Blackalicious - Blazing Arrow One of the greatest albums of all time. If you like Dilla and DOOM that’s the only logical choice.

3·2 years agoSame. The OP article is interesting, but was hoping for more than a few wiki links of past instances. Is there more verifiable evidence for this instance? Don’t doubt the claim, just curious.

Technology@lemmy.world•Nas’ 'Illmatic' Was the Beginning of the End of the AlbumEnglish
91·2 years agoAbsolutely agree. I’d argue Blazing Arrow by Blackalicious is one of the greatest albums of all time. And that came out in 2002, eight years after Illmatic. Blazing Arrow is such a seamless and well thought out album from start to finish. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blazing_Arrow

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is there a way to get recommendations for "underrated" songs, or music that is awesome but I might not come across? For instance, I really loved the Peacemaker soundtrack...
71·2 years agoIt takes maybe six months of skipping tracks
Lol, I look forward to good results by the end of the year? Maybe not the best algorithm after all.
I personally don’t have one particular way of discovering new music. It’s a mix of suggestions from different apps or friends. Shazam during movies and TV also helps guide some discoveries. Also just clicking through a rabbit hole of suggestions and marking stuff you like for future digging.

7·2 years agoNot trying to call you out or anything, just my googlefu couldn’t find anything about any government jobs that did this. All I found was companies and other countries that were trying it out.
I feel like it would be big news if that was an option for people seeking employment anywhere.

Technology@lemmy.world•MPA & ACE Rack Up Over 3,000 Pirate Site Domain SeizuresEnglish
21·2 years agoThe article mentions “Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment”. https://www.alliance4creativity.com/
Looks like a group that takes down piracy websites.
I assume MPA refers to “The Motion Picture Association”. They keep changing their name: “The MPA, originally called the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America (MPPDA) and later the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA)”, then abbreviated to MPA.
Just clarifying the abbreviations since it isn’t really explained/articulated in the article.

Technology@lemmy.world•Gel and lithium-ion tech could enable 1000-mile EV range on one chargeEnglish

boardgames@feddit.de•Azul: I wrote a program to calculate the optimal 17-move placement: 113 total pointsEnglish
3·3 years agoAs mentioned, the first outcome would end the game in turn 14 and also be impossible to place in the first phase of the game. The second solution comes closer but weighs heavily on getting two tile types to get there.
I just got the game and have been loving it but there are many more variables to solve this. Some examples are: group size, and random tiles drawn.
Thanks for the information! I’ll look into it, sorry for my ignorance on the dev, just wasn’t aware of it.
No worries. I try to stay informed but there are to many projects to keep up. Keep us updated on the progress if you can, but an individual dev might lack the manpower for such an endeavor. All the best thought, am always happy to see any foss projects moving forward!
Neither your post or the link for the fundraising even says what the project is or what it does. I assume it’s a foss browser or Operating system (maybe), but there is a lack of information upfront. I could look it up, but as of now I’m not sure why if a simple explanation could be added to either. Firefox is my go-to browser, if this could be a better fork or alternative I’d like to know that before funding any project. Also, 12k seems like a lot more than what is tallied in the costs, but good luck to the dev/project!

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Doesn't each community being local to each instance split the audience?
1·3 years agoSure, but I feel like there is still fluctuation and more often than not a varying degree of activity and posts that it makes it hard to stick to just one (identical) community for now. I’m sure it’ll settle over time though.

1·3 years agoThat’s pretty cool, I haven’t tried out Kbin yet, might have to check it out!


These are all really good answers, but yours really nailed it for me. Such a fascinating development and change in infrastructure. Thank you for such a well thought out and informed reply.
