alarm-clock-applet allows custom commands. So put systemctl suspend into a timer, bingo.

rtcwake to wake the computer up, for-better-or-worse the music will still be playing.

Someone else mentioned android, VLC there does have a sleep timer (just to stop the music) I didn’t see an equivalent option in the desktop version (at a quick glance) though.

In SMPlayer I do see the option ‘shut down computer’ as a sub-option for `close when finished playback’ (general options)

You know, I’m somewhat of a coding enthusiast myself.

Difficult to think of projects that I want to do that are also viable for me now. I settled on Minesweeper (/a dragonsweeper-like) though I lost momentum as I got a bit hung up on how to implement it in a way that’d allow dynamic map sizes. I suppose I should just make it as simple as I can and then differentiate it later.

Mostly been ignoring it though, instead making efforts to organize my room. Any personal growth is good, right?

I would also like an excuse to make some polygonal art (2D or 3D) but I don’t have many ideas there either, and many ideas of which would probably be an insignificant amount of actual coding compared to animation.

Wandersong or something idk haven’t played it yet

I get what you’re saying (esp low-quality clip-art), though lots of clipart was actually vector art (like autotraced from physical art, giving some prominent styles) so would probably make for a better logo than what they generated here.

In this economy? They’ll probably use a wooden bat, charge too much, make me dig my own grave, make me attend my own funeral which I requested not to have, and then have the nerve to request a tip and/or review.

I guess I would boil it down to: I’m not using Linux on a touchscreen and am unlikely to any time soon. I’m not even sure if/when I’ll ever go beyond 1080p (and a small screen at that) because cost.

I don’t want a dock or full-screen apps menu. I don’t want to fix those (or missing features) using extensions. I do want to customize things*, but otherwise I don’t need my desktop to look new or exciting.

* I even made my own hyper-minimal XFWM window theme (which is honestly unneeded for maximized applications due to my XFCE settings anyway, but it does allow me to have a rolled-up music player always visible like an old-internet music widget).

just introduce new users to GNOME, that’s perfectly intuitive and even looks great!

Gnome 2 sure, modern not so much. I mean when useful features are cut from the GUI it just means it’s harder to actually do things. Like removing “open in terminal” made non-GUI stuff more difficult (esp. w/complicated directory).

I’d say XFCE or Cinnamon or anything else like those are better.

I’ve used OLED on phones (my current, free because cracked screen) and like the idea* but considering I have a super-budget desktop (old stuff, unlikely to upgrade) and keeping it mostly to free/old content I’ll stick to whatever low-tier 1080p displays are already in my home.

Maybe OLED multi-touch if it wasn’t an upsell and niche market, so realistically when you add in burn-in fear it’s either I get some second-hand laptop/tablet that has it (with a bad/no battery) or some new manufacturing tech solves it (either way, probably not for me in the next 10 years).

It might make more sense for VR immersion, though again between cost and specs (cost again) plus whatever lock-in nonsense (which I already saw of the oculus stuff with a family member who likely won’t ever unlock dev mode) probably not for me.

* particularly for the contrast ratio (off pixels), though unless you’re into horror stuff this seems like a bit of a gimmick (even space content is not a guaranteed fit). It’s either that or making my own OLED edits of movies, which I find unlikely to work well via a blind edit (as I don’t expect a script to be perfect).

I’m a shut-in and I’ll say it doesn’t help living in a sparse area with only a bike*. I usually just ride on the trail to a very close bridge, sometimes I go to the closest town over and buy a few things from the produce section from the local grocery store and that’s it.

Admittedly, I probably still wouldn’t be very social in a denser place (money, but also other issues).

* I don’t want to drive, though lots of ditches around here and there is no north/south trail. So it is a factor.

i think the significance of the ‘lemmy.world’ is the origin of the post… in this case the_picard_maneuver@lemmy.world posted it to sh.itjust.works

Close, it’s where the image is hosted. The lemmy.world bit is a link to the image. Just like how any website link will say the domain of the destination.

