My son had been following this development on Reddit for the past several months and brought it to my attention several days ago. Fascinating story!

They will watch the world burn for more money and power. They are diseased dragons laying on mountains of gold <- J.R. Tolkien reference.

I had, simply, forgotten that my friend had given me a free account.

Whoops! I forgot to mention that I have a tech friend that gave me a free profile/account that I use with the OpenVPN client.

Using a VPN solved this problem for me. If you don’t want to pay for a VPN, then use OpenVPN Connect.

Beeper is partially open source and I’ve used it for many years now.

Damn file access permissions!

I have sent an access request

To where?

I’m only a 2 hour drive from where you live. I imagine, eventually, we’ll meet up sometime.

May I have a 'rain check"?

You’re very welcome and thank you for your contributions to Beehaw.

Please, let me know if you are unable to play these files. I can easily convert them.

VLC should be able to play these files. I’ll upload the entire playlist as a .zip and then post the link here. If VLC doesn’t support it, then let me know and I’ll help.

I now have that entire collection in .opus format. Do you have a way to play this music format? If you don’t, then I can convert the files to MP3.

Send me a link to the soundcloud collection and let me see what I can do, please.

I found Rubberband. There’s a copy of Quarter Life Crisis on Ebay for $99! LOL.

EDIT: found Song for Dad

EDIT2: found Twenty Minutes

I understand and completely agree from someone who is knowledgeable about this subject matter. However, MOST people are NOT. To clarify again, (and this is something that is getting very annoying to repeat over and over again) the general public have almost NO knowledge about the differences between operating systems.

Microsoft Windows is heavily marketed and, for most of the general public that aren’t aware of Linux, is a cheaper option compared to Apple/Mac/iOS.

I worked with/on Windows for two decades. Through those years I became more and more frustrated with the bugs and vulnerability to outside attacks. Windows is going to be attacked more, and for other reasons, because it is used by more people (a greater attack surface to exploit).

Back in 2008 I switched to Apple/Mac/iOS. I have never regretted it.

IF you have the time/knowledge (which most of the general public doesn’t have) to use Linux, then I’d recommend it.

Please, stop with this ‘fan-boy’ shit about operating systems. Use logic and rational thinking which I believe that I’ve shown above.

Correct. I grew up listening to all of that!

I’ve edited it into the body of the post. https://archive.is/TcoAi

Great lyrics!
