  • Eat shit Spotify.

    Jump

  • Definitely. But if this specific feature, that isn't even primarily intended as an accessibility feature, has apparently not been available before in this form, does it make sense to call out Spotify for making that feature available "only" limited on the free version?

    But yes, I'm aware of the community I'm on right now :D

  • So how did deaf people enjoy music for free before Spotify?

  • Why do the vast majority of romantic comedies depict people who are wealthy?

    Jump

  • That's what I asked Annette.

  • What are some preparations you think people should know about in advance of migrating to Linux?

    Jump

  • #1 If someone has the macho habbit of not feeling in need of documentation, they need to unlearn it.

    Jump

  • I never dual-booted and I noticed I escaped a few traps. At best I'd base the decision on some research whether or not there is a way to run your irreplaceably essential software.

  • What is your favourite shell to use

    Jump

  • I use mainly fish and occasionally nushell.

  • Lemmy comrades/people/lemmings who have learned a new language using online resources, what/how was it like?

    Jump

  • I didn't get far learning any language using free online resources (technically English, but that was/is rather a passive learning experience).

    I mostly used Duolingo to take the first steps and to challenge my interest for the language. At a certain point I prefer language-specific services, e.g. for Esperanto there is lernu (I stopped that, because I hated a few concepts of the language).

    I learn Japanese on and off. I'm currently at my third or fourth attempt I believe xD I tried a lot from (again) Duolingo, JapanesePod101 to Memrise. On the long-term I prefer to use online resources secondary, e.g. existing Anki vocabulary decks to guide my textbook. And for a language like Japanese I like to use different kinds of dictionaries, articles and historical context, because sometimes there simply isn't a definite answer T_T

  • What's your "back pocket" wish?

    Jump

  • Infinite wishes

  • Gladiator II will have some of the biggest action sequences ever put on film, as claimed by Paramount Exec

    Jump

  • Oof, I wish I didn't read that.

  • Deleted

    Are GTK Themes dying?

    Jump

  • If the workflow at a workplace requires a consistent experience across all PCs...why doesn't that workplace enforce that consistency?

    I understand your frustrations, but corporate or organizational needs should not technically limit the personal needs of using a personal computer.

    (And when people, used to a strict environment, are overwhelmed by the amount of freedom in their new environment, I think it's better to guide them through the options instead of just taking away everyone's freedom)

  • Instagram Confirms Testing Unskippable Ads for Some Users: Report

    Jump

  • I much prefer short unskippable ads over conditionally skippable ads without a length max.

  • People who have installed Linux on their parents computer, how did it go? Which distro do you recommend? Any tips?

    Jump

  • When my mom used her laptop, she was using arch btw! It was only for browsing though. Firefox was auto launched and she didn't have to learn anything. It obviously wouldn't have been a good choice, if I wasn't able to do the updates.

  • How happy are you with your current distro?

    Jump

  • Very happy with my Arch setup since 3-4 years I believe. But my laptop that I use and update too irregularly to justify having Arch on it, probably needs an alternative :D

  • I firmly believe protestors have a right to shut down busy highways, freeways, places of business and higher education.

    Jump

  • There are cases where this applies, when a significant issue is censored across all media and you can only reach the rest of the people with greater power to resist the oppressors.

    In most cases, it doesn't. We have somehow normalized the assumption that people will listen more to protests. But do you really? Don't reduce it to issues you already pay attention to. Think from the perspective of the uninformed target people. Think of political ideas you don't tolerate. Will you listen more to them, if they block your way, ruin your day and may even harm your life instead of having a conversation with you?

  • As a capable but lazy user, how much would switching to Arch frustrate me?

    Jump

  • If it's your first distro, then it might be an overkill.

    I'd first start out with a readymade distro, because maybe it already fits your needs and wants. If you get to a point where you spend a lot of time on rebuilding your setup or distro-hopping, then Arch can be considered.

    (Not because you are lazy. I'm lazy, too, but maintenance isn't much work, unless you're running updates too infrequently. You should check the news before updating. Many users don't and even then when you "break" something, it's not too difficult to identity the problem and fix it with the great help of ArchWiki, the community and chroot.)

  • What do you think of the term "short king" as a term that's supposed to champion body positivity for men?

    Jump

  • I know people mean it well and I respect that. But it's a little indirect insult, when their first reaction is to assume that you feel bad about it and to patronize you.

    Of course there are people with that mindset among short dating men who often aggressively blame women's standards. So I try to be not too upset about it.

  • #1 finds ways to not give you a solution despite having one. #2 finds ways to give you a solution despite not having any.

  • What's your favorite game you played this year? (Doesn't have to be released this year )

  • Do you actually own anything digital?

    Jump

  • Yes, that is "fucked" up. The same way it is fucked up that not all VHS you once bought and own have been preserved without loss and none of them will forever. The same way it is fucked up that a software product you once bought and own won't be updated to be usable with your requirements forever.

    The mortality of a product does suck, but a) this isn't exclusive to the greed of subscription services and b) you don't need to use a product til the end of time to make it worth it. E.g. I don't use Netflix anymore, but everything I was able to consume during my subscription was ridiculously worth it to me.
