Don't get me wrong, I use Beets for my entire library, but it doesn't solve any of the issue OP has. It does not get metadata from streaming sites or anywhere else, but same as Picard from Musibrainz. It does not allow to manually change metadata of music you are importing. On the contrary, for that Picard is the better tool as it allows that.
There are not many advantages of using Beets over Picard, apart from CLI, and especially for the OP use case.
Czechia, same here. Same old Russia wants to invade all of Europe so we have to defend ourselves.
I am pretty sure that is a prerequisite to becoming US president.
Not sure if it is illegal in Germany, but laws usually aren't so specific. Where I live we basically made “From river to the sea” illegal, because “it promotes genocide”.
I have had my first dnd game few days ago. Now I am getting more into 3d printing miniatures, studying how to role-play, and trying to create a good character.
I kinda get it in this instance. It has similar energy to people that are leftists and want to use the US flag. Bald eagle is only used as symbol in US, so I am not a fan either.
I think we should try to be more careful, not to automatically assume that everyone who is asking questions here about China/Ukraine etc. is always arguing in bad faith. I've seen multiple people who were genuinely trying to ask something here and the only response they got was mockery.
I do understand that a lot of times people who come here are trying to troll or just be annoying, but we still should try to engage in them in good faith as long as there is no reason not to do so. Not everyone who isn't from Lemmygrad is someone hostile to our ideology, and we should try to be kinder to them.
Interesting, probably a Czech thing then. We like to pretend we are part of the Western Europe, or at least Central Europe (as opposed to the uncivilized east). You often even get maps of Western Europe like this:
I think the most interesting part is Germany and Switzerland not being part of the West Europe. Anytime someone uses the term Central Europe, it seems to me just trying to be not considered Eastern Europe.
Unfortunately, misogyny is extremely prevalent in popular media. And not just in media. I myself always only considered women as my equal and as human beings (it is terrible that this is something that needs to be said…). But even so, I always find that there is some deep-rooted misogynistic concept that I picked up and have to educate myself out of.
One thing to consider there is that CPUs are much more efficient now. So if it is a really old laptop, it might consume quite a low of power.
I recently switched to nixos which makes dependency management and configuration itself much easier. Probably the best option to run things on bare metal IMO.
I have been using Gentoo exclusively for about two years and really enjoyed it. The customization and package manager is just top-notch. I have been curious about NixOS for some time, just randomly seeing it pop in some discussion, but never really looked into it. One day YouTube recommends this video about flakes for development instead of using Dockerfiles.
It intrigued me because I am not really fan of Dockerfiles. In my experience, it is too easy for something to break and pretty hard to maintain them properly. Plus, it is really annoying to use them for development.
So I started looking into Nix and then NixOS and created a new partition and installed it and so far it is a pretty interesting experience. The system is pretty customizable, and it is nice having the entire system described in configuration files. I could see myself using the same config for my laptop and desktop and just sync them. It is really nice and easy to have your entire system configuration in git repo, much easier than what I used with things like etckeeper.
So far there are only few issues I encountered. Not every package is implemented properly, so some configuration is the same old story of using files in /etc or maybe just specifying a configuration file in your config. I've also read about some issues with Nix not using FHS (Filesystem Hierarchy Standard) for example Steam had some issues but so far I didn't encounter them. Also, the documentation is not what I am used to coming from Gentoo, but it is still usable.
The last issue I have is not really an issue. It is pretty time-consuming to make your entire configuration, especially if you want to use flakes. I've been slowly adding more and more but so far only into default configuration.nix and would love to rewrite it completely into flakes, but it takes time.
So far I didn't decide that I would be not going back to Gentoo, but it is fascinating experience. I am especially curious how will this impact my development workflow because it should be much easier to control dependencies per project. Especially with something like Python (always really hated using venvs).
Anyone else trying NixOS or using it already?
I am not going to analyze both of these the same way as your first source, but, firstly, the second one is not even a paper, just a bunch of graphs with no methodology etc. Secondly, I would look at where are your sources coming from. Both of these are not scientific institutions and both of these are basically from the same source, which is conservative “think tank”.
If you want someone who explains how these statistics are often misleading, I would look at this video. It basically deals with the exact same arguments from Lauren Southern.
Please don't use random articles as sources for such statements. At least use something that is based on some real research, even though it is often flawed.
First of all it is not from the USA but from New Zealand. I am not saying that a study that is done on one country cannot provide some useful insight, but you should be aware of that, especially in studies like this. Societal norms are widely different across the world, so trying to argue for something like this should be done from research across the world.
You think alcohol and drug abuse leads to a healthy life?
No, and I never claimed to. Personally, I really don't like both alcohol and drug use. But I certainly wouldn't make such sweeping statements as.
It is a sign of deep internal instability
Alcohol use in particular is highly culturally dependent. For example, my country is one of the highest alcohol consumers per capita, but we are a fairly happy country (at least as much as possible in this capitalist hellhole).
Btw, I just looked at the original study that that article is based on. It only concerned itself with cannabis and alcohol, and it didn't differentiate between those two. So again, not really a good source. Overall, I wouldn't base your opinion on something on one random article, especially when it just tries to summarize a paper. Try to at least read the original paper.
Why can you not see it comes down to these people hating the concept of committing to a partner, using each other like meat, thus revealing personality issues and internalised horrible ideas of how a society should be?
Source? I could think of many reasons why. People don't know what they like, so they want to explore both romantically and sexually. People evolve and change over time, and sometimes the partner they though are perfect actually wasn't. Or there are people that don't mind that their partners are having sex with other people. There are so many explanations of why someone would want to have sex with multiple partners, I really don't see why you would come to such a conclusion.
Did you not even read that article? First of all, all the participants are from one country, which in itself limits its usefulness. Secondly, there is a huge issue with correlation/causation, is it that people who engage in casual sex might engage in more drinking/drugs?
Most importantly, even if we disregard everything above, it would prove nothing. It just says that people who have lots of sex also drink/use drugs more. It even mentions it in the article itself, the likely reason why women are more affected is due to the societal pressures.
We live in a society that is very hostile to polygamy. Which is probably the reason most people would find negative consequences for engaging in it. This will be the same for any people that are engaging in something considered “weird”.
