Just came across it and it’s more relevant today than when it was posted
They could bother with pulse, but IDK how portable the API for that is, also discord working on Linux is more accidental and this getting fixed might just be because they want it fixed on the Mac side too.
It’s sad to see that discord has waited over 8 years to do this, but the whole thing is soydev code anyways.
From what I can tell they are working on updating their electron version to one that is aware of pipewire, this is the first part of solving the issue (especially for Wayland folks), the second part is just fixing some code in the client to deal with that and then it should be fixed until we deprecate pipewire in 2079. Additionally it would make discord finally act as a native Wayland app instead of being forced in xwayland.
I heard of MakeMKV before, thing is that I generally don’t buy blu-rays because of the downright horrible DRM schemes.
if DRM makes it harder for me to enjoy the content I bought and paid for (this includes limiting me to some lowres garbage even though my system is more than capable of playing HD and FHD video) compared to what I would get if I were to pirate it then it’s a problem of distribution; not one of morality.
you will always have some group that pirates your content no matter what; but if buying gives me a worse product because of artificial restrictions put on it I can’t give any less of a shit.
there’s very few streaming platforms that even give me a decent option (and I don’t even properly own my library; all I get is a license to watch/listen to something, one that could be revoked at any time in the future without me being able to do anything except complain about it).
Most dvd’s should be fine as VLC can play almost any of them.
BD is where things get complicated because of DRM, expect almost none of them to work thanks to big corpo telling us what we can and can’t do with something you bought and paid for (sadly enough streaming doesn’t get much better either)
If japanese kanji show as their Chinese variant make sure you are using the proper font variant.
My recommendation is noto-sans-cjk-jp

Fedora does allow you to set the locale, it doesn’t mention generating them so they might very well already be present You can use https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/latest/system-administrators-guide/basic-system-configuration/System_Locale_and_Keyboard_Configuration/ to read more than I can tell you here.
sxhkd/swhkd, both support creating these natively and the second one works not just on Wayland, but also X11 and the TTY.
Exactly this worked best for me back in the day
Not just you, your brain is wired to pick up language, how did you learn your first one?
I’m German and while we have some mandatory English classes, they’re …well … not good.
I can attest that English classes here aren’t great either (although most people here do speak English as a second or third language)
and at least the teacher I had first also had a VERY thick German accent
This is a known side effect of premature output (writing/speaking before you feel comfortable doing so), you don’t just listen to what’s around you, you primarily listen to yourself and pronunciation differs between languages, this premature output becomes toxic input for your brain which then uses that from then on (you can try and get rid of it; but it is really hard to do)
once I was halfway through the game my brain kinda switched to “English mode” and I actually learned words and grammar in a natural way instead of trying to force myself to understand what the hell a “singular past tense adverb” is.
Yup, that’s natural understanding for you. When you speak a language you don’t care about the rules; you should instinctively know them.
As for my issue with Duolingo: it ignores the amount of time it takes to properly acquire a language, if I were to split up all the time I spent watching english youtube into 5 minute chunks it’d take me well over 15 years (and that’s just accounting for the initial 4 month span; I’ve learned more things after as I naturally used the language). Combine that with the fact it throws established research on this topic to the wayside to push the school-based one which we know goes against the natural way in which we learn. I found a great blog post online about this, while it mostly revolves around learning Japanese; the core principles apply to learning pretty much any language. The beginning of the post does sum the entire thing up pretty well though:
We do not recommend “language learning” apps like Duolingo, Lingodeer, Babbel, and others due to the fact that their methodology conflicts with AJATT’s principles of immersion learning. Such apps do not actually help you with anything. There are no success stories. On the other hand, AJATTers typically reach fluency in just 18 months. The apps prevent you from reading interesting content in your target language, such as manga. And they make you more miserable in the end.
There are some really good parts in that blog that apply to any language; but a lot of it is geared towards Japanese specifically.
The best course of action is to consume as much content in the target language as possible, tv shows, music, YouTube videos… Your brain will eventually pick up on certain parts of the language naturally. Also the best thing you can do is to not force yourself to speak or write in that language until you are comfortable doing so (this is one of the biggest things doulingo does wrong).
I can attest to this method working as I went from barely knowing a couple of English words to speaking it in about 4 months (you could probably do less if you stick to what I outlined above). To back up this method I suggest you look at antimoon which is written by people who have used this to learn English as well.
If I can give my thoughts on what I’ve seen in research and linking various factors together.
While these 3 facts on their own don’t mean much, I can see how these come together to create an above-average amount of trans women in the IT and Linux spheres and this only gets amplified by stereotypes.
That said, this is mere speculation on my end based on the things I mentioned above, I am sure it plays a role; but I cannot be sure as to how significant that is in the grand scheme of things.
I love how musk is trying to make X the everything app all on his centralized network, and here we are building a decentralized everything network with dozens of open platforms and good 3rd party clients outpacing whatever musk is trying to cook.
Hi, it seems like you posted to Lemmy from mastodon, while this is perfectly possible there are a few things to keep in mind.
I’ve been using Vendetta with a custom stylesheet for mobile which does the AMOLED theme much better than discord, haven’t used the new app yet and I’m honestly contemplating whether I should get the old android native app running again.
Looks very interesting, love to see how well it works (and interoperates between different fediverse platforms)
Tbh, I would not mind a proper chat standard built on activitypub, it’s obvious that this protocol works, now if only somebody built a secure messaging platform with it.
It’s because they rewrote the app from the ground up. They had a lot of issues getting the AMOLED theme to work because the base of the entire thing was written with the idea that there will only ever be 2 themes.
Yup, still mad about that one. Some day nobody will remember that the mobile app was somewhat responsive. I do know that there are projects that still allow you to use the old app; but I don’t know how long the API for it will still be supported by discord.
Knowing how their desktop app works on Linux (or more specifically doesn’t and requires you to mingle with it if you want any degree of Wayland awareness) it doesn’t surprise me their app remake (because it’s not just a redesign) is total garbage. I hope they get around to fixing the performance and bugs; but as things are right now I’m staying on Vendetta and refuse to update.
I managed to find this post somehow but I can inform you that there’s a community for Tsukihime that I’ve created early on, it’s on a smaller instance that doesn’t wage defederation wars so it should be accessible to almost anyone.
Additionally if you want to appear in our sidebar you can reach out to me over DMs on this account or PM me on mastodon at @[email protected]. (this goes for any anime community; discoverability on lemmy is pretty lackluster)
