This is your periodic reminder that, unless you buy and download the music you love, it will absolutely disappear out from under you at some point.

I failed to heed my own advice! This album is pretty obscure, sure, but now it's grayed out on Apple Music, and totally gone from the iTunes Store, so too late there. Bummer.

Is there a consensus best VPN service to use for torrenting (for a 24/7 home seedbox)? I want to see some, uh, Linux distros.

gme,

@adamconover I2P is your best (and safest) bet to torrent now-a-days. I2P isn’t a VPN, it’s an encrypted, anonymous network that operates on-top of the Internet. It’s basically another dark web.

It’s the Dalnet vs. Efnet IRC split happening all over again right here on the because too many / flat out refuse to practice Assume Positive Intent.

gme,

@Ada @ada Thank you for sharing your perspective. I understand and deeply sympathize with your experiences. I can see how my “Assume Positive Intent” message may come off as dismissive of the very real and painful experiences you and others in the trans community have faced.

What I meant was to encourage open-mindedness and understanding, not to trivialize or overlook the actions of those who act in bad faith. I understand how that can be misinterpreted and potentially lead to harm. I agree that it’s vital to be cautious and discerning, particularly in discussions about the basic rights of vulnerable people. Your caution, as you’ve said, is earned the hard way, and I respect that.

I’m sorry if my post seemed insensitive. I appreciate your feedback and I’ll strive to consider the complexities of these issues more fully in the future.

gme,

@ada Assume Positive Intent doesn’t mean that you should ignore harmful behaviors or actions. If someone consistently acts in a way that is harmful or disrespectful, it’s important to address that behavior directly, even if you’re assuming positive intent. Assuming positive intent is about giving people the benefit of the doubt, not about allowing harmful behavior to continue unchecked.

If someone is being disrespectful, that behavior has to be addressed first, before anything else.

Well that was a good episode. If anything though it generates so many more questions! They seriously deviated from Star Trek history and canon with it though. The person they were going after should have been in his 40s or 50s by the 21st Century, not a pre-pubescent adolescent.

gme,

@hankg Hogwarts takes place in our current timeline and nobody believes that the events at Hogwarts actually happened though. :-)

If you think Trump is going to go to jail for the rest of his life over these classified documents, think again.

gme,

@feld Did you see the video? They were going based on the federal sentencing guidelines. You should watch the video. It’s spelled out in black and white.

gme,

@feld Again, the video goes into great detail explaining everything. I highly recommend you watch it! It’s fascinating. You can’t compare one case with another. There’s much more than just the charges that goes into the sentencing guidelines. Bottom line if Trump is convicted he’s looking at between 17.5-22 years in prison, with the potential for that to be cut by 15% for good behavior. And there is no more parole for federal convictions.

If someone is sending nasty posts and DMs to someone, or encouraging a bunch of people to do the same, I hope the recipient simply screenshots and publishes those nasty DMs to the world to show the rest of us which accounts and instances we need to block.

gme,

@supernovae There’s value in shaming. Targeted abuse and harassment should never be tolerated.

Kirk has no idea how to act in 21st Century Toronto, I guess it’s a good thing that in a couple of decades he’ll figure out how to act in 20th Century San Francisco.

Case in point… “Old Thing Back” by Notorious B.I.G.

Can not stand the original. Sorry. Just not my groove (although there are some Biggie tracks I absolutely love).

But this Matoma remix? Holy fuckin shit……

I could listen to this track on repeat all day!

I usually watch shows with Audio Descriptions because I’m watching them in a browser window on my PC and doing other stuff.

At the end of this week’s the narrator goes:

“Guest stars Adelaide Kane, guest stars Carol Kane…”

I literally spit out my tea when I heard that!

Sadly, no relation though.

Adelaide Kane is an Australian actress.

Damn good fight scenes though. ;-)

Also a little disappointed that created yet another new “Department of Temporal Investigations”.

So between this “Department of Temporal Investigations”, “Temporal Integrity Commission”, “Federation Temporal Agency”, and whatever agency Crewman Daniels was working for in Enterprise NX-01, one thing stands for certain:

Starfleet hasn’t got a damn clue what to do about time travel.

I’ve got a whole bunch of old computer books. HTML & CGI programming, perl, Visual Basic, old UNIX system administration books (Sun, HP, AIX, etc.) Struggling trying to figure out if I should donate them (I think they’re too old honestly) or if I should just take them to the landfill……

Here’s a thought… instead of dismissing, downplaying, trivializing, diminishing, or attempting to invalidate a victim’s abuse because it is perceived to be less severe than what others have experienced, how about we stop comparatively assessing a person’s experiences with those of others, instead?

You just left a loaded handgun with the child in his bedroom! Jesus Christ.
