Why I collect vinyl. Thanks @durrymusic.bsky.social hope to see your live show one day.

THIS ONE RECORD IS WORTH MORE THAN 8,000 STREAMS. THE MODERN MEDIA LANDSCAPE HAS TAUGHT US THAT ENTERTAINMENT HAS NO TRUE VALUE. THAT THE ARTS ARE A FREE FLOWING COMMODITY, AND WE OWE THE CORPORATIONS FOR GIVING US ACCESS TO THEM, WHILE THEY PAY ARTISTS NEXT TO NOTHING. WHEN YOU BUY RECORDS YOU PUT THE POWER BACK WITH THE ARTIST. THIS RECORD WAS MADE BY REAL PEOPLE WITH REAL INSTRUMENTS. YOU'LL HEAR THE WRINKLES, YOU'LL HEAR THE WOOD CREAKING ON OUR CRUMMY GUITARS, AND THE REAL DRUMS BOUNCING OFF THE REAL WALLS OF A REAL ROOM FILLED WITH REAL FRIENDS. WE HOPE YOU LOVE THESE SONGS. WE HOPE THIS RECORD STAYS WITH YOU FOR A LONG TIME, AND WE HOPE SOMEDAY WE'LL MEET YOU FACE TO FACE AT A SHOW SO WE CAN THANK YOU PERSONALLY FOR TAKING THIS TIME TO LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM. WHEN YOU'RE DONE, WE HOPE THAT YOU'LL FIND ANOTHER SMALL ARTIST TO SUPPORT DIRECTLY.
FOREVER THANKFUL FOR THE LIFE WE HAVE, AND ALL THE PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT MAKE IT POSSIBLE..

They don't own me
They just own the only thing
That's keeping me alive
They swear that's not a threat
'Cause I could always starve to death
Guess I'll pledge allegiance to the paycheck

I refuse to use more than 2% brain capacity on work emails. ChatGPT can absolutely drool into a keyboard on my behalf if it means I don't have to

Is there any fkn ETA on a report button on #wplace? Seriously, it's getting a bit ridiculous

VR is possible, but still pretty jank. It's nowhere near as painless as flat gaming yet, sadly

*Canonical made some questionable and unpopular decisions in recent times, but as of right now, it's still a good choice. I've heard Ubuntu described as the Honda Civic of linux distros, and I think that's apt.

Depending on your usecase, there might be better options:

Gamer - Bazzite
Tinkerer - Pop! OS
Just want it to fkn work - Ubuntu/Kubuntu* (Mint fits here too)
Determined to learn, not matter how hard/painful it is - Arch
No, really, make it hurt - LFS

Choosing a distro is half the fun.

There's even an argument to be made for NOT using Mint if you plan to distro hop in the future. While you CAN install Cinnamon on other distros, that's not very beginner friendly. If you're gonna learn a new environment, better to learn KDE or Gnome, which are more widespread (but choose KDE imho)

Agree with the sentiment, disagree with 2. Nothing wrong with mint, but they're JUST trying to be an OOTB good experience. It looks and feels like OLD Windows (~7). If that's your thing, great, but if you're from Mac land, or just want something fresh, it might be better to shop around.

I mean, obvious danger aside, it's really aesthetically pleasing! Beauty is worth risking a few fingers for
