Thank you, I really appreciate that

This entire month sucks. Hopefully, though, things will get better!

How to Disappear Completely is so good

I don’t have any musicians that consistently make me feel that way, so have a list of songs instead:

• The Price of a Mile (Sabaton)
• Doomed (I Prevail)
• Let Me Be Sad (I Prevail)
• Soon You’ll Get Better (Taylor Swift ft. The Chicks)
• Wildest Dreams (Taylor Swift)
• Tess-Timony (Ice Nine Kills)
• When the Party’s Over (Billie Eilish)

How the hell do you even think “it’s fine, I’ll put this password in plain text” when literally building an app for a CREDIT UNION? Obviously it’s not acceptable to do that anywhere, but you would think they would think just a little bit harder about the decision when working with such sensitive data?

Anker is always good!

Really good, solid cables of varying varieties (preferably braided). I’ve had many cables for years and never had to replace them (or if I did, it was wayyy after their due date lol). HDMI and Micro USB were the big ones for me

As others mentioned, Stremio + Torrentio is amazing. Just make sure you use, preferably, RealDebrid with it. If you can’t use RD, you can use a VPN, but it will cost you some playback speed.

PopcornTime as others have mentioned is amazing, but sadly I haven’t heard much about it lately. Honestly, Stremio + Torrentio is way better though in my opinion. It’s easy to set up and has a ton of shows.

In Atlanta it’s like a -55% chance it works

I’ve been learning Norwegian Bokmål and it’s pretty interesting seeing all the words that it and English have in common (as well as their differences).

Also, Toki Pona as others have mentioned. Might seem like a joke language at first, but the community is really vibrant and kind. You can make some real, meaningful connections through it. Plus, it takes maybe a weekend to get good at Toki Pona.

I’ve been using searxng.site. It’s a deployed SearXNG instance. So far, it works good enough for my use cases. Unless I’m looking up something VERY niche, I get quick results (the images tab is a little slow, but not even close to unbearable).

I would have rolled with Ecosia, but as you can see from my previous post on my profile, I was frustrated that there was no option to filter by “past year”.

I don’t think this would ever be achievable. It also sounds like a broader form of technocracy (to my very much unqualified brain)

Even in that article it says the only info they can provide (due to the no-logging) is payment info and email address.

If you’re doing something illegal and use a credit card attached to your name to do it, Nord is going to hand over your credit card info and they’ll know you did it through their VPN.

Likewise, if you do something illegal with their VPN and use your personal email, same thing.

That being said, I don’t personally use the VPN for anything illegal. If you do, I suppose you should probably either self-host or just Mull, but in my case I like Nord’s Killswitch and Mull’s is notorious for dropping off.

Neither does Nord: https://support.nordvpn.com/General-info/Features/1047407432/Do-you-store-any-logs.htm

I’m curious to hear why you think that, I’ve been using it for a year and it’s better than ExpressVPN by a long-shot. Very few connectivity problems either and it has a Linux client…

This Gameranx video has a NordVPN sponsorship for a lower rate and 4 free months - it’s pretty dang affordable. If you can afford to get that, I’d definitely do that!

Chinese. It’s a lot harder to learn since I know a ton of Spanish. It’s also one of the most widely spoken languages in the world

This is why I use a Pixel - sadly Google is gonna see this and say “great idea!” and charge for the Pixel AI features too now lol

Sometimes I feel like @The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website literally keeps my feed (and all my subscriptions) alive. Thank you for your service 🫡
