That sounds so great. Do you know the device’s product name? Which library do you get this from? I’d like to try it out in my library.

Wow. Thank you. That was gross, but now it’s clean.

Talking post-Sesame Street/Mister Rogers/Electric Co. tunes

Circa 1983 on my first plane ride alone, aged about 10, from CA to GA, headphones plugged into the armrest with the ashtray inside: ‘The Tide Is High’ by Blondie was the first ‘grown-up’ song I recall that grabbed me.

David Eddings? I read him way back when I was a kid (~35 years ago). Think the series was called The Belgariad or Belgarion. The first 3-6 books were fun in a light yet captivating, magicy, fantasy way.

Ian Curtis (Joy Division), though that would probably screw up the timeline for New Order and all of 80’s music (not a dealbreaker).

Prince (obvs)

I’m on a Galaxy S7’edge’ that I really need to migrate away from. I don’t want the foldable, and I’m not into iphones. How good/bad is the Galaxy S24 in this situation?

I quit in 2019, by basically OD-ing on the patch. I had multiple patches on me at all times; at the end, it felt like my skin was burning

I thought ‘Kay’ was too obvious

This is for Stall Action: There are 4 stalls.

Almost every guy takes the stall closest to the door, so I never take that stall. Since almost every guy takes the first stall, I never take the second stall cuz, eww.

The fourth stall is the handicap stall. While roomier and equipped with handlebars should the need arise, I do not use this stall.

Therefore, the third stall is my unloading port of choice as it seems to get the least use.

As I understand it, there’s a huge downside to federated software in the requirement to be Always Online. Lots of people have slow internet connections, or no connection at all, preventing them from accessing their software. Everyone should be able to use the programs/apps they have without regard to whether they are online or can get online.

I’ve never heard of an archaeologist too scared of a new endeavor. (I have no friends and fewer archeologist friends.)

Congratulations! Please, do a TedTalk or something!

Does anyone have experience/thoughts about Mojeek?

I just recently learned about it and haven’t really explored it, but curious.

Thanks!

There are SO many great offerings here, but Elizabeth Fraser (Cocteau Twins), I think, blows them all away. https://piped.video/results?search_query=cocteau+twins

I wouldn’t be so quick to donate to CCDH.

Mike Masnick over at Techdirt has thoughts I found interesting. (and here)

Countdown to a certain segment of white Americans saying they are the oppressed minority, need their guns to fend off the ‘colored majority,’ and need food stamps… (I think this is already happening with some religious groups) (I’m white - but I do not hold these beliefs!)

It sucks migrating between instances right now. I’ve found no way to port my subscriptions from one instance to another. All of your subscriptions are saved on your current instance as websites, but to subscribe on you new instance they need to be formatted ![name]@instance Lots of work needs to be done

Left interior coat/jacket pocket for phone. I’m in SF, so always wear some kind of coat/jacket.

Can you recommend an appropriate community to post questions to about this? I have all the CSV files from Reddit, just not sure how to proceed/request deletion of my posts from Reddit.
