  Well, I cant speak for others, but I post videos of my live shows roughly once a week of acoustic covers, and if you have any song requests, I’ll do my best to add em!

  Bean a while since I’ve seen a beans post on Lemmy. Welcome back, old friend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Word.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Beautiful. Thank you.

  Is there a decent FOSS alternative to excel? Libre has been my goto for years because I never needed anything more, but just in the kast week I have a new client with some more rigorous needs, and I REALLY dont want to bite the buellt on 365

  How has some anon group not manahed to hack / leak them yet?

  Turn it into a drinking game with your cooler family members…like, “Every time uncle dan says something racist, take a drink”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gaming Pet Peeves⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When the only difference in difficulty is either by adding more waves of enemies, or giving bosses a bajillion hitpoints.

  If I already learned all the game mechanics, and the only scaling is having to repeat them a lot more, that’s poor design.

  I dont mean this as much for adjustable difficulty, like easy vs hard mode, but rather in game progression…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GDP⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Comparing market cap to gdp is a bit like comparing the size of a cars tires to its top speed - they arent completely unrealted, but definitely not a good basis to use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for a good kindle reader alternative⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I had looked into Kobo, but ultimately Boox won out. Zero proprietary ecosystem, so I can use Calibre to manage everything.

  I need to do a bit more work, but totally worth it to be completely DRM free

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Boox is the best. Stock software, NO DRM. Downside is they are more expensive upfront

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hardest battles⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Challange accepted

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Shouldn't I Use A Small Gaming PC⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You are FAR better off buying a used gaming rig than a mini PC…

  Those boxes have heat issues, are not at all user-servicable, and really are only designed as a web browser box.

  Great for media players / HTPCs, attrpcious for trying to game on.

  Buy a 5 year old gaming system

  Hahahahah. “Upgrade.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fuck off HMRC/ IRS⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It was unfair of my prev comment to judge without explaining.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fuck off HMRC/ IRS⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So very shortly after the reddit API fiasco, when a LOT of people migrated to Lemmy…someone noticed the high percentage of “upvotes” on Lemmy comments. They made a post stating “People on Lemmy will upvote anything.” With a pic of Heinz baked beans. It became, at the time, the most upvoted post on all of Lemmy. Hence, Lemmy has always upvoted beans…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fuck off HMRC/ IRS⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh man, you are kinda late to the party, but beans are a Lemmy thing ad infinitum

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Baldur's Gate 3 cast got a new set of pre-painted minis and—oh, oh no, oh no no no⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thats why I have a resin printer for my minis

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Baldur's Gate 3 cast got a new set of pre-painted minis and—oh, oh no, oh no no no⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As an aside, how hard would it be to extract the games 3d assets and make my own STLs of the characters to print?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh god⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is rather convenient, as the object to my left is a roll of toilet paper

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your Earbuds Are Gross. Here’s How to Clean Them Properly⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If its earwax, use hydrogen peroxide on a small swab or wipe. Itll take it right off.

  For other gunk: vinegar, dawn soap, lemon juice (depending on what the cause is)

  Best keyboard I ever had was a Motorola Q. The phone itself was mediocre, but great keyboard.
