• Lo-fi hip hop instrumentals. Think Nujabes and related producers or MF DOOM and Madlib beats.
• Jungle/atmopheric DNB. NOT breakcore because I know electronic fans are rabid about genres and categories.
• High paced rap and rock/metal. Counter-intuitive for studying but great for physical exercise. This is mostly newer style rap.

I literally cannot use Linux at the moment due to incompatible software, as much as I love Linux and use it on every other computer I own.

These posts about Windows and other mainstream platforms are helpful or interesting for some of us, I wish people on Lemmy would stop shooting them down just because they don’t like Windows/Micro$oft.

This has been a long time in the making…hopefully Firefox will see a market share increase. Google is doing this right as they get slapped by an antitrust ruling ironically lol. If you haven’t already just go ahead and switch, if you like Lemmy you’ll probably like Firefox as well.

Side note: I try not to be negative here, but this would be a great time for Mozilla to get their act together as an organization. Love Firefox and the idea, but Mozilla has been pissing off the FOSS space for a while now with their decisions. If they’ve improved in recent years, disregard this.

Eh this is the same guy who has promised real self-driving cars within 2 years…every 2 years. I’ll believe it when I see it.

(also why is OP being downvoted for posting the article, it’s news and from a reputable site)

Preposterous. Sounds hilarious, and looks/sounds very sophisticated in a good way.

Windows 10 was half decent as an operating system to be honest, just doesn’t stack up to 7. 8/8.1 is where the enshittification began and it continued with 11.

Somebody here on Lemmy sent me a message calling me the hard R (I’m Black) after posting a pro-LGBT comment.

I read the message, marked the notification as read, and closed my Lemmy tab. Problem solved, no response needed. Just ignored them.

This person was banned from their instance on the same day.

A bit of a rant here.

Recently joined the wider Lemmy community (coming from kbin.social, o7). I like it, but the constant negativity and fear mongering/bait in large communities keeps me from engaging more. I just kind of wish there were more relaxed communities like how niche subreddits can be. I’ve seen a lot more arguments here than the kbin-specific communities or even Reddit honestly.

I’m going to continue using Lemmy at least for now, but I just hope this place can move past the negativity that plagues major social media platforms already. I get everybody has their views, but is it a requirement to share them every comment/post? It’s all jokes and no seriousness on Reddit to all seriousness here. Not very enjoyable. Feels like a lot of the users who created cool niche communities after the Reddit exodus got driven away by the negativity and frivolous downvoting.

I’m conflicted when it comes to mine so I’m just going to throw a few out. It’d take me forever to make a definite choice:

• Code Geass: Ridiculous plot and Lelouch is such a well written character
• Initial D: I love cars, the soundtrack, and the added dynamic of relationships on top of racing and dreams.
• FLCL: Soundtrack, animation, and how it makes 0 sense as a plot device
• Vinland Saga: Season 2 (and the Vinland Arc in the manga)
• Samurai Champloo: I like hip-hop, cool samurai, and long journeys. The ending was one of my favorites in any anime because of how simple it was

So glad to be hearing actual good news for once.

Happy Pride btw

Honestly surprised at the amount of arguing over iPhones and Androids here, its 2024. It’s not that deep.

Seriously, of all things tech news related nowadays, green and blue bubbles are a non-issue. If someone has an issue with it, it’s probably worth not making it your issue as well and just walking/swiping away to find someone else to talk to.

I consistently talk to iPhone users using SMS. Besides from the occasional picture compressed into oblivion, nobody cares enough to even make jokes about the phones we are using. At the end of the day, it’s just a phone.

I love guitars (I own two, though I’m an on-and-off casual player) and I have a few friends who are also into guitar-made music. Other genres like hip-hop also make use of guitars on occasion as well. They definitely aren’t as popular as they once were, but they still have a fandom in Gen Z.

Cheap scissors for your car. You never know when you need to open something that would be difficult to do with your hands for whatever reason.
