Someone literally just showed me the Facundo Cabral version, I’m partial to it due to the added lyrics at the beginning. Fantastic song regardless, it’s incredible that it was written on a dime while drunk. Do share if you have more trovador stuff. I’m ironically super alienated from music in spanish, despite it being my first language.

The Drones - Why Write a Letter That You’ll Never Send is the only thing that has actually strongly emotionally resonated with me (cw: suicide). Also, I guess, the entirety of Doopee Time, but for different less obvious reasons.

oh right right i forgot about that lol

private/self-hosted smtp servers i imagine. it just doesn’t strike me that these email services that offer free inboxes would be any good for privacy concerns (proton mail, tutanota, whatever). but they’re good to sign up for shit i suppose.

it’s always been baffling to me how gamers cried when roger ebert said video games weren’t art but violently react when video games are elevated on an emotional and/or aesthetic level

these takes are weird, Somerton was being cited as an authority on queer topics outside of the youboob sphere, which makes his takedown a bit more bigger than a beef between online types. dude was not only a plagiarist, he was also a known falsifier. it’s just plain old academic dishonesty, the sort of thing that would make the news if this had happened on an actual campus. we’re now in an era where bonafide pundits are taking fucking video essays at face value, B-list celebs like Neil Gaiman find out Hbomb uploaded a new video hours after it gets posted. Somerton’s channel was going to be his platform towards building a movie studio ffs. we’re in a new world where youtube is mainstream and things that happen there are now felt in meatspace.

I stopped caring for him when he refused to review Hey QT and called it “chipmunk music” only to walk back his opinions completely a few years later when he noticed PC Music had gained a noticeable cult following. He even overcorrected and started giving inflated scores to complete mid shit that sounded faintly of hyperpop. Anyone is entitled to their shit opinions, but Fantano has always striked me as dishonest on top of it.

Fantano gave my AOTY a 1/10 and it made me feel like a contrarian again, man it feels so good.

*1960s voice* i hate my wife

lmaoooo

he’s jewish

i bought the thing because the cans look kinda cool tbh, not even the tea shit, the sparkling water which is virtually indistinguishable from any other sparkling water brand except 3x more expensive. it’s rare that i come across liquid death on the shelves anyway so it’s not like something i’m going to keep buying. it’s just a novelty item mostly.

maybe not in the states, that official banking app supports android versions all the way back to Android 6.0, the last android version supported by the OP5T is 10, so on that regard it was fine at least. you’d be surprised at how far back you can go compatibility-wise without breaking stuff with android’s first party compat libraries.

god if he was using a 3rd party app I would have fucking showed up at his doorstep at 12am and force him to update all his credentials.

my dad also does this, and ngl it freaked me out a little bit when he decided to stick a banking app on an old oneplus 5T that didn’t even get security updates anymore, what’s worse he strongly refused the idea of me gifting him a newer phone, even a cheap-ish one. like i can afford it, god it’s no big deal.

insofar as jesus was crucified in order to deliver humanity from sin, god gave up his own son, which is reflected in the ritual of the eucharist: jesus’ blood and flesh gives sustenance to his church. i think it’s a cool ritual personally, i’m not sure if other religions have the sacrifice of its own prophet as a foundational belief.

technology never seizes to amaze me

yeah they noticed there wasn’t a significant difference between zoomers and millenials, which why would it exist, they’re on average a decade apart, it really isn’t a huge unsurmountable gap. spongebob has been on the air for far longer than this, so we mostly consumed the same cultural artifacts during our formative years. i’m not as cynic as to say it is completely useless, but the gaps between generations are arbitrarily short and thus they become meaningless

I think (white) boomers did have a significantly different experience compared to every other generation irt to access to material wealth, but I believe this is strictly US phenomena lol (Mexico doesn’t have this overwhelming conservative slant among old people, at least not in electoral terms). Then again, it is significant enough as to not be a completely useless I suppose.

It’s just so irresistible, like a giant zit you just wanna pop it

I haven’t been able to extract a single useful piece of code from ChatGPT unless I also carefully point ChatGPT to the correct answer, at which point you’re kinda just doing the work yourself by proxy. Also lol at the guy voluntarily uploading what quite possibly is proprietary code. The other part about analyzing memes shouldn’t even need addressing, if ChatGPT’s training dataset is formed by online posts, then it’s going to fucking excel at it.
