- Comment on "Star Trek is dying." How would you sell it to a younger audience? 3 weeks ago:
section 31 was pretty cringe. There were some pretty cool concepts and ideas but, overall not executed well at all. It seems section 31 is made up of a bunch of dumbass rejects? Georgiou character was way over hammed compared to how she was in Discovery. Driving the movie like it was a video game was an interesting idea that could have been done better. The couple twists with the whole “whos the traitor?” was interesting if not rushed, seemed like an afterthought.
its one of those movies you watch once.

no such luck for me there. the music is in /artist/album directories. I had considered flattening it all out to see if that makes a difference.

“commercial display” is a worth while route to explore. They do cover a wider range of image quality and features, so it does take paying close attention to specifications.

- Comment on Spotify paid users hit 236M, but losing money, amid Apple battle 1 year ago:
YoutubeDL or spotdl for actually acquiring music. you tube for some discovery, but really have not found a good one for discovery. Spotify was good for that, but getting locked out of my account on a weekly basis(even free tier) is a hard NO for me. Spotify is a bait and switch scam now; they advertise/tout you can use your account on multiple devices, but that is definitely not true.
- Comment on Spotify paid users hit 236M, but losing money, amid Apple battle 1 year ago:
I got caught in a crazy loop of Spotify resetting my password once a week. They offered no help except telling me my 40 char generated password was “not secure enough”. So, I cancelled and deleted the account.
Back to the high seas I guess.
