Installing Guix as a Complete GNU/Linux System - System Crafters
11mon 16d ago in linux@lemmy.ml from systemcrafters.netThanks! I think I need to set up the service first in my config.scm, right?
Could you share how you do that? It didn't work last time I tried it (using Nix on top of Guix).
What's the most niche genre you like?
1y 13d ago in music@lemmy.mlAt least the stuff I like (if it would actually be called ‘drumstep’, which I’m not certain about) is generally quite a bit slower than drum’n’bass.
Depends on what you mean slower. Drum and bass is in the 160-180 BPM range. Halftime is in the same range, but the drums are slower -- typically the snare hits less frequently.
Is that not what drum’n’bass is doing, too? I don’t think I’ve ever heard a drum’n’bass track that wasn’t halftime with some kind of two step pattern.
Drum and bass is typically 2-step, but not halftime. For example: Lost Friends by Halogenix is classic 2-step drum and bass, but Orange by Halogenix & Two Fingers is halftime. Both tracks are in the 170-175 range, yet they sound quite different. Both are considered drum and bass and easily mixable with each other.
The two tracks you mentioned in your other comment are both halftime. One is 160 BPM, the other is 172 (I checked in Mixxx). That is drum and bass territory. If they were slower, around 140-150, they would probably be classified as dubstep. To be honest, genre labeling doesn't really matter because producers tend to experiment a lot. But you'll have much more success searching for "halftime" than "drumstep" for the style you like.
It's easier to understand drumstep as a subgenre of drum and bass. It has the same tempo as drum and bass but employs a halftime 2-step drum pattern like dubstep, using synth sounds that are also reminiscent of dubstep.
Drumstep was popular in the early 2010s but it's mostly out of fashion today. Some classic examples are Rob Swire's drumstep remix of Witchcraft or Knife Party's Bonfire.
People still produce halftime drum and bass tracks today but they use much deeper basses and sounds reminiscent of breaks/garage/techno, not 2010s dubstep sounds. That style is more known as simply "halftime". Ivy Lab are classic, reputable halftime producers.
Is there a way to apply settings only to some websites?
1y 2mon ago in librewolf@lemmy.mlDepends on the system you are using, but the principle is the same.
First, you need to set up your profiles in about:profiles. Then, you launch these profiles with firefox -P "<profile name>" in your terminal. Once that works, you can use anything that can launch programs via keybindings. It's easier on window managers. For example, in my Hyprland config, I have the following lines:
bind = SUPER, Z, exec, $browser -P "default"
bind = SUPER SHIFT, Z, exec, $browser -P "lesser"
SUPER+Z launches my hardened browser (no JS), SUPER+SHIFT+Z launches my vanilla browser (JS enabled, some options turned off). The $browser variable is set to GNU Icecat, a Firefox fork.
You can create separate profiles with different settings. That means you will have to use a different profile (a separate browser instance) for some websites. I personally launch each profile with keybindings.

GIMP 3.0.0 RC1 Released
1y 7mon ago in linux@lemmy.ml from gitlab.gnome.orgThat is true. IIRC, Krita is the only one of the 3 that has native CMYK support.
In my experience, Inkscape can be used as a professional replacement for Illustrator. It has never crashed on me. There may be some limitations, but nothing super inconvenient or something there isn't a workaround for.
GIMP, on the other hand, is a mixed bag. I believe Krita is a much better candidate to be used professionally than GIMP. GIMP has an objectively bad UI, has weird quirks for very simple tasks, and is prone to crashes. I use GIMP for simple image editing and Krita for more complex projects. GIMP 3.0 is their best chance to fix their reputation and I'm hopeful it will deliver.
If you don't have time to try them yourself, follow creators who use them and check their workflow. I recommend Davies Media Design on YouTube for great videos on Inkscape especially.
Edit: No program is completely immune to crashes, it's good practice to routinely save projects no matter how stable or unstable the program is.
e-waste go brrrrrrr
1y 7mon ago in linux@lemmy.ml from lemmy.mlUpdate 2 months later: this was it. I just didn't know how to install it on Mint. Turns out there's a Driver Manager that you can use. Thanks!
