Plexamp does a pretty good job with the “Show similar tracks” feature.

Some people are face blind, but I am name blind or something. I will almost always remember the face, usually even where I know them from… but the names almost always evade me.

Sounds similar to how I might describe a pawpaw fruit (Asimina triloba.)

LMDE is life

you should do things [their way] and if you don’t go all in on that then you get chastised.

As is tradition.

Sure it is now, but it was not always. Gentoo didnt just spring forth from the aether full-grown.

pre-alpha

The period of pre-0.1 that I reference above, ended in 2002 with the release of 0.1 Alpha. This is back when the idea of adding a binary installer was controversial in the gentoo community. That was 24 years ago, in case you are following along. So going on about the current state of Gentoo is not super relevant. I am glad it is better, but I am old enough to remember when it was a pretty gnarly ball of yarn and that is what I mentioned.

I want the shiny new feature, but I also dont want my entire plugin stack to break. The eternal conundrum of Calibre. (Also, of course, tends to be true of software more generally.)

This reminds me of something I might have said of pre-alpha Gentoo days.

Where do you think we are right now?

Same same. My whole day will still be lost, but at least I will be less anxious about how it did go, instead of waiting around and thinking how bad it might go.

Pricing systems, not tariffs or inflation, are fast becoming the real cost of living.

lol. This article is poorly written and transparent ragebait, without even the most basic grounding in economics.

edit: which is not to say the opinion is wrong, per se, but it is not grounded in a firm understanding of the topics the author wants to discuss.

CS 6 still works just fine

You can imagine where it goes from here.

lol. Okay, but since you want to be pedantic, most are talking about both, but sure.

edit: btw, the above is such an old interplay, it pre-dates the quote (from c. 1999.) I was literally bored with this 25 years ago.

Something the community is always loathe to admit:

Linux is only “free” if your time is worth nothing.

the drugs kicked in

Sometimes constraints can be paradoxically freeing, especially in the context of creative endeavors. Perhaps you might relax a bit because it is in the corner and thus perhaps less important. Or some such.
