Yet to play Elden Ring specifically, but there’s also [email protected] if you’d like to crosspost there.

Slog through most of it, and underdelivered for what Ragnarök the myth is. Also apparently it must’ve been a trilogy, the Norse saga of GoW, but someone decided for cramming two games into one.

Linux initially, giving way for me to see that the best alternatives to me are generally the ones I control.

And considering geopolitics, where I can see how dangerous a well-positioned spy/saboteur/paid actor can be, my next self host project is some ActivityPub social media, at least as an one-user instance since I don’t want to act as a company yet, so I have control of where I’m posting from too.

Did it myself. Thanks to point out. =D

WHEN THE WINGED JEDIS ARRIVED

epic synth+rock instrumental ensues

There’s that legal jargon that comes to mind, fishing expedition

I wonder how much of that could be mitigated if the ebooks were made officially DRM-free, or if people would be willing to buy but resort to illegal means because they don’t want people owning stuff…

Also in line with both situations, meat, salad and beans go great together. 👌

From skimming the article, the author seems to be recommending eating because it’s tasty? Title is misleading if so.

Also people shouldn’t forget meat, so their muscles can better grow.

Preaching the choir here, but please use it as a motivation to feed the fediverse more. 👌

And related to this, a good use of the fediverse is that, if there’s nothing inherently bad about what you’re trying to post but your chosen instance is tripping like Reddit, you can just give the finger to it and pick another instance. Or if the community is the one tripping, you can make your own, or look for an already existing alternative.

All sources are biased. The ones that say they aren’t are trying to trick you. Understanding the bias of what you consume allows sifting through to get the information.

Virginia bat vs Fennec fox, who can listen to thoughts better? 🤭

Arch should be in its own tier: BTW

A few asked there before about RSS, including myself, but the more, the merrier.

No RSS feed still and I don’t like opening sites just to see if there’s news.

Oh, right, another unothordox solution involving comes to mind, though theorethical as I don’t have a baremetal Windows 10 or 11 with me to test.

If an older program runs on full screen, it can mess the resolution of the system, be it on Linux or Windows.

Though on Windows there are tools specifically for running full screen programs windowed, Wine through WSL could help too with its virtual desktop flag, while also tackling another of Windows’ problems, its backwards compatibility is spotty at best, specially the older a program is.

The command is:
wine explorer /desktop=some_name,window_size /path/to/executable.exe
“some_name” can be anything, and “window_size” is the size of the virtual desktop and ideally should be the same as the size of the fullscreen program.
Example:
wine explorer /desktop=MyDesktop,800x600 Game.exe

Another thing, LibreOffice Calc is much, much lighter than Excel. And I say that despite using both the 2010 or 2016 versions of Excel, depending on the Windows edition I need to use, and having tested LibreOffice Calc on Windows.

From my experience, the more stuff you put on an Excel sheet, the more of a memory hog it becomes. But if you save the sheet and then open it on LibreOffice Calc, suddenly it becomes perfectly browsable, and it takes much longer to have LibreOffice be a memory hog too.

My use in computer is usually keyboard-centric, so Windows’ overdependence on the mouse breaks the workflow a lot for me.

Annoyed for it, I found a tool, WinLaunch, that works like the MacOS Launchpad (according to itself), Ubuntu’s launchpad (best part of the OS imo), and Android’s app menu:
https://winlaunch.org/

It even supports browsing with the keyboard! And a tip, afaik, no program uses Shift Esc on Windows, so it ends up being a practical key combo to open the pad. =)

Another that imo improves the Windows experiece, though a bit unothordox and if I remember correctly from my tests, is ncdu through WSL.

When the storage is full on Windows, it can be a pain to clean up. But as the Linux tools through WSL can interact with the host system, you can use ncdu’s sorting by the folders’ total sizes to see what is taking away your storage.

In line of storage management, VisiPics is the best tool I found for finding duplicated images, and it’s exclusive to Windows. Not quite refined, but helps a bunch once you get past the learning curve.

Its site seems down, but it’s still on Sourceforge:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/visipics/

If you like the command poweroff from Linux for ease to type but not shutdown /s from Windows, you can place a file poweroff.txt in your user folder, put shutdown /s inside, and rename the extension to .bat. Can’t remember if there’s a more quick way to summon the DOS terminal, but using Win R > type “cmd” > enter > type “po” followed by tab is a very quick way to open the bat file. Also tab in the DOS terminal allows browsing by files that start with what you wrote if there’s more than one starting with “po”.

Can’t remember any more at the time.

Iirc ffmpeg is the basis for most modern conversion tools, including some functions from yt-dlp.

Also a matter of taste, I suppose, but yt-dlp can also include the description of a video to the comments section of a video/audio’s metadata. Programs like VLC can show that. Iirc the flags needed are --embed-metadata --parse-metadata "description:(?s)(?P<meta_comment>.+)"

Not quite the same, but since Reddit doesn’t want you there, why not try feeding other forums? There’s plenty outside of the fediverse too.
