Good time to get away from #Spotify and get better quality music, and higher compensation for artists

Flip the script.

Any state that joins Canada gets access to Coffee Crisp, Butter Tarts, and All Dressed Chips.

I'm watching my country of origin descend into a trade war and it's just a baffling experience.

Excellent quick commentary on the cesspit that is Audible, and why I refuse to buy on Audible anymore, and why I am so frustrated at authors I admire that still publish Audible exclusives.

I should get some more Brandon Sanderson.

What kind of sociopath discards of pressurized containers like this? They should go I regular trash at all, but then loosely piled in front of the bin?

That's hilarious. I was wondering why my 2024 photos refused to import to my PixelFed account. I found this thread, and I looked at the commit, and someone had literally hardcoded 23 as an upper boundary in a validation check (IE refuse any photo whose year is >23)

@scalzi Making your audio books Audible exclusive just feels like a weird disconnect with your otherwise progressive ideals. Selling it from a monopolistic arm of an ethically bankrupt billionaire when there are community supporting independent resellers like Libro wanting to list your book.... I just don't get it.

FFS Apple.

We have ferries. Add ferries to my route. This is the one thing Google maps is still winning over you.

Ok.. let's talk Brandon Sanderson.

My reactions to his work is so far

That's it, I have not read any of the rest. Would I like the Stormlight Archive? I keep hearing about it. Among a certain social circle, it's being discussed almost as commonly as LOTR. I feel I am missing out on something.

In terms of "replacing Instagam", it's obvious to discuss @pixelfed. But it's is just a federated site, like any Mastodon instance (you can post to Pixelfed using any Mastodon client).

So in terms of the idea of "share my pictures", I feel I can do that as well on Mastodon, as on Pixelfed, no? I mean, I guess the difference is that Pixelfed is more styled to photo browsing, more gallery focused. Also I have Mastodon deleting old posts, but I could keep Pixelfed without auto-deleting.

Listen, I'm not just saying this because I am enjoying the latest season of Jet Lag, but a vacation which consists of nothing more than an all-rail pass around Japan and walks in local villages would be time absolutely well spent.

No #Todoist, you can't. What earthly reason do you have for needing this?

@anybox At your link it doesn't actually mention Orion (maybe you just need to update your home page), but also I read over the home page for the app, and I still have no clue what you actually do. LIke, I don't know what I'm looking at.

I know everyone talks about Ted Lasso, but I seriously think #Shrinking is one of the best things #AppleTV has done, and among the best tv shows I have seen.
