Let's drink a stimulant so I can function better to keep the rotten gears of capitalism spinning, yay!

Coffee is meant to be enjoyed, it is meant to be brewed with care and is meant to taste good.

Take your time to enjoy a good cup of coffee, not a cup of go fast liquid. And if you don't like coffee go with another caffeinated drink you'd enjoy.

I simply refuse to view excessive consumption of caffeine for unviable amounts of productivity as "not substance abuse". I've done it for a whole year, don't do it. Enjoy your coffee even if it means waking up earlier for it. Life's short.

Tangentially related to the post, it is something I wanted to get off my chest

This would be a solved problem if federation between lemmy and mastodon worked better. Oh well...

Did they call the lastest version "Luna"? Don't they know AI can never replace the tech support you get from a trans hacker on Mastodon?

Homeworks are useless, school bad, Einstein had bad grades (no he didn't) crowd is very silent right now.

Maybe only allowing OC

May happen if we have copyright problems, but somebody else singing a song is usually fine considering the amount of covers on YouTube.

What about the platform to host the media

Another user suggested PeerTube. I will build a simple web page with submissions from each year put together in a nice way via embedded PeerTube players.

We could backup the videos to several instances, offer archival downloads, but the internet will probably do its thing and back it up thousands of times as soon as we upload anyways.

@[email protected] in the comment section pointed out that fedivision already happened in the past. It seems like fedivision worked fine with fully original content so I might just make the contest about original songs to save on copyright headache. I'll probably just call it a continuation of fedivision with the same name.

Regarding the Avril Lavigne lawsuit, it happened during the times when music industry was particularly being assholes, but I get what you mean: we can never guess how far billionaire protection ahem copyright laws can go.

django @discuss.tchncs.de

It does work good enough, but we can do simple HTML 5 video as a fallback. If we compress the videos for playback and provide a zip for full quality videos, I'm sure a 10 gigabit server can handle the load. Video hosting is really not a problem we can't solve.

Of course he has a drivers licence, he drove a Honda Accord

I absolutely lost it the first time he called me a nerd for using Arch and straight up started doing Fedora elitism lmao

okay here me out:

Pipewire is one of the best pieces of software I used. It has a cool ass patchbay and unlike PulseAudio I've never had it crash on me. It is the best thing that happened to Linux audio

I was blown away when I connected my phone to my PC through Bluetooth and phone audio started playing through my PC. It just worked without me touching anything

I also really like how "Linux Studio Plugins" are standalone apps that you can run. I don't produce music or anything but I still use stuff like equalizers and spectrum analyzers. It is insane how flexible the "each app has inputs and outputs you can hook together" architecture is.

PulseAudio probably also had some of these features but I never used those because pulse would fall apart every time I touched it. Pipewire doesn't

Broken Linux audio is about to become old news

I don't think TikTok community is compatible with the idea of fediverse

TikTok exists to give you large floods of endorphins via either an algorithm trained to your interests or by giving you big numbers. And this is not exclusive to TikTok, this is just how modern "social" media works, it's the sole reason why bluesky succeeded more than mastodon

Modern social media is mostly a hive mind of people affirming each other driven by algorithms. Fediverse on the other hand, always boils down to a old fashioned usenet style network made just so people can talk with each other. You can't really get addicted to fedi

I wasn't really alive during the wild west internet (im 19). I got into the net during the transition from forums to modern social media and reddit was my first social. I tried getting into facebook and instagram because everyone else was there but I just didn't like it much.

I don't know why but "the algorithm" is really boring for me. I only tried algorithm driven feeds on reddit (after u/spez) and on tumblr but the recommendations were always extremely "fake". Other sorting methods like "new" or "by most active" just feel more like as if there was someone on the other side of the keyboard

Show me how you never programmed anything without telling me

Software should be maintained, not built and forgotten about. Windows encourages the latter, which is just straight up bad practice

Besides, you can still see their post history simply by searching

"u/username" site:reddit.com

It gives people a false sense of security

My 8 year old lovebird died a few days ago.

His name was sherbet but the nicknames include: chicken, rodent, animal, (the) bird, birdhead, mango, weirdo... And because of that, now everything reminds me of him

I held his body in my hand cried for hours. We went to gradma's yard with my brother to burry him, I broke down crying while digging so my little brother finished it for me.

Our home is just too silent without him, I miss him so much

it's a parody of this poster from early 2000s

Linux kernel does not accept contributions from github so this repo was always like that

The only new thing here is this

I hate the fact that reddit has so much valuable data in it, like thousands of extremely niche subreddits and answers to your questions.

I wish someone could just mirror it all

I love how people put E=mc^2 everywhere

Like, why does Susan need that for a roating table? Unless the table is running on plutonium of course
