Hi, I’m sbird! I like to make all sorts of things!

we do not live in a perfect world and we will not live in one in the forseeable future…
- Comment on Why does Spotify sometimes play few ads but other times barely any? 1 week ago:
local music players are awesome! On Windows I like AIMP and Gapless is very good on Fedora Workstation and is what I use now to listen to music
- Comment on Does the average person know markdown? 1 week ago:
I would guess they know a bit about lists using “-“ and a few people might know about using asterisk to bold stuff, but other than that probably not.
- Comment on An alternative spelling of the alphabet that makes more sense 1 week ago:
Oh yeah it would be a nightmare for non-english speakers for sure. Interesting that German is more phonetically consistent than English (stuff like “Karl” make more sense now)
- Comment on Speak American 1 week ago:
interesting

phonetically it should really be “colur”, so I think “colour” is a decent compromise

there, I fixed it. Now it’s a bit more clear!

I edited my post, thanks for telling me :D
- Comment on A tool to compare different sans-serif fonts? 1 week ago:
looks pretty cool. Unfortunately I do not currently use an Android phone. My old iphone is still going strong and it probably doesn’t need to be replaced for a while.

- Comment on Let's put an end to the discussion; what is the best way? 2 weeks ago:
always using a bag clip. Reusing the bag clip if it needs to be eaten soon (e.g. at a party) since it’s less of a fuss to remove it.
- Comment on Why is coal and fossil fuels still used? 2 weeks ago:
not saying it’s important, but if you tell a meat-lover to give up meat they will say no. Maybe it wasn’t the best analogy…
- Comment on Why is coal and fossil fuels still used? 2 weeks ago:
but it tastes so good…
- Comment on Why is coal and fossil fuels still used? 2 weeks ago:
Money mostly. It generates a lot of profit and it costs money to switch. In many of countries oil, gas, etc. are like a huge portion of their GDP. It’s like trying to get people to eat less meat. It would be better and more environmentally friendly, but everyone is too dependent on meat.

vibes man
- Comment on Where do I go if I want to find someone to help me make an app game? 5 weeks ago:
I would encourage you to try to learn gaem development, it’s fun :D I’ve personally tried Unity and Godot and prefer the latter bc it’s oepn-source and I like the workflow but both are good.
Brackeys makes the best Unity tutorials and he’s starting to make some pretty good Godot ones too. My first games were pretty much following along the Brackeys tutorials and then trying to extend the game by adding more levels, gimmicks, etc. and learning a bunch of new things along the way. Some more Godot specific tutorials I like are GDQuest and HeartBeast.
Good luck on your game development journey! :D

ah ok
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 1 month ago:
interesting that keepassXC doesn’t need a browser extension. I might have to try it out, seems pretty cool.
- Comment on Here’s an idea 1 month ago:
Humans are imperfect and we must accept that.
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 1 month ago:
not to be that guy, but…
*you’re (IT’S NOT THAT HARD IT IS “YOU ARE”)
- Comment on Here’s an idea 1 month ago:
This is a really stupid idea, indeed. To be fair, the idea that the lowest paid employee should be some % of the CEO’s does make sense. Maybe not 10%, but a % would be better than minimum wage. It would also mean that CEOs can’t just keep on increasing their wages every year
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 1 month ago:
hell yeah KDE connect is great! I just use it for transferring files and my clipboard…
- Comment on Here’s an idea 1 month ago:
yeah this coukd be 100% abused.
- Comment on Here’s an idea 1 month ago:
Yeah, that’s probably why lots of companies have specialists that focus on managing the finances.
- Comment on Here’s an idea 1 month ago:
it is a really stupid idea, no wonder nobody does it!
