Here’s my Spotify list for 2024:

It’s blank because I don’t do subscription bullshit or ads. I probably bought about 10 CD albums this year though and they became MP3s in my Plex library.

Plex top tracks play count:

Soundgarden

Jimi Hendrix

John Frusciante

Red Hot Chili Peppers

Ratatat

Meat Puppets

Lettuce

Lotus

Wellwater Conspiracy

TAUK

SteamVR is great also, provides a native VR system that Epic doesn’t have

Nope, I have a lot better things to do than look at a tiny handheld screen.

Yep he would have been able to smell him outside the window watching too

Your first comment was right: no phone

You are correct, and that guy doesn’t know he’s deaf I guess. All pistols are loud enough to hurt your ears if your ears are normal. Even a .22LR pistol with a 6" target barrel is pretty loud to the naked ear.

You have a really optimistic view of how the police would respond there. I’d wager that they would be more likely to be mad at you for bothering them with that complaint than actually do anything about it. In my experience, helpful cops are rare.

So many movies show people getting into gun battles indoors, and they will jump behind a couch or flip over a coffee table and take shelter from a hail of bullets, like that thin furniture is going to stop anything.

Nextcloud has a Notes app too

Not if the app is coded properly to not include message content in the push notification. Signal uses google notifications only as a wakeup event to poll the (not google) server for the new message.

Google push notifications are available on GrapheneOS - just have to install Google Play Services. Their sandboxed version of google’s junk is nice because you can fully restrict permissions to it unlike stock Android.

It went from “don’t post pictures of yourself or your real name online because you might get strangers’ attention” to everyone trying to be their own version of a Max Headroom talking head to try to get the attention of all the strangers. Selfies, video selfies, talking head videos, reaction videos… all garbage.

Well I hope you use cash for all purchases and wear a mask that covers your face, otherwise everything you bought is recorded along with your identity in the store systems and potentially sold to 3rd parties like advertising companies, maybe to your health insurance company too.

I only prefer self checkout when I’m buying rubbers and lube. Anything else I’d rather have the checkout person scan and bag for me.

If you have social anxiety, the checkout person conversation is one of the easiest interactions for you to practice those skills on. “Hello, here are my items, thank you” is about the gist of what’s necessary.

I don’t want the law changed where I live, because these cameras are prohibited!

Several states in the USA prohibit speed cameras and traffic light cameras, because a citizen must be able to face their accuser when accused of a crime. This is a great example of freedom in the USA, where we do not let machines automatically issue fines against human beings.

You can also just leave the cap intact, and and just tie the end of the cord in a knot to keep the strings together. Just loop it around itself and poke the end through the loop and tighten it to make the knot sit near the end of the cord.

Sounds like a space about the size of Bubbles’s shed on Trailer Park Boys.

In the megalandlords shell company scenario, I’m sure that is hypothetically possible but it would at least make it more difficult for the mega corporations to buy so many single family homes. It would have to help improve the market. Shell companies could also be addressed in the legislation.

Pizza Hut buffet was a good deal for the price and quality, if you wanted to go have a lunch of real pizza.

Our local one is still here but they sold the big red roof building and moved into a strip mall. No inside dining, carry out only. I miss the drive-through though - used to be able to just order online or call and not have to get out of my car to get it. Now I have to park and walk inside and my precious convenience is reduced. But I still refuse to pay for Doordash type bullshit.
