Fun fact: the reason recipe books and blogs share these anecdotes is because you cannot copyright a recipe.

I mean the boxes for font and paragraph style are all dark when they should be light. I think it’s got to do with the system theme, I just wish I could selectively choose the theme for each application so dark mode doesn’t mess things up like this.

Which repository do you use? The F-Droid official one hasn’t been updated in three months 😬

The PC equivalent would simply be using Arkenfox with Firefox. If you want a similar out-of-the-box experience without having to tamper with it too much, Librewolf is also pretty good. There aren’t any real downsides to them not being the same, fundamentally they’re pretty similar and it shouldn’t impact one’s workflow across the platforms.

That is such a beautiful disc machine, I wish I could get one of those now

You say there’s no good Firefox browser for Android, but I strongly recommend you consider Mull. It’s pretty much Firefox w/ Arkenfox but for mobile and it works exactly as it should. For Mull you should add the DivestOS repository to F-Droid because the F-Droid one is outdated.

I like Fossify’s apps for phone and contacts. As for photo gallery, I really like Aves Libre, paired with Image Toolbox and Open Video Editor for light edits.

I don’t use an RSS aggregator myself, but Feeder tends to be rated well.

Dang, those things look like they’ve seen some use! I think the arms on my frames are about 2-3mm at their widest, and because the headphones are so compact, anything interrupting the seal in the slightest just makes a world of difference.

One’s mileage is sure to vary with the shape and size of their ears and their glasses, but for me it makes all the difference.

Once in a lifetime… As in you can do it once.

I’ve had a pair of the K240s for a while and I have to be honest and say they are my least favorite headphones in the collection. The soundstage is good, but they are totally bass-anemic. Vocals are clear on the AKG K240 but I feel like that’s all they really have going for them.

I don’t know which particular version of the K240 you have, I’m talking about the newer “AKG K240 Studio” that are rated at 55 ohms of impedance. It’s possible that older sets rated to be less sensitive have better tonal balance, but I feel these Studio ones are simply not it.

I will say, however, I used the K240s when I was hosting a radio show and they were phenomenal for that application. Being able to talk into a microphone while also monitoring levels and not getting that awful feeling of speaking while wearing closed backs was great.

At this point, I feel there are simply better, more balanced options that can offer even better soundstage with tonality that excels magnitudes beyond the K240. Sennheiser HD 6XX and Hifiman HE400SE most immediately come to mind.

I do have some offerings from Sony and Sennheiser, namely the MDR-7506 and the HD 6XX, and I have to say those are both amazing pairs. I’d have to give AKG the edge over the Sony ones though, if only it weren’t for the awful seal with the stock pads. I’m gonna give the Dekoni replacement pads a try and see if I’ll get better results. I’ll likely come back with another post afterwards.

My personal op-spec mostly includes partitioning my personal life aside from my professional life. Like most people, I have a job that relies on privacy-invasive software, so I do my best to keep that separate and containerized away from my private stuff. This mostly means using different web browsers for different things (i.e. Librewolf for personal browsing and Brave for work-related internet). My job uses Gmail, but I personally use Proton. Depending on one’s needs and available resources, you could even have separate devices for these uses (work phone and personal phone, work computer and personal computer, etc).

Awesome, I’m glad to help spread the good word! Fooyin is still in its infancy it seems, but I’m hoping we’ll get some more features in it soon- I’m hoping for spectrogram/waveform visualization as well as EQ.

I was really hoping you’d say it was Foobar2000! You can run Foobar2000 using something like Wine/Bottles, but the UI gets all screwy. Recently, somebody released a Foobar-alike called Fooyin and I love it! Here’s how I styled my layout:

Fooyin definitely has some growing to do, but I think it’s the best you can do on Linux if the goal is the ability to play bit-pefect music with a similar setup to Foobar2000.

Out of curiosity, what was that perfectly customized music player?

Haha I see it too!

I don’t know if you happen to have any other machines available to you, but I do recommend you consider giving it a go on a machine you don’t share with another person, or at least dual-booting on that machine. It could be pretty jarring to be dumped onto another operating system so quickly, especially as one works out how to use the programs they had been running just fine before.

I recently made the swap to Linux myself, and a dedicated laptop for that transition has made my life a lot easier. I still have my old laptop on Windows, heavens forbid I absolutely need it, but I do find some issues with compatibility. As another person has mentioned, Roblox does not offer native Linux support, which means you have to run a program that more or less tricks Roblox into thinking you’re playing on a smartphone. You can do the same for Bedrock Minecraft if you want to play cross-platform.

For a lot of things there are alternatives that tend to work even better in some ways. For others, there are workarounds. And for others yet, you just can’t use some applications you might have been using before.

Otherkin, or therians, are not a kink. They’re folks that believe themselves on a spiritual level to have the spirit of something else (animal spirits).

Hey, I only recently dipped my toes into Linux about a month ago and I went with Fedora, more specifically the KDE spin of Fedora. My experience has been fantastic- I’m not even dual booting and this laptop has become my daily driver! My computer seems pretty similar in terms of specs, it’s a ThinkPad X1 Carbon from 2017 that’s also rocking an i7 and 16gb RAM. I see a ton of folks recommending Mint or Ubuntu or Pop! as “Linux for noobs” but I feel like you don’t necessarily need to start there. I didn’t and I’ve been having a really great time!
