iTunes stores them by audio file tags, so the better you tag your files, the better organized they get in the file and folder structure. So say you want to grab you Oingo Boingo Dead Man's Party album for some reason, it will be organized by Oingo Boingo/Dead Man's Party/1. Dead Man's Party.mp3, etc etc.

Mind you, I have never in my life tried to use it, but my understanding is that is the Fediverse equivalent of FB. I'm mostly on Mastodon or Pixelfed, which are the equivalents of Twitter and Instragram.

For a moment there, Trump almost respected Obama.

"Wow! Look a the grift on this guy! Why am I not receiving royalties on legislation too?"

And last I checked (but it’s been a few years) you could easily buy a “salvage” SN on eBay for like $15.

No offense but with the number of random processes running on any given machine, I am in no way gonna trust a mission critical app to work right from a pirate site and not load something extra like a keylogger. Hell it barely works right in a fully legal install…

Also, I used to strongly advocate switching off Creative Cloud to Affinity to own the software but I have this horrible feeling that they may be going either subscription or AI slop or both on the 30th and you can no longer buy version 2.

(And I say that as a long-time Adobe stockholder from back before they went pure evil with Creative Cloud.)

Typical teen: "What?? No mom, I just crushed some beans earlier, I swear!"

It's always projection, lol…

Never use the app when there is a website version available?

Probably about 1 year's worth of dial-up per month of Starlink, if not more…

I mean I don't have the amount of time necessary to go into how dirty past presidents have been and I certainly don't have the knowledge at my fingertips. But also, I think the stuff like Watergate and Monica Lewinski is barely a blip on the chart when you put Trump on it too. Which is not to say I condone the behavior of those presidents or seek to normalize their behavior. Just that from a numerical perspective it barely registers.

Like an order of magnitude worse?

  • No sitting president before him has been a convicted felon.
  • No sitting president before him has been involved in the sheer volume of sexual scandals from assault to cheating to being implicated in possible pedophilia.
  • No sitting president before him has refused to return literally boxes and boxes of classified documents which he kept as trophies (or possibly as items for sale) while storing them in extremely inappropriate ways. (This is extremely different from Biden, btw, who promptly returned a few accidentally retained documents. Trump was playing shell games with them, repeatedly swearing he had returned them all while doing things like loading them on planes to move to other locations, etc.)
  • No sitting president before him has attempted to overthrow the government when they lost an election.
  • The level of bribery and corruption in his administration is off the charts.
  • The number of lies he tells has always been off the charts. ("I've never heard of Project 2025!" while having given a speech to its members and now following its plans to dismantle the federal government.)
  • His department heads have all been picked to dismantle the departments they're in. (Project 2025 again)

And then of course there is the christofascism angle, which is extremely disturbing because he definitely plans to never leave power again. He's currently trying hard to normalize use of military force against US citizens so he can seize control of the elections to make sure they go his way.

As far as I know, there still aren't any non-WebKit engines for iOS, even though the possibility is theoretically there as of 17.4… (It may need to be EU-only? I'm not clear on that part.)

 

This really sucks… they plan to build here with or without city approval.

 

Remember to write the city council and mayor, folks! And the next public meeting about this is Wednesday (see earlier post).

 

Might want to tell your city counsel person to oppose this. Or at least attend the public meeting on 7/23 to learn more about it.
