    1. Recommend me a digital clock?

      I have been having a lot of trouble finding a digital clock. I don't even know where to ask for recs, I tried a couple subreddits but there is no /r/digitalclocks so I'm trying a more general place here and maybe someone can help?

      My requirements (I'm in the USA so that's where the time finding needs to happen):

      1. It autosets the time based on the radio signal
      2. It automatically detects DST
      3. Backup battery so if I get a power failure it doesn't lose the time
      4. The time is the only thing on the display. (Although, this seems to be the hardest one to find, so, if it also shows the temperature or something, that's ok, as long as the time is a lot bigger than anything else)
      5. Not willing to spend more than $50 on a clock
      6. Needs to be LED not LCD, i.e. I want to be able to see the time in a dark room without pressing a light-up button or anything

      Additional bonuses:

      1. If it has a rainbow display
      2. If it has a USB charging port
      3. Big numbers, like at least 1.5" tall

      I don't care about the alarm or any overhead projection features.

      If you have a digital clock that you love that meets these requirements (or at least mostly does) I would like to hear about it!! Thanks!!

    2. I think I'm moving to Austin, TX

      To be clear, I'm a native Texan. But I'm tired of the goings-on of the county that I've always lived in. I feel like I've already done everything there is to do. I want to meet people that feel genuinely 'new' to me and have as many novel experiences as I can in a short period of time.
      I'm planning on moving during January since that's when my lease is up at my apartment. What things should I expect? What should I seek?

    5. Do you just leave apps open in Gnome?

      I use keepassxc as my password manager and it sits in the system tray quietly until it is requisited by a login form in firefox.

      Gnome does not have a system tray, so you just open keepassxc on startup and it just stays there floating in the background?

      It's been months since I last used Gnome. Did anything change or it's still like this?

      I was impressed with our community’s response to this same question for the PlayStation.

      I’m thinking of focusing my gaming habits on the Dreamcast for the month of September by emulating some old classics and hidden gems. I’d love to hear this community’s recommendations for the greatest underdog console of all time.

      Let me know what games for Dreamcast you think are still worth playing today, especially less well-known ones, and why!

      Homebrew and fan translations are also eagerly welcome!

      UPDATE: the surgery went well amd she is recovering now


      I talked in the past about my mother here.

      She's been diagnosed with abdominal aortic aneurysm and keeping an eye on it.

      Now it's time for surgery because it's big and in danger of rupture.

      She's already in the hospital and will operate today or tomorrow.

      She is still frail and eating less since my brother's death. Weight is only 44k/97lbs. She is 74 years old.

      I keep reading that the endovascular surgery is not that dangerous. Just a minor cut in the groin, but I'm really afraid due to her weakness. Doctor assured is OK and he is the best in town. Last year he did 25 of these and this year 15.

      Guess I'm just venting and afraid. Lost a brother a year and half ago and now it's my mother.

      Feels like I'm just living between tragedies.

    8. Unable to feel progress, lack of happiness and not finding motivation to keep investing

      Hey Tildes,

      Recently I picked up WoW again and I've felt a rush and focus I haven't felt for a while. I can play the game for an entire day. I feel nothing but guilt doing so. The one thing that gives me joy feels like something I'm not allowed to do at this stage of my life; I'm 35.

      I'm in grouptherapy until march next year but I feel I'm not making any sensible progress. Others around me seem to open and loosen up, finding tangible changes that help their lives. Meanwhile I just keep resenting myself, dread doing anything that might even cost effort.

      I feel I'm a fraud, a selfless good-for-nothing profiteer who blames anything but me. It fuels my self-hatred and my wish to self-isolate and act in self-destructive behavior. I also notice a growing bitterness as I get older.
