Et la ligne droite, tout au bout entre les antennes satellite, les minarets et les grues, c’est la mer.

Je revendique pas vraiment vue-sur-mer, faut pas exagérer, mais j’aime bien l’infini à l’horizon, la courbure de la planète là au bout. Je sais pas pourquoi, j’aime bien.

La lumière est magnifique ici. Y’a un truc, en fin de journée, où les façades blanches deviennent presque rose que j’adore. Apaisant et vivifiant à la fois.

Même en jouet-tactile-13-pouces, toujours le Meilleur Clavier Ever. Bizarrement le trackpad est merdique et reconnaît super-mal les gestes pour GNOME, c’est la première fois que j’ai un thinkpad qui faich’ à ce niveau-là. L’intégration wacom, elle, est vachement bien.

Alors, space above and beyond j’peux pas. Ça passe pas, je crois que c’est resté comme un bon souvenir pour ceux qui l’ont vu à l’époque mais à découvrir aujourd’hui c’est compliqué.

Aussi, ils jouent comme des pieds quoi. Et en 4 épisodes, déjà, les ressorts sont tout le temps les mêmes.

J’attaque Twisted Métal. Un peu cheap et cringe par endroit, mais porté par le rôle principal et une dose de comédie ça mérite d’essayer un deuxième épisode, même si Madame Le Maire (ou assimilée) m’énerve déjà.

Depuis la page wiki à propos de l’Académie :

En 2013, l’académie se positionne contre la légalisation du mariage pour tous.

En 2023, la bourse Marcelle Blum est attribuée à l’Observatoire de la petite sirène, une organisation militant contre l’autodétermination des personnes trans.

…mais c’est une vraie cadémie française hein, le nom me chatouillait j’ai vérifié.

Moi je met mes t-shirts sur des cintres moi.

Pas vous ? (OK, j’ai pas de chemises et 4 pantalons)

The Connect app (Android) allows filters by both keywords and URLs; not only do I not see anything with something in the title that I don’t want to hear about, but also nothing from certain websites I don’t either.

Did someone say “echochamber vibes intensifies”? Yeah yeah, my eyeballs, my choice.

Welcome to… being a normal Linux user

Switching distro is something every user does, thinks about doing, then does it again.

It’s normal. You just discovered a new way of using your computer, and opened a ton of possibilities in front of you, from customising your current install to the death thanks to the choice in desktops and display managers to just slap an entirely different distribution on your machine. A ton of possibles.

Try them out! There’s Live USB for about every one out there, but my favorite way is to dual-boot and see fully how the install process turns out, how the software management works, how updates occurs etc.

You’ll notice a lot is the same, a lot is different, and most any feature from a distro can be slapped on another!

To give you a taste, try openSUSE Tumbleweed - not because I think you should switch to Tumbleweed over Ubuntu, but because it’s quite different in a few key points, and I believe it is interesting for you: there’s this Rollback backup feature, a beautiful and quite simple installer, a polished user interface, a different software format, and a powerful admin tool.

Have fun with your hardware. Now backup your files and go crazy! So many out there!

(I started with Ubuntu)

Connect is cool, no ads, buy-me-a-coffee support

It features powerful filters that allows me to stay away from current usa politics (by keywords) and from websites I wouldn’t consume content (by URL)

I find its layout more legible, be it overview or listing communities etc. Also features direct links to overall instances, ability to switch accounts or browse other instances as guest

Dev is open to requests / suggestions (and bug reports) in c/lemmyconnect, tho their availability is spotty

Still a pretty solid app, with these filters being the one feature I need IRL. Fuck trump, fuck x.com, etc etc.

Since murglar allows you to download and keep the music you are paying for, I’m pretty sure that’s completely illegal and could get you banned from the service

Which you’d then stop paying for

And turn to regular old piracy to get your music

…maybe someone at deezer, a service that isn’t even profitable, think that one a bit further, because I’m on murglar since forever (tho I don’t use it all the time, only when I need it)

Ultra-specific: soundtracks for theatre plays. I’m happy with the available vst’s, but I am not a musician, I don’t play instruments - I record people or I rip stuff & work from there. That said it means multi-band comps, tube-like preamps, parametric eqs, de-essers, echo/delays etc… It’s OK really.

Maybe all this is a bit like photoshop vs gimp: I mostly only ever used Ardour since forever and I cannot compare / suffer / get my workflow irremediably blocked because it doesn’t work for me like I expect it to.

Ardour is really a powerhouse now, and with the Pipewire audio stack, switching inputs or monitoring in every which way is just a breeze.

There’s tons of Linux musicians advice out there, including on, ahem, reddit. Yeah I know.

Now that we have Steam on Asahi my macos partition gonna get shrinked to minimal functional lol.

I ran into issues while exporting (rendering) with kdenlive, where you will notice available formats being different between the Mac version of kdenlive and the Linux one.

But to me it was a matter of compatibility, I don’t really care as long as I get useable files of sufficient quality, so I didn’t pay much attention, works-for-me style I’m afraid.

Same applies to hardware vs software encoding/decoding - the M chipset is quite powerful enough you shouldn’t have to worry about it in a pro context where encoding is something you gotta do and it’s doing it reasonably fast.

Just try it out, it doesn’t kill your mac install, and you can compare.

I use it everyday. Got it with Gnome, which is very mac-y but think ultra-zen, minimalist, early macos style. Also with the spinning cube and the wobbly windows, I just can live without these very important productivity addons.

YMMV but for my use case it just works, period - and my use case isn’t light-browsing-casual-text-editing but multitrack mixing with Ardour over Pipewire and some video editing on kdenlive. Oh and we’ve got steam games now lol, I just started Portal (unavailable on Mac haha) for 0.99!

Good thing about Asahi is that it is dualboot by nature, you won’t loose your macos partition for that pesky proprietary app (fuck u Qlab)

Try it out, you’ll love it if nothing specific arm64-related gets in your way. Software availability is great, there’s Ftapak of course for more stuff… It works and is painless to try out.

The Air macs are the best: light, thin, with awesome batteries. The only words of warning are about the reboot mid-process during install: Mac laptops tend to boot on any keystroke, lid movement anything so be sure to not touch anything & just long-press the power button 'til the appropriate screen shows up. That’s all there is to it, the only risky moment. Just (long-)press that button.

No comment on that particular service, but I just checked Murglar 2 on my phone and it half-works, not everything is available to play / download but I’m not locked out either

Edit: I updated the app and it is much better, everything I tried downloads

Je m’assied sur les bancs dans les parcs publics. Parfois avec un bouquin.

Mais il faut avouer que je suis presque vieux alors c’est dans doute normal (56).

Venir nous visiter ! Ben oui ça grandit ces cornichons, puis ça va s’installer ici où là et c’est parfois loin (Londres)

Mais ces vacances on se retrouve toustes plus-ou-moins au même endroit plus-ou-moins en même temps ! (Rabat)

Finished Warehouse 13. Not unwatchable, definitely light-headed, shallow entertainment. There’s a beginning and an end, nothing will break your appetite… Also not a hidden treasure or some sort if niche fabulous thing that only the true believers know about. Decent show from a period where scyfy was a thing.

Prius Dwellers are probably the most hardcore at that

These seats are more expensive due to the extra legroom. They tend to be the last ones available to people who didn’t bother to buy a specific seat on cheap airlines, so if you check-in at the last moment you may get some unsold “high value” seat assigned on your boarding pass.

Fuck airlines that make you pay to get a standard seat, quiet at the back of the plane.
