The one podcast I listen to every week as it comes out is Lateral, a trivia show hosted by Tom Scott with rotating guests.

Other than that, I have a thing for casual and conversational history podcasts, including:

• The Lesser Bonapartes (old but gold, the full backlog’s only available on spotify under the title ‘From the desk of Glen’)
• Dead Ideas
• Some ‘leader ranking’ podcasts with the same formula: Rex Factor (British monarchs), Totalus Rankium (Roman Emperors and then American Presidents) and Pontifacts (Popes)

Make sure to follow it up with Robin Pearson’s History of Byzantium. He’s still centuries away from done, but I like it even better than Mike Duncan’s after it gets going.

You’re welcome!! Hope it serves you and your cousin well :)

Carl Humpfries’s Piano Handbook and Piano Improvisation Handbook are great, and cover enough for even an absolute beginner. I like noodling around with no previous musical knowledge, and they work very well for that. I think both include pretty decent sections on rhythms, and discuss pretty varied styles.

I’ve never had this as an issue with KDE. Do you have the command for prime render offloading on the Steam launch options? I usually launch my games through Lutris and it handles that pretty well.

Is that Tyrek Lannister?

I usually prefer having any side machines running something more stable than the main one, as I’m always bound to use and mantain them less often.

Good luck finding something more stable than Debian tho. Maybe something like LMDE, that just got a new version out and is looking great, or trying out an immutable distro.

Don’t patents expire faster than copyright tho?

At $200, what’s the catch?

The one the Gnome team is working on right now, as described here.

The basic premise of rearranging windows at an optimal size, without stretching them out to fill fractions of the screen, seems like the perfect medium between floating and tiling.

I’m not a Gnome user, but I’m geniunely hyped for the new tiling feature. If KDE doesn’t get something similar soon I might change DE just for that.

Anything by The Correspondents:

Fear and Delight

Inexplicable

All done with practical effects and camera trickery. The making of videos are amazing: first second.

Also shoutout to the parody song Climate Change Denier.

Same goes for Tron Legacy.

KDE with Tela icons, Breeze cursor and Nordic theming. I experimented with a few different themes with the Nord colorscheme, but it seems like Nordic is still the best looking and most consistent.

Only 95?

How do you think LMDE and MX compare to just installing Debian directly, these days?

Some of the inventions that historically took way longer than you’d expect: the shoe, the wheelbarrow, and the stirrup.

Also archival techniques so that history’s not as messy the next time around.

How do you like Atkinson Hyperlegible?? I’ve heard good things about it from visually impaired people, but I’m not clear on how much it helps with dyslexia.

Thank god that’s changing tho. CK3 and (though to a lesser extent) Vicky 3 both have relatively decent tutorials.
