  • there’s this really cool alternative to streaming, called you buy their shit directly.

    Wow, mind blown! I had no idea money could be used to buy things directly! /s

    Seriously though, buying music from artists you already know is easy for artists that actually provide this as an option, but it doesn’t help when trying to find new artists and songs to listen to. Spotify is brilliant for discovering new content and can’t be replaced by ‘buying shit directly’.


  • Spotify.

    An open source music streaming service where I can financially support artists but where I’m not forced to put up with annoying advertisements (even when paying membership fees!), and which allows me to use whatever app I want to play the music I listen to. It is annoying AF that I need to switch between apps to listen to music because Spotify’s shitty native app is inferior in every possible way with the single exception of offering more content.


  • I think it’s likely that the type of content children are exposed to matters more than the medium. Children who are exposed early to digital technology will have an advantage in adapting to our increasingly digital society over those who are prevented from accessing digital media until they are much older.

    GCompris is an educational program; it’s not equivalent to watching Spongebob (no offence to Spongebob).


    1. Press the Super/Windows button
    2. Type the letter ‘n’ (or ‘t’ if on most Linux distros)
    3. Press the ‘Return’ key.

    Congratulations, you now opened Notepad / Random open source text editor.

    1. Ctrl + S = Save for pretty much everything

    The above pattern works for almost every program. There is no need to memorise the ridiculously inconsistent nuances of the 4 different commands you specified.

    9/10 times I personally prefer GUI over terminal for efficiency. With three buttons I already have a text editor open. At this point, you’ve just started typing the letter ‘v’ in your first step.
