I jumped to Tidal many years ago because Spotify could not be bothered to provide high quality output. Yes, you can ear the difference, even on shitty gear.

For the stuff I could not get on either platform I started buying CDs on Discogs and ripping them to FLAC.

Ok, ok, you win. I’ve signed it.

You are right about that.

I’m sorry to disagree. I’ve been using Microsoft crap since the days where you had to free up memory in config.sys to load Novell Netware drivers, and never has Microsoft been the cool kid in town. It was always the fat bastard bully kid that would beat and extort the other kids.

foot-pounds

Oh, you Americans and your silly made-up units.

If you are in a hurry, try Up.

I’ve been running Steam as a Flatpak for a long time, it works just fine regardless of the underlying distro. Don’t panic.

Another vote for PiHole. It keeps your home network cleaner by ignoring the ads.

Terminator is my weapon of choice. Supports tabs, multiple terminals per tab, multiple terminal input and a lot of other neat stuff.

I loathe gyms, they are usually full of smelly obnoxious people.

The alternate I found is putting on running shoes, headphones, and go outside.

True, but living in a country where the majority of cars are still manual I can tell you that that myth still stands.

We have electronic injection engines, you can stop with that neutral crap now.

The IBM Thinkpads with butterfly keyboard.

Or the Psion Series 5, but that’s technically a palmtop.
