That sounds like some Lovecraftian story: briefly glimpsing knowledge beyond human limits, then losing it forever.

14·2 months agoI laughed and then was surprised by the comments. Damn, tough crowd. I didn’t think OJ jokes would still be so touchy in 2026.

2·2 months agoPlaylists are easy enough so far. It just depends on what app you use to access it, I think. I don’t know if there’s a limit. I’ve never looked into lyrics, but I would assume it doesn’t offer that unless it’s pulled with the metadata or something.

2·2 months agoI use Jellyfin for simplicity, which probably isn’t the most preferred service for music, but it doesn’t really matter if you’re accessing it from your choice of mobile app anyway. You can set it up to stream your music library to your phone anywhere if you want also. (Android Auto even has an app)
I’m not confident enough to open up my media server to the outside world yet because I’m still a noob at this stuff, so I just have my full library when I’m at home and anything I’ve downloaded to my phone while I’m out.
You can even set up family sharing - you just give them a login, and they have access to all the same music.

14·2 months agoThere’s always the in between “ipod-era” setup, which is what I’m trying to transition back to: ripping and collecting media locally, then listening to it on my phone without streaming.
I’m real! I’ve been posting daily here for quite a while now. Just my way of trying to support federated social media.
God damn it

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Ah, yes! You're doing a great job there. Thank you for the transparency.English
3·2 months agoYeah, being able to google stuff that’s not working has been a lifesaver for me. Or (and I know it’s not popular here) taking a snippet of some confusing output and giving it to an AI to have it explain what things mean.

7·2 months agoI just picked a random image of packages being updated.
Or if you mean the Star Trek image, it’s from an episode where Uhura and Spock are trying to fix one of the consoles on the bridge. ‘Who Mourns for Adonais’ season 2, episode 2.

15·2 months agoThe boot sequence is what I was picturing originally, but I didn’t know how to word that cleanly for the meme, lol.

14·2 months agoI’m trying! There’s a lot.
I missed a very important 96% shot in XCOM last night. I’m still thinking about it.
Unintentional, but that’s funny. I think I played a Lemmings demo sometime back in the 90s, but not enough to remember any specifics.

2·3 months agoI’ve actually never seen it before, it was just one of the top examples when I searched.
Looking it up now, you’re not going to believe this, but it’s because of Harvey Weinstein personally holding the film rights hostage. Somehow after a license expired, the film rights reverted to him, and he offered to sell it back to Kevin Smith at some unreasonable price that Smith didn’t want to pay. It sounds pretty ethical to torrent at this point.

10·3 months ago…but I actually like GNOME!
There are quite a few customization options for it too.

12·3 months agoIt really is. Every time I think “Hey, it would be cool if my desktop could have [blank]”, I look it up and someone has already had that idea and built it.
That’s the one!
