Listening to that right now, coincidentally.

Patriarchy has everything to do with men, but at the same time, nothing at all in c/[email protected]

As a man myself, I fully agree. It's also exhausting as an empathetic man to deal with this pervasive pseudo masculine enculturation.

So now what distro are we running for LTS desktops? in c/[email protected]

I've found a nice home with Mint Debian edition. It has the right balance between stable and current that I prefer.

What's a band that has one album that is just about perfect in your opinion, but rest of their discography misses the mark with you? in c/[email protected]

I'm kind of curious, I've tried Seeds over and over, but it's unlistenable to me. Especially compared again Dear Science or Desperate. What is it you like about that album? I really want to like it because it's probably the last of what we'll get from them. Got any tips on appreciating it?

Is there an any FOSS application that allows streaming of lossless audio torrents, or just audio in general ? in c/[email protected]

Jellyfin does.

Effectively manage and store books/comics/manga in c/[email protected]

I use jellyfin to host everything; movies, shows, books. It can tag matadata and id most books fairly well. But do not use it's built in reader. I don't know about comics though. I can then easily download whatever book to any device connected to the jellyfin server and use local software to read it.

I usually just use librera reader as it's open source and highly customizable. But it does have it's glitches.

People who almost never games anymore what happened ? in c/[email protected]

Wanted to fully experience life!

Grew up gaming. Stopped gaming for twenty years. Now I game again. I've had a great time. Climbed mountains. Traveled. All manner of relationships. Built a nice career. Now I find I can enjoy games without that, I'm wasting my life feeling.

All humans "waste" time. It's odd to say reading is better than games. Or movies are better than TV. They're all just mediums to convey stories. And really, there aren't many original stories, just the same ones told over and over in different ways.

At least with games, you are actively participating rather than passively consuming. And yes I do read lots of complicated books, and watch fine cinema, and great television.

But I also garden, birding, botany, camp, etc.

What recent video game do you have buyer remorse for? in c/[email protected]

The deluxe remaster game of the year edition really fixed most of the original flaws with LMS. It's truly masterclass now.

Any classic B&W movie recommendations? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

All of these recommendations are great. I'm always pleased to see so many cinemaphiles. I like lists, and have found many of my favorites from them.

Ebert's Great Movies List is perfect.

The Criterion Closet Picks, see the greats talk about the greats.

The Janus Collection has a lifetime of stuff.
