Made a discord soundboard bot. Some simple text channel commands get the bot to join whatever voice channel you're in and get the bot to display available sounds as buttons in the text channel. It actually works really well and sounds great.

My friends and I just wanted a bigger soundboard without having to pay for it.

There's a certain irony behind the source info being from the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library & Museum website.

I'll pitch that this is just the natural result of repealing the fairness doctrine by Reagan in 1985.

The fairness doctrine started out in 1949 as a policy to avoid having the top broadcaster's of the time (NBC, ABC, and CBS) create a biased public agenda by leveraging their audience monopoly. They were required to provide multiple contrasting view points on issues of public importance.

When Reagan repealed the fairness doctrine, the influence on media outlets to pitch left or right leaning view points only, took off.

No doubt. It's not much of a complaint, but rather an advisory. I still main duckduckgo of for no other reason than to avoid the mounting ads on Google

I hopped on board the duck duckgo train a short while ago ( 6 months ). I've had no real issues with it except for one thing. If some event occurs and gains popularity very quickly ( within the span of a couple days ), it doesn't really show up at the forefront of the search results.

A decent example is when I was looking up the Willy's Chocolate Factory event fiasco. I was specifically looking for images from the event to forward to my brother bc that entire event was hilarious. I had trouble with ducksuckgo. I fell back to Google image search for more ease of use.

Sorry. I think it was gnome I was thinking about. The display configuration for gnome allows for specifying layout and advanced profiles when it detects certain monitors are plugged in. Things like dpi, font size, etc. I have a computer hooked up to my TV that runs gnome and another that upstairs running kde

I'm away from my computer right now, so Im not 100% sure, but I think you can set display profiles. You should be able to set a display profile that will auto load on login and should set your display options that you want. Maybe this can work despite the colord issues?

I'll verify if kde display profiles are a thing and if they can help your use case tomorrow.

I've mostly done hobby projects with rust.

  • axum + mongodb + oauth2 (just basic rest api)

  • rust-bert ( for some nlp stuff. Zero-shot, NER, etc.)

  • Bevy ( I was following a tutorial for a super basic space invaders game)

I chose rust because I always like to have some kind of systems level programming language on my belt. It used to be c++. Rust had seemed very interesting so I began trying it out more and more. It's awesome.

Sorry for late reply. I just now noticed this.

The difference would be that a browser would likely have multiple web pages fighting for resources whereas the dedicated client would not have to fight over so many resources.

The OS has a dedicated task scheduler that alots cpu time to each process. Some processes get preferential treatment, but most processes started on user space ( i.e.double click UI icon) are just "normal" priority.

When a task scheduler hits on a process, that process can start executing whatever it needs to do. The problem with running discord in a browser is that the application is splitting its attention across multiple pages ( and probably other stuff ) instead of a single page.

Basically, it's faster to focus on painting a single canvas than it is to painting 3 at the same time.

I'm not going to discuss shared memory and separate processes or forking. You can goggle search if you want to know more about that.

I think the embryos are also thrown in the trash. Are these where dumpster babies come from?

I have a framework laptop and endeavour os with gnome de. I've had no problems with it. I mainly use it for dev work and web browsing. I enabled gnome muli-gesture (basically the same gestures on a Mac trackpad). I've had no problems with that either.

I'd recommend it.
