The 8 bit guy. I loved his retro computing channel and then one day, he acquired a rare IBM computer and promptly destroyed the power supply by sticking a screwdriver into it (if I remember correctly).

For some reason, I googled about this and discovered he’s a gun nut. They’re videos of him going grocery shopping with his rifle on his back which apparently he does this knowing it will annoy people.

Unsubscribed from the channel and never looked back.

I normally listen to heavy metal, rock maybe nerdcore rap. The other night, I was alternating between the albums of Natalie Imbruglia and Melanie Chisholm. There’s some good stuff in there.

I saw such a device on Instagram. I think it was a Bluetooth connection from the computer diagnostic port to the phone.

The app takes this data and makes the right noise based on engine revs. The app was full of different engine sounds both real and fictional along with silly noises such as farting.

In the beginning, it was a mix of LiftOff! and Jerboa. The dev of LiftOff! had twins and understandably, he hasn’t returned and the app has fallen to the wayside.

So I tried Thunder (available on Android and iOS) and it’s been really good, lots of regular updates and features as well.

Having used PowerAmp since Android 1.5, I switched to Musicolet last year and it does the job just as well. It’s not open source but it proudly claims that it has no network permissions, so it cannot send any data anywhere.

Even though I paid for Nova years ago, I went back and downloaded a modded version of 7.0.58, the last version before they were bought out and the code was changed.

I really wanted to like Lawnchair but I always end up back with Nova. It does exactly what I want it to.

I discovered this after giving up on the BBC weather app because it wants me to sign in.

It’s been really good, I love the details and it’s been getting regular updates. Recommended.

I’ll give this one a go. I was on PowerAMP for years ever since I got my first Android phone, a HTC Hero on Android 1.5! Recently I changed to Musicolet. I don’t think it’s open source, but it is privacy focused, as it doesn’t have any features that access a network.

Well, initial impressions were good but on my phone, the toolbar at the bottom was underneath the android navigation buttons. I’ll report it in the lemmy community.

I, too, loved LiftOff! but the developer had twins and, understandably, that seemed like the end.

But I’ve fallen for Thunder! Dare I try another?

DVDs had a maximum resolution of 576p. The Superbit DVDs by Sony were DVDs that had no extras so that they could use the entire space on the disc to maximise the bitrate. I think this was only beneficial to those with very large TVs.

I finally got it working, I was using the wrong URL which I had to use on another app.

Quite like this, looking forward to the update.

Does this app still work with FreshRSS, I can’t get it to login into my account.

Thanks for the update!

I use this on edge and I was going to switch to Firefox but the extension has been removed from the store.

I’m one of the mods of [email protected] and I quite often post press releases of new and upcoming Blu-rays, 4K etc. The most annoying part was when copying and pasting press releases from websites, the formatting would be almost completely lost. Lists of special features would be transformed into block paragraphs.

But, the other mod of !homevideo found this web page where you can paste the text onto and it becomes converted into markdown text. I can then copy the new text and paste it into Lemmy and it now looks great, with bullet point lists preserved etc.

I spent ages trying to generate something close to me with the Bing AI picture generator. A middle aged man who loves film.

He doesn’t look like me but I really liked the image, so I picked it.

Damn those beavers!

I love Mastodon, within the first year I’ve almost got the same amount of followers as I had on Twitter in 12 years. Plus on Mastodon, the people are nicer and talk back. Twitter felt like shouting for attention.

Also, I recently found out that BlueSky has no encryption or real security and it’s designed that way. Here’s a live stream of BlueSky, no login required.
