I’ve heard that Mirlo.space is a good alternative to Bandcamp, and as an artist myself, it looks to be a good replacement.

Also gonna suggest Mirlo.space as it’s open sourced.

If you want a challenge, I’d recommend googling The Legend of Zelda: Beta Quest. It’s a ROM hack where the load trigger table (that is, the table that contains what door leads to what scene) is randomized using the save file name. The only way to win is to get to the final Ganon fight and defeat him, and there is a way to lose since there’s this test area where Link can’t move and is then killed by some armored enemies, and the load trigger table can sometimes open that up.

Currently replaying The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD. Also have a save going for Stardew Valley and Baldur’s Gate 3 (well, I have a few games going for BG3; I have my solo game, I have a game with my partner, I have a game with my partner and a friend, and then I have a game with my partner and two of his friends). I should also get back into Pathfinder: Kingmaker, but I think at this point I need to restart my save because it’s been so long.

I do video editing myself in Linux and Kdenlive does pretty much everything I need. The UI is a bit odd to learn but I’d imagine any new editing software is gonna have a learning curve of some sort.

I would as well

Tbh I was surprised they’re still using them

What about people who program in C?

There is, however, still the concept of the Chinese Room thought experiment, and I don’t think AI will topple that one for a while.

For those who don’t know and don’t wish to browse off the site, the thought experiment posits a situation in which a guy who does not understand Chinese is sat in a room and told to respond to sets of Chinese characters that come into the room. He has a little booklet of responses—all completely in Chinese—for him to use to send responses out of the room. The thought experiment questions whether or not the system of the Chinese Room itself can be thought to understand Chinese or even the man himself.

With the Turing Test getting all of the media spotlight in AI, machine learning, and cognitive science, I think the Chinese Room should enter into the conversation as the field of AI looks towards G.A.I.

Seconding AHK, Bitwarden, and Calibre

Vs code

I would actually recommend VSCodium; it’s the same product but without the Microsoft telemetry.

I’m glad I’m not the only person to dislike this game! After going through like three of the chapter 1 missions for the characters, the game felt very very samey, and on top of that, it’s probably one of the only story games that I haven’t finished.

Since I’ll be moving to LibreWolf and it’s based on FF, I’ll check out Mull. Unfortunately I don’t see my device on DivestOS’s site (it’s a Motorola Moto G Power 2022), but it’s also quite new so it’s understandable. I’ll switch it to Lineage or something like that whenever it gets support for it but I’m fine with a degoogled Android for now.

I’m personally like to stop using Brave, and I will, however while LibreWolf will be what I’ll switch to on desktop, I’m not sure what I would want to switch to on my Android phone. I see that LibreWolf doesn’t have an Android version (and potentially never will; fine, developers will do whatever they want). I’ve heard about IceRaven, however, I’m not sure how good it is. Also would like an actually privacy focused search engine, but I think LibreWolf might have a good list on that front.

(Note: please do suggest in replies, not sure I made that apparent)

Second for Journey, it’s a master class in non-dialogue storytelling, and it’s just a beautiful game all around. I got introduced to it through its music (via a cover artist) and have fallen in love with the game.

See Citizens United v FEC. Basically, it was ruled that corporate lobbying counts as free speech under the 1st Amendment.

Companies tend to donate to political candidates so that those candidates, upon being elected, propose and vote in legislation that benefits those companies or vote out legislation that doesn’t (e.g. oil companies and climate change policies)

Edit: a detail that was implied but should be noted
