Honestly, while I still use Apple Music for some things (I don’t like Apple, but I’m unfortunately stuck on it right now), I’m a big fan of building up a collection of digital media files bought either directly from artists or ripped from the CD collection I’m building. I usually go for FLAC, though less for its compression and more for its superior metadata support compared to WAVs.

For discovering new music, Bandcamp allows you to check out some songs; otherwise, check it out on YouTube or something and buy it directly from the artist later.

Like others have said, Bandcamp might not have everyone, but they do have a lot of indie artists and even some bigger ones. Some artists that don’t have everything on Bandcamp might have their own store you can buy from.

It for a fact uses CEF: https://www.spotify.com/us/opensource/

Chromium Embedded Framework literally describes itself as follows on its Git repos: “Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF). A simple framework for embedding Chromium-based browsers in other applications.”

The Spotify “app” is mostly just web app code running on top of a single page Chromium instance, meaning for the most part, it isn’t truly native.

While we’re at it, let’s just pull in Chris Pine (multiverse crap) and William Shatner (Nexus crap) and have one of those nutty SNW episodes that sounds like a horrible idea but is surprisingly one of the better episodes that season:

I like to imagine some weird historian who insisted on pen accidentally flipped the ‘9’ in ‘2191’, and that error just happened to end up in the Enterprise D’s historical database; the holodeck just went along with the error, and Riker was none the wiser, having gotten a C- in Early Federation History at the Academy and having frequently gone to the bathroom “for legitimate reasons” during his high school Earth history class. It was only in mid-2380 that he finally discovered his misconception.

Although it’d still be a bit dismal that trip only lived to 70.

MIPS I get, but armel feels a little weird; I’d wager there’s more production users of Debian on armel than RV64 - not a huge use case, but one that merits a bit more consideration.

I think ~2030 would have been a more realistic date, since most of the last devices with ARMv6 would be about 20 years old by then.

I love the Jake Nog shenanigans episodes.

Though I am a Debian fan, I don’t think trying another distro will help too much.

Not necessarily. In the case of this specific GPU, both 12 and 13 support that model quite well. I can’t tell if Trixie supported RDNA4 out of box, but if it doesn’t, I’m sure Backports does just fine.

Remind me of the babe.

You do.

What power?

So that’s why she reminds me of the babe…

I mean, I had an uncle showing me HTML at 7 (not a programming language, but still). I learned basic JS on Khan Academy at 11, and if I’d known it had existed earlier, I would have started earlier.

Can we pulp the Worfs down into more of a Worf slurry and fill the Enterprise with that? We can give each of them a warrior’s death first if we need to.

The LaTeX formulas make me chuckle so hard.

Warriors seal their own stembolts!

You talk like a Ferengi bIHnuch! The glooreeee of one meme has a value unequaled by any amount of latinum.

That’s pretty normal for most UEFI x86_64 things up to 2020 or so.

I had Subway Surfers as a kid and still watched Star Trek.

And just replace Bluey with Thomas and Friends or whatever.
