At its simplest, rewrite and interface regularly with knowledge. There’s an entire hobby around personal knowledge management, and it‘s all up to you to find what works best, but taking meaningful notes and rewriting those notes, processing

To continue with the pedantry of the comments, it really depends on how you define the ownership. It may have been the Spanish who owned it once upon a time, however they left it on US soil. Additionally, it was Americans who found it, and

It is moral (legality is flawed, copyright is a sham, etc) that if you own a piece of media that you can own it in every digital form based on that media. I.e., buy the disk and pirate it to your Jellyfin to avoid the annoyance of ripping t

Man you dumber than I thought. You got flagged because you made a low quality comment on a website where quality is expected. This isn’t Reddit where you can post literal garbage and receive zero pushback. and this post is filled to the bri

Yes, and it’s a shame people have abandoned physical media. Who said you had to host it though? You can also simply keep them on your phone. 1GB of storage comes out to around 20 hours of 128kbps OPUS, which will sound identical to Spotify’

Crazy? Maybe, but I also know that within my anecdotal data Spotify prefers to show you popular artists and/or songs you are already familiar with, making finding new niche artists a struggle for me. And most people will stay within wh

Also much more price efficient to buy a 3090 gaming laptop. It can do everything a Macbook can, but better, and at a third of the cost. You don’t need to put all of the money you save by buying non-Apple products into GPUs, after all.

You can say that $2,000 for an M4 Pro is supposedly “not that expensive”, but for about $1,000 I can buy a gaming laptop with a 3090 and use the system RAM to help run larger models. The RAM may be slower, but the higher TFLOPS of the 3090

But it has the logo I’ve been told to buy, so regardless of the quality or specs I need to buy it, how else will I ever show my face in Zoom meetings to my SoCal colleagues?

Also I can shrink my FLACs into 256kbps OPUS and store ~9 hours of audio in 1GB. I cannot (easily) shrink my physical books into microfilm and read them. The better comparison is PDF + OCR’d text VS Kindle.

Is that $12/mo truly worth it? I mean, do you find 13+ new songs you genuinely enjoy every month? And would the alternative media be so expensive that you couldn’t build your library using that $12/mo, over a reasonable period of

Which she likely did, as from my understanding owning the inventory is standard for music stores, so due to the higher demand it’s more likely the bulk of your money would go to buying Madonna records than buying The Smiths.

This, and AM had a horrible penchant to get “stuck” on certain genres/artists, and focus primarily on what I already liked, even when moving to other genres. I did successfully find some new songs I liked, but Spotify had a much better

Laws do not define the ethics of a society though. While laws may be informed by ethics, laws are not mutually inclusive or exclusive of one’s cultural ethics. One need simply look at a country’s tax laws to understand the disparity. While

Why would I recommend anyone buy a printer that cannot be repaired? That’s just throwing money away and creating e-waste. Even a Prusa Mk4 makes more sense than the X1 when you consider repairability.

We were getting our roads redone in my town and the county commissioner ordered an asphalt miller to run on one singular road , when we needed it (and said for it to run) on all of them. It cost us the same to run it on one road or all of
