  • I use Qobuz, and I like it a lot. You can easily download music for offline listening, there's a lot of high def on there, and from what information is known about how much streaming services pay back to record labels, Qobuz appears to be the biggest payer per stream.

    The app is no frills, they only added auto generated playlists a year or so ago. Their recommendations are less tailored, but high quality if you're wanting to explore outside your usual tastes.

    Plus, it's just music. No podcasts, no audiobooks, no games, no generative ai for some reason.

  • Good luck. I'm also on that process. Just changing email provider is enough work with over 300 accounts using my Gmail address. Don't give up, but be aware it's a lot of work.

  • I'm over 20 years into my career, so I think I'm technically (and literally) a grey beard now. I always make time for junior devs if they need it or request it. Often I try to softly inspire them to a good solution, or challenge their thinking when I think they're going down the wrong path or are creating too much work for themselves through over-engineering.

    Pair programming is an invaluable learning tool for any team. It produces great results as you are both challenging each other while also quickly spotting those silly mistakes we all make.

    Rubber Duck Debugging is also a fantastic way to solve issues quickly, as just talking through how you think the code works while reviewing it, you often spot the issue with almost no input from the person acting as the duck.

    I'd also recommend doing code katas like codewars for any skill level, as solving problems that you wouldn't usually come across in day to day work can lead to ways of thinking that you wouldn't get otherwise. If you can, get more people on your team to do the same katas and then all talk through your solutions as a group. We would often use languages we were less familiar with to solve the kata in order to pick up new skills as well.

    You never stop learning in this industry. There's always new tech, new languages, and new ways to solve a problem that will make you a better programmer.

  • Replace the NASA website with a continuous stream of the movie Hidden Figures with a scrolling banner above it saying "Fuck off Elon"

  • Specifically, control of women, their bodies and their freedom.

  • It looks like Bender in that Tales of Interest episode where he becomes human, overindulges and dies.

  • Ball pythons are just so god damn cute, I love those puppy faces.

  • The original content creator relies on advertising, click-throughs and maybe merchandise sales that you would be denying them by scraping their content. This is the entire argument against Google doing what they've been doing for the past decade. The value of Google, and by extension your rss reader, is generated by other people's content, it has little inherent value on its own as without content, it is useless. Drain the income of content creators for long enough and you no longer have content creators, so now you need another thing to generate content. Enter generative ai.

    And thus was the internet of 2024 forged, through stolen content and seeing no value in the creations of people, only desiring more content at any cost, as long as that cost to the platform is zero.

  • Worf's son Alexander was born in 2366 and was fighting in the Dominion war by 2374, at 8 years old, so I think he has her beat on precociousness.

  • This is a message to all straight guys: buy gay underwear!

    Get yourself on Andrew Christian, Box, or Aussiebum, or any of the other underwear sites that cater to gay men. We have styles of underwear you wouldn't believe. Yes there'll be rainbows on a bunch of them, but there's plenty that are more "reserved".

    BUT, what we do have is a wide range of styles that are comfortable and sexy. We have underwear that separates your cock from your balls, which are really comfortable. We have styles that allow you to show off, or act demure. We have boxer shorts that have freaking pockets!

    And because the queer community largely (not always, but we're working on it) accepts all body types, we even cater to larger guys who need a little more room in their smalls.

    Seriously boys, get yourself some sexy gay undies. Your junk, and your partners, will thank you.

  • Have you heard of "false friends?" Words that have come from one language into another, but due to use have completely changed meaning along the way, often to mean the exact opposite of their original meaning. This is common enough that, especially if you speak a Latin based language and learn English as a second language, you'll see them everywhere.

    My point is, that this is not an internet phenomena and has been a feature of languages since there has been language. Some don't last long, others are so embedded in our lexicons that we don't even notice.

  • This is why we say "the cruelty is the point" because this is where that cruelty leads.

  • And Smart Tube Next for Android TV devices.

  • Me on a Saturday night.

  • Where can I find this fish? I need a vacation from my life for a while.

  • Porous material and no flared bases, not approved.

  • Dvds still account for around half of physical media sales. Far from obsolete.

  • As a gay man, most of my list doesn't have names. Why would I remember their names? Some I didn't even ask.
