Oof, I really don’t want this resource to disappear

I hope they can reconcile if this is the case.

Wait, what did JB do?

Edit: read the article. Bummer.

Yeah, I’ve been listening to them since this video dropped. Love it!

Goddamnit.

I showed this to my brother once and he said “This could become something you quickly unironically enjoy”. He was right.

It has historically been a way of stealing Spotify royalties but targetting big artists is more d difficult these days. It’s also a means of hijacking an artist’s audience, if only temporarily. Sometimes also used to fraudulently get things into DMCA databases. Happens to smaller artists like Lemon Demon all the time.

Saw him live this past year and he was great!

I’m pretty sure it does

Okay but: https://buck65.bandcamp.com/track/smurf-burps

This fucking killed me, love Mr. Terfry.

Yo, Buck 65 is still releasing music? Nice.

Just got the popup on FF with Unlock Origin

Yeah, it really goes against my anecdotal experience of clueless Boomers/Gen Z and generally reasonable Gen X/Millenials. That said my colleagues are technically proficient but our salespeople are consistently falling for scams, regardless of their generation.

What a bummer. I know how good of a resource it can be for tracking down rare physical media but I haven’t really followed the seller side of the site. Another great reminder of how prone to enshittification private websites that rely on user labour are.

I stayed at a place last year that had a RokuTV, YouTube was practically unusable on it due to the absurd number of ads that would play. Even more infuriating was that they were often the same ad, repeated.

While I admire your optimism I think that AI will snuff out journalists/writers/artists regardless of the merit of their work. While that is possibly beneficial when looking for some factual data I think we will face a crisis when it comes to creative, investigative and critical content. Like garden hose of original work spraying against a tsunami of undisclosed generative media.

I think you make some valid points about server and network ownership but I think the mid to late 2000s had an interesting blend of corporate and personal internet spaces. Yes there were some leviathans MySpace and Facebook, but a lot of the places that had relevancy were forums, portals or imageboards. Hell, YTMND was an early example of a individual hosting and building a massive site out of complete nonsense. That landscape has certainly changed significantly since.

Even a lot of CG professional users are locked into NVIDIA due to software using CUDA. It sucks.

Yanko design is a name I haven’t seen in quite some time. Some of the dumbest, impractical, and downright impossible concepts have been featured on this blog.

Two memorable examples were the “magnetic” exercise weight set that would have to violate physics in order to function and a refrigerator made of green goo that would somehow preserve food.

Oh and “hubless wheels” anything that rolls needs hubless wheels.
