Yup, Bandcamp. You can also click on "Genres", then clicking on any genre will propose further subgenres. So currently i'm in a atmospheric black metal phase. Going to "metal", "black Metal", then "atmospheric black metal" shows me bands i might like.

Obviously genres are very fluid and sometimes subjective, but as a general tool to find music they work for me.

It's the middle thing between not gifting something specific but also no just giving money. Sometimes you are not sure what exactly a person wants, but giving money directly might feel too unpersonal? Other than that, i completely agree with you that it sucks. Stores must love them though, they already have the money without having to provide a service / product and then many people will forget, the gift cards expire etc. I'm of the opinion that the cards shouldn't expire, or at least have a very high expiration date (like minimum 10 years).

I've written a bash script i'm using daily, maybe you can adapt it to your needs. I'm using pipewire-pulse. It's probably not perfect but it does the job:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
DEVICE=$1

# read input, parse list of available sinks (outputs)
if [ "$DEVICE" = "pc" ]
then
	OUTPUT=($(pactl list short sinks | awk '{print $2}' | grep -i -E 'hdmi|samson|Targus' -v))
elif [ "$DEVICE" = "tv" ]
then	
	OUTPUT=($(pactl list short sinks | awk '{print $2}' | grep -i -E 'hdmi'))
else
	echo "No valid input (must be either 'pc' or 'tv')"
	exit -1
fi

# get all currently connected streams
INPUTS=($(pactl list short sink-inputs | awk '{print $1}'))

# change default sink (for new audio outputs)
pactl set-default-sink $OUTPUT

# switch sink for existing audio outputs
for i in "${INPUTS[@]}"
do
	pactl move-sink-input $i $OUTPUT
done

# use notify-send to send a visual notification to the user that the sink changed
notify-send -c info "Default sink changed" "Changed default sink and sink-inputs to $OUTPUT"

Is it really possible to sign away a right to sue a company, especially hidden in an EULA? For an unrelated service as well... I guess that's something the court must decide in the end.

It's a pity that a company who created so many beloved stories and characters fell so low.

I stole your title template @TehBamski@lemmy.world because i like it :)

I like the actresses and actors, especially John Cusack (who is just a fantastic actor in general) and Jack Black, who stands out in another role that just feels like it's made for him (the other being School of Rock).

The film also makes good use of its soundtrack and music in general and has some funny scenes, along with a simple but well paced main plot.

Can second this recommendation, very good movie! Spoilers ahead:

spoilerI love the fact that it is a movie about aliens without any violent conflict but rather focused on interacting with the aliens some way

If you are "forced" to use WhatsApp because many of your contacts are using it, you could use it to run WhatsApp and set-up a bridge to Matrix: https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/go/setup.html?bridge=whatsapp

It seems to be down right now, but if i remember correctly this one also works when you are using a terminal and curl, i.E. curl wttr.in/newyork

Edit: It works again, you can use the command as written above :D

Maybe Broadchurch? British crime series with David Tennant, Jodie Whittaker (two doctors) and Olivia Colman

Letztes Jahr war es Sonnencreme - die habe ich dort gekauft weil ich befürchtete dass mir meine mitgenommene ausgeht. Jetzt hat sich herausgestellt dass das die beste Sonnencreme ist, die ich jemals gekauft habe. Zieht super ein, riecht kaum und war sogar etwas günstiger als in der Schweiz :D

Don't have time right now and i never played the originals, but i read great things. Seems like a pretty weird mix between mechanics, but great if the developers pulled it off. Glad to hear you're enjoying it as well!

Is there a story or is it "just" mission after mission?

[-] jan75@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Nice ending, damn! :D

So i couldn't watch (wrong timezone and work event), but this game was counted as a loss for BetBoom because Pure watched the livestream during a pause right?
