Funnily enough twitter just suddenly got much worse like a couple days ago for me, only pushing blue-check accounts so I might just finally stop using it

The tiling concept that was shown off some time ago for GNOME looks amazing

I created a water shader (files.catbox.moe)

So for fun I made a water shader. The waves are done using sum-of-sines (or rather sum of sin^8), im using the depth texture for opacity based on water depth and the screen texture to fake refraction.

The cool thing about sum of sines is that the waves are very configurable, you can also create flatter water or less detailed waves by just changing the shader properties, or even create a water stream with a single flow direction.

Consuming drugs should not be illegal. Doesnt matter what effect the drug has, punishing the consumer does no good for anyone.

Selling drugs can and should in some cases be illegal though

For me personally there is no open source calculator on android that even comes close to Hiper Calc Pro. Having actual expressions and physical constants makes things so much easier and makes the app better than most physical scientific calculators.

Firefox mobile has pwa support, which works well for me and I never had a website that doesnt work on firefox (except for google earth maybe).

Honestly I cant live without UBlock Origin after using it for so long. The modern web is so horrible with ads

Currently running fedora, because it is stable, easy to use and just works. Also, gnome is imo the best designed major, full-featured desktop environment that exists out there (even including windows or macos).

You might get a more tailored experience with window managers but im currently to lazy to set that up. I did use dwm for a time though, but it wasnt really flexible enough for me.

That is why lemmy is decentralized, no one can buy every single instance. and even when a corporation buys the codebase of lemmy, another person can come in and create their own platform that is still compatible

I didnt hear a lot about negative experiences with both of those companies, do you have any examples?

I feel like the design of this fits better with the gnome desktop than gnome system monitor

The album prices are pretty high sometimes and many artists are not on bandcamp

Music Recommadations? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Is there any way to get Spotify-like music recommendations from a website or app (using the local library)?

Also is there a simple way to sync playlists between phone and linux pc? Manually having to import playlists from the music folder every time is very annoying so I just dont use playlists.
