Github fediverse alternative
  • AFAIK Gitea incorporated as a for-profit (which was supported), but there was some perceived(not intended to throw shade on any side here, just keeping it neutral) shady-ness from the perspective of the community. You can read more here in the open letter: https://gitea-open-letter.coding.social/

  • What streaming services do you pay for?
  • The streaming services I do pay for are mostly music, or smaller stuff I want to support.

    • Spotify
    • Roon (not really a streamingservice, but it lets me stream my music?)
    • Nebula
    • Youtube premium
    • Draken film (Swedish streaming service for art/independent film)

    I'm thinking about grabbing a Deezer or Tidal as well, as they integrate very well with Roon

  • Majority of gamers play with subtitles turned on
  • And I feel this is an escalating problem. Sound mixing is generally horrible in both games and movies/TV. Unless you blow out your speakers during the higher peaks, you've got no chance of hearing dialogue.

    Does anyone have any clue to why this is such a well-spread phenomenon? Why is it like this? I mean, I get it (kinda) at a cinema, but I think it's way overplayed there as well.

  • Open source video games
  • A lot of good tips here, but you should have a look at Endless Sky! Really cool space game

  • Paid maternity leave is a thing
  • This is old and/or incorrect. Sweden should really be included, since we have 480 (~70 weeks) days of paid leave for one child. Finland and Denmark has 50 weeks, and Norway has 59.

    In a household with two parents you get 240 days each, and if you're a single household you get all 480 days.

  • Reddit is restoring deleted posts
  • What script are you using to mass edit? Even if they revert it, I would like to try.

  • With Reddit officially going insane I am glad that I am here
  • Very much. This feels a bit like the internet of old, before we all got tunnelled into giant socmed monoliths.

  • Still, better than Emacs
  • Any other type of program is ruined the more accustomed you get to vim.

  • Still, better than Emacs
  • This is the way!

  • What's the best place to get news now?
  • I very actively followed news and politics a couple of years ago, and had been doing that for a long time. One day I just got completely fed up, and stopped. And holy shit, I've been so much happier and harmonious since then. Strongly recommend, 5/7

  • Spotify Alternative for streaming server
  • The only thing I can think of would be Roon. Some drawbacks though. It's proprietary and it's a paid service. It's very, very good for playing and streaming local music though. They put a lot of work in to their metadata, and do have recommendations in place. You can also get artists/songs/albums like this. There's no curated lists yet, but AFAIK it's in the pipeline.

    I use it for all my local music. Both at-home and outside streaming work great. There's still some work for them to do with tagging more obscure styles correctly, like Future funk.

  • Uh oh, did he just get hired at Reddit?
  • F moment

  • Hello from kbin ^^
    But yes, totally agree. I really like the atmosphere here. I've been keeping tabs on Fediverse ever since Matrix started becoming a thing, but this was the push I needed to get into it. And in many ways it feels like the internet of old, before we all consolidated to huge social media sites. But better. I like it.
