Maybe like 30 hours. I was feeling depressed and didn’t want to eat at the time.

I like PipePipe. You can log in with a YouTube account (which fixes a lot of the YouTube blocking for me) and it’s a fork of NewPipe too (just like Tubular but it regularly receives updates).

But understandable if you wouldn’t want to touch it, Doesn’t it make sense to let each user on the Fediverse to choose that?

There are already two projects that mirror/bridge Reddit posts to Lemmy. Unsurprisingly, they have very little interaction right now. I’ve subscribed to some, and even I don’t interact with those myself. Not because I hate it though, but because I find no reason to.

Good explanation. I think many people miss out the point of Shinji. Too many people assume that protagonists are always people that you should aspire to be, but Shinji’s messed up self and traumatic past is something that still resonates with many youth today.

Not the craziest thing in this thread but inside a train, arguing loudly on the phone.

It sounded like the tourist was scammed or something.

Last time a similar question was asked, I responded with Perfect Blue, The End of Evangelion, and Love & Pop.

So this time, I’m going to suggest Sans Soleil.

Maybe a small condenser microphone. The Samson Go is a bit old (not that consumer-grade microphone tech has changed much) but it’s small and just plugs into a laptop with a USB port. There are probably newer small models that do a better job and I’m not aware of its existence.

I suspect a conferencing type product will have the same issue since it’s made to record sound coming from like two feet away from the mic

This is the case with dynamic microphones (the microphones typically used for live events), but condenser microphones are usually very sensitive and will pick up almost every bit of noise with enough gain.

I’ve seen like giant fuzzy mics used on movie sets - should I look for something like that?

These are condenser shotgun microphones. The ones used in movie sets use XLR and need some kind of audio recorder (you’ll be carrying a lot of stuff with you). There are small ones that use 3.5mm connectors though (usually made for cameras). You need to have this pointed at the sound source at all times (hence why you see people manually operating these in a movie set).

Anyway, I recommend looking into handhelds with built-in microphones (like the Zoom H1) so you can move it around easily.

Disclaimer: I’m not an audio professional, just an audio hobbyist who works on student films sometimes. :D

I tried to get into this game because I like Rimworld but damn is it so hard to learn. I couldn’t even get past the tutorial.

Gacha games.

I play Genshin Impact and one gacha is enough for me.

Mara

How was the concept first explained to you, or when did it click?

I don’t remember. We had classes throughout elementary school that taught us how to use computers. I learned how to read the news and use email from my mom. I learned how to play games like Silkroad and StarCraft from my dad. I don’t remember who taught me how to watch videos on YouTube. It kind of felt natural I guess.

Do you understand how insane it is to have the aggregate of all human knowledge — the only comparable thing once being a physical library or university — one search away? That it’s absolutely insane you can engage in a real-time conversation with someone on the opposite side of the world? That you can find niche communities in an instant?

No, not really. I never thougt about it that way until I was much older.

Were your parents super strict about internet usage? How quickly did you find workarounds?

Very strict. I could only use the internet if it was for school work during the week days. But during the weekends, I was free to use it however I wanted.

There were no workarounds until high school when I was free to play games and surf the web as much as I wanted any day of the week.

Qwant isn’t available in a lot of countries though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qwant

I have a few professors who have wikipedia pages if that counts.

Good work-life balance.

Political campaign ads. Not a product so it might be different. I remember watching one that took advantage of homeless people and it made my stomach hurt.

Nobody mentioned Tridactyl yet so… Tridactyl. It’s the best vim keybindings extension for Firefox I’ve tried.

RimWorld. It’s so fun watching your colonists at work, peacefully farming, and suddenly one of them gets hit by a chunk of steel followed by a hundred bear raid.

Very relaxing.

YouTube. Content-wise, there isn’t a better platform for videos. Except maybe Vimeo for indie films.

ArchWiki has a list: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Discord#Third-party_clients

Ripcord is really unique and it’s still my favorite third party client. Abaddon might be worth trying. Unfortunately, most other third party clients are wrappers.
