Oof. Luckily it seems to only be DNS blocks for now.

For the longest time I’d use MP3tag in Windows, which is still a great tool, runs great in Wine, and it can do some of the same things like look up artwork and in particular rename files based on tags.
But less than a month ago I downloaded Picard and have been getting into using it, and the workflow is quite strange. But it works. And I can recommend it.

To be fair, since that time, which was probably close to 10 years ago, I’ve since found out that I have autism and ADD (diagnosed last year), and I’ve found that I’m quite sensitive to a lot of medicine, meaning it’s possible I was overmedicated on sertraline. Or maybe it’s the opposite, that because of my alexithymia, meaning the few feelings I had was dulled incredibly, and the other feeling I wasn’t feeling was turned to practically 0.

I’m very happy to hear that it helped you though. Where I live I doubt I’d had access to buspirone anyway.

You know the sayings: “We’re standing on the shoulders of giants” and “he walked so we could run” etc.

I think the most suicidal I’ve ever been was when I was on sertraline. It dulls EVERYTHING. Orgasms was close to impossible, and if you got them: *ZAP* “icepick to the brain” kind of headache.
I get why a capitalistic society prescribes medicine like that willy-nilly, it’s easier to have zombies just doing their tasks than actually looking at the problems causing depression in the first place as OP’s meme hints at.

The only medicine that has actually helped get out of a depression spiral is an ego death dose of psilocybin. Ego death does something to you, like it’s a full brain reboot. You forget what trivial problems you have doing death circles in your mind, and you remember you’re part of nature.

Mind you, I’m not recommending shrooms, in fact I’m pretty scared of them even to this day. I’ve only taken bigger doses less than 10 times in my life as it’s definitely not a party drug.

This is the kind of shit that either gives you a raging authoritarian boner or like in my case, radicalises you toward anarchism, because fuck the state, fuck absolute power.

English is a garbage language. You can’t tell me '90s makes more sense than 90’s

Yeah, unfortunately there’s no inverse mouse cursor theme. I loved it on windows as well. What I’m using now is this “Hackneyed high contrast cursors” theme, the green one to be specific, and I absolutely love it.

I don’t actually know, but I assume mouse themes are universal? Or does KDE mouse themes now work with Cinnamon?

I read that there’s an extension for Cinnamon that does the same, although I also saw a bug report that it might be broken, idk. Worth a shot. Here’s how to enable it.

If I had a better brain I’d be writing like Arya here. Loved the little references to DC++ and Fallout: New Vegas.

Also, it’s sad it’s only now I realize what kind of guy DHH is. I’ve seen him a few times talking with Primeagen, so that was the extent of my knowledge about him up until now. And sad that Brodie Robertson is helping sanewash him, although I think Brodie is pretty oblivious when it comes to politics.

I go out of my way to buy stuff in mason jars. They’re so handy and of course chemically inert. No microplastic worries. Also great for fermenting my own stuff!

Thanks!

I literally have to trick myself every morning. Like, I’ll start with: “I’ll just wash my face. Maybe my ears as well…” and then “Might as well wash the rest of my body…” and then realize it’s easier to just turn on the shower at that point.

It comes as no surprise that the flatpak version of freetube doesn’t like using an external player. I tried giving access to /usr/bin via flatseal, but alas.
Installing the real version it works though, but seemingly Fedora’s current version of yt-dlp doesn’t seem to cut it anymore. There is a newer version on yt-dlp’s github though, so getting that and overwriting the installed version in /usr/bin (don’t forget to make a backup, otherwise there’s sudo dnf reinstall yt-dlp) that does the trick.

The sponsorblock plugin is an excellent shout though, I hadn’t heard of that for MPV, then again, it’s rare for me to stream directly from youtube.
But wait, doesn’t yt-dlp already have sponsorblock support? I guess it’s better to get the whole stream and then do player based sponsorblock stuff.

Let’s not forget that the original London bridge was shipped brick for brick to USA.
I feel like that was their way of saying: “We could have if we wanted to…”

I think it went like this: I was sorting by “top hour” and all I saw was this one person’s NSFW posts. I looked at their posts just now and it looks a lot less chaotic than what I branded them as originally, but you know, all it take is just one bad day on main.

block the shit out of people who you know are problems

I moved from Digg to Reddit over ten years ago. I was on Lemmy for a while more recently and then Digg rose from the ashes a couple months ago, but I’m realizing I like Lemmy/Piefed much more.

New Digg is supposedly going to use AI for moderation, so why would anyone want to move back there?
And I’m in the same boat, originally fled from Digg to Reddit. I still remember how much I hated how Reddit looked compared to Digg, which is funny, because even though I no longer have an account on Reddit, I still browse certain subreddits there from time to time and I will just not let go of the old.reddit.com layout now.

I used to feel dread when I logged into reddit and saw that someone had replied to something I wrote. I no longer have an account there, and I even went for the nuclear option of overwriting all my old messages,

For me personally it helps that I’m on a dedicated instance for Danes, so that’s kind of like a safe haven, or like a kiddie pool where it was easier to get to know lemmy at first.

I no longer dread when someone replies because most of the people here on lemmy aren’t assholes. I think it’s because there’s this barrier to entry which filters out a lot of people, or maybe it’s that the assholes are looking for fights to begin with and is therefore attracted to the biggest platforms?

With all the glowing reviews I’ll probably go with Aegis then. I had been looking at FreeOTP and FreeOTP+ as well.

Yeah, I really shot myself in the foot when I originally went with Authy. I remember looking around for an alternative to Google Authenticator back in ~2014 when I got my first smartphone, and Authy was recommended at the time. Had I been more worried about FOSS back then I might’ve picked a better solution.
