oh, I’ve been wondering about this, as I’ve had occasional youtube-video just enter the infinite buffering. Oddly it has only happened on linux o_O

I know Åkerfelt and Abasi, but who are the other two?

It looks like a shiny plastic toy.

I was just about to say exactly this. For some reason the go-to effect seems to always be reflections. Why does everything need to be super glossy? Add lens flares while you’re at it, why don’t you.

figures, but hey, if people really enjoy it then… fine.

I play quite a bit of idlers and clickers, and they’re generally quite low on the gameplay department, but this… this just looks minimum effort meme game. Doesn’t seem like there’s anything more than a click counter and an image of a banana.

Am I missing something?

how about somewhat proggy folky metal with death/black/power metal thrown in? Moonsorrow. Orchestral… not really, but melodic with mouth harps, fiddles, etc folk instruments & 8-30 min per song, mostly about iron age pagan tribe’s battles, lore and life. All of the songs in finnish tho, so some language barrier.

Other than that, I’d probably go with Avantasia, Rhapsody, and such. Can’t beat the classics :)

not really sure what I’d categorize Moonsorrow as… I guess their earlier stuff has “some” overlap with powermetal, but only kinda, mostly about “iron age pagan tribe warfare/battles/life” tho. Albums I’m thinking of are “Voimasta ja Kunniasta” and “Kivenkantaja”, the newer stuff starts to veer towards blackmetal and more about death and despair, even if the frame of reference stays same-ish.

it’s like that friends -meme: “repeat after me: discord is not the place for documentation/wiki/distribution”, and joey goes “discord is the place for documentation/wiki/distribution”.

obvious privacy concerns aside, who the hell actually needs this?

If something I do is important enough to remember later, I do save it (bookmark, screenshot, screencast, whatever). This doesn’t need to be automated, esp. since it seems to require 25-50 GB of diskspace to do anyway.

For users, this is a solution seeking for a problem. For megacorpo this is just more data harvesting, even if it’s “only local” for now. Hard pass, nopety-nope-nope, also arch btw and so forth.

sample size of 1, admittedly, but there’s so few times I’ve managed to break arch - which I can’t 100% attribute to myself.

Once the updates broke, somehow wiping bash -binary and kernel. Not entirely sure how or why, all I did was a normal pacman -Suy. I might have issued the pacman -command from a long path which didn’t exist anymore, not sure if relevant or not. Hasn’t happened since, so… dunno. It did spook me a bit, but nobody else at the time reported similar issues.

I’ve ran arch for years at work (webdevelopment, desktop and laptop), home server (irc shell, mumble, etc hosting) and now home desktop too (gaming, media, dualbooting with win10).

The home server has required a powerbutton -forced boot once or twice, many months of uptime & regular kernel updates can apparently mess something with networking and usb, so can’t ssh in and keyboard doesn’t get regognized when plugged in. So, you know, reboot after kernel updates? :D

It’s always a good idea to check the website for breaking changes which require manually doing something, there has been a few along the years.

needs few circles around the X in the corner too.

bonus points for subtly hidden dick and balls, though

I’m ok with timezones, but the guy who invented daylight savings time I’d slap to all the way to the sun

c’mon man, you forgot to call .EnableUltraWideSupport()

absolutely, but they were in general (IIRC) suggesting them for the main downloads, but just not telling anyone outside the comments, which was the weird part

not only the ux, some devs make it absurdly confusing to find a binary.

I don’t want to throw anyone under the bus, but there’s this one niche app.

their github releases at one point were YEARS out of date, they only linked to the current version in seemingly random issue reports’ comments. And the current versions were some daily build artefacts you could find in a navigation tree many clicks deep in some unrelated website. And you’d better be savvy enough to download a successfully built artefact too. And even then the downloaded .zip contained all kinds of fluff unnescessary for using the app.

The app worked fine, sure, but actually obtaining it was fairly tricky, tbh.

It can’t carry, but it can throw stuff from the ground. Came useful in one side quest.

Other than that, used it few times to pull a lever or such. Nothing terribly handy (sorry, not sorry)
