This guy DRINKS

Don’t feed the troll. It won’t come back, it’s too expensive.

It’s a record lable label :)

I’ve probably seen weirder, but this one was pretty funny:
I rode my bike along a huge river in a big city in Germany. It was already dark and my light was broken. In front of me I saw something blinking brightly coming at me. As it came closer I realized it was a guy on a bike that had lots of lights and reflectors attached to both the bike and the guy. He wore a light on his helmet, on his arms and his thigh. As he passed by me he looked at me super grumpy and said:
“How about some light?!”

It’s a little boring but not bad news. Why the hate?!

Wait, the guy is heavy! Pretty sure it’s saturated fatty acid and cholesterol clocking his arteries, not Hollywood.

I don’t think so, this is rather complex video editing software and I never heard about anyone running it in a VM. Maybe I’ll give it a try someday.

Exactly the same setup and experience here. Work forces me to use an inferior application in windows instead of a more powerful option in Linux and it boils my blood.

So here I go again, searching the web to find out what jc141 is. I go to Reddit, huge wall of text that says stuff like “Peazip is not recommended to extract zpaq”. So I go to GitHub, it links to GitLab, which tells me about Arch: stable, Distrobox, Debian: unstable. 10 minutes have passed and I still don’t know what jc141 is. This gives me PTSD, it’s Linux at it’s worst.

This may not be the right place for a superficial rant, but: I never figured Lutris out. Installed it a couple of times in the past years and rage-deleted it after a week of fiddeling because NOTHING WORKED. Not GZDoom, no emulator, no windows game let alone the RDR2 repack. I don’t think I’m that dumb, but seriously, I need help. I love the idea of a gaming platform on Linux, but the time I already sank into this piece of software without accomplishing anything is depressing!

But storage is getting cheaper and cheaper as we move further into renewables. The storage problem is not unfixable, it’s being solved just like the gas station and road paving problem was solved during the automobile revolution. The beginning of something is always messy, problems and mistakes happen. But we are a clever species and we are working on it. Fuck these men who want to keep burning our planet, I won’t be discouraged.

The fossil industry, which earns 1 billion dollars a day since the 1970s, won’t go down without a fight. They are very powerful, able to start wars and overthrow governments. These fossil destroyers know they are dying, but they will fight back to make money as long as possible. The best we can do is drain their business model by going renewable, and fast. Nuclear is not an option anymore, they know that as well, it’s already way too expensive. But they use it anyway to buy some time. Making more money while we are debating instead of building renewables and batteries like our lives depend on it.
I always imagine Henry Ford after building his first cars. People would laugh at him: “And how do we fuel these?! You want to pave every road and build a web of gas stations all over or country? You are insane!”

Again: This is just the beginning! We’re like five years into at the beginning of an energy revolution and you are drumming against it because you’re “not convinced”, rooting for stuff we already discarded because it’s uncontrollable and will poison our planet for centuries. Get out of the way, boomer!

Germany has over 400 MW of solar-plus-storage projects under development, with notable installations like a 100 MW/200 MWh battery system in Bavaria. This is way more than even the green minister of economic affairs set as a goal for 2045. California leads globally with 6,600 MW of battery storage already operational and an additional 1,900 MW expected by year-end, totaling 8,500 MW. By 2045, California aims to expand its capacity to 52,000 MW. Australia is also scaling rapidly, with around 9 GW of utility-scale battery projects underway or completed. Soon EV batteries get to feed energy back into the grid, we’re becoming one huge decentralized batterie mosaic. It’s gonna be beautiful!

Don’t feed the troll! We’re making progress fast. ☀️

Wow, I installed it today and it’s perfect for me! I tried Deadbeef and wanted to like it, but it couldn’t replace Foobar. Fooyin can, thanks for the recommendation.

Another problem arises when you’re generation 63.688 after today and still have to keep maintaining deadly waste from nations that don’t exist anymore, because they produced “cheap” and “clean” energy for a couple of decades.
Come on, Jesus died like 2000 years ago, this stuff will haunt us for centuries. Arguing in favor of something this unpredictable is just selfish, stupid and shortsighted.

. Don’t feed the troll 💩

Foobar! I tweaked it for years to be as simple yet powerful as possible. It counted plays, the date when songs were added and last played, which is lost now. It had a beautiful waveform-view I miss every day. And it converted and renamed files exactly as I told it to. I found some workarounds, but nothing comes close. Rhythmbox is good but misses the waveform view. Other applications are beautiful but offer too much bells and whistles, I like it simple. Feel free to recommend stuff!

I was a windows fanboy for more than 20 years. Going back every couple of months feels strange. Windows has changed, feels intrusive and uncandid to me. Linux is still new and sometimes a little strange to me, I miss my perfectly customized music player but apart from that, it’s so much fun to use. I can’t ever go back. Looking at Windows-user struggling makes me unconformable because i know they will never experienced how using a free OS feels like. They are so used to smartphones and computers shoving stuff down their throats instead of being the best tool you can come up with.

I was one of the commenters but I’m of no help. It just worked. I use Linux Mint, it has Nvidia-support out of the box. I installed sunshine and, well, used it. No extra settings, no tinkering.
I love Mint, btw. I don’t see how this is a beginners OS. Just because everything is easy and just works? I have no intentions to distro hop because I don’t see anything I could gain from changing to a different Linux version.
