If I’m drunk and try to say “Dutch” i’ll probably say German.

If extortion is the honest way to do something, a bigger step back is needed.

Think they can ban the “pay, or let us track you” tactic I’ve been seeing pooping up too? That’s fucking extortion.

I’m using Proton Unlimited.

I’m enjoying it. I like it’s sync feature, so now my history and playlists etc are shared across my 3 main devices. No issues so far but still relatively new to it. I find it’s more reliable across vpns than newpipe or freetube.

It’s ok. I’m being protected by my government. I just have to fork over my ID and picture to Spotify to listen to a song with a swear word in it. 🛡️✨

You joke but if you think the aim isn’t bigger… I wouldn’t be surprised if astroturfed discourse around decentralised platforms being unsafe because they can’t be “moderated” surfaces in the next few years (months?). Mastodon have already had to explain why they literally cannot add age verification in the UK. They’ll just ban the whole concept if they can’t get the control. The free web is being reigned in.

I don’t use DAWs but i just recorded with a guy using Reaper. He had nothing but glorious things to say. You can run it from a usb stick of your using someone else’s studio. At one point he needed it to do something specific and just got in touch with the guy and asked and he sorted it. Apparently it’s the guy who made WinAmp.

Luxury. I had to get up in the morning at ten o’clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah.

I had noisey neighbours so now i need white noise to not react to every single noise “that might the neighbours coming in for a party at 3am”. I don’t have anything fancy but i got Bluetooth earphones (just some random Amazon ones) that are connected physically so it’s easy to switch between “free” ears. I don’t even remember switching in my sleep now.

Bald guy checking in. Started receding at 18 but held onto it till i was 33. Been wet-shaving it a year now. The weight of anxiety that was lifted when i shaved it and liked it was enormous. I have way more confidence. I look and feel better bald than balding. I own it now. You look like you’ve got plenty time left but id check out baldcafe on YouTube. Sort by popular and watch the before and afters. Might give you the push to try out the dreaded clippers.

Cooncil juice.

I’m still new to FOSS/Fediverse etcetc, but seeing someone just explain ToS like a human is so fucking refreshing.

Ah, Vertical Integortion.

Is this a new advice-dog-era style meme? I like it.
