The ironic thing about boomerangs is that they always come back to the person who threw them.

Yeah but what are they gonna do about it, throw a boomerang?

Hey now, let’s not jump to any hasty conclusions.

I pay for non popular things - bands that aren’t well known, YouTube creators who haven’t started doing those stupid “MUNDANE TASK 😱 GOES WRONG!” thumbnails yet, games or software that are free to download but hey maybe some money would be cool if you could, independent news and radio, etc.

Once something is popular I’ll just thieve it. Artists are creators deserve to get paid for their work, but once they start getting paid dozens of times over for no extra effort it’s hard to feel too bad about borrowing a free copy.

Subsonic (https://www.subsonic.org/) hasn’t been updated in years, but it still works perfectly for me. I’m mostly on Youtube Music these days just for the size of the library, but for stuff I have that YTM doesnt I still fall back to Subsonic that’s running on my HTPC.

Dudes need to knock a few zeros off the end of their currency, damn.

“Ach du lieber! Das ist not eine boobie!”

Seriously, who on earth uses facebook?

Me? I know it’s the current hotness to not be on there, but I don’t get sites like Instagram / TickTock / Snapchat where its just reacting to photos and images. I want words dammit.

Still works perfectly. I used to use it with Subsonic, now with YT Music. Plenty of music players support scrobbling to it still.

Lidarr can import from a last.fm users playlist, or last.fm tags. Can also follow Spotify lists, and monitor Apple Music for top albums and auto grab them.

When we were in Vietnam many years ago, I bought probably half a dozen books to read I’m the train. They were things like Da Vinci Code, some Clive Cussler, probably a Stephen King book or two. Basically popular English titles at the time.

All clearly dodgy copies, with 16 colour covers and poor quality print and paper. All clearly from a place like this as they were being sold EVERYWHERE by street vendors. Given I was only there for a couple of weeks I wasn’t concerned about the quality as I wasn’t planning on keeping them long term.

Without exception, every book was hugely flawed. Missing chapters, half the book just repeated, pages only half printed, random Harry Potter pages in the middle of Da Vinci Code, etc.

I kept them just for the fun factor. Never did finish Da Vinci Code (as in legitimately). I did read the first half twice though!

Yeah righto MomoPenis

just join the discord/telegram and ask them for a free 24hr trial

Yeah, nah.

I exclusively use a bookmark that still (now mostly) forces a chronological feed order.

I like their integration with 1Password to generate email aliases on the fly. Great for signing up for trials, then deleting the alias if the trial doesn’t work out. Saves you getting spammed for life just because you wanted to check something out, and hides your domain to keep things on the down low.

You could always use Windows as your host OS to maintain your ability to game and generally be productive as you currently use it, but then run VirtualBox for whatever other OS your heart desires.

You can run it headless and start on boot so you won’t even know it’s operating in the background unless you open the console.
