At first I was... wow, no shit! Open source Winamp!

But then I went through the Github issues (because, 6 hours since first commit and already 5 issues open?). As someone else put it, "This has got to be the most embarrassing open-sourcing i've seen to date.". The licensing is a mess, the coverup is a dumpster fire. By tomorrow this is going to be as viral as Twitter's "open sourcing" of its recommendation algorithm they did last year. Not sure if I should make coffee or popcorn in the morning.

Soo, starting tomorrow

Data is beautiful, the legend and title are awful.

Added an extra shelf to my shoe rack today. After measuring, cutting, drilling, even made little notches below the shelf, barely putting the shelf in because of hinges in the way, vacuuming the mess, halfway packing up my tools and call it a successful day and... doors won't close because of the hinges on the doors hitting the shelf. Moved it 5mm lower after drilling another set of holes.

They also don't really care about credit ratings.

Exactly. Credit scores are a scam and an incentive into having a credit card and overdrafting.

Instead, there are laws that restrict you from buying or mortgaging at a monthly cost higher than x% of your monthly income

It's called "level of indebtedness" or "financial burden" and it's typically 40% of net monthly income. So you cannot get a loan that would put your total monthly installments (counting all of your credits) above 40% of your income.

The Dutch don't live off of credit cards the way North Americans do

in the Netherlands, many people don't even have a credit card

And I would say most of Europe.

When I pointed that out in another thread, people got butthurt.

😂 That's what Muskrat wanted you to believe. Engineers and people with more than 2 brain cells have debunked the Hyperloop idea for years. Here's one of them from 7 years ago.

If you define "stupid" as "lacking critical thinking skills", then I agree.

Deleting my social media accounts, migrating from yahoo/google mail, using a password manager, using an ad blocker, frequent backups, all kinds of scripting automations for work, Plex, home automation, learning to fix stuff around the house by myself (some plumbing, some electrical, whatever is safe and easier - it's hard to come by a good, available specialist these days).

Am I the only one not being able to use a controller in first-person games that usually require a mouse to look around / shoot / etc?

This is the reason I avoided buying and playing FPS games or ie Portal, BotW, etc. I find it clunky and first game I tried with sticks on the controller I dumped after the first 10 minutes and switched to playing on a PC, regretting spending the money.

I just prefer scrollers or fixed-cam games for this reason.

Maybe I'm old, but I don't get the 30-minus year-olds being so agile with it.

Do you have any tips on improving myself on this?

Yumi Arai - Hikō-ki Gumo (www.youtube.com)

I've learned of Yumi Matsutoya (松任谷由実) / Yumi Arai by real name from the anime The Wind Rises (Kaze Tachinu).

I don't normally watch anime, but big studios like Gibli and directors like Hayao Miyazaki are the exception. A few songs from Yumi made to my playlist since then.

I highly recommend Ben Eater's channel. He's a good teacher, took his time and dedicated months to build quality content in video format, which is a rarity on Youtube these days.
