does it support foobar2000 plugins?

probably not, since those are windows dlls. So here's a short list of what I'd want from a fb2k replacement:

  • a UI plugin with the power and flexibility of Facets/Refacets
  • browse library by folder structure OR tags (most only do one or the other)
  • powerful query language to actually find what I'm looking for
  • binaural stereo for headphones plugin
  • convolver
  • convert to opus and replaygain scanning
  • DR Meter
  • handle my >100k tracks library without constantly crashing or being incredibly slow

Most alternatives I've tried can't even deliver on half of those.

Similarly moving on to a decent issue tracker, Jira’s support for Epic’s/stories/tasks/capabilities and its linking ability is a huge simplifier for long term planning.

Modern ticket system or issue tracker? Yes, absolutely. But Jira? Certainly not, considering Atlassian's business practices. A project like Linux deserves a system where they can maintain some control and it probably should be open source.

Yeah email is ancient and certainly terrible from a usability perspective if you're an outsider to the workflows, but at least it can't be shut off or taken away on a whim. Also it's universal and therefore accessible.

There's an interesting blog post on this subject (likely someone posted it already): https://dkb.blog/p/google-search-is-dying

I find it to be very agreeable. Search is dying and I don't agree that appending "site:reddit.com" is any kind of permanent solution, just a workaround that will also break.

Tbf Afghanistan defeated a much stronger Russia back in the 80s.

Those were pretty much the Taliban though. No one doubts the will to fight of the Taliban.

ohh boy, I almost forgot about that. That was super painful. It's a website linus, not a file browser.

Do you really think OpenRC or runit or any of the other init systems people are using have any similarity to SysV init?

Yes? OpenRC is certainly much closer to sysvinit than systemd and in many ways just expands upon it.

where I’d have to pay around $260/mo for Comcast Premium Plu

That can't be real. Who pays that for a cable plan (or any kind of entertainment package)?!

I'd recommend sway and waybar. Waybar offers some cool customizable templates. Currently I also use bemenu as a launcher and dunst/poweralertd for notifications. I make heavy use of stacked or tabbed layout during general use.

sway has pretty decent mouse support, but for optimal productivity try to get used to the keyboard shortcuts. As soon as moving/resizing windows and changing desktops becomes muscle memory it's a whole different ball game.

How come people are willing to download and install pirated software though?

You can just remove "priated" from that statement and come to the same conclusions. Considering the amount of bugs, backdoors and 0-day exploits distributed via official software I sometimes wonder why people execute proprietary, closed source programs at all.

An no, "reputable" companies mean nothing, just look at Microsoft clowning around with their signing keys.

Ich verstehe einfach nicht, warum Deutschland nicht bereits vorhandene Konzepte aus anderen Ländern übernimmt und / oder anpasst. Hier in Schweden ist beispielsweise BankID standard.

Das ist ein reines Ego Problem, das ich genauso auch im Unternehmensalltag sehe. Statt eine Lösung, welche prbolemlos funktioniert, einer anderen Abteilung zu übernehmen und den eigenen verkorksten Ansatz zu vergessen, muss man demonstrieren dass man auch schon selber groß ist und den blöden input anerer nicht nötig hat. Leider denken viele das wäre ein Zeichen von Intelligenz und Selbstvertrauen statt purer Dummheit.

It seems like that design is made with the idea of removing the screen from the controller, which isn’t bad

Yes, but what's the point? What's going to power the screen once it's out? Pixie dust? What's going to drive the display? Whoever made this is unaware that a tablet is more than just a screen?
