SuperSpruce,

Just price it right and people will rent. For a single person this is all they really need.

SuperSpruce,

Or just the 10 commandments translated to the language taught in language classes. Seeing the phrases drilled down into your head for years in another language is interesting.

SuperSpruce,

Not that much when the weather is great motorcycle riding weather, but I’ve just gotten to level 16 in Palworld and beat the first 3 boss fights.

SuperSpruce,

What is this equation? When I see 1/(2πi) I immediately think of inverse Fourier transforms but the DT (instead of dΩ) shoots that down, then I see strange nested logarithms.

SuperSpruce,

Forgot to mention the rapidly expanding metro

SuperSpruce,

It boils down to two broad categories for me:

  1. How locked down the OS is on iPhones and iPads. We’ve seen recent progress (Safari extensions, retro console emulators), but we’re still far from a serious OS. iOS still lacks a proper file management system (especially for playing back local audio) and no side-loading is still a deal breaker.
  2. Obscene markups for easily accessible parts. Apple still believes 8GB RAM is worth $200, and they believe 1TB storage is worth $800. I’d rather just get something with replaceable RAM and storage.

The anti-AI sentiment in the free software communities is concerning. (lemmy.world)

Whenever AI is mentioned lots of people in the Linux space immediately react negatively. Creators like TheLinuxExperiment on YouTube always feel the need to add a disclaimer that “some people think AI is problematic” or something along those lines if an AI topic is discussed. I get that AI has many problems but at the same...

SuperSpruce,

Is OpenRecall secure as well? One of my biggest problems with MS recall is that it stores all your personal info in plain text.

SuperSpruce,

Natural Gas companies: No, MMBTU/scf or bust!

SuperSpruce,

This is why I don’t use Adobe.

I’m so glad I saw the red flags from earlier and decided to stay far away from anything Adobe.

Anyways, this is the new business tactic. Start stealing confidential information by somehow forcing a new ToS change or update.

SuperSpruce,

Thought the upside down American flag was just a Hexbear/tankie/communist thing.

SuperSpruce, (edited )

I never knew the word was used as a slur or had sexual connotations. I thought it was a verb akin to “nerf” or “cripple”, as in “Windows 11 gimped the taskbar functionality.” I guess this word is still bad, as I want to enhance, not “gimp,” my pictures.

SuperSpruce,

I’m gonna assume you’re actually in the GTA in Canada because there are no states in the Midwest USA where lane splitting is legal.

SuperSpruce,

That’s an interesting take. I enjoy riding due to the full control of my machine and piercing through the wind while zooming through the landscape. And the best part is when there’s some nice curves to corner through. All of these reasons would only be enhanced with less cars on the road.

SuperSpruce,

From my experience, while LXQt uses ~20-25% less RAM than XFCE, it runs way faster and uses less CPU than XFCE.

SuperSpruce,

The Twitter alternative created by the original creator of Twitter

SuperSpruce,

This is one of the areas I see this whole “AI” thing being super useful. It could probably transcribe the video, separate the text into coherent sections and paragraphs, and take stills from the video as pictures. If the AI is smart enough, it could selectively pick out the right stills.

SuperSpruce,

I’ve finally began to play Palworld, which was on my bucket list for a while. I’m still a noob that’s level 8, and I don’t know how to make my pals in my base do specific tasks (planting instead of grazing)

SuperSpruce,

I’ll try to do that. Thanks for the tip!

SuperSpruce,

I don’t think Olive is a good alternative to davinci resolve. First, nothing is good if it crashes a lot. Second, Davinci Resolve is feature rich and super powerful, while Olive is not. The closest FOSS alternative is Kdenlive, but I’d recommend finding a distro that can run Davinci itself, as Davinci does have a native Linux client for some distros.

SuperSpruce,

Quick correction: Canva is web based so you can use it on Linux no problem.

For me, the Windows software I use are:

  1. Musicbee
  2. Davinci Resolve

That’s pretty much it. I could definitely switch to Linux full time, but Musicbee is soooo good that it feels like a sacrifice.

SuperSpruce,

Does it support custom playlists where you can “weight” each track and pitchshifting/time stretching? If so, this is enormous. Of all software, it’s Musicbee that’s keeping me tied to Windows more than anything else.

SuperSpruce,

I’m no Linux expert, but I’ve never had any problems with sudo, it just works. Shouldn’t systemd have higher priorities on their mind? This feels like change for the sake of change. And if this does happen, I sincerely hope that it just works, like sudo.

SuperSpruce,

I currently use a 2021 Asus ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition and I really enjoy it. It’s a bit pricey at $1650 MSRP but it comes with a high end all AMD 5900HX, 6800M, 2 SoDIMM slots, and 2 M.2 slots. Plenty of ports: 3x USB-A, 1x USB-C, Ethernet, HDMI, headphone jack, and power jack; I’ve needed all of them and it’s just enough. Quite good battery life for a gaming laptop and supports USB-C charging. I currently dual boot Windows and Ubuntu. Biggest flaws are the preinstalled SSD is crap and there’s no webcam.

SuperSpruce,

Hey, Alphabet!

Want to know how to make a lot more money while being seen as the good guy at the same time, while not even lowering prices or adding costs?

Allow third party apps for premium users that can disable the BS

You will still earn the same amount of money from both free and premium users, while not being a dick. In fact, third party developers would be doing the work for you!

Additionally, having apps that can lower the engagement BS reduces your bandwidth costs!

You’ll get a crap ton more paying customers at the same time. I’d even become one.

