@nprofile…vz0p Even though it’s more expensive than the (still very good) AT-LP60, I don’t regret holding out for the Audio Technica AT-LP120.
It’s a very forgiving, well built, nice sounding record player without the “oh, for fuck’s sake” audiophile price.

“To be a dictator (benevolent or otherwise) is to exist without the _consequences_ that prevent you from giving in to those impulses. Worse: if you are the dictator — again, benevolent or otherwise — of a big, structurally important company or nonprofit that millions of people rely on, the _consequences_ of these lapses are extremely consequential.”
I've been anticipating something about BDFLs from @nprofile…qz4x. It was definitely worth the wait.

So I put Ubuntu on a 2017 Intel MBP, right? SSD. 16GB of RAM.
From the jump, 24.10 feels way faster and more responsive on this Core i5 than Monterey ever did.
I keep hitting the CMD key when all the keyboard shortcuts in GNOME default to CTRL tho.
15 minutes of research and a restart later and I’ve got XKB swapping CMD and CTRL instead of rewiring my muscle memory. I even remapped CAPS to the ` key like I do on all of my QMK keebs.

NGL, I almost always get a lil misty during the “La Marseillaise” scene in “Casablanca”.

“By the time Friday rolls around, you’ve done nothing tangible, produced nothing meaningful, and yet you’re exhausted — an entire week spent shuffling bits of information between fifteen different systems, each charging a tidy $15 per month, per user, for the privilege of making you feel productive.”

Since I signed up for a library card in September of 2020, I’ve checked out 81 audiobooks.
Think of how much I’ve saved by not paying Audible! At least $762.45 according to my back of the napkin math.
And that would’ve only bought me enough credits for 51 of those 81 books. Probably would’ve had to drop at least another $300 to buy the rest.
How great are public libraries?

I'd really love to see fediverse server software crib the detach quote posts (when quote posts get standardized and shipped) and reply hiding features that Bluesky just dropped.

Our local record shop (Going Underground, #Bakersfield) has a video outpost two doors down where all the VHS and DVDs are $2.
After visiting this afternoon, I really feel like I need to earmark $100 and make my little free video store dream a reality in October.
The biggest trick will be fashioning a weather resistant box. It was over 100° F most of this summer, so I’d like to be ready for that next year.

Hey #BelieveInFilm folk: What was that one 35mm film stock that everyone was excited about a few months ago?

If any of y'all ditched Jetpack on your #WordPress install(s) last week and find yourself missing some of its functionality, I'd like to remind you that @npub1lme…f3qx’s Toolbelt exists:

Today’s mail contained exactly the energy that I’m trying to bring into 2024.

Just backed my fourth(!) @npub1hyk…3p33 ebook/audiobook combo of the year. ♥️

Honestly don't know how Cory does everything that he does, but I'm *always* glad to give him money to keep doing it.

🤔 Wonder if these jondoms come in boot cut…

My favorite part about backing @npub1hyk…3p33’s Kickstarter projects is that he practically has everything ready to ship *before* opening up pledges.
The process usually goes like this:
1. I find out Cory has a new book coming out.
2. I go back the ePub/Audiobook on Kickstarter.
3. Roughly six weeks later, it's sitting on my devices. ♥️
/me glares at that dumb gadget that I backed in 2015 that hasn't posted an update since 2018 (and I don't even want anymore)

Having the confidence to say “I don't know” is a fucking superpower.

According to my @npub1y8a…9625 account, I’ve finished 77(!) books since January.
Reducing the number of podcasts I listen to in favor of audiobooks is really paying off! ♥️

@npub13kl…q6yp Oh yeah. It's horrible. Blocked them a few days after I spun up my instance.
P.S. If you want to stay ahead of the assholes, @npub1eqh…fylx is a solid follow.

@npub13le…6saf I've got a #PocketCHIP sitting on my desk that's doing a great job collecting dust, so I am *very* interested in this future post. 😁

Just had an uncomfortable conversation with my nephew. He's getting to the age where he has questions. I totally get that. And I appreciate that he feels safe asking me, but still…
“Tío, how do you make movies show up on your Plex server?”
