  • It’s even easier on Linux, unpack each winamp skin you want into its own folder in usr/share/audacious/Skins, start audacious, select winamp classic mode, then choose the skin in the general tab of the appearance setting.

    If your user doesn’t have right permission to the Skins folder, don’t forget you can always use sudo, even though it might be better practice to add your user to a group that has right permissions for that directory. I’m a bad Linux user and run my file manager with sudo way too often.


  • First, download from here https://skins.webamp.org/

    An article I found through search says the following:

    • Windows version needs some massaging to use them. Download the skin, then rename the file so the extension is .ZIP instead of .WSZ. Unzip the file and drag the folder to C:UsersUSERNAMEAppDataLocalaudaciousSkins, replacing “USERNAME” with your Windows username. The skin will show up in the Audacious settings, though you may need to restart the application first.

    Good luck.






  • The issue being that one is unlikely to gain the experience necessary to fully leverage the power of the tool, if it’s the primary way to code, because it does too much, to readily…

    How many CNC guys have the intuition of an of old school master machinist? Some do, most don’t. Plus, one of those masters can viably run many machines, with an unskilled observer monitoring to catch catastrophic fails. Fewer good jobs because of that. When automaton takes the learning out of the curve, very few people will put in the extra effort to grow beyond what’s needed for minimum viability, with all the knock on consequences that brings.

    LLM coding may not kill programming as we know it right now, but I think it’s just a matter of time, just like with US machining/manufacture. Once the learning track to mastery becomes unrewarded, very few will walk it.







  • I have a home-modified air popper that I use to roast coffee and I don’t get first crack if I put too much coffee in, turns out that the limit of my machine is about a quarter pound at a time, otherwise, I don’t get enough agitation for a fast, even roast. Maybe try reducing the amount of coffee you’re roasting?

    Another thing that can cause an issue for me is too long of an extension cord. I’m right about at what the limit of my machine can handle and the slight drop in current caused by the long cord is enough to lower the air temperature about 20 degrees.




  • Water that’s boiling is 100 degrees C, as long as you’re reasonably close to sea level. Boiling it longer doesn’t make it hotter. If you want super critical water, you need to microwave it in a very smooth container. Please be warned that this is incredibly dangerous as s.c. water can cause horrific burns as it will boil and overflow when you try to pour it. It also doesn’t make good coffee, it over extracts.
