Why do I keep replying to you with random songs? I just want everyone to have a theme song 😅

@puniko And rely on S-expressions more than on that filthy JSON!

@Zerglingman It's good!
Speaking of Melbourne, Australia, here is another one I enjoy a lot: https://jackharlon-dawsonthedeadcrows.bandcamp.com/album/the-magnetic-ridge
It's also stoner/psychedelic, unlike DT's more clear "sober" sound, this one, not unlike all stoner rock, is heavily processed, it's dreamy, but it's trippy-dreamy — I'm not sure that it's your cup of tea.
But it's story, or at least atmosphere, driven and quite interesting — it has a few highlights, but all album as a whole just flows really well together, I like that.

@devxvda Or them!

And yes, @mjdxp , it IS a starship 🤣

@music But I use Sway and a very minimal Wayland-native software set, had I been trying to use a DAW with external plugins, I'd go nuts probably 🤪
You rarely want to deal with this stuff when you want to be into music, not into computers. That is why I still have my Mac Pro for these tasks 😅

@music You're right, scaling issue isn't exactly new, it's handled this bad because of legacy code accumulated throughout all these years, it was done one way, later another way and now there is something even newer.
Software that has little to no legacy code generally handles scaling well, I hook up my laptop to a TV, issue a single swaymsg command and I'm all set, even non-integer values for scaling work well with a few exceptions, x2 is never a problem.

HiDPI mode is a quirk in every system, with Linux, like Thor said, it's lack of testing that kicks in. Most of this software is non-commercial, most don't have dedicated testing teams and pool of hardware to test it on. The devs will often gladly fix these things, but won't go great lengths to figure them out before you even encounter them. You get a lot of stuff for free, but you become the tester 🤷
@music

@chimera@infosec.exchange They pose problems for every system, in Windows you have to disable HiDPI mode to use non-standard scaling if you want legacy apps to not look like pixelated mess — everything gets small, but at least the text is readable.
Mac OS X is just slightly better at this because the technology was fundamentally there, they could have gone for complete resolution independency after 10.5 but fucked it up big time.
@music

@Zerglingman Yeah, same here. But I am listening to very little of such music in general nowadays. The closest to prog I listen to these days is probably Mars Volta and Tool, maybe some King Crimson — but that is far shot from DT.
I like these guys a lot: https://elephanttreeband.bandcamp.com/album/habits
They are different too — more like stoner I suppose, but I really enjoy both their albums: this one and the self-titled. They have that spirit of old-school rock music, but sound fresh at the same time.

@Zerglingman Thanks, will listen once Awake I have managed to find and put in the CD player finishes playing.
I'd also like to listen to some Liquid Tension, but I've only had one album and I haven't seen that CD for well over a decade, I think someone "borrowed" it and there it went 😔
Maybe I'll partake in some piracy later today 👉👈
Thanks for the link again!

@Zerglingman s/hate/have/ of course, I love it!

@Zerglingman
OMG, I hate DT on CD somewhere and I haven't listened to it in ages!

@kirby I can't believe no one posted The Song in that thread. WTF is wrong with you people? 😩

@oldrawgabbit I think banking apps need Play Services for notifications, banks want you to receive push notification instead of spending money on normal text messages, that is why they made this message more weird than it should be 😄
There is Unified Push of course, but right now not many apps support it, even ones that definitely should, like ProtonMail.
I think this will change with time, as more people start using it.

@yukiame I don't miss tails much, but I probably couldn't get by without cats' ears, love holding them!
Especially after they've chilled somewhere cool and their ears got cool too 😸

@yukiame What's with his ears?! Okay, I guess I'm not the one to talk, I have two cats without tails 😹

@kirby
He always thanks God, he's a devoted Christian 😄
@dcc

@useless_idiot Are we in equilibrium RN? So supply and demand of Useless Idiots are balanced? That is one hell of a theory 😄

@kirby Becoming Fedi-emotionally hot-pluggable is the best: you can become detached and then get emotionally reattached without interruption 😁
