Nothing is requiring employees to be in the office five days a week
  • This is disappointing to see - especially since I like a few of their products.

    I'm not sure how it is in London, but there's a strong government push to get people to go back to office (the city). Since politics is every politicians side hustle, and a lot of them own commercial real estate that's been tanking post pandemic, I feel like they are forcing companies to bring people back to re-inflate the real estate value.

    Since companies can't outright say it's the government, they have to come up with excuses.

    The worst part is I don't know what's worse: if I'm wrong or if I'm right :(

    Gen Z job seekers should be willing to work for free, long hours, ‘willing to do anything,’ says Squarespace CMO
  • The key takeaway of the article is she was so unemployable when she started that she had to apply everywhere and be willing to put in extra effort and accept lesser pay to get started. Then after that, she got lucky.

    That's usually how it goes - especially for those who don't have any defining traits.

    Linux back at 4.04% on the Desktop. Windows went below 73%
  • I've seen a lot of people move to Mint or Pop_OS or Kubuntu. They're Debian based so updates are pretty stable.

    I personally ended up with EndeavourOS using the KDE desktop environment. I have a steam deck, so this felt very similar to me. This is Arch based so sometimes updates break things, but I've had more success here.

    Also remember that no distro is problem-free, but neither was Windows. The longer you commit, the easier it gets.

    EDIT: If you're hesitant to fully commit at first, I also recommend dual booting with Windows. Over time you'll use it less and less until one day you feel like reclaiming the disk space.

    ANBERNIC Officially Reveals New RG40XX H After Recent Leaks | Retro Dodo
  • This is a tough sell. I just got the RG35XX H recently for <50 USD. Seeing all this is mostly the same besides a bigger screen and new shape, is it really worth a double in cost?

    Plus I assume the bigger screen would mean the device is bigger overall. To me, one of the key features of the 35XX H is it's pocketability.

    Eat shit Spotify.
  • I'm not sure if the application is safe. It may be malicious. Proceed at your own risk.

    I saw a GitHub project called 163MusicLyrics that's sources the information from Chinese sources (NetEase and QQ).

    The entire software is in Chinese, but the results looked really accurate from the sandbox I ran. It's even actively developed with v6.2 releasing least week. But again, I don't know if it's safe.

    I'm not good at code but it looks like it's OSS, so you could verify the code yourself or reverse engineer something with the API calls they use?

    Let me know if you come across something though. I'm also looking for a way to get LRC files easily.

    EDIT: Also for self hosting, I use Jellyfin with Symfonium, and Tailscale. It works great for me and has been relatively low maintenance.

    Uber says new B.C. rules will increase costs, Eby says companies can 'suck it up'
  • This was inevitable. Their business model required cutting necessary expenses to drive their prices below taxis, but that's not sustainable.

    Hopefully this encourages the use of biking, public transportation, or at the very least, transportation services that provide better employee benefits.

    Uber needs to remember that society functioned just fine before them. It can survive just fine without them.

    Yves - LOOP (feat. Lil Cherry) [Music Video]
  • Thank you for sharing this. Since their tiff with BlockBerry, I've lost touch with the group.

    This song was a pleasant surprise - i really like the synths. I could see IISO producing something like this. It's cool to see Lil Cherry on here too. I listen to a lot of Jvcki Wai so I've been listening to 꿈 a lot.

    Also hi again @yetAnotherUser@lemmy.ca :)

    Spotify’s HiFi add-on could cost an extra $5 per month
  • At ~17 USD a month, you could buy nearly every new song you like that you found that month in CD quality or better.

    Music - Self-Host - how to start / what's your stack?
  • I'll also add that if you're looking to replace the recommendation algorithm, you can use Last.FM, AOTY, RYM, or even Instagram (I follow a lot of artists and the recommended posts when I go to search something have actually been decent. really strange and perplexing)

    Also, if you find any CDs you don't care for anymore, see if you can donate them to your local library :)

    Music - Self-Host - how to start / what's your stack?
  • So I recently terminated my Spotify subscription and moved my library to Jellyfin.

    For my phone client, I use Symfonium. There are other options available (even FOSS options if you prefer), but I liked Symfonium's UI the best. It also has a rolling offline cache setting that I find very useful. However, it does have a one time fee of 5 USD. But the client is completely up to your preference - no right choice.

    If you care about Last.FM scrobbling, use something like Pano Scrobbler on your phone.

    For desktop streaming, Jellyfin isn't required. Use which ever media player you like best.

    As for accessing your Jellyfin server outside your home network, Tailscale is an option. It was relatively easy to set up, even for someone who's dumb with networking.

    Climate crisis with Poison Ivy
  • I felt they were using the fact that Batman is an orphan, and being a billionaire is an excuse to explain how he can fund his... hobby?

    But I could see the billionaire propaganda aspect as well. I guess it depends on the author's intent.

    What's your favourite remix/version of a K-pop song?
  • This is a really good question.

    The first song that comes to my mind is probably the TAK remix of TT by TWICE. I actually didn't find out about it until I bought the CD and was all

    :O

    I hope I'm not forgetting a super obvious one. What is your favourite, @yetAnotherUser@lemmy.ca?

    Hi everyone. I wanted to see if anyone would be interested in a weekly "what have you been listening to" thread? I usually have music playing while working and I'm always looking for new stuff, so I'm hoping to pivot off the community's tastes.

    With that said, here's some questions to hopefully get us started:

    • What songs have you had on repeat this last week?
    • Who were your most listened to artists?
    • Did you discover any song that you just had on repeat?
    • Any upcoming releases you're looking forward to?

    Let me know if this is something everyone would be interested in!
