Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What Youtube channel has maintained high quality standards over the years?
6·3 days agoDank Pods! The content has only gotten better over the years, plus their expansion into car stuff and gaming. Started from iPods, now a bunch of different type of content. 🇦🇺

Linux@lemmy.ml•What’s a graphical piece of software you wish existed or was better?
1·3 days agoGIMP is still missing a way to draw a circle without some convoluted method. It won’t work for my needs currently.

Linux@lemmy.ml•What’s a graphical piece of software you wish existed or was better?
5·4 days agoPaint.net for Linux. Most of my experience with making art digitally came from paint.net and there’s not really a good alternative that doesn’t require me to recreate my workflow from the ground up (Krita).
Pinta is technically an option, but it’s missing many of the features that modern paint.net has.
For now, I have to make do with a VM to run it.
Got a new controller I have been wanting for a while at the price of my old one, except this new one has way more features than the previous one.
why does it have to be webview though
I mean, Windows 11 is like 90% WebView. The fact you can slow down Windows by spamming the super key to open and close the start menu says it all.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is something you can see, hear, smell, etc., that others can't?
10·11 days agoDespite having tinnitus, I can still hear very subtle sounds and identify them.
- For example, a long, deep hum means a garage door is opening/closing.
- I can also hear (and feel) footsteps and movement from people around a building, even very subtle movement.
- I can also pick up on all the little creaks a building makes.
However, despite being able to hear subtle sounds, I cannot hear “no” sound or silence due to the ringing. :/

2·12 days agoOn Mobile: Obtainium due to GitHub’s rate limiting after 2 refreshes (I have a lot of apps on it) and having to wait 30 minutes before I can update anything.
On Desktop: I don’t really have anything bad for desktop, so I guess FreeTube since I can stop watching videos instead of doing work.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which one of your views gets you labeled as "the other"?
44·12 days agoI don’t identify myself with any side in politics. Why pick a side when every side is shit.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Tell me about the last sandwich you ate.
2·13 days agoA local Mexican restaurant served a really good Barbeque cheeseburger compared to local sandwich restaurants.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the story behind your username and avatar?
2·14 days agoPicked a random space word and a random object in the room at the time.
My avatar was created by me a long time ago based on the “Astro” part of my username.
For me, I mainly just focus on enjoying the limited time I have without really caring what happens in the world. World going to shit? Oh well, I still have my hobbies I can do instead of worrying about that.
Don’t really have a number for your scale as I don’t even know if you could call this nihilism.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you feel sad about the fact that you'll probably die within 100 years (or less) and you (well... that's most of us tbh) can't do much to leave a significant positive legacy?
2·15 days agoNot really. “Legacy” doesn’t mean anything to me as it won’t matter when I’m dead because I’m dead.

Games@lemmy.world•What game is a guilty pleasure of yours?English
151·19 days agoAs weird as it sounds: Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom (The OG one).
On the surface, it’s a shit platformer game for kids, but what makes it interesting is the ways you can break the game and the lively speedrunning community. If you just try to play the game by following its rules, you’re going to have a bad time.
However, if you use cool speedrunning glitches and exploits, it becomes much more fun to break the game in ways the developers didn’t intend. I tend to play from time to time 100%ing it using exploits to reach locked areas earlier, skip entire sections, and play some levels backwards.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's an unscientific opinion that you firmly hold?
13·20 days agoI firmly believe some days you wake up and the world just fucking hates you, yet the next day everything is chill. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Currently, I’m replaying The Witcher 3, and the main annoyance I’m having right now is not being able to pause during timed choices (and timed choice are a whole other problem in games too).
You can pause during non-time-sensitive dialog choices, but not during timed ones. I don’t know why they specifically deny pausing for those. Maybe to prevent people from pausing and thinking it out? But, some of these times sensitive choices greatly effect the story. I want to be able to think about these choices when they effect the story.
