That would explain things, if I weren’t deploying my backend apps on Linux all this time, except for like three years with sysadmins who preferred FreeBSD. Maybe that’s my sin, dunno.

Also, somehow I have only now learned that Matia Bazar isn’t the name of the singer, and they had multiple vocalists. I’ve known this band for like thirty years, I’ve seen it on a CRT tv! Perhaps I’ve come across this fact before, but it slipped my mind. I think, however, that Antonella Ruggiero is the best-known vocalist of theirs.

They also have a dude named Fabio Perversi on the keyboards. That’s a certifiable porno name.

To my shame, I’m not quite familiar with Hagen’s singing style, mostly knowing her for the punkish new-wave antics. She never came to mind as much of a singer per se, but rather as a theatrical-type performer.

Eh, to me this shows the spirit of the '94 Woodstock. Primus’ performance is the same way.

I watched the film recently and completely missed that subtext. Could you please point me to where those hints are?

For the context, this is what I was listening to before opening this post. So you can imagine my surprise when I opened the track saying ‘bass’ and heard no bass.

HPD

I’m distressed by the fact that I guessed what ‘H’ means in that abbreviation — despite English not being my native language.

Thank you BBC for the one-sentence-a-paragraph formatting. But none of that explains why people fail to grok the message of the media.

Bojack is relatable. He’s just super duper depressed.

White’s whole thing was that he wanted power, not just money.

I vaguely heard that Heinlein engaged with a whole bunch of different ideologies for different books.

Eh, we all grow old and pathetic.

I tend to not judge people who had an entire career before I even gained consciousness.

Unfortunately you’re completely wrong with your attitude.

Unfortunately I’m of the opinion that the early albums make the band.

Interpol and Franz Ferdinand are from the 2000s, The Cure are from the eighties. Not sure how ‘modern’ they are.

Nah, I’ve got an ancient machine with too little memory. However, you reminded me that I might want to look into NixOS just to check out how it works, for better or worse.

By the way, perhaps you could inform me as to how one sets up their environment to reliably pause playback when the play/pause keyboard key is pressed. Because apparently it’s too hard for Linux.
