• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Quitting Spotify for Navidrome⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Neat! As someone who never had that much luck with Spotify’s recommendations, this is part of what worked for me.

  When I want a specific mood or even artist for music I own, I use navidrome.

  To expand that collection I use bandcamp (and bandcamp Fridays).

  To discover new stuff, I rely on recommendations from friends or go wide with sources like NTS radio or similar.

  Can you elaborate on why without getting us all stung to death?

  Neat! I was looking for one of these things for health monitoring, but there’s so many that I have no idea where to even start.

  I wish I had one like you at where I work, just to keep sane for a bit longer. Everyone else is just way too into this shit even though for most it seems like a gigantic time sink.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why is it muted?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dunkin' Donuts Drinks⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I always thought this was mainly a US thing (the super sugary coffee drinks,in gallon size), until I talked to some Italian friends that drink cappuccino with more sugar than milk. And they describe it as being something that their parents did as well.

  And we should probably consider the very wealth as an aristocracy of sorts for that to be effective.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to the Labour police state⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Arguably not in the recent past, but let us not forget that the suffragettes were very committed protesters. They did more than just organize symbolic protests though. They also carried out bombings and arson campaigns and one of them ended up cutting Winston Churchill’s face with a dogwhip.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Large majority of French, German and Spanish public back tough EU stance on Big Tech, despite risk to Trump relations⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Weighing the cost to the relationship to a fascist state must be the dumbest math possible.

  Is Gartner one of those sources that causes avalanches in the VC / tech world? Because it would be lovely to see this popping asap

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Temu and Shein to hike prices⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And still not enough to curb the amount of trash being produced, shipped around the world and then trashed locally when it doesn’t match the expectations of the buyer / rips after putting it on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Controversial question⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And you would probably get high on ketamine from consuming it as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DIY Bicycle generator made out of a treadmill⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Neat! The smoothie bike link in that post is also cool and it would match with my workout. Prep ingredients, pedal, drink!

  Another year of this shit? I don’t think we can take it, honestly
