I didn’t do it!

Is there a federated Discourse? https://www.discourse.org/

I’d like to see that.

A what now? 🔎 https://cockpit-project.org/

Are you also scared of databases and prefer storing things in raw txt files?

Yes, actually. 😅 I can’t manage a database for more than a few weeks before I screw it up or want to easily edit something and stop using it.

I don’t think databases are bad. I think I’m too much of a fuckup to manage one.

There are several projects named zipline. I think you’re talking about this one though: https://github.com/diced/zipline

Yep, great links. That’s what I’ve been using. Not all the content I’m looking for is available as torrents though. On top of that, I’m mainly interested in Latino Spanish dubs, not Spanish Spanish.

I should try more sites from the downloading category though. I just automatically went to the torrenting section and skipped over others.

Yes!!! Keep enshittifying! Yes! nods menacingly

Lemmy is my main social media. I don’t use anything else. Occasionally, I still get reddit in my search results though.

Oh, I also use Discord.

I’m on a laptop. Arch, btw.

I went here: https://superpractica.org/play/online/

I can get past the godot loading screen. I see “Super Practica”, “Play topics”, “Info”, etc. But clicking doesn’t work. Keyboard input doesn’t work.

Hm. I couldn’t start the game. I tried Chrome and Librewolf. It’s stuck on the welcome screen. Looks interesting though!

I don’t currently have a backup computer. And that’s bitten me more than a few times. I’ve been meaning to buy a spare.

Nobody move or the bunny gets it!

Yep. Spanish has a number of Arabic loan words, given Spain was conquered by the moors for a bit.

Maybe something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articles_of_Confederation previously in the US?

the Congress observed them as it conducted business during the American Revolution (defense), directing the Revolutionary War effort, conducting diplomacy with foreign states (foreign relations), addressing territorial issues (cross-jurisdiction crime)

So what do they actually offer, on top of the work of creative people making music? Not much.

OK, so I left Spotify for Navidrome a while back BUT. What Spotify sells isn’t music. Spotify sells curation and recommendations. Most people aren’t music lovers that want to hunt for cool new music. They just want a pre-generated list of songs that they’ll more or less like. That’s actually kinda huge.

A recommendation engine is something I wish fediverse or open source would tackle. I’m on Navidrome now, but I’m definitely listening to way less music now—access isn’t an issue—I just haven’t had time to hunt around for new music. Investigating new bands takes time. On Spotify, you do it without even really thinking about it.

a place where nationwide laws are defaults, but smaller hierarchies can pass laws to supercede the higher defaults?

Hm… that kinda doesn’t seem too useful, no? What would even be the point of the higher government if you can just completely ignore them locally?

I’ve tried the foam earplugs from a drugstore/chemist’s. They’re extremely difficult to put in properly

There’s definitely a right and wrong way to put these in. I used to just stuff them in my ear because I didn’t think I needed instructions on how to use them. But, I recently learned I was doing it wrong. After watching this video, putting them on was way easier AND they also blocked out way more noise.

But, yeah, they do get dirty after a few uses. Although, they’re way cheaper than Loop… soo… idk.

Leaving a social media platform often forces content creators to start over from scratch on a new site.

Don’t Lemmy and Mastodon also have this problem to some extent? Like, all the comms on lemm.ee will have to start over on new instances, no? Is it possible to migrate all subscribers, comments, and posts? Or just partial migrations?

Wow! It’s so nice that the company got back to him! /s

But, seriously, I’m not doing take home projects anymore. I recently interviewed at a company that rhymes with Lagi. They asked me to build an app for them for 2 weeks. I did. I sent them the project and then they just fucking ghosted me. I sent them 3 follow up emails and nothing. Not even a rejection.
