Megaton CD, Compiz, bitview
ive done some relatively cool stuff recently. this'll probably go in order of importance, or whatever comes to me first:
i just got a CD copy of Megaton by Santos Inocentes. it was used, but the disc itself is factory-clean. its box has some chips, and i accidentally made a small cut on its cover-pamphlet. i was thinking of replacing my MP3 copy with the disc, but i dont want to do that. the two can coexist. i have no clue how high-quality the disc is, but it has absolutely no metadata whatsoever. it is just audio. my MP3s're decked out in embedded album cover, synced lyrics, year, assorted IDs such as publisher (Warner) and Cat.ID (85738499 2), etc. and i would have to reassign all of that. im ok as it is. the art is really cool, and i love the disc. i am listening to it right now! it's currently on about halfway thru track 6 (Santos Inocentes, which is a track named after the band), and i havent heard any stutters or skips at all (except for that the tracks' intros are cut off, which hopefully is just an artifact of VLC as a CD player, not the disc itself... it totally ruins the track transitions). the other disc i got, WLFGRL+, should be coming this next week. probably on thursday. im wondering what to do with my amateur self-made iTunes CD, now...
i got Compiz on Solus Serifa. it uses up my battery like a starving canine, but it looks really cool. i got XFCE to run it on, since KDE is too resource-heavy and all my other desktops are Wayland-exclusive (Compiz is for X11). XFCE is really lightweight, only a little heavier than Sway. Compiz isn't so heavy to the point of lag, like KDE is, but it definitely drains the battery. it has a lot of awesome effects that totally counteract this, though.
bitview shut down! it happened randomly! and i got an email that said there were no backups. so all my videos there are gone. i dont want to sign up for youtube, but i dunno where i'll go when i decide i want another youtube-like channel... maybe kamtape?
