  I scrobble with Last.FM for music discovery.

  I don’t really use social features and not sure if they’re popular in homelab land. Some people I know share a Plex server.

  I’m not a purist about these things tbh, I have an Xbox live subscription, among others, to use social features for pretty much the same reason you’re using Spotify. I might have stuck with them if I was using them more.

  I cried because my dad was a chair and this just really touched me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:
  • Diablo II
  • Chrono Trigger
  • Halo 3

  I don’t get to play games much nowadays but I was a rank 50 lone wolf back in the day. Good times.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify to raise prices in September⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair, I should clarify: the few hours is for the music parts only. The homelab set up could easily stretch to months … And I’d still recommend doing it to most, it’s great fun setting it up!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify to raise prices in September⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Ditched Spotify and bought myself a galleon and a tricorner hat instead. Haven’t looked back.

  Lidarr + Navidrome + Feishin + Metube

  Mullvad for acquiring, TailScale and Symfonium for listening while away from home

  This sounds like a lot of setup but probably took a few hours in total to set up the various docker images and get them working together.

  I spend my saved money on vinyls, official merch, and SoundCloud or BandCamp purchases for my local library.

  You clearly didn’t use the small loan from your father very effectively. For shame.

  I keep mine in a bin. Not the bin. But a bin.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨High quality sticker though⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I made the mistake of buying a Sonic the Hedgehog sticker pack off Amazon for my kids. Honestly it could have been worse, given how hard Sonic “fan art” goes.

  Oh wow, I had literally the same experience, Sonic stickers too. Thankfully I had a quick look through before I threw them in with the Mario and Pixar stickers, and noticed Amy had some “interesting poses” … And it kind of got worse from there.

  It was my first head-shaking “wtf is wrong with people” moment as a father so I guess there’s that.

  The use of the term “Dark traffic” here is to paint the use of ad-blockers as something nefarious. Don’t use it, fuck these people right in their stupid mouths.

  I propose using the terms “clean traffic”, for ad-blocked website traffic, and “dogshit traffic” for everything else.

  Very careful wording there to switch between Persona and Reddit to conveniently omit one from the justification given by the other.

  I think the most interesting thing is that you don’t see any rage bait in that screenshot. It seems the grift is working as intended to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube's Latest Update Shows That Online Monoculture Is Dead⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  keep showing viewers the videos that we think they’ll love

  We’ll keep profiling you and target you with videos that drive engagement, so largely things that inspire rage or conflict between you and others. Extra points if we drive your political and social views further to the right.

  It’s often not the speaker doing the editing, there are thousands of channels built around creating and releasing these cast-a-wide-net shorts to subtly drive you towards their goal of obsessively watching right wing vtubers saying things that compel you to be a selfish narcissist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thank you, Thor!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, for real. YouTube is essentially placing infinite bets that it can drive you into the rabbit hole. Watched a short of Dillahunty give Peterson a verbal wedgy? You must like big words, so here’s more Peterson! Watched a short of Joey Swoll telling people to be polite, because it rolled on automatically? Here’s an Andrew Tate wannabe with shrivelled nuts to subtly criticise you about your dad bod.

  Obsession and radicalisation are one and the same to the algorithm, and both turn a targeted individual into a money printer. And fuck the consequences right? Because Google got theirs.
