Bob Dylan Explains Why Music Has Been Getting Worse
One often hears that there's no money to be made in music anymore. But then, there was no money to be made in music when Bob Dylan started his career either—at least according to Bob Dylan.Colin Marshall (Openculture.com)
Was reading a bit about Zane Grey, the author of popular Westerns, and discovered he had an estate in Altadena, not far from you. It burned in the January fires. Figured I'd pass this along in case it might interest you as a bike outing destination.
Hey, my eyes are down here!
The name's Nomax, and I'll happily join your journey to… a hamburger…?
Oh, #EF29 in Hamburg you say.
Either way, I'll gladly tell you a bit about myself and my crafts.

This is an extremely good article of all the ways Trump is bringing authoritarianism to the United States of America. With multiple experts drawing multiple parallels to past fascist regimes and also, how it is different this time, particularly with information warfare.
Wake up America.
For the love of god.

"But most days, working on policy at Facebook was way less like enacting a chapter from Machiavelli and way more like watching a bunch of four-teen-year-olds who’ve been given superpowers and an ungodly amount of money, as they jet around the world to figure out what power has bought and brought them."

What a great surprise! Just got some community perks from the #BSDCafe from Italy!
Those coasters will definitely stay in the living room for guests but one will be taken to the office for my coffee! The stickers probably won't last long - the next #BSDNL conference is already around the corner!
Thanks to the great community at BSD.cafe and @stefano!

@thelinuxEXP Was listening to the weekly news podcast, and enjoyed it as usual, but you might want to look at Kagi's CEO and his attitude to many things. Including utter disrespect to things like GDPR compliance. This is a good place to start: d-shoot.net/kagi.html
Not saying that it's horrible that they might publish a browser for linux, but that the company culture doesn't really match its advertising. I personally stopped my trial with Kagi because of the link above.

Should clarify, that's $6K, not just $6 like the title there suggests.
Back in MY day I was shocked to see $100 sneakers.. .
I guess I understand people paying lots of money for collectable things, but sneakers are just going to wear out through normal use (good sneakers can be worn for years, but they're NOT going to look mint condition for long) and I don't see any potential for resale value.
I'm a big fan of the Sony NW-A45 (there are other models with the same form factor)
It fits right into the gap between smartphones and old school mp3 players imo.
It's new enough to have a touchscreen and bluetooth support but old enough to have an SD card slot, physical playback controls, a headphone jack and not run Android.
It also can handle bigger music libraries, something 5th gen iPods struggle with.
The only thing I dislike about it is the proprietary dock connector.
Destroy independent universities?
Destroy independent media?

in reply to Frankie ✅ • • •The image depicts a fantasy scene with a central figure, a woman with white hair, standing on a rocky outcrop. She is dressed in a black and silver outfit with a purple cape, holding a staff with a twisted design and purple gemstones. Her posture is confident, with her arms crossed. To her left, a large, orange dragon with sharp teeth and horns is visible, partially emerging from the rocks. On the ground, there are four white candles and a bitten red apple. To the right, a translucent, white, horned figure is seen, possibly a spirit or demon. The background features a blue sky with clouds and a rocky landscape, adding to the mystical atmosphere.
