This is the best answer! Thank you for sharing your methods. I was going to reply about the daily editorial, but yours is more complete.
I would also like to add that I type the name of things I like and often find them on bandcamp. Including big artists.
Peter Gabriel, Evanescence, Run the Jewels, Flight of Conchords, Ghost…
What I don’t find there, I get from a thrift store (easy to find famous artists there) or quobuz.

They do already, and most of the comments on the noise are “please share promp”.

They gave us a scare over the years, being sold around to companies that are famous for enshittifying platforms.
Epic sold the company when people unionized, and the next did a trick to not recognized the union and “hire” half of the staff (contrary to fire half of them).
The platform is not what has been 5 years ago, but it is still my favourite place to get music around.

plugged that into ghci as 5+2*(8-5), and it says 17.
You might want to report that error. Or, did you mean 2+5*(8-5)?
- Comment on Is Kagy web browser worth it? 2 months ago:
The author surely likes that the mascot is a dog. It feels more of a read and analysis of the terms of use than a deep dive of the tool but it was a good read.
I also liked the “reminder”.
- Comment on How do I decrease acne after shaving my face? 8 months ago:
- Wash your face or any area you want to shave with gentle soap.
- Use a gentle shaving cream, no scent, no alcohol. If possible, spread it with a shaving brush gently.
- Shave in the direction of the hair, e.g. your moustache you probably go from nose to lips.
a. Change your blades often, with a safety razor you most likely want a new blade after each shave. Blades get dull, pull the hair and clog the pores, they will accumulate bacteria overtime, causing infections, disposing them after each shave will reduce the chances of those happening.
b. Try to get good at passing the blade only once, avoid repeating on the same spots multiple times. If struggling, you might want to consider one of those razors that adjust to your face as you move, or an electric trimmer - avoid the ones that pull the hair before cutting. - Wash your face again, if possible, use a soap with ceramides and niacinamide (they will help with your skin recovery).
- Tap your face gently with a clean towel, do not rub it, don’t go hard. Leave some moisture.
- Use moisturizer (ceramides and niacinamide is a plus)
- SPF
A lot of the things that happen to your skin can be caused by bacteria, clogged pores by dead skin, dirty, hair, fabric… Those steps will help you minimize the chances and help your skin recover faster after shaving.
If possible, you should visit a dermatologist for a deeper understanding of your skin, and the care you need.
Also, on a special occasion, treat yourself to one of those old school barbers, with hot/cold towels and all the pampers.
- Comment on Unpowered SSD endurance investigation finds severe data loss and performance issues 8 months ago:
Depends on the threat model and how long do you need the data.
Worked on a place long ago, that anything they needed to save offline from more than a few decades where stored in microfilm, the expectancy there where they would last 80 to 100 years.
Anything else was pretty much tape.
You also take in account the technology avaiability. The more complex is to use, harder will it be to reproduce in the future. Even with tapes, you might want to copy the data to another tape/recorder every decade or two, to keep it on par with the technology.
- Comment on Early Access wasn't enough for Alterium Shift so it's now on Kickstarter 11 months ago:
Not sure if it is a scam, like people are claiming (on the post, and steam reviews). I feel like it is more like a lack of experience and knowledge in the game business than any intentional wrongdoing.
There are definitely problems with the game, and the pace of updates and fixes has been lacking since it first appeared on Steam.
After watching the dev Stream in 2023, it seems like he loves what he is doing and probably will see this through, but he really struggles with basic concepts of game making - that might have changed since then.
During a programming session, he was asking everything to an AI chatbot and copying the result into the code, then suffering for a while back and fort with the bot because the code did not work as he intended, while the chat was sending the documentation page of the engine and other help that would have solved his issues.
