Me. I support this, and I did for over a decade. If you don’t use windows there are more performant general purpose media players than VLC. Anybody who’s been reviving old hardware with Linux knows this.

You sound like you suspect that people want to dis VLC. That is not the case. I’m sure VLC has valid use cases even on Linux, and it certainly is a marvellous piece of software in its own right.

Now go away, you silly person.

They are. Taste and color.

Both: ssh config AND your fancy gui. Because most secondary and tertiary apps recognize the ssh config aliases. I know first hand Gigolo does.

Or your file manager: enter sth like sftp://user@host_alias/home/user - after success, create a bookmark.

And most secondary apps, e.g. git and sshfs, even Gigolo, recognize these aliases. It’s the best.

I want to know only one thing: is it based on mpv?

How do you prove a negative?

Obviously let it dry first, then use fixative spray? Not that I’m an expert. Or make finding the preservation part of the artistic process. Alcohol? Lemon juice? Ashes? Lime?

edit: what are you planning to paint on?

BTW painters of centuries ago used lots of organic materials even from animals, might want to check out if they had some tips.

You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me, 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

Ha! Butterflies!

You remember the video where someone filmed the rainbows a sprinkler made in the sun, and claimed it was proof that “they” are poisoning our water?

Maybe in some country/countries. In others, it is extremly uncommon. Actually.

TIL that’s a thing. Eww.

Different article, but the picture just makes me so happy:

Or a nice prompt that creates a distinguishable marker across output.

Oh, thanks for pointing that out… my head was just going “Fuck Sam Altman … Fuck Sam Altman … Fuck Sam Altman … Fuck Sam Altman … Fuck Sam Altman …” —

Colors. And a nice, readable font. Make your terminal pretty so you feel good every time you interact with it. Think about window dimensions (I personally always find the standard 80x24 too small), maybe set up some manual tiling so you can have two terminal windows fill your screen. Use the keyboard to move around your desktops.

But mostly, colors.

Nice list. Would be cool to have one specifically for the prehistory of food.

Etymologically bread is not a native word in my current home country; but I just looked it up, they did have both flat and raised breads before, just called them differently.

Hard disagree, at least wrt my own dreams.

I often remember them right after I wake up, but they tend to float away pretty fast. Trick: write them down immediately. You might be surprised how good some of them actually are.

And from time to time I have dreams that stay with me, for days, even if I didn’t write them down.

I know artists that use their dreams, one singer basically just recites them. It’s amazing.

Thanks for clarifying!
