I use Exaile. It has queue(s) that you add tracks to, and the library search is outstanding. I have some albums with various artists, and Exaile can group the library by the album artist.

I used to have the files on my NAS, and “syncing” them via smb. Then I reinstalled my NAS, and for some reason decided to not install smb. I was tinkering with the idea of doing a small http server/client thing instead. But to be frank, my library never changes any longer. I just copy it from the NAS once, and that’s it.

I used a player called Listen back in the days. I loved that one so much.

I realize that it was dumb of me not giving more context. Sorry about that.

They talk about one of his posts on X, where he shares his appreciation for an interview between Tucker Carlson and Darryl Cooper.

Cooper claimed in the interview that the Nazis did not mean to murder so many people when they carried out the Holocaust and killed 6 million Jews during the second world war. Instead, Cooper remarked, Adolf Hitler’s Nazi regime simply was not equipped to care for them – and the podcaster blamed the British prime minister Winston Churchill for “that war becoming what it did”.

And then:

The billionaire announced in August that he was supporting Donald Trump as the Republican nominee seeks a second presidency in November’s election. Kamala Harris, the Democratic vice-president, is also running in the election.

Hey, read all the way to the end, they make a really good point. I could’ve copied and pasted it here as a quote, but I would feel bad copying half of the article. It’s not long

First time hearing about Briar. So it’s like Signal but can also be used via Bluetooth if close enough?

TIL that Mono is a Microsoft project. I always thought it was an open source reverse engineered .NET

I miss old Opera. I want it back

I do use EWW from time to time

There’s also LiteIDE

Aha, I see, thank you

+1 for LXQt. But what do you mean XFCE is not ready? Never used MATE, so I cannot tell, but XFCE seemed solid when I used it

I’m still trying out different editors from time to time. I always feel like they are lacking in some way in comparison to Emacs. Like, when there’s no key binding to focus the list of references, or one cannot navigate to the beginning of a block, or one cannot navigate by subword. Let’s not forget sexp. Cannot live without it. Or marks, for that matter. Or proper clipboard history that is properly searchable. It’s like the developers has not seen the light yet. Most editors are very mouse driven, and maybe does not focus enough on actual code navigation. I’m biased of course. Though, Helix seems cool.

Side note: Even though I use Emacs, I have nothing against Vim. Heck, I even use it every now and then.

This state-o-fart user-experience will transport you to the future of user experiences

I admit. This cracked me up.

I second Rawtherapee. I know there’s a lot of love for Darktable, but I personally find the results from Rawtherapee better. Both are great applications

My mind was just blown. Turning off Javascript works, doesn’t it?

Speaking of LaTeX, I really recommend LyX. You don’t need to know any LaTeX to use it, and the result is always satisfying

Ctrl + Y shall paste, and nothing else!

Using pCloud and is very satisfied. One can buy life-time storage if one prefers that over subscriptions, and it seems to be on sale almost all the time

Yes! I just could not stop reading this book. Stayed up way too late. Easily worth it
