- Comment on ‘Death to Spotify’: the DIY movement to get artists and fans to quit the music app 3 days ago:
I buy individual songs on iTunes, I can back them up without DRM to my NAS.
I dislike the entire concept of renting my music.
Since I started using an iPhone back in 2016, I have bought 781 songs, songs that I don’t have to pay to access.

- Comment on Block chain to stop AI scams. 1 week ago:
Anything that relies on external factors for flagging AI images is doomed to fail.
There will quickly be tools created to strip the metadata from the image, or to create AI pictures but skipping adding the blockchain stuff

IT guy here, the problem here is not the slacking-off, but the fact that security was deactivated

When the King of NATO pays attention to you, you speak softly, especially when the King of NATO has a massive fragile ego.
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 2 weeks ago:
I buy my music from iTunes, I also buy my audiobooks from Apple Books.
I do not rent my music library.
If I go into deep depression I don’t want to have to worry about having to keep paying to access my music, same with my audiobooks.

- Comment on Big Tech Dreams of Putting Data Centers in Space 2 weeks ago:
That is dumb, space is extremely expensive to get to, power is fairly limited, cooling is a nightmare, and micro meteorite impacts can not only dammage the data center, but possibly initiate Kessler syndrome.
Now a few years ago I read an old article about Microsoft experimenting with submerged data centers which is a way better idea, it is relatively cheap to get to, power is easy to deal with, cooling is trivial, and you don’t need to worry about micro meteorites or Kessler syndrome.

It’s a rickroll…
Takes a few min to get to it though, meh story, 2/5 I guess
- Comment on Mars First Logistics, an open world Mars colonization game where you can develop and control vehicles (rovers, flying vehicles) to make money completing construction projects, released on Steam. 2 weeks ago:
Just had a look, and while I don’t have any issues with my eyes and the style, I really hate the style.
I am sorry, but I need some shadows or some texture, not just flat planes of matt colours…

Ok, so every slice gets a part of the mediteranean kitchen?
Should be fine with most of the northern slices, include Italy, Spain or Greece and I am happy

Yes, you can, you have a user profile in Thunderbird, that is where your emails are stored locally.
You should first look up downloading your emails locally, this depends on the connection to the mail server.
If you are running POP3, it normally downloads your emails directly to your computer automatically, if you are using IMAP, then it normally doesn’t.
Thunderbird is a popular email client, there are plenty of guides…

IT guy here.
You can save individual emails as .msg or .eml files, way easier to work with if you only have a few emails to export.

The larger bottles are bottles I got from work a few years ago, they probably suck, I may just get a Plantation Planetray gift box with small bottles of rum and use those instead…
It would look cool to have the bottles prepared in the giftbox with ribbons tied to them…
Yeah, I’ll change over to that, and post a pic when I get the chance

- Comment on 'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed' 4 weeks ago:
The TIny Tina game?
I tried it, didn’t like it and uninstalled it.
I am not saying it is a bad game, just that at the time it wasn’t game I liked.

B1 is a bit slow, but quite fun, B2 is brilliant, BTPS is similar to B2, but the crafting stuff is annoying, B3 was too chaotic with a too cluttred UI and a damn annoying story, B4, I have no idea

- Comment on Comcast Executives Warn Workers To Not Say The Wrong Thing About Charlie Kirk | 404 Media 4 weeks ago:
I mean, it is fair for the company leadership to decide on what is said through their channels.
I don’t really see any issues with them limiting what can be said when representing their company.
However, any coworker should be able to post, comment and like what they want on their own personal social media pages without it affecting their employment.
I remember various attempts by employers to force employees to represent the brand and company at all times, that is just idiotic.
I will only accept that my employer will have me say “no comment” when asked about company opinions or details in my free time.
- Comment on There's no "spyware" in Borderlands 4, Take-Two insist, following upset over terms of service 4 weeks ago:
I loved B2, and have come to really like B1, BTPS is ok, perhaps a bit too annoying, B3 is just too much, the story is too crude, the UI and maps are too cluttered, and the gaming experience was way too chaotic.
