I don’t get why they didn’t just reduce the volume of the audio file? Why a) replace it wit a terrible substitute, then b) when everyone complains just reduce the radius of the noise.

The following is just my own assumptions, take with a grain of salt.

Phones are often taken out to perform a quick task, then stashed back in a pocket/bag many times a day. As such, being able to unlock a phone quickly is a rather useful feature.

On the other hand, laptops are usually taken out to be used for larger tasks, and as such, do not need to be unlocked as often.

Fingerprint scanners add less value to a laptop than they do a phone.

My dad got me a Linux laptop as a kid (I was 10 I think?), and I am so grateful that he did.

To be fair, I already had a huge passion for computing, and it meant that I would constantly toy around with Linux, breaking things and learning how to fix them.

I have been a Linux user ever since, and I feel have learnt so much about computing because of it.

(I started on Ubuntu 12.04, with the glorious Unity desktop)

Freeloaders, like large corporations taking open source and then not giving back, is yet another symptom of a system that rewards extraction and self interest.

FOSS exists despite capitalism. The fact that people are willing to work on something out of their own passion, or sense of community, directly contradicts the fundamental assertion of capitalism.

Humans are not inherently greedy.

Explain open source, free software, linux community, lemmy / the fediverse, and many many other things not formed around profit, largely maintained by people in their free time motivated by community over profit.

People aren’t inherently greedy. People are born into a system that rewards greed, and punishes altruism. There have been many different societies with many different political and economic systems, and capitalism is a fairly new one all things considered.

Rational self interest is irrational. If only a few can succeed, chances are you fail. If everyone only looks out for themselves, then everyone fails. Humanity’s biggest strength — what set us apart from many other animals — is our ability to work together and look out for each other.

Capitalism doesn’t work, and is destroying the Earth.

Honestly, I think some of his greatest content comes about when he is procrastinating. I mean, if he didn’t procrastinate in S9, we wouldn’t have gotten him and Scar blowing up Doc’s tunnel bore, leading to the perimiter war.

Grian seems like the kind of person who is always coming up with new, grand ideas. I think thats one of the reasons he has done so well in the MCYT space.

And personally, I think it’s fine he doesn’t finish some of his projects. To me, Hermitcraft isn’t just about the projects; the main draw for me is the interactions and collaborations that come from the server.

I am really glad that the Hermits are catching on to the fact that many people are here to see them, not the giant bases they build.

I know that feeling of being super inspired to make something big, something grand and ambitious, and then to lose interest once the exciting parts have been done.

Also, would not be surprised if Grian has ADHD or something.

Basically, I think his episodes are great regardless of how much “progress” he makes, and while I think he is working on improving his scoping, he is still learning like everyone else, and I think S10 has been a great step in the right direction.

 

So cool that we can now add custom patterns.

Pattern suggestions, or even contributions, are greatly appreciated!

I know the first thing everyone will say is to use an AMD GPU. Agreed, sounds good (NVIDIA is sucky on my current machine). I have no clue which ones to start looking in to however.

I'm someone that is pretty good with the software side of computing, but not so much with the hardware side. I can comfortably construct a computer, just don't know much about what the best components to buy are. Any hardware suggestions / recommendations (for any component) are greatly appreciated (reasons for the suggestion is an optional bonus I would appreciate).

As for budget, I probably don't wanna spend much over $2.5K USD. $1K to 2K is probably about my preferred budget.

Thanks in advance to anyone that decides to help out.

(For anyone asking what I'll likely run on it: Arch Linux)

I use KDE Plasma, and much prefer the KDE color picker over the GTK one that Firefox uses, with input type=color.

I know that I can set GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 to make Firefox use the native file picker, is there a way to make it use the native color picker as well?

I know there probably isn't a way, but I figured it's worth a shot asking.

The first two episodes of the new Fionna and Cake show just dropped, and I really enjoyed it! Go watch it if you haven't already!

Below are my thoughts on the two episodes. Please watch before hand, spoilers below!

Spoilers for both Episode 1 and 2

Overall thoughts

Honestly, this show exceeded my expectations. I love that it has taken on a more mature style; Adventure Time really does grow up with it's fans. I don't think I have a single gripe, both episodes were just such a great time.

The intro sequence for the show is so cool. I love the glitch effects!

Episode 1

I loved seeing all the humanised versions of the Fionna and Cake characters; it was super fun trying to spot and recognise the different counterparts. I loved Cake POV, super fun.

DONALD GLOVER IS BACK AS MARSHALL LEE WOOOO! I hope to see some Marshall Lee + Prince Gumball action later on.

The Betty statue in the park was interesting. Is the dimension we saw a wish dimension? We see that Simon accidentally summons Cake into Ooo, did he create that dimension with his ritual? Or did it exist beforehand?

LSP was great. Just as LSP as ever. Never change LSP.

Episode 2

Firstly, I just wanna say: poor Simon. Jeez.

Why did he take a job living in a museum? I get he's a nerd but like damn, seems like a tough life.

I am hoping he will eventually sit down and tell a story for the little Fionna and Cake fan, seems like something the both of them need.

I am loving seeing how the humans have set up in Ooo. I hope we get to explore more of their city.

Seeing Simon and Finn finally just hang out together is so great. Looking forward to more Simon + Finn action going forwards.

Unfortunately, it seems Jake is be dead by this point. I wonder how the shot from the trailer works then; might be another universe.

Hoping we get to see some Huntress Wizard + Finn in a future episode.

 

Personally I’m a fan of KDE Plasma.

 

I know they post a lot of memes, and they might not be to everyone's tastes, but I feel like some people's reactions to PugJesus have been quite horrible really, and I expect better of this community.

And I am not meaning the other post requesting they post less, rather, I mean the comments I have seen left by various people saying some rather mean things about PugJesus.

PugJesus, thank you for providing us with memes, and content, and don't let the haters get to you.
