Added the exa aliases. Nice to see pacman points exa to eza as the former is unmaintained.

Listenbrainz has decent recommendations

no indeed, I don’t think it’s that specific. I mainly browse the weekly exploration playlist, based on my listens, which either recommends other of my favorite songs that I hadn’t listened yet, or unknown songs that usually fit my styles. Enough for me to cut the subscriptions 🥳

I second this, very nice indeed!

I also use their Picard software to check the downloaded album, then it updates the metadata automatically and places them in the appropriate folder structure.

It’s a very intersting viewpoint, pardon me for exploring further. So future you (or me) is also dead until the brief flash of life where yours and his consciousness finally overlap, before lapsing into nothingness again.

It’s very reasonable even, to think everything not experienced this very moment is totally alien to us.

Thanks for stretching my grey matter on this dull day!

By that rationale, wouldn’t other people then also be dead, as you cannot experience their consciousness?

The future might seem far off, but it starts right now.

At least it’s sandboxed now ;)

The stores I have on my GrapheneOS pixel 7a: F-Droid + droidify, Aurora store, and the Google Play store as well for some official apps I cannot do without. Between these, there isn’t an app that I couldn’t find or install.

I bought my pixel second hand, to not put more money in Google’s pocket, and to avoid any carrier locking. Not sure how that will impact the installation, but it might. Best to investigate that matter.

I have to mention: I still cannot believe how easy that installation was. I rooted my previous phone and put lineageOS on it, which was such a tedious procedure back in the day, I really dreaded installing GrapheneOS. But that web interface, detecting everything and guiding me along was pure heaven. I hope that’ll become the default for any custom installs.

Ex-banker president targets banks… Now that’d be quite an unexpecred headline! Shame it’ll never be.

Do give Russell’s History of Western Philosophy a try. It places those books into a much needed context. When I first picked up that book, it was out of a hope to learn more about philosophy, but after finishing it, I only had those three books on my ‘definitely must read’ list. I know there’s a companion book to Das Kapital written by David Harvey, but he’s not the easiest to read either. And Marx, omfg, that mofo has a way of dancing around things for pages on end through the most labyrinthine sentences, so I can definitely commiserate! It took me months to get through the whole thing. Luckily I was in the middle of a move, without TV or computer, so that helped a lot :)

Plato’s Republic.

I got really interested by its description in Bertrand Russell’s History of Western Philosophy. After reading the book, I realized how arbitrary the setup of current society is. Then I followed it up with More’s Utopia and Marx’ Das Kapital. A true Big Bang for my political views.

That’s amazing to watch! Most of the speedrunners don’t even defeat the enemies 😮

After 30 years, the eating doors still get me constantly… I don’t think I’ve ever reached the end of this game. Is 1 hour even possible at all?
