  • Dude just try to be a little open minded to a potentially good thing.

    The entire process releases zero greenhouse gases, uses no farmland to feed cows, and despite its industrial appearance, has a significantly smaller footprint.

  • YSK: Deezer, the music streaming service, is owned by a company whose Founder and CEO is a Russian Oligarch with connections to the Kremlin and donates to the American Republican party.

  • Oh, I took your original question more generically. You can use last.fm to provide you with recommendations in general according to what you listen to (after scrobbling your library for a while), but acquiring the recommendations (and/or integrating into your active playlist) is a whole other thing. I'm sure it's possible but I don't know of out of the box way. Might be a plugin or something out there for it somewhere. That's why the convenience of streaming can be pretty nice.

  • Last.fm, but pay the artists somehow, concerts, merch or imo one of the streaming platforms.

  • Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April

    Jump

  • Yep. Imo now with Plex you are paying for a much simpler and accessible setup. Seems fair enough to me. Lemmy FOSS or die users (every else in this thread seemingly) are not the target audience of Plex but they sure love to complain about it.

  • Obsidian is now free for work - Obsidian

    Jump

  • I use it as a work journal and personal knowledge management (PKM). Each day I open a daily journal note (built from a template with an easy shortcut) that contain rough notes on what I did that day. From that note I link over to project notes for any project I worked on or complex issues, scratch notes, etc. I do split windows, one with a narrow view of the daily note and then a larger panel for content notes (like documenting the project or create a scratch note or searching for a note on a problem I had 2 years ago that I need to remember about). There are many useful plugins but Templater and "Various Complements" are my favorite. Templater allows me to configure a template for any note I want to configure, so I can create a new note then hit a shortcut that will prompt me for a page title and auto fill the note with my template (that includes tags, headings, etc) for a meeting or new project or scratch note. Templater can also organize the note and move it around on my filesystem. Various Complements plugin allows me to build a dictionary of anything I want that will then fill in like an IDE when I'm typing in a note. So I use it for all my coworker names, I type 4 letters of someone's name and it pops up suggestions where I can tab-complete their full name.

    It's truly a great program, better for me than all the others I've tried: OneNote, TiddlyWiki, DocuWiki, Dendron, and emacs. I used TiddlyWiki for years and had to bend it to my will in many wonky ways, then Obsidian came around and did 90% what I wanted out of the gate and the 3 or 4 plugins I use did the rest. I've been using it for a few years now.

  • 'You are making it hard for us!' Black Americans for Trump member rips president on CNN - Raw Story

    Jump

  • Yeah and I guess you vote third party or not at all which also is a vote for trump. Or maybe you're not even in the US. Pie in the sky idealism is great but unless you're organizing and changing the system BEFORE a generationally crucial election, and you voted third party (aka for trump) then you are just as naive and you'll suffer along with everyone else for your ridiculous unrealistic ideals.

    Harris would not have doomed us all to climate change or borked the whole fed government (the consequences of which we're already seeing and will only get much worse in the coming months) and definitely wouldn't have blamed a plane crash on all non-white people with straight up Jim Crow era messaging. Your comment is disingenuous or severely misinformed.

  • Sorry to hear it, congrats on the weight loss tho, try and focus on that positive. It probably depends on the group but you could try and talk to people individually beforehand so it's not a big surprise with the whole group on the day of. And just be honest with them try and set some boundaries.

  • '60 Minutes' Opening Prompts MAGA Meltdown

    Jump

  • This article is fucked up. No one (likely) here saw the 60 minutes opening, we're all reading about a huffpost article about the response from a bunch of people on Twitter, those might not even be Americans, they might have an IQ of 50, why are they driving the conversation? We're not taking the time to watch the 60 minutes and we're letting huffpost make money off of outrage culture. The content of the 60 minutes is the story and crucially important not the idiots/bots/propaganda responding to it. The shittiest type of journalism is based off Twitter replies and the best journalism is what 60 min is doing
