  • App for downsizing MP3s automatically when copying to a phone?

  • Have you considered self-hosting Plexamp? It supports lossless quality and lets you both steam and download your music at any bitrate you want (even 128 if you really have to, but fuck me that hurts to type.

    That's what I do, and before long trips with spotty service I'll download a dozen albums or so in flac so I've got a decent lossless selection for flights/etc

    Steely Fran is my touring and every day ride (she's a Salsa Vaya, a steel-frame gravel bike)

    Moon Unit is my fat-tire bike for snow, dirt, and rockhopping fun.

  • It's not exactly what you're referring to, but "Twisters" - the sequel to the tornado movie - was pretty weird.

  • The expression "it takes a village to raise a child" applies here. It's impossible for a parent to be with their child at all times. Children aren't always at home, and a lot of parents suck, don't care, or are just misinformed. YouTube is available everywhere, including at schools and libraries. Look at it like smoking. We recognize that cigarettes are dangerous and cause cancer, therefore children can't buy them. Social media companies - and let's stop pretending YouTube isn't social media, it very much is - are today's big tobacco. They need regulated, and not doing so is causing tremendous societal harm.

  • While all of that might be true, YouTube is also a for-profit cesspool of trash content, hate speech, and misinformation. An entire generation of gen z manosphere Nazi bootlickers got where they are watching "gaming videos" on YouTube.

    It auto plays by default and their algorithms are dogshit, so you might start watching an educational video with your kid, but end up on a flat earth video fifteen minutes later, or much much worse.

    When my son was younger, we severely limited his YouTube time and closely monitored what he was watching on it. Most parents don't do that.

    I dislike legislation like this too, but we're not talking about PBS or a library here. Kids truly shouldn't be on YouTube unattended.

  • As a rational human being capable of independent thought I agree with you. Unfortunately, the average American doesn't fall under this category, and there's an alarmingly significant portion of our populace who are very much okay with the Nazi shit. They voted for the Nazi shit.

    For whatever reason, pedophilia (yet not rape, misogyny, or non-sexual child abuse of any other flavor) appears to be the line for these people. So, yes, he's very much all the other things you mentioned, but for the good of public discourse, it's my patriotic duty to shout as loudly as I can for all to hear:

    The president is a pedophile

  • I was thinking the same thing reading the article! It's a greasy kind of respect, but the hustle is impressive in its audacity. There are 195 recognized countries in the world this dude could have falsely claimed to represent, but he went the extra mile and made up Seborga and West Arctica.

    Incredible.

    Yes, I'm old, but I really want to believe that at some point the rest of the world is going to figure out that there's nothing particularly fun or funny about weaponized propaganda formatting, and go back to sharing actual information.
