  • Users vow to boycott Spotify after streamer runs ICE recruitment ad

  • I switched to Qobuz about six months ago after also trialling Deezer, Tidal, Apple Music and YT Music. Highly recommended. Their curated playlists are excellent and I can't believe what a different the higher quality and lossles bitrates makes. They pay artists way more than the other platforms though, remarkably, they're the only (major) platform to actually publish per-stream figures, even if they're only averages. Based in France if that matters to you. They only offer paid plans but do have free trials and provide users with a code for a third-party migration service to bring your playlists over.

  • +1 for Home Assistant, and then with Add Ons it can also do other useful home network stuff (network ad blocker, VPN, *arr, etc).

  • These people are actively willing George Orwell's nightmare into being.

    The Ministry of Plenty's forecast had estimated the output of boots for the quarter at one-hundred-and-forty-five million pairs. The actual output was given as sixty-two millions. Winston, however, in rewriting the forecast, marked the figure down to fifty-seven millions, so as to allow for the usual claim that the quota had been overfulfilled. In any case, sixty-two millions was no nearer the truth than fifty-seven millions, or than one-hundred-and-forty-five millions. Very likely no boots had been produced at all. Likelier still, nobody knew how many had been produced, much less cared. All one knew was that every quarter astronomical numbers of boots were produced on paper, while perhaps half the population went barefoot.

  • You'll pay through the nose, but look at digital signage panels. They are bristling with I/O, configurable to the nth degree, wonderfully over-engineered and utterly free from bloat.

  • I will be taking no followup questions. Thank you for your time

  • A phone would be a bit much, but an ereader with a solar charger loaded up with Wikipedia and a chunk of Project Gutenberg would probably last with a bit of care.

  • That's a joke-turned-plot element from one of the Hitchhiker's Guide books. The protagonist, a human everyman stranded with a primitive culture on a distant world realises he has no idea how electricity, steam engines, medicine, etc works but he becomes a respected member of their community by making sandwiches.

  • So to be clear: there is no correlation between weed use and hotdog use, other than that they're both in decline. This means that they created this graph showing two unrelated datasets for no reason other than that they could. Or, maybe, because they wanted to use the cursed image of a spliff in a hotdog bun.

  • IF the phone can output enough power with it's OTG port AND has the correct drivers for that cheap-ass looking USB framebuffer graphics thing AND that's an active HDMI to VGA adapter rather than some shitty vendor-specific implementation based on some unholy bastardisation AND the phone supports external displays... then I still don't think it'd work, tbh (but it won't (it might though (it won't))).

  • It's called "eliminating competition".

  • Which timezone would win in a conflict?

    Jump

  • Every military in the world uses UTC so I'm gonna say that.

    Otherwise, I'd go for UTC-1 because... well, look at it. There's no way they could lose because there's nothing there to lose. Nuke away, boyos, it's all ocean.

  • Why aren't those into bondage and S/M called "leatherosexuals"?

  • Anyone else remember the B3ta newsletter? I mean, it's still going, but still. Anyway, they ran a competition for a long time to get the work "bumsexual" printed in a newspaper. Not sure if anyone succeeded.

  • No-one wants this. If the base unit has a contactless card reader on it there is absolutely no benefit, and I would shun any charger that doesn't have a card reader of any sort on principle. It's complicated, invasive and unreliable.
