MusicBrainz is an open source database of music. ListenBrainz is an open source service that captures your listening habits, if you’ve configured your music player (or Spotify) to use the service. It’s similar in nature to last.fm’s scrobbling.

ListenBrainz has a feature where once a week it will build a pair of playlists for you. One is stuff it is pretty sure you will like (based off of what tracks you have favorited) and the other is more… experimental. Stuff it’s not so sure you’ll like but is similar to things you have listened to and liked in the past.

Professionals use Adobe software because it is what they know and because it is the standard. But there is no reason you need to use Photoshop unless you are working with a company that requires Photoshop.

Photoshop is just an advanced image editor made by Adobe. On Windows, Mac and Linux, GIMP is probably the most well known alternative to Photoshop. It can do roughly 99% of the things that Photoshop can do, and, more than likely, far more than you are ever likely to need. Even as a professional image editor or artist.

I’m sure that there are several options for iOS, but I don’t know them by name.

Recently, most of the music I’ve found has been something the Youtube algorithm has decided I need to listen to. Most recently it’s been the Andrew Sisters and before that it was SailNorth.

Other than that, ListenBrainz does a pretty good job of suggesting new music to listen to.

I’m no expert in the field, but under the right conditions, possibly. But that would also be incredibly unlikely. The oceans are so full of life that something would feed on the remains, and even if not it would be more likely to decompose than be preserved. Bacteria is everywhere, including in the ocean, and bacteria is a significant component in decomposition.

I believe the brine solution we use for preserving food is a much higher salt concentration than sea water.

Spite. Spite and rage.

Gee! Who could have predicted that! /s

Personally, Iranians hacking a bunch of computer systems are probably the least of our worries now. Jim Salter posted an image that makes a good analogy. https://fosstodon.org/@jimsalter/114730060651034011

Alabama here. Battery and mains powered ones are generally called weed eaters.

The gas powered ones are called a string of curses that would get me banned. Usually while trying to get them to crank. There’s a reason I went electric.

Micro or Kate. My needs are simple. Occasionally if I need something more capable, I’ll use VScode

If you have a favorite community you might take a look at the instance they’re hosted out of.

Beyond that, my general advice is to sort Lemmy instances by number of active users, then pick one that’s somewhere between the 10th and 20th largest.

Somehow I don’t believe them.

Where I live, roaches are particularly bad. Especially the tiny ones. The $100 I give to Terminex every quarter is probably the only bill I am very happy to pay. They do a good job.

It could be both you and your PC.

Depending on your specs, the OS could be poorly configured for your setup.

As for the Distro itself, I’ve tried it but the default UI didn’t work for me. If I remember correctly, it was Gnome based at the time and I kept fighting its opinions on how I should be working.

Solved the problem by nuking the install and installing NixOS with the KDE6 desktop.

Like others have said, your best bet is to just buy new a new scope mount and rings from any firearms shop. Easier and less headache. You will need to know your scope’s tube diameter.

However, if you are dead set on repair rather than replace (and are in the US), for oddball engineering projects like this I tend to use McMaster Carr. If they if they don’t have what you need I would be very surprised. They are an engineering supplier, and have prices to match. But they sell anything thats not electronics. Excellent customer service too.

For electronics builds or repairs, I recommend DigiKey.

Between the two you could build or repair just about anything.

I’d say no.

I don’t think they federate. Least ways, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a post from a bluesky account, on lemmy or mastodon, and SDF hadn’t blocked them server side last I checked.

I think they’re a bit like truth social, not federating and off doing their own thing.

I’m subscribed to the community !newcommunities@lemmy.world .Additionally I’ll occasionally browse All, but most of the time it’s from people mentioning a new community in a discussion.

It’s the content that makes a platform relevant. So follow the usual youtube call to action.

Subscribe, comment, share and post.

Don’t bother preaching, it’s a waste of breath and is just annoying to the average person.

If I remember the Halo books correctly (it’s been a while) the Spartan armor started out a golden color but dulled to green hue due to hits from Covenant energy weapons over time. Not particularly relevant to this discussion but I thought it was an interesting bit of lore.

I need to go back and reread them. Great series and well written for the most part.

Originally doom guy was just a face at the bottom of the HUD that grunted and got bloody as you took hits. The only images of him I remember was just a marine in green combat armor, not too dissimilar to modern real world combat armor, standing on a pile of dead demons and zombies(1993) and the 3rd person cinematics from Doom 3 (early 2000s ish?) where again he looked just like a normal human marine.

Halo come around in the mid 2000’s and Master Chief was never shown outside his armor or with his helmet off. Outside the TV show I’m not sure if that is still the case.

Not sure when the modern images of doom guy came about but I think it was around 2015. Probably not earlier.

Despite the timeline we currently live in, The Onion is not a reputable source of information.

Sadly The Onion needs to up their game. It’s sad that the NYT often reads like them.

Libre Office should work in most cases. In the handful that Libre Office can’t you might try installing MS Office through WINE.

One heads up, even MS Office on Windows has trouble with opening MS Office formats correctly between versions. Seems like every time they release a new version the format changes slightly but dramatically. The actual text is usually fine, but formatting is often borked.

A third option is to use Office 365. It’s browser based. It’s also a monthly subscription.
