Came here to say this! Highly recommend a listen.

The Dollop Episode 659 - The Love Raft

Or the fetaverse, where the walls are made of Mediterranean cheese.

He says it at the end of the video.

It’s to explore how things are made and whether he could.

It’s actually a really interesting video

I have noticed that the search function is very unforgiving. Like, you have to search the exact title, because it will not find a partial name.

That sucks that a lot of songs didn’t come up. I’ve actually been pleasantly surprised with the content. Personally. A lot of my stuff that I thought was pretty niche I’ve been able to find.

Are you noticing any specific genres are more difficult than others?

This reads like “old man yells at clouds”

Like on one hand, sure, tiktok has accelerated the amount of info/media kids are latching onto. But also, remember street sharks? Remember pogs? Or floam? Like… shits always been like this.

Humble brag

I use Qobuz! It works well most the time. And it has a huge library. Some things are not as polished as some of the bigger companies. And there’s a lot of Initial setup to get it working…

That said, I would say it’s a great option. I do wish it had better continuous play options, as sometimes I listen to a playlist, and then it just stops. But that may be part of the learning curve. I’m not really a big “playlists” guy… I’d like to start a radio and have it find similar artists (similar to Pandora 12 years ago) But that doesn’t really seem to be the way companies are going anymore.

I have several Google mini devices (I know, I know. I’m working on it, but that’s a whole other process) and they don’t really seem to get along with qobuz all the time.

Overall, I like it, but it still needs work.

The neat part of the Internet is having communities like this explain things I’ve been feeling my whole life, but couldn’t quite find the words to describe it.

Figuring out that I have ADHD (4 years ago at age 33) made a lot of things make sense.

This is a fascinating technology. I don’t have time to watch a 30-minute video at the moment, but I will say, at least in the state of California, fluorescent tubes are no longer being sold or made because of the Mercury used in the tubes.

My question is, with the existence of LEDs and how little power they take, why would this technology be made now? Or is this really just for an experiment?

To be fair, I just replaced my Chromebook OS with mint…

However, the switch is only $300. It’s raised prices ~$100 in 40 years. Versus the PlayStation started at $300 in 95, and is up to $500. $200 in 30 years.

I understand your comparison, but some companies have extended the starting price more than others.

I mean, is it that? Or are electronics getting to an unattainable price point? What 8 year old has $400+ for a console and $60 per game? Sure, parents will buy it, but it’s out of range for many.

Discworld isn’t all that bad!

Son of a bitch I just got back into Firefox.

No shit it’s more expensive. The point isn’t to save money, it’s to save the planet.

Hahaha

Please be a true sequel. Bring the boys back from their office jobs to go on a treasure hunt.

If they HAVE to make a sequel, at least let it be good.
