Added the exa aliases. Nice to see pacman points exa to eza as the former is unmaintained.

Yes it’s quite similar to the scrobbling and recommendations of last.fm!

Listenbrainz has decent recommendations

Distro Chooser is giving you great advice. I love EndeavourOS. First started out on it with KDE, now I’m on sway, everything just works perfectly, so I can definitely recommend it!

Yunohost has a Lemmy app

Ex-banker president targets banks… Now that’d be quite an unexpecred headline! Shame it’ll never be.

Olauncher - very minimal, no distractions. Shows the app’s full name instead of icons, handfull of links on the main page, the rest can be found in the app drawer in a long list of app names.

Edit: just saw the mention here of mlauncher, an open source fork. Making the switch now 🙂

It’s very underwhelming. I loved the old ones, but this just feels awkward. I’m already sure this won’t have one percent of the hours I spent on Streets of Rage 4.

Do give Russell’s History of Western Philosophy a try. It places those books into a much needed context. When I first picked up that book, it was out of a hope to learn more about philosophy, but after finishing it, I only had those three books on my ‘definitely must read’ list. I know there’s a companion book to Das Kapital written by David Harvey, but he’s not the easiest to read either. And Marx, omfg, that mofo has a way of dancing around things for pages on end through the most labyrinthine sentences, so I can definitely commiserate! It took me months to get through the whole thing. Luckily I was in the middle of a move, without TV or computer, so that helped a lot :)

Wow perfect, thanks! I’d love to join the book club but I ditched Discord. This Bookwyrm instance will hopefully cure my itch! :)

Plato’s Republic.

I got really interested by its description in Bertrand Russell’s History of Western Philosophy. After reading the book, I realized how arbitrary the setup of current society is. Then I followed it up with More’s Utopia and Marx’ Das Kapital. A true Big Bang for my political views.
