  • I 100% do. I think mp3 is a good compromise of sound and space. It’s also the format I’m used to. Just like how people swear by physical record. If I’m at a get together and hear mp3 quality, I’m at home.

    That being said, I have my absolute favorites in flac for my iPod 5th gen video I rebuilt. The 5th gen’s dac, Wolfson, is a solid little dac for the day and age. Got Rockbox loaded up and I’m ace, but I’ve hard saved all the Apple firmware for every model in case the time came to sell them. Old iPods could be an investment someday and I own every gen in multiples.



  • Mullvad has a lot of perks. Like I mentioned, no deals for buying yearly. Get it month by month for the same price. No account connections. You get an ID number and that’s it. That ID is your password and username. Pay with nearly anything. Crypto, card, money services, even mail in physical cash.

    There’s a lot to love about it, and it hands down has some of the fastest tunnels I’ve used. Nord was always half my internet speed no matter what I connected to. You don’t even need Google Play if you want to use it on android. It’s open source, so grab it right on F-Droid. Easily supports any OS. If you don’t want a GUI, there’s a CLI alternative, too.

    This advertisement was not paid for by Mullvad VPN.


  • Yeah, but for every dictator there’s countless intelligent revolutionaries. Especially when it comes to the internet.

    They’re really shooting themselves in the foot trying to deny us/force overcharge the very thing they use to make us complacent in the first place: media.

    If they were smart they’d ignore this bill. It would just bring attention to their attempt to essentially seize the internet and for what? For us just to get around it again anyway?

    Not to mention if they enforce US VPNs to conform it’ll just result in more currency leaving the country. No wonder this fucking floundering economy is all our fault.

    Governing is like holding a marble to the table with your thumb. The more you press down, the more likely that marble is to shoot out and break your shit.




  • Builds. Build builds builds. Whether its slowly tailoring your class to a build, or roguelike unlocking items and abilities to build around each run. It’s why I like things such as Diablo, PoE, Last Epoch, Binding of Isaac, Tales of Maj’Eyal, Neverwinter Nights, Baldur’s Gate, etc.

    Its also why I was severely disappointed with ArcheAge. And unhappy when I returned to GW2 to find my world bossing combat medic off-meta bleed Warrior pretty much useless. Used to tank boss AoEs to revive downed people using healing shouts and increased revival speed. They nerfed and removed the revival speed node from Warrior and the build lost half it’s function.

    Be honest about it if you get an interview, but be clear that it took some time to get where you needed to be. Let them know that you’ve worked hard to get the help you needed and are more than ready to get back into the world.

    When Chewy hired me for remote work, they also asked what I had done during my unemployment. They seemed pleased to hear I had been building skills in web design and UI/UX as well as becoming a professional typist at 90 wpm average. So have your accomplishments ready, no matter how small they may seem.

    He’s been so deeply invested in code itself and cloistered in Udemy courses. Trust me, I know how it sounds.

    He really doesn’t communicate with others in the business, which right now I think is his downfall. No connections.

    He’s the “no distractions and dive into paid resources” type of learner and I’m the “scour the web and find news and free resources” type of learner, but I’m easily distracted.

    Agreed. I NEETed for five years. Never left my apartment, sponged off my gf, terrified of going out. Even that long is hard to get out of.

    Thankfully I kept my weight mostly in check and I still had some humble charisma when I needed to interact with people. This let me seek help which culminated in severe anxiety and sleep apnea diagnoses.

    Let me tell you, though. Even 5 years is enough to make any sort of potential employer wrinkle their nose at your application. I had to dig hard through my grave topsoil.


  • I once worked with that one person. You know the one, heavy enjoyer of cannabis even on the job. He was THE person. No, let me put it into perspective.

    The guy would down a full bottle of cannalean 1k nano THC before work and would come in with a massive 500mg candy in his mouth. This kid would impress old Tommy Chong.

    The first thing he’d ever tell you is that he ate human flesh. Apparently, him and a buddy were cooking something and his buddy cut the tip of his finger off on the cutting board. He said that they both stared at it for a long time before my coworker asked, “Can I eat that?” If its true, these guys had to have been blasted.

    Shame he was fired for sleeping on the job.

    My much brainier than me friend was telling me about the courses he was taking to apply to Oracle. I had to break it to him how far down they’ve fallen, and not to expect anything working for them. He’s smart, but not in the right social channels like the Fediverse to see what the real people are saying.

    This. I rocked a 3 for 3 years. My inner screen peeled year one. Being a dummy, I thought it would be fine. The inner crease started to peel just a tiny bit after year 2. It was small and still worked great. I got full trade in value for it and my Fold 6 has 0 problems.

    Unless you get a factory defect, folding phones are amazing if you’re gentle with opening and closing them
