If you’re using Android, check out xmanager. It’s basically a free cracked version of Spotify Premium.

A mini PC is the way to go if you want to self host a media server such as Jellyfin. You have to do a little research, but you can find mini PCs with Intel chips that have Quick Sync for transcoding for around $100 on Amazon.

Holy shit, I laughed but felt guilty after.

Their spyware probably doesn’t work on Linux.

I got into birding this spring as a hobby, thinking to myself “it’s free, you just need to use your eyes and ears”, withing a month I bought a $350 pair of binoculars. I’ve managed to fight off the temptation of a decent camera so far, thankfully. I found a great park at the tail end of spring migration about 10 minutes from my apartment, and the dawn chorus was almost sensory overload, the was so many different species singing and calling. I’m looking forward to what new birds I’ll see during this fall migration and especially next spring migration.

It’s pretty great, there’s also Cornell’s companion citizen science app called eBird that you can use to count birds around you which is useful to ornithologists to track bird population density and migration patterns!

Did you ever use Launch (predecessor to Yahoo Music) in the early 2000’s? It was pretty decent.

I waited months for Google to release a firmware patch to unlock Bluetooth. Eventually, I got tired of 4 mostly bricked (could still use them wired) controllers laying around and tossed 3 of them. I wish I would have kept them all now, Stadia controllers are some of the best, I may have to pick up another one online.

You rockin’ Hannah Montana Linux?

You done goofed.

Was gonna say, wayyy ahead of you OP. I just paid one off, I should probably max it out again just in case.

Gotta build up the stamina for longer sexercise sessions.

This should be a prime reason to exercise.

Thanks for these updates on the timelines of the investigations, it’s hard to keep track.

I finally watched Wolf of Wallstreet last week, fucking wild.

Have you tried Andor yet? It’s probably the best series (don’t hate me Grogu fans).

Sorry about your MIL, genuinely kind people are few and far between in this world.

I’m hoping suicide booths are a thing by the time I retire, something like in Futurama. I’ll just blow all my savings on a yearlong worldwide cruise or something and then call it a life. The other option is moving to a 2nd world country with universal healthcare to make it stretch, the first option sounds more fun though to be honest.
