love this one. i’m really impressed with his consistent level of quality on all of these original songs, especially considering how fundamentally simple they are musically.

him recording banger after banger on his phone in the forest with nothing but a guitar and sometimes a harmonica while droves of industry plants churn out highly-produced slop in a vain attempt to make as many viral tiktok sound bites as possible is a prime example of the fact that good art comes from lots of passion and practice, not from access to expensive professional tools and resources.

also syncthing, if you’d like to synchronize a directory to act like a shared folder and be identical on both devices

I think NixOS would stand to benefit a lot by taking inspiration from openSUSE’s YaST system configuration tool. I think that if NixOS had a well supported graphical interface for creating and managing the system config, it would become so much more accessible to a very wide range of users who never would have given it a try otherwise, which in turn would bring in tons of new users and developers who will want to improve nixpkgs, etc.

you can install emudeck on any regular linux distro

if you can’t get xwiimote working for you, there’s also cwiid. http://abstrakraft.github.io/cwiid/

with dolphin specifically, you don’t want to connect the wiimote through the bluetooth interface, as dolphin has it built in to handle wiimotes already; see https://dolphin-emu.org/docs/guides/configuring-controllers/#Real_Wii_Remote

my personal wishlist would just be a proper homeserver and the typical home theatre stuff like a nice big screen, speakers, etc.

in a broader sense of how the ecosystem would be improved, i’d say more open source projects and solidarity in general. currently the worst, yet most common sort of piracy is people searching “watch blank online free” and clicking the shady websites full of junk ads, popups and malware just to see a shitty heavily compressed buffering version with baked in subtitles and stuff. piracy should be for the people, not for profit; lowering the amount of technical hoops you need to jump through to get to the good accessible media by having simple, free, and open tools would help a lot.

NixOS on everything at the moment. I’d like to try Guix some time soon

cool acronym have you tried conducting your research anywhere besides urban dictionary? needlessly perpetuating the casual use of a term of evidently racist origin is an affront to the collaborative spirit of free software that allows us to behold such beautiful configurations and customizations

The earlier seasons are much more dramatically engaging and interesting, but as the show goes on it gradually morphs into a more and more absurd comedy until it’s completely divorced from what it initially was and personally, I loved it. The first and second seasons had great character development with complex themes and conflicts, while the latter few seasons was purely some of the funniest tv i’ve seen in a long time.

I can definitely see how some might feel cheated by how the show unexpectedly changes tone–but the way I see it–the writing quality didn’t significantly degrade at all, it just switched genres. It feels like over time the writers started to care more about the show as an absurdist comedy than a drama/comedy.

Maybe I’m wrong and it was actually unintentional, maybe the writers just completely lost their minds. Either way it’s a very interesting and unique show, definitely worth sticking through to the end even when you think it has fully lost the plot.

good day, albert

If exploring the plethora of collect-em-all ideological labels on the left helps you enrich your political understanding then go for it–but when push comes to shove–the best leftists aren’t the ones who obsess over the minutia between every possible label, but the ones who move forward arm in arm with like-minded people to create a tangible positive difference where they can.

That being said my personal go-to label, especially when talking to folks who are less politically inclined, is just “socialist,” because it’s a bit clearer than something like “leftist” which will be interpreted by many Americans as left-wing/liberal, and also far less daunting to explain (and to understand, from an uninformed perspective) than any of the more particular and nuanced labels. To answer your initial question in the title though, you’re my comrade.
