I switched over to Floorp a month or so ago - it’s pretty good. My only gripes are:
- The tabs are really hard to distinguish between the active tab and the inactive tabs
- If you have session stuff in the sidebar, it seems to “forget” about it and I constantly have to sign into stuff.

The other day I set up a shell script on my phone that I can hook into with Tasker. I share a YouTube link to it and I can rip the audio to my music folder, or the video to my videos folder. Basically, I can turn YouTube videos into podcasts on the fly.

I love that Joplin covers all grounds - all the way down to a terminal-based version. I’ve been thinking about switching over to it from Vimwiki

I remember fucking around with Compiz back when it was still called Beryl. It was I think just before Window Vista came out? My computer was too shit for Vista, but had no problem with Beryl - wobbly windows, app previews when you hover the taskbar icon, stackable windows, desktop cube, etc.

- Comment on Is there a good way to import/export/migrate playlists between platforms? 1 day ago:
A few years ago I used the Spotipy Python library to poke at Spotify’s API. I was able to scrape my playlists into CSVs with it.
If I cared more, I could probably hit up YouTube with those CSVs and try to make playlists on there out of them, but I never got that far lol
- Comment on Do you use your blinker in a car? 4 days ago:
Yes, and I really wish cops would aggressive ticket every motherfucker who doesn’t. ESPECIALLY the fucking morons who switch lanes without them, but when they’re in the turning lane with literal no other option, THEN they fucking find their blinker.
Like hello fuckwit, I’m not a damn psychic, but thank you so fucking much for using that blinker in the least important place of everywhere your dumb ass drove.
There is 0 scenario where a blinker should be used that I won’t use it, and fuck anybody who doesn’t use theirs. If you can’t handle the simple act of flicking a stick with your finger, you sure as fuck shouldn’t be able to operate a land torpedo.

This is very well put. Sometimes it can be fun to hang out with the current gen teenagers just to make fun of eachother and laugh at the differences in our generations, but also to gain some respect for eachother too. But why would any adult want to date somebody whose biggest life issues are high school grades and part time jobs? They’re not even old enough to vote or be concerned about living costs or adult problems. This isn’t saying that their current problems aren’t big deals - in the scope of things, they are completely valid and big concerns - but when you enter adulthood, you have bigger things to worry about.

How does the 16 year of have any cred anymore? I couldn’t imagine my reaction as a teen if somebody I knew said they were fucking (or even dating) somebody that old.

Sweet fuck I’ve been over in the Canada boards for too long. You have no idea how much “No Frills EV” just hurt my brain lmao. Worst part is, my brain out the capitals there.

I was so confused by your first one until I clicked the link and realized you meant “OpenStreetView” instead of “GoogleStreetView” 🤣

…huh? They want to cut down on litter by removing the convenient locations for people to dispose their would-be litter?
Fuck there are some incredibly fucking stupid people in charge of the USA right now.

Nah, the real problem is people willing installing rootkits on their computer because anticheat is somehow very important…

I was forced to downgrade my computer from 10 to 11 and it’s absolutely garbage. It’s a literal downgrade in almost every way.
