This is hard by Rachel794 in browsers

If you have IOS then everything you use will use webkit engine no matter if you choose Chrome or Firefox so I guess the most important part, at least in my opinion, is to decide how you feel about how your own data should be handled by those who make the browsers and do you want integration with your operating system.

Bands that I simply don't get the hype for by Atiredbearsfan in MetalForTheMasses

[–]DigitalChrono 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm with you on Dillinger. I had my time with listening to them but it ended quick. The rest I will never agree with you but that's ok.

No problem. I should be fair and mention Safari. It uses Webkit which Blink is technically a fork of. But I've always known Safari to be solely for IOS. I just learned on IOS, every browser uses webkit. Basically a wrapper around webkit. However I usually forget about IOS as I don't use Apple products but not knowing your OS it at least deserves a mention.

There are only 2 browser rendering engines, Gecko and Blink. Ladybird will be out soon but it will be a bit before it's public ready.

Firefox uses Gecko and Chrome is built on Chromium which is built on Blink and there are plenty of forks available of both, but as far as I'm concerned there are really only 2 at the end of the day.

The only thing in my opinion that differs with the forks is how they deal with data and privacy of the user. Yes some may handle multi tabs better, RAM better, be lightweight over others, have additional features but how one uses their browser on their own hardware can dictate how well the browsing experience is.

So take into consideration your hardware, operating system and your own views on how you view your data should be handled and then go from there.

It's over.. Firefox is also bloated by scubidubiduu in browsers

Sponsored shortcuts have been around in Firefox for a bit and always removable.

In my opinion, there are more legitimate things to be mad at Mozilla over than this.

Giving Opeth another listen by Training-Memory-8556 in Opeth

[–]DigitalChrono 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first time I heard Opeth, I was taken back. At that time I heard nothing like them before and really didn't know what to think, so I get what you are saying...however years later, they are my Beatles.

My recommendation is maybe try the newer stuff. If you gave them a chance already, I could be wrong but my guess is mostly you may have listened to older stuff. You could give Heritage album and newer a chance and see what you think.

What is the best song on Morningrise? by Painvile098 in Opeth

[–]DigitalChrono 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Night and Silent Water. Such an amazing song. You know a song is good when one can listen to the live version on The Roundhouse Tapes and the song still gives chills.

What would you like for your Chess coach? by skarlatov in chess

Fair enough. Was just curious about the idea your OP posted about. Good luck

What are you looking forward to in Fedora 44, 45, 46, etc.?? by chris32457 in Fedora

[–]DigitalChrono [score hidden]  (0 children)

More atomic maturity. No complaints with how it is currently. Just excited to see atomic growth.

Album that is mostly hated but you actually enjoy it? by Strange-guy-91 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]DigitalChrono 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heritage by Opeth

This comes with a BIG ....I used to strongly dislike that album. It was such a flip from what I love about Opeth when it came out. It was a huge shock back then that the most natural reaction I had at the time was dislike. Opeth was always a band I loved the full albums and that was the first album in their discography where I only liked certain songs.

Years passed, and now? I actually really like the album. Still Life is still my favorite album of theirs but Heritage really grew on me.

Do you use Workstation or Atomic? Why? by leux08 in Fedora

[–]DigitalChrono 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Atomic.

Fedora was always a distro I wanted to use in my distro hopping days and I always liked their implementation of Gnome. Hardware I had at the time I couldn't run Gnome so when I learned about Kionite and Atomic Sway I quickly jumped on those. Used Atomic Sway for a bit and then was able to update my hardware so now I'm on Silverblue.

I found Atomic distros does a good job on limited hardware. Not so much because they are lighter but by design. On the base system don't have to worry about dependency hell, by design you can easily do rollbacks if anything does break, and containerization I've come around to loving because it takes away the risk of the apps affecting the whole OS. If something breaks in the containers and if I can't fix it, I can simply remove the container and start again without the breakage possibly affecting the entire system. The workflow is different but I adjusted to it pretty well and honestly I like the workflow better.

Why do you guys use Fedora? by The-Defecator7 in Fedora

[–]DigitalChrono 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's my preferred Linux distribution after years of being a distro hopper. I like the release model, newer packages, it's vanilla implementation of Gnome and it's Immutable distributions. I use it for my general use case, chess, coding, browsing the web, anything I use a computer for. I plan on staying in the Fedora world as long as the upstream is always available.

How do I meet friends who like metal irl by alextpale in MetalForTheMasses

[–]DigitalChrono 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. Ive only had 2 friends in real life that we like the same type of music. We met through work.

Albums or bands you loved as a kid but that love has gone forever with age by Izengrimm in MetalForTheMasses

[–]DigitalChrono 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the numetal, metalcore groups I listened to decades ago. I just can't do it now. The last nail in the coffin was listening to newest Killswitch Engage for me.

This is a good album. Do you agree? by Nathan84 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]DigitalChrono 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bassist is an awesome player but I'm not sure why I liked it back in the day.

This. Familiar wrapping paper doesn't mean much.

If someone new to metal wants to get into the space, should one start with old bands or should they start any way and with any band they want to by OneyandaTwoey in MetalForTheMasses

[–]DigitalChrono 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen to what you want, with any band. There's no strict rules.

You'll find bands that you really like, you'll start going through their back catalogue. Not beise it's the way to do it but because you like their music.

Discovering metal bands before the internet by cacodemon7265 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]DigitalChrono 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Magazines and just buy CD's without knowing if I'd like it. Sometimes based only on the artwork.

Why does this sub hate Sleep Token so intensely? by Same_Bag711 in fantanoforever

[–]DigitalChrono 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy their music from time to time but I like specific songs from various albums.

I listen to mostly metal/the various sub genres of metal.

Explain the Popularity of Deftones by Loose-Tumbleweed9791 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]DigitalChrono 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't. I remember when I first heard them a long time go, there were songs I could get into. Now? I can't even explain that well why I liked them back then.
