5·2 months agoIs this a crazy coincidence or are you psychic?!? The picture in the post is from the Sorcerer’s Stone! I got sick and nostalgic, and started listening to it.
I think it’s a little shorter in reality though, compared to what audible claims here…
You’re 100% right about Rowling, she’s gone off the deep end in a bad way.
You QWERTY people…
/jk
Colemak is great though
I’ve had a pretty intense widows peak since teenagerdom and have also gotten regular compliments on my hair since teenagerdom. Coincidence? I think not!

- Alacritty: a minimalist Wayland GPU-accelerated terminal. Claims to be the fast currently available terminal. Also the coolest name ever. This is what I personally use, in combination with tmux.
- Kitty: a more feature rich alternative, also Wayland, GPU-accelerated, and on par with alacritty for speed. Actually starts up a little faster but uses up more resources and sacrifices in other performance metrics (in my experience).
- Foot: another minimalist Wayland alternative, but this time CPU driven. Despite this, the performance is still on par with the others. I think this is especially good for laptops and such that run on integrated graphics.
Literally the only social media I use (apart from signal, if that counts).
I didn’t even know people do this wtf… The only explanation I could fathom would be some kind of over use of the OED’s fourth definition:
- (1797) – (A body of) non-fictional books and writings published on a particular subject.
The key is “on a particular subject.” When referring to literature in general, it refers to literally any written work (including letters, advertising, etc.). I very much sympathize with your frustration…
Literally the person you are responding to
PS: also me and a whole lot of other people; just pointing out of pointless your question/statement was.
+1, it is much worse than even proof-of-work crypto though. I think AI is the bigger enemy, since at least in crypto, there are ways of developing and using it that aren’t as bad (or even at all) for the climate.
If you are from a western country there is a certain risk in going to North Korea.
Interesting question! The issue of white genocide in South Africa is particularly relevant here…
Yeah, the angle is kinda misleading… I would almost hazard that there were more people in the Obama shot.
Hmm — maybe that’s why the barista always ignores my order and little children scream when I walk by…
Idk, I turned down my heating to 15° © last winter, and was fine. And I live farther north than France, in a first-floor apartment, with pretty shitty insulation (it’s a pre-WWII building). I have great rent though.
In Germany Jan Böhmermann did an expose on Falun Gong once, and it was hilarious. Highly recommend, it’s still on YouTube.
Librewolf is the best ✅
Also shout-out to airwindows. Absolutely fantastic plugin collection, and entirely free!!!
Edit: also, while I’m at it, Orca is a great, though very weird, sequencer.
I almost disagree with this.
IMO Reaper is fantastic and simply a better drop-in replacement for audacity. Audacity—despite the wonderful name, second only to Alacritty (maybe the greatest program name ever)—is wildly difficult to use, buggy as all hell, and insanely inefficient. Reaper, on the other hand, works for simple things and for complex synthesizer and wacky editing stuff perfectly. I still remember how surprised and bemused I was that the Electro-Akustik department in the Akademie der Künste in Berlin uses basically-free Reaper for their recording needs.
The only argument for audacity is the slightly faster start-up time, and the absence of a “buy-me” pop-up (if you haven’t purchased one of the very affordable licenses). Seriously though, since I discovered Reaper I’ve basically used it for everything not related to work et al. Fantastic software.
Audacity is decent, but Reaper is sooooooooooooooooooooooo much better. Sooooooooooooooooooooooo much. And it’s basically free (presuming you’re not a business).
You could at least try to be civil. I am still curious as to what your original reply meant though. Are you calling me centrist? I am communist, how in the world could I simultaneously be centrist? Furthermore, I wasn’t — as far as I’m aware — stating any kind of political opinion with my original reply.
Please, I beg you, elaborate. I would appreciate that a lot more than jumping to conclusions.
This awesome, thank you for your contribution to the open source space!! I have been looking for something like this for a while :), more powerful than apostrophe, more aesthetic than neovim. This fits the bill, thank you!
