Arch Stability
  • Been running it for about 6 months now with no issues apart from a weird display issue when I go full screen in YouTube in Firefox on one display and the other display goes all white except for a couple of glitchy flickery areas, but I think that's more Wayland/plasma 6 related.

    I will say that I've worked with the Linux command line for years now so I may be slightly more technically capable with it in general than a complete newbie but I think most other people here on Lemmy have a similar level of experience as me.

  • 'Several' injured after seaplane goes down in Vancouver: police
  • I was in coal harbour one day last year and spent a while watching one of the sea planes taxi and take off.

    At one point it had started gaining speed to take off but had to cancel at the last minute because someone in a kayak drifted in front of it so it turned around and had to do the whole thing again. There were tons of other craft out on the water too, and I found it kind of crazy that it's being used as an airport considering how busy and chaotic it seems to be.

  • Spotify CEO sparks backlash after social media post that claimed the cost of making "content" is "close to zero"
  • Oh, that's cool then. I'll have to go back and take a look as I hardly use the app.

    I guess if the new company fucks it up (which lets face it, is a given) at least you get to keep the music you've already bought which is more than you can say for Spotify.

  • Spotify CEO sparks backlash after social media post that claimed the cost of making "content" is "close to zero"
  • I like what Bandcamp does, but I don't necessarily want to have to download every song/album I buy off there and store it on my phone, or open the app and manually select a song or album one at a time to listen to.

    I wish there was a way to build playlists, or even a full featured streaming service similar to what Spotify offers that would pay artists a respectable cut for streaming but not necessarily purchasing albums.

    It would be nice to have that option but I suppose there's probably arguments against it, I'm not really that familiar with all the pros and cons from the artists' perspective. Even just a song radio type option like Spotify has would be great, because I do find a fair bit of new music that way.

    Also, in case people aren't aware, Spotify was sold to Epic games a few years ago, and they sold it on to a music licensing company who then laid off 16% of Bandcamp's employees. So I'm not sure how much longer it's going to be a good place for indie musicians.I guess we'll see though.

  • Tesla to lay off everyone working on Superchargers, new vehicles
  • There's been some discussion over the years that Tesla never seriously tried to make the battery swap work, that they did it to claim subsidies from California which they subsequently never returned to the taxpayers.

  • Regurgitator - Epic [2024, Australia, Hiphop]

    Regurgitator formed in Brisbane, Australia in the early 90's and released a couple of albums that have since gone on to considered classics, among many others.

    Their output is extremely eclectic and all of their albums straddle a wide variety of genres, although their usual touchstones are punk, hip hop & 80's influenced electronic music.

    A useful comparison in terms of their approach is Ween, as they'll often hit a genre so specifically that it verges into parody and their lyrics are often highly satirical.

    What're some of the dumbest things you've done to yourself in Linux?
  • If I've been repeatedly rerunning commands via ctrl-r'ing back through my history, I'll start getting careless and more than i should have I've accidentally hit enter twice on the wrong command without pausing to double check first. Sometimes to less than desirable effect...
