I remember when I used to be able to find dedicated message boards for bands that I liked. Now I’m lucky if there’s a subreddit where it’s just a bunch of people submitting poorly drawn fan art of the band.

There was a time in my life when I was wary of wearing out certain songs, but now I just play them to death if that’s what I’m in the mood for. Life’s too short to deny yourself the pleasure of hearing a song that you really want to listen to…and if you DO get tired of your current earworm, so much? There’s so much great music out there that it shouldn’t be long before you discover something new that you can immerse yourself in.
Another day, another moment of being thankful for my dedicated .mp3 player.
This won’t affect me - seeing as I have no use for Instagram - but I do worry that some actual DECENT sites will adopt this in the near future.
The full article is well worth reading. It’s good to find a lucid, logical deconstruction of why, precisely, this will be a complete disaster.
Black olives are the shit. Green olives are shit.

Further justifying my commitment to avoiding Prime at all costs.
Long live Garry Chess.
I’ll keep using Windows as long as programs like Open Shell and OSSU are able to deal with the bullshit. But if there comes a day when they no longer work…well, Linux awaits.
Dude’s living his best life.
Don’t blame it on COVID. Blame it on people being massive idiots.
Good. Fuck Twitter.
Privacy isn’t dead, but it will be soon because those of us who seriously care about it are the 0.001%.
It’s because the first time doesn’t always work. I swear, sometimes it doesn’t!
This is basically “dog bites man” territory at this point.
The “Blocked since install” stat on uBlockOrigin is always an eye-opener.
A lot of it is familiarity. I begged my parents to cancel Netflix, especially since they complain about the programming (or lack thereof); I pointed out that they could try another streaming service for a month, and then if they really hated it, then they could just go back to Netflix. But they wouldn’t even entertain the possibility. They’re afraid of change.
And Netflix is making bank on that.
Absolutely horrifying, but not surprising. This kind of shit is exactly what we were worried about when facial recognition tech started to take off.
Edit: Thank you, kind stranger!
