bob_lemon@feddit.deto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is an underrated/forgotten video game that you think deserved a second chance?3·1 year agoEverspace 2 is really close in terms of combat and overall gameplay, but it lacks the immersive simulation aspects. Freelancers idle radio chatter did some heavy lifting back in the day.
bob_lemon@feddit.deto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What popular product do you think is modern day snakeoil?161·1 year agoBack when a 4 minute song was like 1.5MB so you could fit more music on your 256MB mp3 player because you could not afford an iPod.
bob_lemon@feddit.deto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's an idea you have that should be an actual thing?1·1 year agoThere’s the federal volunteer service, which is the spiritual successor. Basically the same thing, but without being forced into it. There also voluntary social or ecological years, which is kind of the same thing as well.
Maybe try getting an MEP for Greens/EFA or the Left?

bob_lemon@feddit.deto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Any iOS users seen the top 100 albums of all time?3·1 year agoThe catalogue seems largely identical to Spotify, but Tidal has higher quality music (I recently found an album in Dolby Atmos).
I also found their app to be more intuitive (which is not exactly a high bar compared to Spotify).
Most importantly though, Tidal has better rates for the artists instead of paying Joe Rogan.
One other thing here is that the sensitivity of the detection is actually decreased with repeat attempts. This is pretty standard.
The reasoning here is that people will check after the first failure. And if they then send the close request again, the car will try a bit harder. Maybe it’s just some bit of oversized luggage that can be pushed down.
bob_lemon@feddit.deto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What fiction or fantasy battle deserves a Sabaton song?6·1 year agoThe Stormlight Archives feature a significant amount of battles, many of which are epic.
-
The return of Bridge 4.
-
The entire climax of Words of Radiance. The battle, the storm, the hero coming down
the mountain sidefrom the sky. -
“You cannot have my pain”

Not true. They also have trucks
bob_lemon@feddit.deto Technology@lemmy.world•After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next YearEnglish41·1 year agoI agree that live shows (and buying merch) is the best way to support artists.
But the CDNs required to run a music streaming service are anything but cheap.
bob_lemon@feddit.deto Technology@lemmy.world•After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next YearEnglish15·1 year agoI switched to Tidal after Spotify announced the price increase. The catalogue is basically identical, the apps are much more intuitive, and the audio quality is higher (they recently rolled their premium FLAC subscription into the basic one).
I had to retrain the algorithm for a bit, but that was not so difficult. There are services that can migrate/convert playlists which might actually work for favourites as well.
Also, it’s easy easier to download stuff from Tidal, which is very nice for listening to Audiobooks with a dedicated player.

bob_lemon@feddit.deto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are your go-to YouTube channels to fulfill your Tom Scott itch now days?3·1 year agoThere’s a video about a rail replacement helicopter in which Tim states that Tom wanted to do a video about it. But he was busy at the time, so they sent the tip to Tim instead.

bob_lemon@feddit.deto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•It's time to mentally prepare yourselves for this20·1 year agoWhich only works when timezones exist. Without timezones, the question would need to be “what time of day is it in <location>?”, and you’d get “morning” or “afternoon”. Any answer to that question is inherently more fuzzy than 8:25 or 17:16.
bob_lemon@feddit.deto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Who do you consider a Great Author of the last 50 years or so (first well-known work after 1970)? I'd like to get a feel for who's who in modern literature. Any language/culture. Fiction only.3·1 year agoNot to mention the two sequels World without End and A Column of Fire, set in the 1400s and 1600s, respectively, and the prequel Kingsbridge set around the year 1000.
Then there’s the century trilogy which takes place in the 20th century, and a whole lot of smaller works like A Dangerous Fortune, which manages to make you care for some bankers in 19th century London.
Decent game to quit about 30h in because while it’s good and fun to play, it’s incredibly repetitive.
