I noticed this as well a few months ago and it did change the monitor brightness for real, but now it broke on my system and wont do it anymore

Secret i learned on my raspberry pi running stereo speakers on Kodi is you can set a seperate volume for the dialogue channel so i just bumped it up like 14 decibels and now it matches the action fairly well. You can set it from the audio settings inside the movie and its called something like center channel downmix i cant remember exactly

Not metal but these guys introduced me to between the buried and me which led me down the progmetal pipeline. This song is probably one of their proggiest songs id say. They also have done a btbam cover and btbam did a cover of their song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_p06LEnSfg

Cleaning up the whole $HOME/<.pkgname>/ situation for individual app settings by hschen in c/linux@lemmy.ml

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Base_Directory#Support, the situation is crap tbh and alot of devs refuse to even give you the option of switching to XDG standards for some reason. I started using flatpaks for most of my programs just to escape this.

I do know XDG standards are messy for devs to implement but at least have everything in .config or .local instead of spewing it across my home folder

Was looking for something to post here, found this album on spotify. their sound reminds me of An Abstract Illusion a bit, not bad on a first listen. This song in particular kinda sounds to me like the ending of Selkies from BTBAM

Any love for the new Avenged Sevenfold album?, listened to it about twice fully. Its a bit disjointed feeling at times, but im really digging this song in particular, also Ordinary is great

Reddit experimenting with blocking mobile browsers by hschen in c/technology@beehaw.org

Destroy reddit speedrun any% [WORLD RECORD]

Yeah the desktop site especially is why i wanted to leave reddit for the past few months, im happy they shot themselves in the foot the past week so we could move over to a different platform. I kept having to switch back to old.reddit just to see a NSFW post without an account, they made it so you cant even sort comments anymore without being logged in recently. Just malicious design. The website on mobile has been shit for years now asking you to USE THE MOBILE APP.

Beautiful melodies and orchestration. The Dear Hunter tells a 5 album story from start to finish. If you like music with a story check them out, they have a ton of repeated motifs across the 5 acts which reward relistens and connect into the storyline. You can look up the story online if you wanna know whats going on.
