Does she or he have a pet ? Just wondering.

When I bought my smart TV I've decided to not connect it to my WLAN and didn't plug in the Ethernet. So it isn't able to send information or install anything. Everything I watch on…

Maybe Wiegedood works for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7k8lkzp872M or maybe Wolves in a throne room would work for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsvFVUu9olw

There is a good song of a German singer / songwriter Funny van Dannen - "Menschenverachtende Untergrundmusik" (inhuman ? underground-music) which says basically the same thing. A G…

Wow - they are great. Thank you for that link! And I don't think it sounds any harsher than other hardcore punk in English.

I would say from a technical point of view vinyl is one of the worst for archiving purposes. It degrades every time you play it, it can warp, playing it back is error prone... The …

Sorry if this triggered somthing in you, but I really meant "shitty MP3s". I don't have got anything against MP3s in general, but back when I was buying MP3s (Amazon or Downloads w…

Bandcamp is my preferred way of buying music these days. The only advantage of physival media is the record cover. But I am really pissed if I can't download the album or if I am j…

I am sorry if this is not really the point of your post, but I am reminded of watching the movie "Meine keine Familie". https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2917962/ As mich as i know ther…

I've watches some videos on youtube of guys who try to salvage Tesla's. I am not sure if these are growing pains or if Tesla is just more interested in a model without independent …

I think this is pretty universal between languages that puns and double meanings are hard or impossible to translate.

Yes it does - but it's not as prevalent in humor as it is in the US. I'd say that most of these double meanings are hard to translate. At least if you compare German and English (t…

Yeah this joke didn't make any sense in German. The problem I see with this kind of jokes is that they can't be translated to German. e.g. another joke like this Did you hear about…

I am incredible happy that Unicode is the de facto standard and that encoding problems are (mostly) a thing from the past. But sometimes it doesn't work out and you still hve these…

Thank you - this makes perfect sense !

Can you please elaborate why gloves are bad ? I've never handled liquid nitrogen, but everytime I've seen someone handle it they wore gloves like these: https://www.2spi.com/catego…

In this case you can install https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/6/applications-menu/ to get something similar in gnome (but I have to admit that I've never used unity)

I know about all these problems, but if you are used to it is so convenient. For me it became the most important feature of a window manager / desktop.

The last time I've really tried out KDE (many years ago, in the KDE4 era) it didn't work and I had to install an extension (that didn't quite work for me) to get that to work. But …

I have no experience with Mate, but the feature I miss the most in the traditional desktops is starting programs by hitting the super (Windows) key and typing the programs. I know …

This is not my experience at all. I am using it on my first gneration i3 media center PC and it runs reasonably well. I don't use it for any heavy lifting -I am just starting brows…

I hardly use Spotify. I just use it if I don't want to buy a whole album or if I want to check out some new band. There is an ad every 3 or 4 songs - this seems pretty reasonable f…

I don't have Spotify premium - so the quality is 128 kbps. The app works pretty fine, but is absolutely slow on my (old and quite underpowered) living room PC. But on the other han…

For me it is pretty important. I am listening to full albums most of the time and don't like shuffle play at all. So I am looking over all artists / albums every time I want to lis…

does the web player still sound atrocious (free Spotify). Last time i've checked it came with memories of 96Kbps mp3s.
