Connect is cool, no ads, buy-me-a-coffee support

It features powerful filters that allows me to stay away from current usa politics (by keywords) and from websites I wouldn’t consume content (by URL)

I find its layout more legible, be it overview or listing communities etc. Also features direct links to overall instances, ability to switch accounts or browse other instances as guest

Dev is open to requests / suggestions (and bug reports) in c/lemmyconnect, tho their availability is spotty

Still a pretty solid app, with these filters being the one feature I need IRL. Fuck trump, fuck x.com, etc etc.

Since murglar allows you to download and keep the music you are paying for, I’m pretty sure that’s completely illegal and could get you banned from the service

Which you’d then stop paying for

And turn to regular old piracy to get your music

…maybe someone at deezer, a service that isn’t even profitable, think that one a bit further, because I’m on murglar since forever (tho I don’t use it all the time, only when I need it)

Ultra-specific: soundtracks for theatre plays. I’m happy with the available vst’s, but I am not a musician, I don’t play instruments - I record people or I rip stuff & work from there. That said it means multi-band comps, tube-like preamps, parametric eqs, de-essers, echo/delays etc… It’s OK really.

Maybe all this is a bit like photoshop vs gimp: I mostly only ever used Ardour since forever and I cannot compare / suffer / get my workflow irremediably blocked because it doesn’t work for me like I expect it to.

Ardour is really a powerhouse now, and with the Pipewire audio stack, switching inputs or monitoring in every which way is just a breeze.

There’s tons of Linux musicians advice out there, including on, ahem, reddit. Yeah I know.

Now that we have Steam on Asahi my macos partition gonna get shrinked to minimal functional lol.

I ran into issues while exporting (rendering) with kdenlive, where you will notice available formats being different between the Mac version of kdenlive and the Linux one.

But to me it was a matter of compatibility, I don’t really care as long as I get useable files of sufficient quality, so I didn’t pay much attention, works-for-me style I’m afraid.

Same applies to hardware vs software encoding/decoding - the M chipset is quite powerful enough you shouldn’t have to worry about it in a pro context where encoding is something you gotta do and it’s doing it reasonably fast.

Just try it out, it doesn’t kill your mac install, and you can compare.

I use it everyday. Got it with Gnome, which is very mac-y but think ultra-zen, minimalist, early macos style. Also with the spinning cube and the wobbly windows, I just can live without these very important productivity addons.

YMMV but for my use case it just works, period - and my use case isn’t light-browsing-casual-text-editing but multitrack mixing with Ardour over Pipewire and some video editing on kdenlive. Oh and we’ve got steam games now lol, I just started Portal (unavailable on Mac haha) for 0.99!

Good thing about Asahi is that it is dualboot by nature, you won’t loose your macos partition for that pesky proprietary app (fuck u Qlab)

Try it out, you’ll love it if nothing specific arm64-related gets in your way. Software availability is great, there’s Ftapak of course for more stuff… It works and is painless to try out.

The Air macs are the best: light, thin, with awesome batteries. The only words of warning are about the reboot mid-process during install: Mac laptops tend to boot on any keystroke, lid movement anything so be sure to not touch anything & just long-press the power button 'til the appropriate screen shows up. That’s all there is to it, the only risky moment. Just (long-)press that button.

No comment on that particular service, but I just checked Murglar 2 on my phone and it half-works, not everything is available to play / download but I’m not locked out either

Edit: I updated the app and it is much better, everything I tried downloads

Je m’assied sur les bancs dans les parcs publics. Parfois avec un bouquin.

Mais il faut avouer que je suis presque vieux alors c’est dans doute normal (56).

Venir nous visiter ! Ben oui ça grandit ces cornichons, puis ça va s’installer ici où là et c’est parfois loin (Londres)

Mais ces vacances on se retrouve toustes plus-ou-moins au même endroit plus-ou-moins en même temps ! (Rabat)

Prius Dwellers are probably the most hardcore at that

These seats are more expensive due to the extra legroom. They tend to be the last ones available to people who didn’t bother to buy a specific seat on cheap airlines, so if you check-in at the last moment you may get some unsold “high value” seat assigned on your boarding pass.

Fuck airlines that make you pay to get a standard seat, quiet at the back of the plane.

Wrapped in the shiniest paper!

What the, uh, crunchy hell is a “Crunchy Granola Area”? Or did you just fired the queen of all autocorrect ever & I’m being too obtuse to detect it?

Y’a-t-il des utilisateurs de téléphone Pixel ici ? Les prix, même en occase, même en vieux modèle, m’irritent la rétine, mais j’aimerais bien passer à GrapheneOS

Question précise : la durée de vie de la batterie est aussi mauvaise que ça ? Y’a une différence entre modèle plus premium mais écran plus énergivore etc ? Descendre sous les 5000 mAh me stresse j’ai fréquemment de longues journées où mon téléphone me sert beaucoup, genre télécommander des machins, surveiller des bidules, envoyer des trucs. Glander sur Lemmy quand le spectacle est chiant, aussi.

Quelqu’un connaît une app, de préférence F-Droid ou Obtainium, de suivi d’heures de travail prestées ? Pas de chichis, de tralala, juste un truc qui dit combien d’heures j’ai passées par projet / par entité avec laquelle je bosse ?

Fini 1~4 de Babylon 5 et je vois pas pourquoi ils ont tourné une cinquième saison - ou alors ils en tournaient 10 de plus pour vraiment nous raconter toute l’histoire de toute la galaxie quoi

(Re-)commencé Battlestar Galactica, c’est la troisième fois je pense. Ou 4

I have an app that blocks scam/spam so irl I answer 100% but technically I only pickup 50%

Game: Gunship 2000

Book: the Murderbot Diaries

TV: Firefly

Movie: Casablanca no! Little Shop of Horrors!

Cluse ! (Rhône-qui-fait-un-trou-dans-le-Jura)

Confidence: j’ai jamais fait les marches de la galerie souterraine. Jamais ! On avait une install à +120 environ où je suis intervenu deux fois mais monter tout ce bazar ? Lol, c’est pour les touristes moi j’ai les clefs je monte en bagnole par le sentier de randonnée interdit aux véhicules… Quand je dois effectivement bosser au Fort du haut, uniquement, quoi.

Les km c’est juste parce que cette baraque est énorme, que le tour de toutes les expos est bien long, que en fonction de sa valeur / de sa sensibilité à l’humidité le matos est rangé aux 4 coins du bazar. Un concert c’est 15km normalement, tranquille.

Ah bah, j’ai survécu (et perdu quelques kilos). On verra l’année prochaine !
