, yes – it’ll be available somehow.

The bottom frame of the meme is from STV, and the whole thing is based on STV’s “what does god need with a starship?”.

Related: I just spent 2 weeks doing a fanedit of STV. I will die on the hill that the plot is good if you can get around most of the silly humor of Shatner (which obviously I removed), as well as most of the weird shit between Scotty and Uhura.

At the core, it is a sweeping critique of religion and charlatanism. Larry Luckenbill as Sybok is one of the great performances in all of Trekdom.

Yes, it works this way. An additional driver is not needed for AMD.

circuitfarmer,
@circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Others have said this, but just adding to the pile: I had a system running Pop and a GTX 970. I removed the 970 and installed an RX 6600 XT and had absolutely no issues (and it was the nvidia version of Pop – I simply removed the nvidia shit at a later time).

circuitfarmer, (edited )
@circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

It shouldn’t be clear as mud. The answer is: it will work out of the box. Just try it.

As I said in another comment, I had a system running nvidia and Pop. AMD card worked with no issues and no additional software installed. I removed the nvidia stuff some months later. It doesn’t affect anything in the meantime.

I’ve heard an argument that a reason why Disney has pushed Steamboat Willie lately (new intro for Disney Animation films, and a lot of merch) is because copyright law works differently from trademark law. They can still claim a trademark even if the copyrighted work is in public domain. I’m not a lawyer, but if that’s not all BS, I don’t think we have to worry about anything like this anytime soon.

At the very beginning I thought it was James May and was surprised he had a beard. But then when he started moving so fast, I realized it wasn’t him.

In-progress COSMIC apps: terminal, file manager, text editor, and settings (fosstodon.org)

COSMIC is a Wayland desktop environment for Linux that is written in Rust with Smithay and Iced. COSMIC applications are developed with the libcosmic platform toolkit, which is based on iced. They are cross-platform and supported on Windows, Mac, and Redox OS in addition to Linux....

I love that it isn’t all soft corners everywhere, but the pill-shaped buttons and selections seem out of place. I hope they can be made more square.

I had a similar conundrum: what to use on a Thinkpad X60s, which is a Core Duo machine. I tried Arch 32, but after trying Debian, I stuck with the latter.

I usually only use it as a dumb terminal via SSH, but Debian was just sort of… easier.

I’ve been impressed with Budgie, especially on older hardware, as an alternative to Gnome. Hoping things keep going well.
