• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with so much that has been said here. VLC, Linux as a whole (or GNU/Linux, if you are such enclined) and many more. Obsidian is sadly not open source but its free and it’s absolutely amazing!

  What I haven’t found yet is a FOSS (or even just “free as in beer”) replacement for MS Project. I want to plan out a top level view of what we have to do as a team to reach some goal, assign multiple team members to one “task”, allocate a set amount of their time and see at what times we might be over or under capacity. The FOSS planing tools I’ve seen mostly work in “shifts” or let you assign one task to one person. But we’re in R&D and if I plan for 40 hours of “conceptual work” over the span of a month and assign Sarah and Steve to this with 20 hours each I don’t want to babysit their shifts. They will do the work when it suits them.

  The only one I’ve seen that could do what I need is ProjectLibre but the FOSS desktop version has been abandoned a while ago and is still very buggy.

  Sorry for placing this here but maybe someone knows something…

  Just shooting rich people into space (and letting them return) for no particular reason is dumb enough. We really don’t need you to make it even dumber.

  This sounds like something the Bojack Horseman writers would come up with.

  I love the idea of using a DOF effect in a drawing.
  Also the drawing itself is hilarious!

  lol I absolutely love it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you scream?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And a metal scream and a metal growl are also two different things that both exist. That’s why I assumed they were talking about the former. ¯_ (ツ)_/

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you scream?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not if done correctly. Metal singers do it all day long. It’s all about technique and heeding the warning signs when you’re not doing it right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you scream?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re talking about the metal music kind of screaming look up “vocal fry” or “fry screaming” on YouTube. It’s a technique, and it’s surprisingly not that loud. Like you wouldn’t use a fry scream to shout at your friend a block away but on a recording or through the mic on stage you can’t tell so it looks and sounds like the singer is screaming their lungs out.

  Also if you try it yourself make sure to stop before it hurts! If done correctly you can fry scream all day. If done incorrectly and ignoring the warnings signs you could end up needing surgery on your larynx. Have fun!

  Thanks fit this island of cute happiness among all the doom and gloom. This is nice.

  Dare someone smarter than me explain what the ever loving fuck is going on there?

  I remember that in some episode of Digimon some kid had one of those and back then I thought this was the most amazing shit.

  Also once you managed to get a napkin, they clean about as well as aluminum foil.

  Now let the mathematicians fight over whether you should approximate that as a “let’s assume a perfectly spherical cow” or rather as a… cube? A prism?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game of Thrones reportedly has an MMO in the works, nearly a decade after the last one was cancelled⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Imagine the money they could rake in with this if they hadn’t fucked up the final seasons. Instead this is going to appeal to a pretty narrow audience who sees the series for what it could have been.

  Okay but the jondoms exist, I’ve seen them in a store before. Does anyone know what their deal is?
