I have every reason to be unhappy and resentful, how not to be that? (lemmy.ml)

I recently heard a man say, you should not focus on things that make you sad. There are certain things in life that are always gonna suck, there will always be certain things which you can't change, there is no use worrying about them or hating them.

Unfortunately, I am in a system that handicaps human growth, you don't/can't grow up to your full potential when you live in systems like these. I can't leave anytime soon, and the hyper-realization that had I been in a better system that fosters growth, I won't be as miserable (emphasis on the as here) as I am here. I am hyperaware of certain things. Small things, they steal my mental peace, it can be someone honking incessantly on the streets or anything loud or unnecessary at any time of the day. Reddit shows me some weird stuff when I enter it and that distrubs my peace of mind! I have become very sensitive to these things.

I am sorrounded by all things negative in life, I have all the reason in the world to br resentful and ill-tempered, but resentment is a very dangerous thing, I don't want to be resentful. If I can't he happy here, I just want to be in peace! How can I do this? Venting about my situation helps but it's temporary and it seems to be doing more damage than good.

P.S.: Please don't start with how the American system is bad, it probably is, but there are worse things. I will literally be willing to lose a leg to get there. Also, might take sometime to reply, but I deeply appreciate your responses.

Audacious is what you need.

Clementine, just like it's fork Strawberry will remember which chapter you were in (which file of the playlist you were playing when you exited the application), but it won't remember your location in that file. This is troublesome if you are playing chapters with length of 43 mins - 1 hour as I am. Audacious helps me with this thought.

Thank you! Audacious worked. But, worked in a manner which I didn't prefer.

You see, if you download a audiobook from Internet Archive and it has chapters written into them, Clementine or Strawberry player would expand those chapters and show them as separate. But, audacious weirdly enough doesn't do this, it views the whole audiofile as one file and doesn't view any chapters. I like Audacious and I am likely retiring Clementine and Strawberry, but it would be nice if I could see the whole file as a playlist.

[EDIT]: Audacious does this, but Audacious doesn't view the file as a playlist rather as one file, I wish this could be changed, I don't know it might be. [\EDIT]

So, pretty much the title. I got this amazing Audiobook from Internet Archive and I wanted to play it in Linux.

But everytime I use VLC, VLC remembers where I was in a particular mp3 file but not on the whole playlist. Is there an application which will remember where I was in a particular playlist and in the individual file of that playlist?

but zip is not the default and many a times you can't set a default in many applicatoins.

This is not just about gimp or file managers, many applications use formats which you can't use anywhere but on Linux most times.

what abt the others tho? GIMP ok that's understandable, although I do hate the fact that GIMP is shipped by default with Linux distros rather than Kolour, which is much more easier to use. Not all of us need to do complex image editing and those who want to will install it.

What's that one feature you liked so much while distrohopping that you want it by default in all distros? (lemmy.ml)
 

I have always been discovering new things about Linux distros while distro hopping. And when I get something I really like, I just copy the package name and make sure I install it in every distro I use in the future.

Let me start:

  1. Clipboard manager (Gpaste)
  2. KDE connect
Lemmy is not ideologically diverse. Thoughts? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] Owell1984@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

love the outlook of lemmy, I think the design is decent and simplistic. But one thing I can’t seem to get over is the fact that almost everyone here seem to think the same politically. Why do you guys think this is?? I know this is a community of leftists foss enthusiasts but I hope everyone here is aware that it is driving many people away from adapting it.

Hehe... good one. I understand that. But don't you think it would be a better place of some people from the right joined in here

edit: having a community dedicated to letists only can be a bad idea in that it can make sure your beliefs are not questioned. I have thought myself as a socialist and I have thought myself as a anarcho-capitalist, I don’t believe in either anymore. I think if radical views go unchecked they might cause problems. Although I am a capitalist now, being confronted by socialists has made me aware of capitalisms deep flaws. When I considered myself a communist (17 year old me) I thought opposing views really changed my mind. So that's the ideologically diversity I am talking about.
