  • At this point I'd nearly appreciate the removal of old.reddit or RES. My desktop browsing experience hasn't changed in roughly a decade and a half and that's a shitload of inertia. A few trims of my subscribed list has limited my exposure to the worst of the slop and botting.

    Mobile is absolutely a different situation for both Reddit and Lemmy alike. I found Jerboa shortly after the API disaster and have stuck with it since, but I probably need to look into tweaks for desktop/browser Lemmy. RES and old.reddit are a killer combo but fuck their 'official' app and the 'new' interface.

    Regardless, I no longer participate on Reddit and highly prefer interacting here; more interesting and informative conversations by far.

  • Keyboard and mouse input for the phone is a gamechanger for me. Having a manipulatable window that I can drag and drop files to is super nice as well.

    Also since Slay the Spire doesn't have cross-saving and all my progress is on my phone I can play it without staring at my phone.

  • I agree with you in spirit but would also like to shill for scrcpy in general if you aren't already using it. Mirroring phone screen to my laptop is fucking amazing.

  • Expensive to process safely and in an ecologically-conscious manner. Aka expensive in money but it's important to note the environmental damage these processing plants can do when unregulated.

  • The photo in the article also doesn't display the heat maps legend. Clicking on it reveals a legend at the bottom but the word "quantiles" is AI-sloppy looking. Could be a compression artifact?

  • spend hours ricing my desktop and decided I hated it at the end, and ended up wiping my entire OS

    Jump

  • Honestly I even get rid of the taskbar too. I'll float the system tray at approximately the same place but either let it hide behind everything or fill the space above it with a specific window (mirrored phone screen) with fixed size. Now that I'm typing it out though, I'm going to investigate auto-hiding it until a keybind reveals it in front of all windows.

    I switch programs exclusively with alt+tab regardless and KDE's launcher fulfills the super-menu functionality. I want a fresh session login to open to just my wallpaper. No icons, no task bar, no tray, nothing. An anti-rizz if you will.

    I like the aesthetic and see it as a (tongue-in-cheek) method of security by obfuscation. I pair that with completely blank keycaps on my keyboard and suddenly 99% of the population doesn't know how to interact with my machine.

  • What are some good songs about thriving in a chaotic environment?

    Jump

  • I dunno about thriving but Psyopus - Insects definitely nails the chaotic shitshow...

  • Metal on the inside, business on the outside

  • Totally valid, no rush. My guitar whispered to me a bit yesterday but its been a few weeks so I stuck to warming up rather than pushing for tempo.

    I've mostly been working on Black Dahlia Murder's Statutory Ape and Protest the Hero's The Dissentience in terms of full songs. A few scattered PtH riffs off Palimpsest; intro to Sun of Nothing and the sweeps at the end of Selkies by BTBAM to round things out.

    Haven't written anything in years, just working on my chops.

  • A few more;

    Alluvial

    An Endless Sporadic (Guitar Hero fans know)

    Scale the Summit (but only the first couple albums - Carving Desert Canyons specifically)

    TRAM (Tosin Abasi plays jazz)

    Teramobil (GREAT introduction to my favorite modern bassist, Dominic LaPointe)

    Trioscapes (Between the Buried and Men's bassist Dan plays jazz)

  • I often can't work to their music because my brain fills in their vocals for me, which is sometimes too distracting.

    Can relate 100%. I have audio processing oddities that make understanding lyrics difficult. With how many times I've listened to their albums (1500 times in a row for Palimpsest! I've got the Last.FM receipts for it, even) I know the lyrics mostly by heart. Instead of my brain being distracted trying to comprehend it gets distracted trying to sing along. Thus, instrumental for getting work done.

    Also I can't keep my boys Between the Buried and Me out of this post any longer. Suuuuuuuuch a fucking band. The new album rules, too!

  • CHON, Covet and Mestís are pretty laid back and so fucking excellent.

    Cloudkicker has been around for a long ass time; early-mid 00's on Myspace. One of the progenitors of the 'bedroom guitarist' project, although he toured with Intronaut as his backing band awhile back.

    Arctopus and Blotted Science are fucking weird and I love them.

  • Tosin is the greatest guitarist of the millenial generation.

    Also his co-guitarist Javier has an excellent project as Mestís.

    Covet

    Haunted Shores

    Intervals

    Mestís

    Also; I think mentioning Protest the Hero in the context of instrumental music does a HUGE disservice to Rody Walker's vocal talents and lyrics. However as a guitar nerd and PtH fan I approve of their inclusion.