I mean it probably is where a user is posting from, but sometimes it is not (not sure why but sometimes non-ml users will post images from ml)

Maybe check out Nim-lang? It does have mm (I hear arc/orc are good) though it can be turned off allowing you to manage memory manually.

I didn’t even mention that aspect in my top-level comment because the check engine light is burned out. The systems and access to them were a mess before, and now I’m expecting medicaid cut headlines (and/or dropped people). Which personally, the idea of interrupted treatment makes me more wary than no treatment.

I do as well as I can in an enjoyable way to keep myself somewhat stable. Like I’ve been riding my bike on the trail lately* and I enjoy cooking** for myself. I’ll sometimes drink soda, but honestly I think if the sugar were halved I would probably enjoy it more (or just… some dessert is probably less sugar). Even though I guess subsidies make sugar cheaper than water.

I’ll sweep the floor because I don’t want to walk on dirt. Though yeah, I’m probably stuck here more than others.

* mostly to go outside (with not many good destinations I can viably reach), though I can make it to a local grocery store for a few things

** mostly sautéed vegetables, squash/celery/mushrooms/carrots/onions etc, spinach on sandwiches and recently have tried cooking chard

If something like USB doesn’t show your video, it may be too new of a codec (it may want mp4 or mpg or avi or wmv (mov or m4v?), not webm or mkv etc).

One thing to consider may be media-capable consoles (PS3/Xbox 360? and newer). Or an older computer, or maybe someone will be fine running it off of their laptop (or phone if you have a cord/casting).

You may want to use some sort of server (simple HTTP, perhaps even a media server) if you have a video-capable (+network-capable) device that does not have enough storage. You may need to do firewall/port stuff for that (fixed local address), though it might be more convenient in some cases.

I looked it up and they seem to still have them in train stations plus in areas where trash/recyclables is expected to be generated (convenience stores, vending machines, parks) so it seems like a bit of a stretch (also the reason for less trash cans being a 1995 sarin gas attack).

Even just the train station bit seems like an unfair comparison for places without any sort of public transportation (where people walked/biked from home). Yeah, I can see people being more likely to hold their trash if passing receptacles is part of their planned route.

or people still don’t want to walk 20 feet to them?

This is the sort of case where I’ll make an effort to pick it up and throw it away. Even better if visibly clean (not in the bushes, not wet) and something somebody may have just forgot.

If there’s no trash can anywhere, I likely won’t unless certain conditions align.

More than cool, add in other enhancements and most 3D games don’t need a remaster that will most likely be bloated data-wise.

Particularly when it comes to vertex colors (see Spyro’s skyboxes) rendering at modern res immaculately, upselling into photorealism is just throwing out the smartest and most unique thing the game had.

Sure, but that doesn’t help me now.

It doesn’t install a better auto-level sensor or tool-changing on my printer. It doesn’t give me a good print bed (one I bought was damaged by prints) or even just a newer control board. I’m not even going to buy a slicer key, I don’t want to spend more money on this nor do I want to think about it.

I’ve already acknowledged that some of this was my hubris and I would likely still be printing had I just stuck with what I had. Maybe someone could even help me get back there in exchange for/using my spare parts, but I live in nowheresville w/no car and don’t know anybody so that is not happening.

3D printer (FFF).

Didn’t start out too bad. I knew I was having issues but tried an upgrade I shouldn’t have done (because complexity). Upgrade was mostly done too, issue was fan wiring/firmware. I stopped with it there many years ago, so now it’s all dusty.

On top of all the variables/tuning/test prints, equipment/material cost etc. I also just don’t want to sell anything like I once thought I might.

The solution is less cars.

And less car (singular/measurement). Weight and size are multipliers to problems (including cost).

Sure E-bikes are better (bikes are better than that, and walking is the best especially for mixed transit), but there should be incentives to drive the smallest cars. And the giant behemoths we have in the US are like 3-4 classes up, these are a problem all on their own.
