I do have a lot of favorites from over the years but I still find new bands/albums I fall in love with. So instead of recommending any old favorites I will give you my album of the year (thus far) from a band I didn’t really enjoy before.

Caligula‘s Horse - Charcoal Grace

Absolutely fantastic album and I would strongly recommend listening to it from start to finish.

Seriously, since Apple stopped including a wall brick I have not had a single-port power adapter in my household. All I have now are a few power adapters with multiple USB A and C outputs so I can charge whatever is needed.

Not sure what’s the chicken and what’s the egg here but maybe they didn’t know how much work would have to be done and thus how much money it would cost.

But it’s all just speculation and neither am I trying to defend them nor do I have a use case for this particular feature. I just wanted to interject a different possible scenario.

Well maybe they found them and they told him what he’s saying now?

Since it’s a separate entity from you I’d say my point stands. Also, fuck the being. Don’t let it be the boss of you.

Sorry that I have to be the bearer of bad news here (or maybe it’s good news? Who knows). When you’re dead you’ll most likely not care about what people do or say…

Scary in what context? For the user? For you as the host? Something else I’m not thinking of?

Ok, I know nothing about grenades but from what I’ve seen I imagine there’s a spring mechanism and that is clamping the pin down. So wouldn’t pressing down on the clamp make pulling the pin easy/easier?

Dunning-Kruger entered the chat.

Because the defining quality of a Placebo is how much of anything it receives…

Is it more complicated to achieve than in other e2ee messengers? Yes, thus saying it is complicated is justified.

Although it is very much on the Science Fantasy side of things your thoughts remind me of the “The Final Architecture” book series by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Really enjoyed reading the trilogy.

If it wasn’t for RouterOS which is closed source and has such a dated ui/ux…

but not really modern hardware

That is kind of an understatement, I believe the hardware is now at least 8 years old if I’m not mistaken, and to me the biggest deterrent right now. If they updated the hardware to relatively modern standards I wouldn’t mind the price tag and probably buy one immediately. As it stands though, no chance.

Is mentioning Barbara Streisand in this context feminist propaganda? 😄

First thing I thought when seeing this. Looks like a poster for a gig and the setlist. Someone needs to put an ai to it and make the most garbage of songs out of those titles 😆

I’ve never witnessed someone pouring chemicals into a river. I guess that means no laws are needed in this regard ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don’t understand. No law prevents anyone from doing what’s forbidden. Are you saying all laws are futile? Otherwise what is different with this law that makes it futile?

Also, we usually can do many things at once or in succession. We can raise prices on sugary food, start programs to inform the public about the impact sugar has on health, make school lunches more healthy etc. Would you complain that it is futile raising prices if it was the first thing proposed or would you say “Good, let’s do this and also the other things.”?

When I heard the Tool cover of No Quarter and found out the original was by Led Zeppelin I gave that version a spin too. My disappointment was immeasurable and my day was ruined.

Reason being that I really like the Led Zeppelin vocalist. But his performance on that song is just unbearable to me.

The Tool cover though, absolutely amazing!

Am I misremembering? I thought there already were some cases in other countries 1 or 2 years ago.
