I'm from Arkansas, US. I identify more with my small town than with my state or nation. I also identify as a southerner, but somewhat reluctantly.

In times like these, I repeat the mantra: "At least you're not in Mississippi."

Weightless by Marconi Union if you want something relaxing, and anything by Alon Mor for some more exciting, incredibly sound designed music.

That definitely looks promising. What's the workflow for getting the subscription data into the application?

I hear you. If I already had a list of the subscriptions I have, then yeah that would work. But I am a forgetful person, so I need (or I suppose, want) a tool that will get me to that starting point.

 

I'm looking for a tool that can help me keep track of what subscriptions I'm paying for. I don't really need extra functionality, I'm happy to cancel them manually. As someone who listens to podcasts, I've heard about Rocket Money, and it seems like it would get the job done. The question is: can I trust them with all of that data? Are there more privacy-respecting alternatives I should be considering?

Redhat package manager, used on distros like fedora, suse, rhel

This is rpm erasure

That's the one! Damned good on the eyes, too.

MaXX is a new one for me, what's that like to use?

I've got a thunderbolt chip on an AMD motherboard, which doesn't usually happen, and I'm running an LG 5k monitor through it. I use an IBM model M over native PS/2. I've got a Ryzen 7, but a GTX 1060 cuz it still works. It's running Ultramarine Linux, based on Fedora.

Elementary OS Freya. I love a good GUI

Can confirm Gnome has Wayland/xorg switching in the same manner.

Fedora is a great foundation for stability and up to date software. I personally use Ultramarine Linux; it's a general purpose distro based on Fedora, but with more desktop environments, more available packages, more media codecs (plain fedora leaves out a bunch of codecs that you need to play audio or video files), and some more sane defaults. Even with all that, it isn't noticeably more bloated than Fedora; it just gives you more options and makes it so that you don't have to follow a "Things You MUST Do After I stalling Fedora" article.

Wayland works with Nvidia in my experience, and Wayland is remarkably stable and xorg-compatible. Folks will argue about that, but it's been great for the few years I've used it on my laptop and desktop. I know at least Ultramarine installs both, and you can switch between them on the login screen, so give it a shot.

If your games don't work, it's quite normal to dual boot windows just for gaming.

Also, you might consider making your home folder a separate partition. That means you can reinstall and switch distros while leaving your documents and media and such in place. That said, partitioning manually is hard to get the hang of; let me know if you want some help on that front.

 

Hello all! My name's Evan, and I'm starting development on an idea I had a few years ago. The Synharmonium is (going to be) a microcontroller-based synthesizer with control elements based on the accordion and the Suzuki Omnichord, and an algorithm to solve the centuries old musical problem of versatile just intonation. Best case, this could have a huge impact on how western music is written and performed. Worst case, its a fun and easy synthesizer you can build at home.

But right now its not much more than an idea and a janky keyboard prototype. I am a student of computer engineering, and I have a non-zero amount of programming skill, but there's still a lot of gaps that I just don't have the experience needed to fill. I need someone who's good at programming, familiar with open-source development, has some spare time, and finds this idea interesting, to help me get the software side of the instrument going. If you can become a major contributor, I'd love to have you, but if you can just hang out in the matrix room and answer questions from time to time that would help a lot.
