  • Is this a stable 545 release, or just another point release for the 545.23.06 beta?

  • Mister Bondman, please pay this month's rent. Also, there are noise complaints from the neighbors!

    So far these last two episodes have been B-story bonanzas, but I'm still enjoying the spotlight shining on the supporting cast for a change.

    • That reporter Franklin was really portrayed as a bit of a slimeball, wasn't he?
    • The Bondman segment just being him acquiring a queue of girlfriends that ultimately being his downfall was decent.
    • I liked the little omakes after end credits too, especially Anya's telepathy giving her a reason to never get in the pool again!
  • I tried both Lidarr and Beets before, but their automation tended to pick matches with a "eh, close enough" attitude, so I just decided I'd do it properly myself.

  • I tag metadata on everything with MusicBrainz Picard, and then store it in a /{Album Artist}/{Album}/{Track} hierarchy.

  • I kinda enjoyed them giving a bit more depth to Damian though; showing that his two friends are really there for him, almost to their own detriment, and that while he is determined to live up to the goals his father set for him, he might actually be willing to mellow out a bit from time to time.

    The lake was really nicely drawn too.

  • I would've suggested MusicBrainz as a metadata library to pull genre tags from, but I'm pretty sure beets uses that as it's source too. I tried beets on my collection, but ended up just using MusicBrainz Picard and tagging things manually because beets would basically pick the first match it found a lot of the time, and there was usually a more correct option in the database.

    As far as bulk downloading diverse music catalogs, I don't really know of any good sources, but there probably are music-focused trackers out there that could provide that. I've just slowly build my collection up album by album as I found things that interested me. Maybe check the likes of last.fm and ListenBrainz for most played music in their stats, and start collecting those?

    How do you intend to access your music collection? Navidrome? or are you just building up folders of music?

  • A dog!
    \ Draw eyebrows on him!

  • In case you are unaware, "poop knife" was a reddit r/confession post from a few years back that went viral, where someone admitted their family has a knife kept in the house specifically for when big 'movements' wouldn't flush, and he had just discovered that wasn't a normal thing everyone just has at home when he needed flush assistance at a friends house.

  • And it's written by Graham Linehan that wrote Father Ted, but I still think it doesn't feel Irish to me. Like, would you say that The IT Crowd was Irish? All three are Graham Linehan/Channel 4 creations.

  • As much as I loved Black Books, I somehow think of it as British instead of Irish? It has a slight hint of West-Brit to it 🤣

  • When I read your post and thought "Do we have any other good Irish sitcoms outside of Father Ted and Derry Girls?", I done some research and found this Irish Independent article listing their top 12 Irish sitcoms, and I'm now laughing away at how the article itself basically shite-talks the first 6 or so shows that they chose! 🤣

    As a footnote, I really need to watch "Moone Boy" some year.

  • I understand that, but I think they removed the security advisory that was previously attached to the libcue GitHub (that's where that CVE link in the post's first paragraph went) because the latest commits to the repo patched that vulnerability.

  • The link in the first paragraph of the blog post? I think they removed it because libcue has since been patched.

  • Oh boy the extension breakage whiplash is real.

  • they're a mastodon account @ tagging lemmy communities as a hashtag. It's not exactly their fault the title is borked, because they're submitting from a different platform.

  • As someone with a GTX 1080 running GNOME Wayland for at least the last four years, why is everyone claiming the sky is falling on Nvidia users with this change? Do you actually use Nvidia to be saying we'll have a bad time? Sure the support is miles better on AMD, but it's not absolutely borked. For me it's on par with my X11 experience, because both sessions have weird Nvidia support quirks tbh.

  • I've only ever had to deal with this issue when it comes to installing a demo of something. Generally Steam already knows if there is only a Windows build of a game or not and acts accordingly. If this is the thing that causes a bad impression of gaming on Linux, then you've probably already overlooked (or been blind to) other annoying situations.

  • "Linux" isn't one singular distribution. Arch is for people that have tried a few different distros, know exactly what they want, and want to "keep it simple" by having those exact features without any unnecessary bloat. They don't mean "simple" in the sense that any idiot could just instantly use it.

    If you want "simple" to mean "any idiot can use this" then maybe check out Mint, Ubuntu, or PopOS. Those have a nice GUI setup and sane defaults that should just boot into a usable system that people can go do their Facebook doom-scrolling in.

  • Maybe check this itsfoss.com list and see if anything catches your eye?

    I can't really suggest any specific themes; Every year or so I try a heap of different ones, they all annoy me in different ways, and I end up right where I started: using Adwaita again.
