Yup, Bandcamp. You can also click on "Genres", then clicking on any genre will propose further subgenres. So currently i'm in a atmospheric black metal phase. Going to "metal", "black Metal", then "atmospheric black metal" shows me bands i might like.
Obviously genres are very fluid and sometimes subjective, but as a general tool to find music they work for me.
It's the middle thing between not gifting something specific but also no just giving money. Sometimes you are not sure what exactly a person wants, but giving money directly might feel too unpersonal? Other than that, i completely agree with you that it sucks. Stores must love them though, they already have the money without having to provide a service / product and then many people will forget, the gift cards expire etc. I'm of the opinion that the cards shouldn't expire, or at least have a very high expiration date (like minimum 10 years).
I've written a bash script i'm using daily, maybe you can adapt it to your needs. I'm using pipewire-pulse. It's probably not perfect but it does the job:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
DEVICE=$1
# read input, parse list of available sinks (outputs)
if [ "$DEVICE" = "pc" ]
then
OUTPUT=($(pactl list short sinks | awk '{print $2}' | grep -i -E 'hdmi|samson|Targus' -v))
elif [ "$DEVICE" = "tv" ]
then
OUTPUT=($(pactl list short sinks | awk '{print $2}' | grep -i -E 'hdmi'))
else
echo "No valid input (must be either 'pc' or 'tv')"
exit -1
fi
# get all currently connected streams
INPUTS=($(pactl list short sink-inputs | awk '{print $1}'))
# change default sink (for new audio outputs)
pactl set-default-sink $OUTPUT
# switch sink for existing audio outputs
for i in "${INPUTS[@]}"
do
pactl move-sink-input $i $OUTPUT
done
# use notify-send to send a visual notification to the user that the sink changed
notify-send -c info "Default sink changed" "Changed default sink and sink-inputs to $OUTPUT"
Thanks, i keep missing this!
There is a good movie about this called "The Lunchbox": https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/191714-the-lunchbox
It's not exactly about the lunchbox system, but the Dabbawala system is pretty central to the movie.
High Fidelity (2000) ⭐ 7.4 | Comedy, Drama, Music
I stole your title template @[email protected] because i like it :)
I like the actresses and actors, especially John Cusack (who is just a fantastic actor in general) and Jack Black, who stands out in another role that just feels like it's made for him (the other being School of Rock).
The film also makes good use of its soundtrack and music in general and has some funny scenes, along with a simple but well paced main plot.
Can second this recommendation, very good movie! Spoilers ahead:

I love the fact that it is a movie about aliens without any violent conflict but rather focused on interacting with the aliens some way
If you are "forced" to use WhatsApp because many of your contacts are using it, you could use it to run WhatsApp and set-up a bridge to Matrix: https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/go/setup.html?bridge=whatsapp
Not exactly the same, but the swiss administration have their own mastodon instance: https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/business/swiss-authorities-to-join-social-media-alternative-mastodon/48808086

It seems to be down right now, but if i remember correctly this one also works when you are using a terminal and curl, i.E. curl wttr.in/newyork
Edit: It works again, you can use the command as written above :D
If you are below a certain taxable income you get a reduction to premiums, which is pretty nice. This happens automatically based on your last tax report, so it's not a case of aid being available, but not being used because people don't know about it or are too shy to ask for it.
Obviously this doesn't solve the problem of rising premiums / health costs, but at least it helps people with small incomes.
You are right, my mind probably just jumped to Major :) It's called "Ryiadh Masters 2023" officially
Check out game 1 of the Ryiadh Major Playoffs
Pretty great game already, first game of the playoffs.
teams
Quest Esports and Talon Esports

Talon wins it after Quest sucessfully defend against mega creeps for some time.
Maybe Broadchurch? British crime series with David Tennant, Jodie Whittaker (two doctors) and Olivia Colman
Letztes Jahr war es Sonnencreme - die habe ich dort gekauft weil ich befürchtete dass mir meine mitgenommene ausgeht. Jetzt hat sich herausgestellt dass das die beste Sonnencreme ist, die ich jemals gekauft habe. Zieht super ein, riecht kaum und war sogar etwas günstiger als in der Schweiz :D
Thanks, that sounds like a good mix between story and gameplay.
Thanks for the suggestion, already read and enjoyed it :)
Thanks for the thread. I'm not sure why Secret picked Drow into Storm (in first pick phase as well)? Crystallys can't hit anything in these fights, he's just getting jumped all the time
Don't have time right now and i never played the originals, but i read great things. Seems like a pretty weird mix between mechanics, but great if the developers pulled it off. Glad to hear you're enjoying it as well!
Is there a story or is it "just" mission after mission?
One of my favourite movies ever. Campy at times yes, but it's just so much fun and also contains the odd commentary about society (i think, I'm horrible about picking up cues like this).
The Mask of Mirrors by M.A. Carrick.
It's fantasy, but feels pretty fresh to me with the focus being on the main characters trying to con a rich family and less of the more usual (but no less fun) adventuring, combat etc. (at least so far, I'm still very early in the book).
