One of the first song I learned on the acoustic guitar is Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) by Green Day. Really easy song, 4 chords in total, no barre.

Keep in mind that is always best to learn songs you like: some might be hard but you’ll be more satisfied when you get it. If you look for chords or tabs, Ultimate Guitar is a great resource

Cars shaped city planning, housing and by consequence our lifestyle, making us more dependent on them to get through your day. You can see it expecially in European cities that were built in medieval/reinassance times: if you live and work in the older parts you can totally do without a car. If you move a few kilometers out, not having one becomes a real handicap

No need to be sarcastic, I’m not attacking anyone on a personal level.

I know this thread is about songs, in fact I wanted to give credit to the people who actually had an active part in writing these songs (not just producing).
I know people cannot always credit every member working behind a piece of music, like it’s a scientific paper, but if you’re a lover of this art sometimes is nice to stop and be curious about who these people are and how they work. If you don’t you’re just a consumer, which is fine but you’re missing a big part of the process.

What short?

Max Martin is the genius working behind most of the artists mentioned in this thread. The dude is a total hit parade machine and the fact that no one said his name tells me a lot about how music is perceived in the mainstream.

[…] 8-10 hour long episodes.

“Now with even more desert panoramics, elegantly scored with Hans Zimmern uninterruptedly farting in an empty can of beans”

My criticism is in fact focused on how the movie was directed, interpreted and cut, I didn’t mention the story.
Also, the comparison with The Lord of The Rings is a bold move my friend… I mean, I understand that’s about “being just a part of a longer story”, but the Fellowship of the Ring is a brilliant example of how a movie should be directed, interpreted and cut.

Sometimes you just want to switch your brain off for a couple hours and watch things go BOOM.
It’s something I can totally get behind, although I understand it’s not something everyone enjoys

I also havo to see part 2, I just have to wait for my mouth to stop foaming in anger every time someone mentions the word “Dune”

No, never read the books, never read the comics, haven’t seen the one from Jodorowsky.
And I don’t really know anything about the production process: I judge it solely on what I saw, as any entertainment product should be.

New one.
3 hours of soulless cash grab capitalyzing on the fact that we had been starved of cinema for 2 years and everyone was so hyped to come back no one wanted to admit the movie was a boring mess of everyone involved sucking his own dick instead of working together for a good product.
I don’t want to see the twentieth 4 minutes desert panoramic: it’s a fucking desert, we get it can we move on? Or the stupidly intense stares between Chalamet and Rebecca Ferguson in random situations: you two are stranded in the desert drinking your own sweat and piss, why are you looking at each other like you’re going to fuck?

What makes you stand out?

Standing up

Dune.

Shower me with downvotes, I don’t care.

In addition to other people’s comments, flatpaks are usually more up to date than their apt counterpart (expecially those from the debian stable repositories).
I run debian and I deliberately installed some software from flatpak (eg. Ardour and Guitarix) because the deb package is a whole version behind.

Windows '95. My mom didn’t know the concept of backwards incompatibility and got it second hand in 2001. It was hard to find something that would run on it beyond Doom.

On Sunday mornings I fix bicycles at the local community center for free, we just charge the price of materials.
For me is like Zen meditation, it makes my mind focus on one simple task in these crazy times where our attention span is all over the place. And it’s good for our community since most of the people that come there are broke college students, families having a hard time and in general people who want to spend time together. Our group is always growing, I’m expecially proud of two kids, children of immigrants, who came to learn from us two years ago and now managed to save enough money to open their own bike repair shop.

THANK YOU FOR ASKING, NO IT’S NOT.

I know the name ‘Linux’ is used to identify a family of OSs, but in reality it is actually only the kernel (the part of the system that allows hardware and software to communicate)

I wish people could stop trying to teach everyone that Linux isn’t the OS

Over my dead body!

I could use flatpak to get the newest version, but could I then get rid of the pre installed old version?

Of course you can and if you decide to go down this route you should take a look at Flatseal that can help you with flatpak permissions and theming.

debian’s default graphics look also prehistoric. Can I change that installing other styles?

Debian installs Desktop Environments without any theming, just plain vanilla DEs and in most cases, expecially with XFCE, they are not that pretty out of the box. You can still theme it to look and work the way you prefer.

with debian you are asked to choose the environment: xfce, mate… how troublesome is to change those after installation?

sudo apt install new-desktop-environment, log out and log back in selecting a different desktop in the display manager: piece of cake

This doesn’t mean that xubuntu has bloatware, but simply much more pre installed packages, right?

Keep in mind that the 0.7gb debian image is the “netinstall”, which pulls software from repository instead of installing it directly. There are also debian “DVD” images that can be up to 4gb as well. And yes, Xubuntu has more bloatware but not as much as you might believe

Never felt it as judgement :)
