European online radio stations that play old school hip-hop, and play mostly the church/clean versions for no reason. You're ruining it! I can't rap along dammit!

Apparently Sweden don't want people to work part-time jobs. Apparently there's some rule somewhere that makes it beneficial for companies to demand that part-time workers already have either another job at 50% or more, or are studying at 100%. If you don't you're not even eligible to apply. Even if the job you want to apply for is like 60%.

As a response to the US hostility we can create a FOSS-Aligned Framework for Organizations that EU governments must follow. Or FAFO for short.

Is this when the EU realizes that relying on proprietary US tech is not a good thing? Could this be the time when we finally realize that we should use open and free standards, operating systems and software for our governments etc? One can dream...

I sense a near future where the US will strong arm the EU into not fining US tech companies for violating EU laws. Since they are now cozying up with Trump and seem to be planning to protect US companies from foreign governments. So I wonder then, when will the EU outright ban the companies in question? Meta and X are complete no-brainers, just ban them. Bigger giants like Google, Microsoft, Amazon and Apple are a bit harder to deal with.

I heard somewhere that at least Benny (and maybe Bjรถrn) thinks that ABBA's venture into disco was a mistake. That saddens me a bit because to me, funky disco ABBA is by far the best #ABBA.

The plural of moose should be mice.

Change my mind.

Or don't, because you can't.

All contemporary apps should have an alternative text or terminal based interface (TUI). Imagine how distraction free and bloat free your life would be if you could choose to stay in such environment all day.

Email, chat, web pages, music players, shit you could even do ASCII art encoding of images and videos if you want. Lift text from images with "AI" and print out. Etc. Bring back the TUI!

I wish the music software industry would skip the whole sound pack thing and instead help teaching people how to create their own sounds and melodies.

What I don't understand, nor like, about social media is the standard concept that when you like something you share it with the world. If I like something I press like/fav/whatever and I would prefer if it wasn't public info because it's communication between me and the poster - it's nobody else's business what I like. The share button is for showing it to the public.

Just had a little nostalgia trip. I don't speak #French but I always loved this album (and the translated lyrics I've read are great). #France always had a distinct and awesome sound when it came to hiphop back then.

IAM's album L'ร‰cole du micro d'argent.

The icon set is called Arcticons btw for anyone interested. An open source icon set available in the Play store.

Why Google keeps insisting on your phone being an absolute clown circus of colors when you can have your #Android phone looking something like this I will never understand. This right here looks SO much better than stock Android. Like a cohesive #UI with a purpose. It's a joy to use and look at. Except for the very few icons that doesn't match... Hopefully they'll get fixed sometime.

As #Android is becoming more and more locked down, trying to become #iOS, I see fewer and fewer reasons to use it. #Tasker (the best ever case for Android) getting nerfed over the years, #SyncThing canceling their official Android app due to Google's shenanigans regarding Play rules etc. Why use "spying af iOS" when I can use the original "a bit less spying iOS"? Please for the sake of humanity, can proper #Linux mobile become a viable thing already?

Words cannot express how mad and frustrated I am with modern flat UI design where signifiers are missing and you have to fucking GUESS what you can do with elements and just try to randomly press and swipe on things just to see if something happens. What. The. Actual. Fuck. Is wrong with UI designers these days? Have they not read Donald Norman?

I will never look at the United States the same ever again. Your country is broken, your system is beyond broken and your population eats shit. I'm so sorry for all decent and good people living there. I'm also sorry for everyone else on earth. USA, kindly fix your shit or fuck off this planet.
