I really like what the shaders community is doing but these setups-time and expensive retro-hardware makes my just wanna find the first crt I can in a random vintage market, more faithful and less expansive.

You have options, since you still need different consoles if you are really into videogames, but PS3 is the single most valuable in my opinion:

  • It can't be always decently emulated on PC
  • Exclusives still today (mostly japanese)
  • Games need space so they are best to buy retail, they are cheap and on bluray (great durability over time)
  • You probably already have a 1080p display, so it work well on it.
  • You can play movies and cd audio on it, so a great companion to every desktop PC
  • Also eventually hackable if you prefer
  • It's so cheap to buy

Yeah I'm also looking for a PS2 with network extension for the drive. But I firstly need to find a CRT, I'm tired to play with shaders to get a decent experience.

I suppose I'm allergic to sharing my data with corporations

More serious reply: I prefer to not depend on others on personal stuff that I can maintain by myself, eventually in a smarter and more versatile way.

Do you mean a self-hosted service for a server?

I prefer QuodLibet but I'll check for Deadbeef again, thanks.

 

Hello, as an audiophile I'm searching for a player with local statistics, I'd like to maintain my datas (listens, favs, etc) locally in my drive and, if possible, sync these infos thru something like Syncthing to another PC. Would be nicer a player that shows these stats in a cool way, similar to streaming services like Spotify.

 

I'm using Dark Reader extension but still I'm whiteflashed when loading pages.

 

One thing I see as underestimated is that having a major standard device is huge for indie development and could greatly benefit the most flourishing artistic landscape.

One of the problems today is that the indie and AAA markets are increasingly distant, publishing a game on the PS5 or XSX digital store is prohibitive for a small indie team, but if Steam Machine is successful, we can expect more easy access to indie games by (ex)console gamers, and later a reduction in publishing costs on consoles.

I believe Steam Deck has already started this process, but with a device that will compete with the 9th generation of home consoles the indie game diffusion could accelerate.

 

Do you also find yourselves defending communist positions because they are misunderstood by most people? Do you also find yourselves specifying the type of anarchism you refer to because most people have a conception of anarchy as simply chaotic rebellion?

Personally, I find it more effective to define myself as an anarcho-communist in order to emphasize the concept of anarchy as a structure and to highlight the concept of communism as a proletarian organizational tool.

So, yes, there are sneakers made by gum and canvas (like Converse) but these are not the best pick for everything.

I'm skeptical on leather alternatives for shoes, "fake leather" has generally low durability and I'm not strictly interested in cloning the aesthetic; when it comes to boots/shoes there are very poor alternative to a refurbished leather pair: great durability and flexibility, traditional models can be resoled, great looking over time when well maintained, the ecologic aspect, etc. Also the price: new tech-fibers are generally very expensive with dubitabile quality, while leather can be very cheap considering what you pay for.

What do you think about it? What's your daily use? I could edit this OP to share products you found interesting.

(edit) An user suggests vegetarian-shoes.co.uk

 

I need dates! Here in the pic an example on how I enjoy and order my digital collection. (I have a more detail date when I'm playing the album but for general view the only og year is enough) Also, I've noticed Elisa didn't order correctly albums in the same year, it probably ignore months? MusicBrainz tags have an "original date" field for this cases.

PS. I usually use Quod Libet

I read many comments on how PeerTube isn't sustainable as a YouTube alternative and, while it's certainly true right now, are we sure it will be the same in the near future?

The platform is growing and the new mobile app is making great progress; I can certainly see some people investing in a major instance some day, accelerating the platform adoption.

Looks like I can tag stuff but it doesn't appear in the sidebar under tags, I've tried to F5 or reboot but nothing.

[edit] A little of context

  • Arch Linux (Endeavour OS)
  • Plasma 6.3.4
  • Qt 6.9.0
  • Kernel 6.12
  • Wayland

Framasoft deserve all the support but single instances also deserve it, since they have to maintain the raw server cost, also the platform desperately needs a well supported general instance for mass adoption.

 

This is my fav wallpaper for desktop and I can't live without it, I think it's just perfect for focusing elements, but also artistic, it seems something like abstract art but in a painted style; probably not AI generated but I don't know the artist's name. I would really like to know more about this style and to find similar stuff.

 

I'm thinking of entering this world for the first time, and I was wondering if there are any models that you feel you would particularly recommend, thanks to anyone who would like to share their experience!
