It was the Muse album Drones that I bought from the band’s website. I thiiiink I shared a link to the folder to my netbook with a different account to download to, and then I didn’t notice til later (maybe it was a week? A month?) the folder of just this muse album was empty.
Idr checking the trash can for my Google drive or anything. I don’t think I got a notice because I searched “copyright” in my emails circa 2015, and nothing related to removing my files popped up.

And it’s on sale for 10$ on steam rn, damn. It’s missing the multi-player tag, otherwise I would have had it on my wishlist for co-op 3rd person shooters sooner :<

I have a similar experience keeping this waking state of mind, but the breadth of my vocabulary takes a steeep dive after a few days of only getting a few hours sleep (each night). I pretty much lose some capacity to form coherent speech, and when it happens in front of people, I try to blow it off like I just need

I downloaded music I bought online and copied it to my Google drive once. This was years back, mid 2010s, this album just came out for my favorite artist back then. I’d downloaded it back to another pc and a week later - poof. No more mp3s. @.@

- Comment on how do i become a Scientologist? 4 weeks ago:
I honestly never knew what scientology was based on until my SO sent me this video. Their lore is so loony, you would mistake it for the cringiest of badly-written fantasy sci fi, even more embarrassing than the Book of Mormon.
And if you join, all you’d become is a ripe slave for their abuse. Yes, scientology is straight up bad.

- Comment on At the request of the Turkish government, X blocks access to student and opposition accounts amid nationwide protests. 2 months ago:
My take is that bluesky is owned by a corporation making a protocol (AT protocol) to Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.
See example, Microsoft trying to convert the internet to only run on its own browser. Or Google enticing websites to use AMP, only to entrap those sites to only use Google’s ad services.
When profit drives development, enshittification is not a matter of if, but when.
How is development of ActivityPub protocol funded? Volunteers and their grants, crowdfunding, and enthusiasm, as far as I can tell. @.@ Idk if it’s a reason objectively worth supporting FOSS for, but I love when people pool together for their community’s greater good.
Why make a bluesky account when you have all the different platforms that already run ActivityPub? Want a youtube replacement? Peertube!
For Reddit, Lemmy.
Instagram, Pixelfed.
Twitter, Mastodon.
Interact with all on the same account? Sure!But with bluesky? Nope.

I run synology, so I usually refer to this guy’s website first to compare projects mariushosting.com/docker/
Although, some guides he posts require an environment variables file, of which he requires a donation for before downloading. I just scour the internet for the original projects’ compose at that point.
