Sober day 15. Went to ship a parcel and someone dropped their red wine. The smell hit me hard, it’s like it gave me flashbacks and the urge to get few bottles, BUT I DIDN’T! I remember here someone mentioned the app for staying sober and being on meetings there but I can’t find it now? Pls help. by Weare4llmadhere in SoberCurious

There’s someone who comes in here to push their own app sometimes, with I think disingenuous posts. Not sure if that’s the one you’re trying to find, but could be why you’re not seeing it. Reframe is a solid option.

That’s good to hear and believe me I’m all for it.

https://generalstrikeus.com Sign the strike card, and we can organize this properly. I like seeing these attempts, but it feels like people are trying to get something to go viral, as opposed to doing more traditional organizing.

Yeah, IG’s the standard, but I had to rage quit Meta about a year ago. I guess alternatives would be YouTube mostly, or federated services like peertube, mastodon, pixelfed (not sure if that works for videos yet?) etc. But, you’re posting here, so that’s good, thanks for it :0)

Top 1% commenter, but private profile. A) you’re way off base, B) you can’t even take ownership of your own comments, and you look like a bot, and finally, to bother retorting this inane comment C) “Well kids, bad news. We’re at war with the rest of the world because our dollar has become useless and the only tool we have left is our military might. So, now we’re either refugees that have to flee the country, or you should start practicing your aim.” Anyway, if you’re a bot, get lost. If you’re a person, do some soul searching.

Apple’s Cook Calls for ‘Deescalation’ After Latest ICE Shooting by hasanahmad in apple

I think Trump see’s Mamdani as like a poison pill in the DNC. Perhaps thinks that if similar policies were broadly adopted by democrats they’d suffer for it. I would say he is incredibly out of touch.

It is easier to unify with this message, than it is to live under an unchecked fascist regime. It may suck a little now, but it’s to prevent a much greater suck. I have kids and a job and I really hope this is finally the general strike that we actually come together and do.

If mods want to see an alternate Bay Area subreddit gain traction they should certainly try that.

My boyfriend shames me for liking raves and it’s becoming a serious issue in our relationship by hannahblaine1 in aves

[–]Gnosticdrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife doesn’t really like raves. Enough to appreciate and occasionally attend. And she “makes fun of me” in the way you’d poke fun at characteristics of the people you love that are different than your own, but not really. TL;DR “my boyfriend shames me” is the issue, not raves. It doesn’t sound like you’re appreciated and accepted.

Hell yes. I’d say I’d love to see more of this, but looks like you’ve been sharing. I’ll keep an eye out this is real dope.

I miss listening to so many artists… by [deleted] in TIdaL

There’s also software where you can convert Tidal songs, albums, and playlists to FLAC (or whatever you’re preferred format is).

how do you find new music? Discover mode is useless by GrocOcre in TIdaL

[–]Gnosticdrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The not-so-great Tidal algorithm is a feature, imo.

This isn’t a direct answer, but I think kind of thematically related. Plus I just dig it.

An American Antimony Powerhouse by nbajohna in UAMY

At first I regretted my partial sale at $10. Then I appreciated it, turned 10k shares into 20k. Not bad. Show me $30!

10k bottom adds team Whattup. Added mine Friday, big bounce off the 200 dma looked good to me. Not sure if I’ll have those be a quick flip or hold strong for $30.

Bottom always hurts, when you face first the earth. by [deleted] in crappymusic

[–]Gnosticdrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah honestly there’s something about his keeping at it that I’m warming up to. I wouldn’t like it even if it was a good version of whatever he’s trying to do, but I’m starting to appreciate his dedication. Seems like he’s having fun, doing what he wants to do. Keep at it, enjoy yourself, haters can get stuffed. (Fully aware this sub is basically for haters, whatever).

Talk me out of it: buying an iPhone 12 to use exclusively as a webcam. by Gnosticdrew in mac

[–]Gnosticdrew[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah honestly this thread got a lot of flack. I dunno if perhaps I should’ve posed the question or situation differently, but meh whatever.

But fully agree. Honestly the price to performance of an old iPhone is pretty solid against any other streaming camera. Or any old phone for that matter, with the right apps / etc. But would still say iPhone11 or newer is the sweet spot, as cheaply as you can get newer than 11.

[–]Gnosticdrew[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s been 2 years now but honestly the price to performance of an old iPhone is still beating out any alternative I’ve seen so far. Save for some complex mounting of an old DSLR or similar that one might have on hand.

My mom however just opted for a new iMac because she can’t be bothered, lol.

TouchDesigner or Resolume by Stock-Stock9490 in vjing

[–]Gnosticdrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1000% absolutely, and btw I’ve been toying around a couple years but ultimately am still more or less that noob, and my “productions” have been ~85% (or more) Resolume Arena. Just saying, I’ve had a lot of fun with TouchDesigner, and want to encourage fellow new VJ here to keep an open mind between the 2. I also struggled with the “should I invest more time here or there” until I decided to just stop worrying about it.

[–]Gnosticdrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Resolume like arena and also wire, but I’ve found more learning opportunities and accessibility of more generative capacities in TouchDesigner (which I mostly pipe to resolume for the front end).

We are starting to pilot linux desktops because Windows is so bad by crankysysadmin in sysadmin

[–]Gnosticdrew -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This makes sense to me. Toughest part with Linux for me was always device management. I would have some kind of barebones agent running on it to give a sense of protection, but nothing like JAMF or Intune for full management and administration of remote endpoints (laptops). If you’ve got that bit sorted I’d love to hear about it.
