I scrobble with Last.FM for music discovery.

I don’t really use social features and not sure if they’re popular in homelab land. Some people I know share a Plex server.

I’m not a purist about these things tbh, I have an Xbox live subscription, among others, to use social features for pretty much the same reason you’re using Spotify. I might have stuck with them if I was using them more.

Fair, I should clarify: the few hours is for the music parts only. The homelab set up could easily stretch to months … And I’d still recommend doing it to most, it’s great fun setting it up!

Ditched Spotify and bought myself a galleon and a tricorner hat instead. Haven’t looked back.

Lidarr + Navidrome + Feishin + Metube

Mullvad for acquiring, TailScale and Symfonium for listening while away from home

This sounds like a lot of setup but probably took a few hours in total to set up the various docker images and get them working together.

I spend my saved money on vinyls, official merch, and SoundCloud or BandCamp purchases for my local library.

"For England, James?”

Ok technically he doesn’t say it but I definitely hear it in my head

It’s like the national debt but for little people.

And the possibility that it maybe, just maybe, could happen on a national scale

Please stop. I can only get so hard.

Microsoft mouthpiece parrots Microsoft talking point. News at eight.

This is the reality. You’ll spend most of your time working with people of varying SCM skill levels, and spread all the way across the spectrum. Squash commits combined with centralised auditing (GHE, GitLab, etc) add the necessary rail to keep a clean history on main and to make building-block change sets easily revert-able.

In my decades working on large teams of engineers, the need to identify changes by wip/interim commits has never been terribly useful for the reason you describe: everyone has different git hygiene procedures and most corps don’t give a tiny little shit about maintaining that level of hygiene unless you’re white room / highly regulated.

And if you do want that level of depth you can go find the PR/MR in the central source where the revision history of the dead branch is often sustained (unless you configure it not to)

But yeah, I call YAGNI a lot on git history purists to this day. It’s a huge amount of effort and coordination to retain a tiny amount of value that is 50/50 gonna be useful depending on the git hygiene of the person who wrote it. Save your efforts and just read the damn code.

Swiss? This stories full of holes …

Release the files!

Neither does the woman who defined the term and wrote a whole book about it.

Ruinous Empathy is an interesting concept, but unfortunately much like toxic empathy (but without the obvious malintent from the start), it’s mostly used by psychopaths in positions of power to justify their antisocial behaviours in environments that generally forbid it.

The use of the term “Dark traffic” here is to paint the use of ad-blockers as something nefarious. Don’t use it, fuck these people right in their stupid mouths.

I propose using the terms “clean traffic”, for ad-blocked website traffic, and “dogshit traffic” for everything else.

It’s called The Ursula

Can it run Doom?

Anything that is low humidity. Sadly where I live is 50%+ most of the year

Very careful wording there to switch between Persona and Reddit to conveniently omit one from the justification given by the other.

Mentally he’s associating this with the holistic bullshit he uses to justify drinking raw milk and rejecting vaccines.

Let’s hope he doesn’t find out about the many mental health studies that validate psychedelics as a treatment option, or he might change his mind

I think the most interesting thing is that you don’t see any rage bait in that screenshot. It seems the grift is working as intended to me.

Edit: case, meet point

keep showing viewers the videos that we think they’ll love

We’ll keep profiling you and target you with videos that drive engagement, so largely things that inspire rage or conflict between you and others. Extra points if we drive your political and social views further to the right.

People mention his bluntness, even rudeness; his propensity for swearing; his intolerance of fools and stupid questions, and blistering responses thereto; his fondness for good beer, apparently in large amounts, and his consequent antipathy for early mornings; his passion for the things he cared about, which often could spill over into anger… and his subsequent regret and apologies. I’ve done much the same, and had similar written about me.

And he was from Lancaster!? Next you’ll tell me there’s water at the bottom of the ocean …
