alarm-clock-applet allows custom commands. So put systemctl suspend into a timer, bingo.

rtcwake to wake the computer up, for-better-or-worse the music will still be playing.

Someone else mentioned android, VLC there does have a sleep timer (just to stop the music) I didn’t see an equivalent option in the desktop version (at a quick glance) though.

In SMPlayer I do see the option ‘shut down computer’ as a sub-option for `close when finished playback’ (general options)

I just want Vertex shading metallic issues fixed. See my comment.

Wandersong or something idk haven’t played it yet

In this economy? They’ll probably use a wooden bat, charge too much, make me dig my own grave, make me attend my own funeral which I requested not to have, and then have the nerve to request a tip and/or review.

I guess I would boil it down to: I’m not using Linux on a touchscreen and am unlikely to any time soon. I’m not even sure if/when I’ll ever go beyond 1080p (and a small screen at that) because cost.

I don’t want a dock or full-screen apps menu. I don’t want to fix those (or missing features) using extensions. I do want to customize things*, but otherwise I don’t need my desktop to look new or exciting.

* I even made my own hyper-minimal XFWM window theme (which is honestly unneeded for maximized applications due to my XFCE settings anyway, but it does allow me to have a rolled-up music player always visible like an old-internet music widget).

Buttons maybe (double-click, hold-click) or via settings on the display? Otherwise I’d guess that you don’t (needing to buy+set up something more advanced).

I know on mine it doesn’t even have the option to turn off the throttle (though it is only 250w anyhow).

Yeah, something (Honda) Monkey-sized might be fine but yeah with all the extra work/costs I’ll just stick with the weak ebike I have already.

just introduce new users to GNOME, that’s perfectly intuitive and even looks great!

Gnome 2 sure, modern not so much. I mean when useful features are cut from the GUI it just means it’s harder to actually do things. Like removing “open in terminal” made non-GUI stuff more difficult (esp. w/complicated directory).

I’d say XFCE or Cinnamon or anything else like those are better.

Mine claimed it can go 50, but the charge indicator is usage-based thus (being inaccurate) probably shows the battery as lower than it is (even in PAS 1). That’s why the anxiety.

I don’t trust crowd-funding, particularly considering the publisher here. At the very least, they have 4 games on steam with mixed reviews.

Most people might not care, but also there was the Roots of Pacha dispute… plus the publisher doing unpaid promotion (using many accounts, and I suspect this isn’t great for devs). That and crowd-funding being a cornerstone of their business model (on top of community QA) on its own doesn’t seem right to me.

I’ve used OLED on phones (my current, free because cracked screen) and like the idea* but considering I have a super-budget desktop (old stuff, unlikely to upgrade) and keeping it mostly to free/old content I’ll stick to whatever low-tier 1080p displays are already in my home.

Maybe OLED multi-touch if it wasn’t an upsell and niche market, so realistically when you add in burn-in fear it’s either I get some second-hand laptop/tablet that has it (with a bad/no battery) or some new manufacturing tech solves it (either way, probably not for me in the next 10 years).

It might make more sense for VR immersion, though again between cost and specs (cost again) plus whatever lock-in nonsense (which I already saw of the oculus stuff with a family member who likely won’t ever unlock dev mode) probably not for me.

* particularly for the contrast ratio (off pixels), though unless you’re into horror stuff this seems like a bit of a gimmick (even space content is not a guaranteed fit). It’s either that or making my own OLED edits of movies, which I find unlikely to work well via a blind edit (as I don’t expect a script to be perfect).

I’m a shut-in and I’ll say it doesn’t help living in a sparse area with only a bike*. I usually just ride on the trail to a very close bridge, sometimes I go to the closest town over and buy a few things from the produce section from the local grocery store and that’s it.

Admittedly, I probably still wouldn’t be very social in a denser place (money, but also other issues).

* I don’t want to drive, though lots of ditches around here and there is no north/south trail. So it is a factor.

i think the significance of the ‘lemmy.world’ is the origin of the post… in this case the_picard_maneuver@lemmy.world posted it to sh.itjust.works

Close, it’s where the image is hosted. The lemmy.world bit is a link to the image. Just like how any website link will say the domain of the destination.

I mean it probably is where a user is posting from, but sometimes it is not (not sure why but sometimes non-ml users will post images from ml)

Some parts of those governments do have proportional representation (like Scottish Parliment where the SNP has the most representation).

Other than that, I would guess there are a lot of small reasons… like differences in structure/operation/rules, that recall elections are a thing, larger gov’t bodies, and election frequency. From the outside, I’d also guess that some of these parties do/have held power for a while until they mess things up and the voters switch it out.

Also a lot of the issue here is with US presidency, and the electoral college cements it even further. That is where it is the biggest inevitability as it’s a big race that largely decides the next 4 years (also a partisan senate and house can enable or stall legislature, also how the right stacked the supreme court).

This is also a long-term imbalance (as shown by the video I linked) that intensifies over time. Other systems having different factors may be what prevented it from being a huge issue there, and it probably helps that they are older/more-stable (and less individualistic) countries.

The two-party system is not fake, it’s a very real inevitability of FPtP voting.

For example: This 60-second animation shows how divided Congress has become over the last 60 years

Ignoring that also turns everything to the right (if not through actual voting, through lower turnout).

we have HTML5 now which is better than Flash ever was

In some ways, sure. In others?

Trying to download HTML5 games sucks (there is no container format). Trying to play them locally sucks too (simple http server). If preservation efforts here can match how it has gone for Flash content, it’ll likely be only thanks to web crawlers people are using now.

Vector graphics was a huge technical feature that (even if still technically possible) has been largely abandoned. Even ignoring visual style, it’s less data to load (esp. w/simpler stuff). Particularly for animations (even a 1min18s clip is ~5x larger when rasterized), it seems silly to me that Google didn’t attempt some sort of HTML5 vector video support (for an extreme example, see the 10-hour homestar runner complilations on YT) which could likely also be used (at least partially) for digital presentations. Vector being rendered natively at runtime means content creators(/platforms) aren’t required to export/store videos in multiple resolutions (which for individuals, might just mean not supporting the higher ones).

Also, WebGL errors and Unity DRM making it even worse, though I’m not sure how much those are still present. Personally I have lost WebGL game data (unclear why, thankfully this isn’t always important) more often than I ever remember with Flash.

He did say it, at least once. I know he didn’t mean it, but still.

just the ones they’ve interact with up to the time of the ban

I got banned from 10 communities on your instance (with no stated reason/expiration) and I’m pretty sure I haven’t interacted with most of those (EDIT: I’m remembering some now, though those were from months ago). So I’m not sure if I got marked by some bot or just said something some mod disagreed with.

This is not an appeal though as I don’t care beyond a casual mention.

EDIT: Actually it is an instance ban, with everything (no matter what instance/comm) purged.

Maybe check out Nim-lang? It does have mm (I hear arc/orc are good) though it can be turned off allowing you to manage memory manually.

I didn’t even mention that aspect in my top-level comment because the check engine light is burned out. The systems and access to them were a mess before, and now I’m expecting medicaid cut headlines (and/or dropped people). Which personally, the idea of interrupted treatment makes me more wary than no treatment.
