Shouldn't the sound for when a task finishes be something like "Job done!"? Looking at the table it seems like it makes the sound for acknowledging that it's received an order (e.g. "I can do that").

Looking for your features but no voice chat, no screen sharing, no deal.
Looks like it has integration with Jitsi Meet https://zulip.com/integrations/jitsi
I remember the DOS (?) GTA demo that came on a PC Gaming magazine demo disk. I think it had a ten minute time limit?
Tons of fun on a friends dark green Acer Aspire.
Oh yes! I remember playing that at a friend's house when I was 5 years old and having my little mind blown. I couldn't believe you could just take any car and go anywhere you wanted.
I later got my hands on a copy of GTA2 and played that a lot, behind my parents' back of course

There is (was?) a bike shop in Pittsburgh, Kraynick's Bike Shop [1], where you could bring your bike and use their tools. It was nice, and I appreciate the DIY ethics and generosity.
I get the sense that there are a good number of these around the world. There's one I go to Melbourne sometimes, it's awesome.

It's still not quite there yet, for me. A lot of older games (which I'm a big fan of) won't run well or at all - and support for Nvidia is still not great.
If I could get within even 10% of the performance I get on Windows, and know I could safely choose to play some old 2000's game or something that just released just fine, I really wouldn't mind. But it feels like a roulette wheel and some important game I wanted to play just may not work, or may run terribly.
Which games?

I don't know how foobar2000 somehow got it so right so long ago and no one is replicating it making me stuck with it. I don't like the feeling of being stuck with software like this... What if it is abandonded or something...
You might be interested in Fooyin?

I have lots of music in exotic formats and an installation of foobar2000 that plays all of them. I keep using foobar2000 even though I switched to Fedora KDE because I don't see any alternative that will allow me to play music without forcing me to convert everything. Also, I have an Android app to control foobar2000 from my phone.
Big downsides are that scaling is broken on Wine so the UI is tiny. Moreover, whenever I manually change tracks using the mouse, it lets out a massive fart before continuing normally. But I can live with that.
Hmmm, now that I think of it - I've never made any GUI app. Suppose I want to write my own music player, what's the best way to approach this?
Fooyin looks to be inspired by foobar2000 that compiles natively on Linux, but I haven't tried it.

"Because of the release of GNOME 2.0 and 2.2, and the lack of interest in maintainership of GNOME 1.4, the gnome-core product is being closed. If you feel your bug is still of relevance to GNOME 2, please reopen it and refile it against a more appropriate component. Thanks... "
Xmms uses gtk 2 i think. GTK is now at version 4 or 5.
Apparently Audacious is a descendant of XMMS, though I haven't used either of them.

Anyone using the original iPhone SE or the second SE? I wonder how those are fairing on their final update(s).
I'm on my 8th year of using my original iPhone SE, have replaced the battery a few times and the screen a couple of times. It's still doing what I need it to do on iOS 15, but I noticed a few big names apps have stopped supporting iOS 15 in the past year so the installed versions are the last compatible versions (e.g. the installed versions of Uber and Netflix are > 6 months old).
Performance-wise, it can stutter a bit on modern websites and sometimes in some apps, but otherwise works reasonably well. A few weeks ago I noticed it was struggling more than usual and chewing up more battery, but then I cleared up some disk space and it's been running fine.
The minimum supported iOS version for some of my must-have apps (e.g. WhatsApp, my banking app) is currently iOS 15, so I imagine when that changes I'll need to finally upgrade my phone. Feels like its days are numbered.
