Out of curiosity, why do you use Ghostery rather than uBlock Origin? It was quite controversial back in the day, but seems to be open source and stuff now. I still don’t see any advantage over uBO, though, so I wonder what would move you to use it instead.

I thought Swift is currently Block-Chain based. Do you mean this Swift?

Terraria. Seriously. Do a blind play through without a wiki. Super duper fun. It can be short or hundreds of hours, depending on your style. Great for groups as well, as it requires a surprising amount of team work.

I think Terraria has a really good approach to this.

Your first playthrough is on “normal” mode. Boss fights aren’t about skill, you don’t have to be on your toes constantly, etc. — except, that doesn’t matter. Because your first playthrough is hopefully blind and without the wiki, meaning you’ll have really bad, inefficient gear, and most of the challenge will come from finding and understanding good gear and how the world works before you can even find and beat bosses. Normal mode on your first playthrough has its own kind of challenge.

After that you will know how to progress and want more challenge and excitement for your second playthrough. Enter “expert” mode. New loot, new super powerful cool accessories, everything is way harder, even basic mobs hit twice as hard. Now everything is about staying on your toes, showing your skills in boss fights, meticulously crafting plans — but you’re rewarded for it by a new experience and what feels like a new, more exciting Terraria. If you get tired of expert mode (I’m gonna say 200–300 hours of playtime later), there’s the ridiculous “hard” mode. And “hardcore.” Endless possibilities.

But everyone is given a chance with normal mode, which is really extremely easy. Everyone gets a chance to get to know the game. But you are rewarded with the full game, in a sense, for playing the proper difficulty.

Every politian should read this comment. I can’t believe the people who control our society are so tech-illiterate… see KOSA in the US :(

TLDR: digital audio player with 3.5 and 4.4 mm outputs, a Cirrus Logic CS43198 DAC, Bluetooth 5.3, and USB DAC functionality.

Pros:

• Linux based system
• physical volume wheel
• looks cute and well-made
• Bluetooth
• good DAC
• low THD+N: 0.0015%
• competitive price
• EQ, unclear if parametric EQ

Cons:

• Kickstarter
• only up-to 256 GB storage (my library is ≈ 550 GB)
• low-res Bluetooth, only SBC support
• mediocre op-amp, RT6863, only 61+61mW@32 Ohm, basically unusable for headphones
• there’s a lot of good competition, see Fiio’s Echo Mini, Echo Nano, Disk, Qudelix-5K.

The ionic 5 is really good, imho

It has the Gemini logo in the corner :(

Yep, in Berlin they’re fucking everywhere. There are also a lot American tourists/immigrants now who happily tip 20% or 25%, so it has slowly become more and more standard in the last 10 years. Kill me now…

Being I normal Lemmy user I automatically presumed the post was talking about raspberry pis. I was confused.

Fyi, Reaper and Bitwig both have excellent, native Linux support. If you’re willing to re-learn a DAW, both of those are great choices. Reaper is by far the best mixing & mastering DAW out there, IMHO. Bitwig is great for composition and has awesome, intuitive modulation features, as well as great stock plugins and MPE support.

This is also the case for the German version I player, funny.

his ability to hold a 3D image in his mind, tweak and rotate it, and then put it on paper, is something innate.

This is coincidentally a symptom of dyslexia, so you are right to think of it as something innate, unfortunately. It’s also why so many architects are dyslexic.

The thing about this that really makes me ashamed of the democratic establishment is the depiction of the girl on the right vs on the left. This post is literally trying to marginalize progressives. Just look at lemmy, half the progressives here are cishet conputer programmers and Linux nerds in their 40s. This post is trying to enforce a harmful stereotype to make progressives seem like a smaller, less influencial, more radicalized group. It’s already playing into bigotry: the progressive is shown as younger (ageism), with darker skin (racism), more “radical” views, as a drug addict., etc; enforcing the bias that progressives are somehow irresponsible young’uns with unrealistic world-views. Fuck this shit. Never thought I’d see something so obviously bigoted on Lemmy.

Happy cake day!

It’s more recent idealogy, namely postmodernism. They genuinely deny the existence of universals in all respects. But I am yet to see a legitimate (philosophical) argument supporting that 🤷 seems more like a pop culture thing than real philosophy.

Descartes wants a word…

This is an evil comment

The best for privacy are definitely mullvad and proton vpn. Nordvpn is the best for p2p/pirating (…not that I condone that…), but not as solid privacy wise. I know that nord and proton have excellent Linux support, idk about mullvad in that respect though.

Honestly though, if you’re just doing this for privacy concerns you might as well just use something like quad9 DNS – for free. VPNs are only really useful faking you’re location or pirating. Not so much for privacy or security. Quad9 + librewolf is king there.

It’s my authentic self in both of those situations. Like I said, they are different kinds of friendships, but they are of equal integrity and value to me. I think you fail to understand that people can have very real and ernest friendships that are different from your presuppositions around friendship.

Reflecting on this, though, makes me realize that I don’t really switch gears. I tend to not talk about myself that much anyway (I also have a therapist, which may contribute to my not feeling like I need to), and when I’m with friends who do, I mostly listen. But I don’t think that diminishes the friendship. One doesn’t need to know my familial history to be my friend.

For me, anyway, a feeling of compassion towards the other, the capability of empathy, and a genuine understanding of their personality is what it takes to be friends :)
