I have mixed feelings about that company. They have some interesting things "going against the flow" like ditching the cloud and going back to on prem, hating on microservices, advocating against taking money from VCs, and now hiring juniors. On the other hand, the guy is a Musk fanboy and they push some anti-DEI bullshit. Also he's a TypeScript hater for some reason...

Unfortunately I've struggled with this myself :/ (moving to a new country didn't help either)

I'd say go for it if you get the chance. Playing with other people is a game changer in your music journey. Then it's not only focusing on your playing but also on what the others are playing, following the tempo, the dynamics...

Agree with Zero Mission. Second would be Dread and then Super. Haven't played Fusion tho, long overdue...

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

Usually artists go on tour after releasing a new album, to promote said album. So of course they're going to play new stuff.

The ideal for me is a good balance. Some new songs mixed with the classics.

I liked Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport. I found myself reaching for my phone more often than I would few years back, and doomscrolling at nights, and I got some good tips from this book.

I wouldn't say it solved all of my issues and I will be taking a look at the other books recommended here. But it did help me reduce screen time and focus more on tasks without feeling that I have to look at my phone every 5 minutes.

Bochum avoids relegation in epic playoff comeback against Düsseldorf (www.youtube.com)
 

They turned around a 3-0, and won in penalties (6-5, went to sudden death)

I think more leagues should have relegation playoffs. One last chance of salvation for the upper team, one last chance of promotion for the lower team, and a thrilling game for the neutral fans.

Got annoyed by my gym (sopuli.xyz)
 

So I joined a new gym last year and was pleasantly surprised. They gave me a smart card to get in and out, that's it, no app, no accounts, no nothing. Well, today I got to the gym and saw the announcement that they are phasing out the access with the smart card and starting to use, you guessed it, an app.

Now, I know this is not such a big deal in the grand scheme of things. But I'm just tired of this trend of replacing perfectly functioning systems with apps (public transport tickets come to mind). Just more ways to harvest people's data, I guess...

Ah and by the way, in my previous gym they not only required an app for accessing the place, they also incentivized people to track their workouts, meals and bodyweight using the gym's app (of course I never used any of these features).

Actually had to use this old friend at work the other day (sopuli.xyz)
 

They keep this 20+ year old laptop around because it has a serial port and every now and then that comes in handy.

You can't really see it in the picture but the laptop is pretty thick and heavy.

Games with graphics resembling PS1 or PS2? (sopuli.xyz)
 

So recently I was thinking how games with pixel art graphics are popular nowadays, and I was wondering if there are new games being made with other kinds of "retro" graphics, for example, games that look like the PS1 or PS2 eras.

Any recommendations?
