The movie about Melania Trump I’d think

Most of Europe I’d say…

I’ve never understood why people buy clothing from expensive brands (except for when there is a real expectation of quality/durability)

Like, I understand it if the choice were only between original and poor-quality rip-off. But usually you can just go with something else that isn’t by an expensive brand and isn’t a rip-off…

True, I had to think of magic cards, too. I would definitely print my own cards if I’d play nowadays…

Nice article! As an outsider I still don’t get why people wouldn’t sell/buy unpainted minis for cheap (e.g. on etsy)

Hm, it’s good I’d say. There isn’t everything on Tidal and so I have to have some albums on my phone or bandcamp (that is true for Spotify as well). And Tidal isn’t great at distinguishing artists with the same name. But I don’t listen to any popular music and I’m fine. Now that Tidal knows my taste it also gives me some great recommendations. I’ve actually started listening to the “my daily discovery” playlists nearly every day. It updates daily and quite often there is something new and interesting in there. I’ve got an IDM playlist of 539 tracks. And through Tidal I’ve discovered jazz, a ton of vintage african music, luk thung/mor lam, and other genres I hadn’t even known :)

Sure, I don’t use the youtube algorithm. You could just use any alternative fronted like grayjay (unfortunately made by this guy above) or newpipe. Then you don’t fall prey to the algorithm but rather have a feed based on your own subscriptions.

Maybe just delete your youtube account? I’ve never even had a youtube account at all and I’m a heavy youtube consumer…

Thanks for the recommendations! Haven’t read any of these books and after reading some reviews, I’m intrigued.

If you liked the details in Moby Dick about whaling, you may also be interested in this great BBC series I’ve discovered a few weeks ago: Inside nature’s giants where they dissect large animals and explain their anatomy and evolution. There are also two episodes of stranded whales being dissected ;)

LimeWire, the popular peer-to-peer file sharing app from the early aughts that was resurrected by new owners in 2022 as an NFT marketplace, is back once again. But this time it’s just the platform’s retro branding that’s making a comeback as part of a new officially licensed apparel collection from lifestyle brand Dumbgood.

The current iteration of LimeWire has no affiliation with the original company (Lime Group LLC) that developed the popular file sharing app. The modern web3-focused version of LimeWire claimed an expired trademark and purchased the LimeWire.com domain from a former developer in 2021, according to Torrent Freak.

Doesn’t sound like it really exists as such but rather like it is used to flesh out the name.

It works, but since the beginning of the year there haven’t been any updates to the xmanager version anymore and various functionalities have been lost. Really annoying when shuffle is on by default for example :(

(Edit: maybe more correct to say that since about half a year the xmanager team is only releasing experimental versions since Spotify made some major changes to their software.)

I’ve been using two different (refurbished) Pixel phones with CalyxOS for over 3 years now. It is a really great experience :) And the photos the phones can take are great, too!
