I do not see circles, I see one ellipse with horizontal large axis.

Until you get them adjusted, you can get this kind of view (sort of), especially when you first pick them up and are bringing them to your eyes.

Once situated correctly (with the rubber eye cups touching your face so the lenses are the same distance away), your brain merges the images just like wearing glasses.

You can get this effect if the binoculars haven't been adjusted to match your pupillary distance (how far apart your pupils are).

wjrii ,

For film purposes though, it's an excellent way to keep the image filling most of the screen and to communicate the subtle contextual implications of the character's using binoculars rather than a telescope.

BearOfaTime ,

Oh, for sure. I take no issue with its use in film to communicate what's happening.

Just got a 2nd hand Pixel I am currently tinkering with/thinking about Degoogling. Is there a significant difference between Newpipe vs Revanced?

fl42v ,
  • Newpipe doesn't let you leave comments (which was the reason I personally switched to it -- I used to spend too much time commenting like half of the stuff I watched, and I watched a lot) or login with a Google account;
  • newpipe doesn't have sponsorblock (which is currently solved by using tubular; note that it may or may not become abandoned like previous attempts by other ppl);
  • newpipe lets you download video/audio (although, admittedly, having yt-dlp in termux is still more than handy for bulk downloads);
  • newpipe has better (imo) background playback: you can either play or enqueue both videos and playlists (note: I haven't used yt app for a while, so mb it also can do similar stuff)
  • newpipe doesn't need play services whatsoever;
  • newpipe's ui takes some time to get used to (imo)

Does it support custom playlists where you can "weight" each track and pitchshifting/time stretching? If so, this is enormous. Of all software, it's Musicbee that's keeping me tied to Windows more than anything else.

Smoking is dirty and bad for you, but other than that it's remarkable how indistinguishable these seem to me, given that the intent was obviously to offer a stark contrast.

Ephera ,

Yeah, I'm guessing, it was still a novel concept for a woman to sit comfortably.

CanadaPlus ,

Except 1600's woman has a footstool, and 1900's women doesn't, so that doesn't fit on it's own either.

The male dude who drew this apparently took issue with women's fashion magazines, probably for some sort of vanity-related reason, but that was a period where clothes got less complex and manufactured, so it's still ironic. That multilayered 1600's outfit is a great example. Maybe the footstool is to highlight the high heels, which might still have been in the period where it was a butch trend in imitation of cattlemen. The hair covering might also be significant.

The alcohol is pretty much the only other straightforward thing to interpret (although the glass might be a new style?), what with US and Canadian prohibition starting a few years later. Also, in my head cannon 1600's girl is reading from Song of Solomon.

Can I sort albums by original date?

Berny23 OP ,
@Berny23@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

You can use either y> or y< in the generator settings of a playlist to sort by year. You can use ypa to sort by year per artist.

SolarPunker ,

Sadly looks like you can't sort albums by original date (y:mm:dd)

They've been playing cat and mouse with google for a while now where google keep breaking youtube access from newpipe.

Thank you for this! I've been looking quite a while for a music player that can sort by date modified (or created) and this can pretty easily do it while looking nice too.

Massive appreciation to you for showing it to me

Try Cantata if you have Linux.

My goodness, thank you for this. I hope the project continues for a while!

I hope that too, this is by far the best player I have tried on Linux.

From those screenshots it does look quite nice! Visible ratings while scrolling albums is huge for me and I miss it. I migrated everything over to Strawberry from MusicBee this year because I only want FOSS, and Tauon appears to be GPL licenced! Strawberry absolutely works, but it still feels more like a settle. Gotta give this a try and see how it feels, thanks for the info!

Wheaties , to Terrible Estate Agent Photos in Raw

looks like a minecraft house. Honestly, that might do well with some people. If you were blind or hard of vision, it would be very easy to navigate by feel and memory.

If the wood wasn't sealed/finished a blind person would probably end up with a splinter

Moonrise2473 , to Terrible Estate Agent Photos in Raw

How much they could have possibly saved, considering also the expensive skilled labor to install it? £100 on a £2000 kitchen?

Agrivar ,

You might be surprised. Materials costs have skyrocketed since the pandemic. (I'm in the trades, not just talking out my ass)

Does it use embedded lyrics or insist on using the internet?

Secondarily, does it offer any of the more useful tagging controls and library management features?

I keep looking for a Linux native player that can get close to musicbee. Haven't found one yet, they all lack major features like batch file renaming and organization.

Berny23 OP ,
@Berny23@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

It always uses local lyrics when available, otherwise you have the option to right-click sidebar → search for lyrics (supports Genius and lyrics.ovh).

These are the options for metadata:

For actual tag management, I've used puddletag only. But there is some batch rename functionality in this player:
