I recently revived my record player and CD player and I've been enjoying three things:

You have to think about what to listen to,
the player is completely offline and separate from the devices you work and communicate on, so nothing will interrupt and you feel you're doing something different, and
it means you listen to whole albums, not mixed up playlists, so you get deeper into it.

What I don't enjoy is that records in particular are ridiculously expensive now. I don't know who can afford them. So I'm stuck with the records and CDs of my youth and whatever I can find in bargain bins.

I do also use Qobuz and... other means of obtaining music.

Can we stop publishing these articles? I was enjoying the cheap CDs.

Their post history reveals them to be kind of a jerk. If it was an attempt at sarcasm it was a poor one.

The frustrating thing is we can't boycott AWS since so many of the sites we use run on it. But yes, we absolutely shouldn't buy things through Amazon or any of the other web stores Amazon owns.

It's Americans who will be paying, if they want what the penguins have to offer. That'll teach those judges!

Lasers tend not to be good for camera sensors, I've heard.

That was definitely a joke.

Heather Doshay, head of people at SignalFire, told the New York Times: "Nobody has patience or time for hand-holding in this new environment, where a lot of the work can be done by A.I. autonomously."

This is how they think. It's not smart.

"I can destroy the trade. I can destroy the country," Trump said.
"I'm allowed to impose a foreign destroying embargo, I can embargo, I can do anything I want, but I can't charge $1." In a bizarre explanation, Trump said he "was very modest in my ask of other countries".
"I didn't want to do anything that would affect the decision of the court," he said.
"I wanted to be a good boy."

"I didn't want to hurt you, but you've left me no choice." He thinks about everything like a violent, abusive rapist. Probably because he's a violent, abusive rapist.

Nobody who's into vibe coding wants to talk about it. The sane people, on the other hand, are already well aware.

New Teams or Teams Classic?

Linux won't be legal in Colorado if they pass this. You'll need an account with some age-policing, ID-reporting corporation to be able to use a computing device.

How do they imagine they could enforce this though? Presumably quite selectively, based on the user's political leanings.

If ordinary users could get a good supply of even DDR4 from China it would be a big relief. Not everyone needs to be at the cutting edge of performance, but we all need enough RAM to make a useful machine.

Now Ezra Klein is going to have to work overtime to explain at length why they are wrong.

Under fascism it's for none, but many are too slow to realize this.

Well, the files contain allegations that he raped and beat children and was involved in their murders too.

He already tried it years ago with the whole "birther" thing.

A massive dump of irrelevant files to distract from the fact that they still need to release 3 million more Epstein files.

Well there is the whole thing of Trump raping children.
