@buru5 🤣😂🤣 that's the other way doing it. Yeah, it's not always worth it.

Yet ANOTHER reason not to use Spotify. (How many do you need?)

Demonetization of lesser performing songs so they don't have to pay artists the already miniscule amount they barely do? Check.

@pixelfed love it! Here's what my profile & a post I just did look like on my S21 in dark mode. 🔥

Today of course marks the 30th anniversary of nine inch nails' legendary record The Downward Spiral. This masterpiece of an album was released March 8, 1994, and was a pretty intense thing for 14 year old me to hear.

This photo is from Instagram - Trent just posted it, saying what 28 year old him had to say still excites him but breaks his heart. It's a dark album, man. All the pigs are still lined up.

Here it is, in all its glory: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLL1ZJvW8jPWdzeDhA516qxjWVrfVPxRie&si=9FU_s5DF6kn6YcBV

Yeah, you're really gonna see which companies are just gonna allow the AI to scrape all their stuff now. I'm a copyleft/creative commons kinda guy. But if you have art that you don't want stolen, the answer is simple.

MAKE YOUR OWN WEBSITE and put your art there (edit: and use that Glaze type of stuff on your art that wrecks AI, just to be sure)! Neocities is SO easy to set up! Or your own domain and hosting via porkbun, GoDaddy (non-WordPress) - anything at all other than proprietary/walled stuff!

@cory @killyourfm oh rad. Taylor is so missed. What a guy. Love Dave's new hand tat heheh. Was wondering/hoping he'd keep going. Taylor probably would've wanted it. Saw a video of the memorial show, it was so great

@killyourfm Foo are great! Saw them twice in the 90s haha. What a band. Great price for them though, under $200? That's a steal for today haha. Messed up 🤣

@killyourfm yeah, this is nuts. It's everywhere now. My sister paid for our Aerosmith tickets many years ago so I'd drive, they were $75 and that felt like a lot in the 2000s. We saw Britney's last Vegas show in 2017 and it was $150 each. Decent seats. It's getting bad

@youronlyone absolutely! It's so much fun. I love that Kong knows sign language hahaha

Watching Godzilla vs. Kong one last time before it leaves Netflix on December 31. Not that I don't have it in other formats 😂 but why not. I dig Godzilla stuff across the board. I guess some people hate on the USA ones, but Kong is always my main draw in these. And this one has some GREAT Kong stuff in it.

Designers now always make things for regular and dark themes but unbelievably fail to include Hotdog Stand

Firefox FEELS like it's loading pages slower but that's only because of all the digital garbage that's on every website now that Firefox has to block and deal with every time you load a page. Garbage that Chrome wouldn't do a damn thing about.

So here we are.

It's 2023, and websites load way slower just because of all the junk on them we need to block.

This week I'm gonna do the #ThursdayFiveList thing that @neurothing does - this week's theme is THE VOID. Easy enough - got some 🔥 rock and metal for ya!

Here's my five, with YouTube links:

Meat Puppets - "The Void"

It's not #Caturday anymore but it's okay, because I just captured this accurate photo of feline life at my home today, on a Sunday.

@pfefferle I dig @stefan's https://jointhefediverse.net as an intro to it all- have you seen it? I feel like it explains the whole thing pretty well, and simply? Maybe ideal for a first time user? Would be curious to see how someone unfamiliar with the fediverse would react to it.
