I can't make the jump from nihilism to absurdism (Update)
  • to me absurdism isn't so much about looking at existential meaningless light-heartedly as it is about reconciling with the notion of it—by spitting in the face of the universe's cruel indifference and arbitrarily inventing personal meaning.

    it's like aiming to live a life that you alone feel is purposeful just because you can, in spite of the will of any higher power or lack thereof that tries to rob you of it.

  • What are some games you're pretty sure only you have played that you recommend?
  • Blackwake. Super fun and unique team gameplay if you're lucky enough to join a server that isnt overrun with toxic gamers. or if you're lucky enough to play at all, since the game has been abandoned for a few years now and it's pretty much dead in terms of playercount. In my opinion though, it could've grown to become a truly incredible and timeless game if it weren't abandoned by the developer and left proprietary in an unfinished state so fans can't pick up development.

  • Best Android Music Streaming Solution? (Youtube Music w/ Desktop sync)
  • also, the sponsorblock addon works on mobile and there is an addon that allows videos to play in the background if you need that. i haven't tested this with youtube music in the browser but i wouldn't be surprised if it also worked.

  • Best Android Music Streaming Solution? (Youtube Music w/ Desktop sync)
  • pipepipe and rimusic is what i use. youtube in the browser is fine too, if you disable that "open in the youtube app" popup (firefox for android with ublock origin addon is what i use, although i have experienced some regressions with the ad-blocker not working after youtube updates something, but ublock is usually on top of it and fixes stuff quickly).

  • Jesse Welles - The Poor
  • love this one. i'm really impressed with his consistent level of quality on all of these original songs, especially considering how fundamentally simple they are musically.

    him recording banger after banger on his phone in the forest with nothing but a guitar and sometimes a harmonica while droves of industry plants churn out highly-produced slop in a vain attempt to make as many viral tiktok sound bites as possible is a prime example of the fact that good art comes from lots of passion and practice, not from access to expensive professional tools and resources.

  • If you're not using or somewhat into bicycles, why do you think that is?
  • i used to ride my bicycle every day but during the winter i decided not to get squashed by trucks and started walking instead (the sidewalks didn't get cleared, so i couldn't bike on them and i absolutely wont share an icy road with cars).

    but come spring and summertime, i just preferred to keep walking. i think it's mainly because it's more leisurely, which makes it easier to transition between work brain and leisure brain during the commute.

    on my bike i still mainly stuck to the sidewalks (which is somehow fucking illegal here btw) since at least half of all american drivers want to either maim or murder bicyclists on the road, but i have to carefully move to the road if there is a pedestrian on the sidewalk or whatever ahead of me. so even though while walking i still have to be on fairly high alert for the red-blooded american patriots who think the stop signs in residential areas are suggestions, walking is just a more pleasant experience.

    i feel incredibly lucky that i live close enough to walk and bike to my job, especially so considering how deeply carfucked my city is, so my heart goes out to everyone who is forced to endure commuting by car or playing chicken with your life against american motorists as a bicyclist. wear a helmet.

  • Boos for Israel’s entry at Eurovision rehearsal
  • I really don't think anybody had to do any hunting in this case.

    It doesn't seem like you were trying to be antisemitic or anything upon further inspection, but the phrasing and usage of the sarcasm tag is extremely ambiguous if not semantically incorrect. It initially reads as if "although I'm sure that's just a coincidence" was specifically the part that the sarcasm is applied to, in which case it'd just be a blatantly antisemitic statement.

    It's a simple misunderstanding really, but this is the sort of situation where you should just edit the wording of your comment for clarity, rather than try to defend it and argue with people who are just trying to call out antisemitism when they see it.

  • What could your distro learn from another distro?
  • I think NixOS would stand to benefit a lot by taking inspiration from openSUSE's YaST system configuration tool. I think that if NixOS had a well supported graphical interface for creating and managing the system config, it would become so much more accessible to a very wide range of users who never would have given it a try otherwise, which in turn would bring in tons of new users and developers who will want to improve nixpkgs, etc.
