Haha yep inviting the wrong person was absolutely the big issue. I think I read something about it being an unofficial fork out of Israel though, but everything moves so fast these days it’s hard to keep up

Specially with all the recent scrutiny on it in the news, hackers are figuring out ways in.

I’m assuming you mean the US gov’t debacle? It’s already been proven that they were using a fork, not the genuine Signal app. The fork was built with a back door. As far as I’m aware (and please correct me if I’m wrong) Signal has yet to be hacked and is currently among the most secure options.

It’s almost like the US gov’t might benefit from convincing its citizens that the fully encrypted messaging app is dangerous so they should just go back to Whatsapp and Telegram.

I would watch the hell out of that haha. American Dad has a joke about the audio book of Plato’s Republic read by Gilbert Gottfried.

First, I made ‘Album Artists’ my landing page. 'Artists" includes everyone tagged in the metadata, ‘Album Artists’ only contains the primary artists. For me, the difference is 350 album artists vs 1412 artists.

I run everything through Picard when I add something to the server. Sometimes I have to change the metadata (for example I hate having an entry for ‘&’ like Elton John & Hans Zimmer and I’ll change it so the album is included in both Elton John and Hans Zimmer but theres no entry for them together). But generally it’s pretty simple and smooth.

Looks like this:

Kagi has a lens that only searches the Fediverse.

Absolutely. I never imagined I’d pay for search but Kagi is leaps and bounds better than other search engines. I decided to pay when I realized how much I search every day after getting the free trial. Went through 100 searches in four days. If I search that much, paying for an engine that has no ads, uses useful lenses, and lets me block results from sites like Facebook was a no-brainer.

Max Brooks, Mel is his father. I’d expect a Mel Brooks-written Zombie guide would be a bit…different…

Has Mullvad ever been required to comply for anything though? Or are you saying Mullvad has already, and refused to follow Swedish law?

To paraphrase Dr. Who, this has always stuck with me: Never be cruel, never be cowardly. Remember – hate is always foolish…and love, is always wise. Always try to be nice, and never fail to be kind.

Yep

Star Wars is right there…

This is how I discovered I search around 20 times a day. Burned through it pretty quick haha

Hans Zimmer. Add collabs with Lisa Gerrard and Klaus Badelt for Gladiator and Pirates of the Caribbean. Honestly, just go through the whole range of emotions and watch/listen to his Live in Prague. Start to finish it’s beyond wonderful. His soundtrack to Madagascar has no reason to slap as hard as it does.

Not really a scam, he was pretty up front about it.

Imposter syndrome just limits you. Nothing wrong with fake it 'til you make it. If you’re not doing it, someone else is. Just base your opinion of them on what you see, and act the same regarding other’s opinions of you. Actions speak louder than words.

I too watched Death of a Unicorn