SuperSpruce,

I don’t want to toot my own horn too much here, but I’m developing a card game that is much more roguelite than rougelike, with strong meta-progression. It’s all free and open source and playable at superspruce.org.

If you like strong meta-progression, you might also like incremental games, such as Cookie Clicker, Antimatter Dimensions, and Realm Grinder. These games are satisfying due to the pure progression you experience within them.

SuperSpruce,

Let me know how it could improve! I’m always looking to try to make it better.

SuperSpruce,

Didn’t Audacity already have pitch shifting? Or did they improve the algorithm? If the latter is true, this is very exciting to me

SuperSpruce,

One of the weirdest things I’ve noticed with Audacity is the file size of the projects. I have a project with 7 3-minute tracks and maybe 100 edits, and the file size is 6GB! Are the file sizes so large so that they can more easily upsell cloud storage?

SuperSpruce,

Audacity’s implementation is not just clunky, it isn’t good either. Compare that to Music Speed Changer on Android and you’ll hear a huge difference in quality.

SuperSpruce,

30TB? You’re in the 0.0001% for laptop storage. I have more than 98% of people and I have 3TB.

Not everyone is this fortunate. Some people have cheapo laptops with 32GB eMMC. Now, 3GB vs 2.95GB is still negligible, but 4GB vs 5GB is definitely not negligible.

SuperSpruce,

If you frequently use the software and there’s no easy alternative, is it really bloat?

SuperSpruce,

You said you love a system with lots of useful processes running in the background. My comment questions if these useful background processes are really bloat, at least in your system.

SuperSpruce, (edited )

People don’t have brand new laptops all the time. Often, they have crappy 10 year old laptops because they can’t afford anything better, especially in poorer parts of the world.

In MicroSD cards flash is cheap. But unfortunately, most phones don’t come with MicroSD slots anymore, and instead they come with huge storage markups. According to Apple, which controls a big section of the market, a Big Mac gets you a whopping 5GB of storage, that’s if you buy today. But with a 5 year old phone, a Big Mac back then would get you 1GB of storage that you use today. And in many countries, most people make less than a Big Mac per day.

SuperSpruce,

To be fair, I don’t expect the sequel’s base game to have more content than the previous game with all its DLCs, but I do expect the base game to have at least as much content as the previous game’s base game.

SuperSpruce,

I’m a nerd and I’d give up both motorcycling and gaming for a girlfriend.

SuperSpruce,

I can tolerate ads as long as it’s helping the creators and isn’t used to make the platform worse. The first condition is only sometimes satisfied and the 2nd is being straight up violated.

If they can fix how garbage search is and put the dislike count back, I’ll happily pay for premium as a thank you for making a great platform. But nope, they just focus on making the UI even worse.

SuperSpruce,

No no, you see. Its okay and normal to destroy your body for the glorious state.

The problem here is you enjoying yourself and experience happiness. Personal happiness is a sin in communism, because it might lead to thoughts of freedom and self-improvement, and thats the last thing the government wants. Just think of what it could do to the production!

/s because I know capitalism sucks, but communism sucks as well.

SuperSpruce,

Because Communist governments see any opposition to communism as a threat to their power, so they do not tolerate dissidence even if they claim to tolerate dissidence. It’s just another example of the paradox of tolerance.

SuperSpruce,

It might not be opposition to communism the way Marx envisioned it, but it is absolutely opposition to communism the way communist governments have envisioned it

SuperSpruce,

Look up East Germany for one of the milder examples.

SuperSpruce,

What is the best option if you wanted to run Linux on ARM?

These days I’m more interested in the ARM world rather than the x86 world because ARM is simpler, power-efficient, scalable from cortex M0 to X4 and everything in between, and I took a class on ARM assembly language. x86, on the other hand, is full of legacy cruft and complicated as a result, and x86 is power hungry. Look at the new Intel 14900K, it draws over 400W!

SuperSpruce,

I agree. Responsive web design can be tricky, I was banging my head against the wall for 5 hours trying to debug a mobile-friendly UI for my game.

SuperSpruce,

Not even Nazi Germany or Stalin’s Soviet Union had this arbitrary and stupid of a music ban.

SuperSpruce,

I’m not saying that Nazi Germany didn’t ban music, they absolutely did ban entire genres of music as well as many composers. But they didn’t ban music based on its basic qualities like tempo.

SuperSpruce,

Driving loses your perspective on speed because you’re in a big metal box. Being on two wheels can regain the sense of speed at lower driving speeds, but I’ve noticed after 6 months of motorcycling that even those speeds can begin to feel slow on a motorcycle, especially on long rides. Sounds like that’s my calling for the track :)

SuperSpruce,

I use it because a class wanted me to either use it in a VM or use WSL but WSL didn’t work and I figured it was easier to set up a dual boot than setting up a VM since I’ve installed Linux quite a few times.

SuperSpruce,

That’s it? That’s like at most $50 per person. And remember, money that is sent to the poor will be reinvested into the larger economy through increased consumption, or more sales for the employers.

SuperSpruce,

5, 8, and 9.

1 is entirely useless to me, so is 7 because water is my favorite drink. I do not wish to become a girl so 2 is also out of the question. 5 is useless, because it’s just a tautology. EDIT: I read that wrong (as “people who find you attractive find you attractive”), oops. 4 is only marginally useful, and 3 and 6 could be good but pales in comparison to the rest.

8 is basically a superpower that nobody else has.

9 would give me so much more time to do the things I like doing.

After rereading 5, it’s the best one out of the bunch. I cannot find any romance in my life, and this would get me 99% of the way to fixing this problem.
