Well, "epigone" is a new vocabulary word for me.

noun: epigone; plural noun: epigones; plural noun: epigoni

a less distinguished follower or imitator of someone, especially an artist or philosopher.

How does that work for a ship from a country like Cuba?

Do they hang it backward? I.e. With the red arrow pointing toward the pole?

What about Japan?

Not OP, but mostly inertia. I have a workflow. I have the programs I need to do what I want. Most of it is stuff I've had in place for years. Can I do those things on Linux? Probably, but I'd have to look into it.

That being said, my laptop doesn't officially support Windows 11, so the Windows 10 EoL in October will probably be the "external force" I need to format my drive and switch. Well done, Microsoft.

They can't suppress everyone flooding the system with the same message.

OK, but what message? I've seen a few announcements saying that there will be a protest, but the best "message" I've seen is "Say No To... *gestures broadly*".

That's not exactly a cohesive protest.

Edit: ok, this post has more information and plenty of discussion. Maybe I'm just subscribed to the wrong communities, but it seems like every post was just some variation of this image and no further information.

Soo... How does one get rid of it? I'm using the android app, though I recently switched to using the internal browser. Google play says all of my apps are up to date, so I'm not sure what changes I could make to update the PWA.

Edit: Well, I got rid of it by switching the "Open Links In" setting(Settings > General > Other) back to "Default Browser" and then restarting the app. After that, the red icon is gone. I switched the setting back to "In app" and restarted again. The red icon is still gone.

I'm not sure if just killing and relaunching the app, or toggling the option was the solution, but it's gone now.

Well, you can cross those off and call it even.

I enjoyed the original Dino Crisis, despite the clunky controls, but I never played the second one because I wasn't in the mood to deal with the same interface.

You're saying the controls are better? I might have to give this a shot after 25 years!

Anyone know how it runs on the Steamdeck? I'm aware that Heroic launcher exists, but I haven't looked into it yet.

OP sounds a little new to all of this, so they might need some elaboration on your terms. Most of the terms are pretty obvious once they are explained, but without clarification, they might be unclear.

I'm going to take a stab at it, but someone please correct me if I get something wrong.

Push/pull are referencing the movement of the exercise. For example, push exercises are ones where the muscle is being used to push the weight, so push-ups/press-ups are a push exercise because you are pushing. Pull exercises, conversely, are like rows, where your muscles are pulling the weight.

As far as I'm aware, bro splits are just focusing on a single muscle group each day/workout session. E.g. Monday: chest, Tuesday: back, Wednesday: legs, etc.

Calorie surplus is, of course, eating more calories than your body uses in a day. You can be at a caloric deficit, caloric maintenance, or caloric surplus, depending on whether you want to lose, maintain, or gain weight. Your body needs more ingredients if it's going to build more muscle. There are some formulas to give you an idea of your caloric maintenance, but they're just guidelines. That number is going to vary from person to person, and can change for you over time as you progress.

Training to failure is doing an exercise (with good form!) until you can't anymore. If you can do a lot of them, you probably need to increase the weight/resistance. One very important thing when training to failure is to keep good form, otherwise you increase the risk of injury. If you can't do it with good form, that is the point of failure, even if you could do more.

Progressive overload is just gradually increasing the weight, resistance, or reps as you progress. It should be a planned progression, not just deciding in the moment that you could do one more. For example, the first week you might do 3 sets of 10 reps at 100kgs. The next week, you could do 1 set of 11 followed by two sets of 10 at the same weight. Then 2 sets of 11 and 1 set of 10 reps. Eventually, you could drop back to 10 reps, but increase the weight.

I haven't played it, but isn't that what the Minecraft game Oasis is supposed to be?

From what I saw a few months ago, it has a ways to go, but it is playable.

If you accidentally do a nazi salute and then someone says "Hey bro, you really shouldn't do a nazi salute"

I like to think about how a person like that would react if they accidentally "acted gay". Can you imagine how much they would trip over themselves trying to make sure people knew it was a mistake?

If you don't have that level of response to being called a Nazi, you're probably a Nazi.

For anyone out of the loop, that's David Lynch.

Tangentially related, we lost Bob Uecker, too? I guess he decided it was time to "Get up! Get up! Get outta here!"

 

Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on how to create a playlist of songs from my library that have been released as "singles" or "Top 40s" across a time period?

Let's say I wanted to throw a 90s party, and I wanted to create a playlist from my library using only songs that people are likely to know. I recognize that's totally subjective, so maybe that's why I'm struggling to find what I want. I can create a playlist based on album release date, which gets me a bit of the way there, but the playlist is going to include a lot of "deep cut" tracks and whole albums that few people know. I'd rather not spend too long curating the list. I was hoping for a way to just find popular tracks, and it seems like basing it on "chart toppers" would be a good place to start. Ideally, it would be genre-independent, but limited to songs that got decent radio play, so Backstreet Boys to Korn to Shania Twain are fine. Yo Yo Ma maybe not so much.

It doesn't seem like Plex has information available in the filters to achieve that. It does have "Popularity" as an additional column header if I list my music by "Tracks", so I guess I could sort by that and limit the results to some value. It feels a little clunky, though, and I'm not sure where it's getting that information.

I know that Library Radio is a thing, but I can't seem to make it do what I want. I only have 4 stations on the web interface: "Library Radio", "Deep Cuts Radio", "Time Travel Radio", and "Random Album Radio". Clicking on them just starts playing music from a wide selection that I have no control over. I know that "Decade Radio" exists, but it doesn't seem to be giving me what I want, either. It frequently pulls instrumental tracks from movie soundtracks. I have "Smart Shuffle" enabled on my server. I'm not sure if that's helping or hurting my experience (I've seen some very mixed reviews on that feature). I also can't find "Decade Radio" on the web interface; it seems like Decade Radio is only available on Plexamp.

I'd rather just create a playlist. That way it would be available everywhere, and I could tailor it a little bit, if needed.

So, yeah... any tips? It seems like the "filter by decade, sort by popularity, and limit by count" might be my best option right now.
