Spotify ramps up policy enforcement on family plans

Reply in thread

I use the slsk interface. It’s fine popping a few songs at once.

I generally hate Ai but I used it to tidy the old lists I had and present in the organisation level I wanted (albums etc) I then found a script, that when ran finds and DLs those playlists. It gets it about 95% right.

For navidrome it’s not great with the info pulled from music beats etc. I was trying to do it manual then I found a tool that lets me match an album to the music. It’s created for missing data/covers.

Final James Bond Screen Tests Set: Who's On the List?

Reply in thread

Completely agree. Only Lowden has the charm and the sophisticated looks and boyish charm of the pick. The other two are great actors, and you have described their vibes better than I could. I also think they just don’t have the all round looks of bond.

I will say I didn’t like Daniel Craig as the choice when it came out, however he turned out to be the best bond IMO, so bond can bring a surprise.

How much do you have your kids read?

Do you read? I like reading, my children saw that and have periods when they do. One never does.

There’s no blanket answer or a guaranteed outcome based on making them read. It helps, in life but there’s reading for information and work etc, then there’s reading for pleasure. I am not sure it can be ‘installed’ as such.

Wifeguy curse strikes again: Has-been youtuber Ethan Klein cheats on his wife, gets kicked off own podcast

Reply in thread

I think the term has-been is totally appropriate, I would go as far as to say he was also a nobody?

You state that he was successful at something and dwindled. And in terms of success, If these people were somehow a peak of humanity…that’s a dire outlook.

They are just mortals who got too much screen time. Don’t see why they are worshipped TBH.

Is there / could there be a federated ebay?

I have seen the fhlomarkets in the past, I’d love for them to take off but uptake is slow and usually it’s odd items at ridiculous prices.

I know there was a post on lemmy/piefed from a Melbourne based guy who added a site he was working on a few months ago. Not sure how it went but he was open to talking about how he set up and what he was hoping from it.

Lavazza Espresso

I usually won’t touch anything from a supermarket or bulk store. My machine just does not perform well with them.

However I find in some places ALDI do a decent budget bean. You have to check the dates but the quality of bean, the small range (usually just three roasts, or the occasional special roast) and fast turn around of product is a real good value offering.

How is this not the standard view?

It’s amazing how much you can get by with very little and TBh how nice it actually is. Add in a few renewables to a home and a few other sustainable measures and it can be incredibly peaceful.

Same with repairing items. I recently replaced my vacuum motor. I was pretty pleased with myself.

The amount of people I know who are buy stuff after stuff just to feel something…anything; is crazy. As proud as I feel about my steps there are so many wasteful and handful people around me. It can feel frustrating.
