Still wont be able to afford this but maybe my 40s secret Santa will be extra generous 🤑

I’m sure the gb will be a hit!

I absolutely don’t need (nor can I afford) another QAZ but this is just too good and I must have it 🤤

As stated, my reason is that I was paying Spotify more money for less music and I was unhappy with that. You pointed out yourself that musicians barely get by in the streaming era so I would rather support them on Bandcamp (I know it has it’s own issues) or buying physical media whenever possible rather than pirating. Streaming platforms may make music you want to listen to seemingly affordable and accessible but that’s not the case for everyone. This is my personal experience.

it’s easier to just sub to something like Apple Music… literally $110/yr for all the music that exists.

As others have stated, not all music exists on every streaming platform. That alone is enough of a reason for me. I recently canceled my longtime Spotify subscription because the price kept increasing while my library kept decreasing. I actually don’t pirate music when I can help it because I’d rather support artists on Bandcamp or purchasing physical media directly. If I can’t do that then I head to Soulseek!

GIMP is fine but who can find me replacements for After Effects and Premiere Pro? I need software for video editing/motion graphics and these are the two apps keeping me shackled to Adobe for now…

I’ve had good luck accessing Channel4 via the NordVPN browser extension in Firefox. Using my desktop VPN (OpenVPN) stopped working some months ago as it was detected by the site but it seems the browser extension flies under the radar.

I love this! Where do you find inspiration?

This looks sick you did an amazing job!

I’m a MacBook user and I’ve been very happy with AlDente. It took some reading to understand all the features but I really believe it’s made a difference in the health of my battery.

I’ve been searching for music recommendation and playlist generator alternatives to Spotify and this looks great!

I’ll be taking on graphic design, branding, and motion graphics projects. I don’t have an online portfolio at the moment as I’m still getting everything together but if anyone is in need of design work they can certainly send me a message.

I quit my awful office job in September after 10 years to focus on recovery from acute health issues. I’ll be freelancing in 2024 and even though I know I made the right decision I’m secretly terrified that I will fail. Just gotta keep going!

Keycaps that came in boxes are labeled and stored on a shelf. Loose caps and switches in bags are sorted into 6.2qt. storage bins with colored lids and I have a note in my notes app with a master list of profiles (eg “Teal lid - DSS Shale, DCS Input” “Yellow lid - Gateron Pink Linear, Tecsee Carrot Linear” etc) because I was having trouble keeping track of everything.

The install script does generate docker compose and env files that you can edit. Others have suggested alternative radio options so I hope you find one that works for you :)

I actually just got Azuracast running in a container for the first time yesterday. Where are you running into trouble with the script?
