Are you listening some music while reading ? Which kind of ? in c/books@lemmy.ml
[–] MrKurtz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Sometimes yes, but it depends a lot on the book. Also, each book might call for a different type of music. Best fit I can think of, was listening to Beethoven while reading The unbearable lightness of being.

Either way, always no lyrics, and often try to avoid songs I know so I can't hum or sing along.

Gym recommendations (lemmy.world)
 

Can you share your gym recommendations? Please include where the gym is and why you would recommend it.

Bouldering-focus. Good size, good settings, not usually overcrowded.

Bouldering-focus. Small, good settings, very cozy and friendly.

Mix between sport climbing and bouldering, probably leaning more towards sport climbing. Huge - biggest climbing gym in Europe. Usually crowded during peak hours, but opens early and closes late so you can easily avoid them. Great settings, good variety. Other activities in the same place - yoga, fitness, etc.

Suggestions for creator PC build (lemmy.world)
 

Hi there! I am thinking about building my first PC, which will be mainly used for photo and video editing (Photoshop, Lightroom and Adobe Premiere Pro / Davinci Resolve).

Can you advise on what would be the best key components for such a build? (GPU, Processor, motherboard, monitor...)

My thought at the moment is that I should probably invest most of my budget in the processor (i9-13900k?) and then just get an "okay" GPU (maybe something from the Nvidia 30 series, or low tier 40 series, even something used??) since photo and video editing programs wouldn't really get the most out of it anyway.

Don't really have a clue about what motherboard would be best for the use the PC is going to have. Happy to hear suggestions and things to look for.

Finally, what would be good monitor options for color fidelity, within a reasonable budget of ~ $300?

Is there anything else that I should keep in mind when building a creator PC?

Thanks!

Sync for Reddit is dead, long live Sync for Lemmy in c/syncforlemmy@lemmy.world

This is great news. I have signed up!

I must say, despite of how awesome Sync for Reddit was, I think we should all try not to go overboard with our expectations of what the first version of Sync for Lemmy will be. This is testing ground for all developers and expecting the same level of polishment that an app had on its 22nd version might be detrimental to the actual experience.

We know what ljdawson is capable of, so let's support him, let's enjoy his work (I am sure Sync for Lemmy v1.0 will still be awesome), but let's also give him time to refine his product on a new platform. I don't know what is involved in the development of this new app, but I do see some points where all other Lemmy apps are struggling, so I can only assume this enterprise presents some new challenges. It is only fair to give him some room for growth and not expect absolute greatness from scratch.
