I’m not downvoting you for posting it, but damn that’s some basic shit. The production is almost nonexistent, every third word is n***a, and he’s clearly playing at being a lot harder than he is. He’s not exactly an amazing lyricist, and he takes himself waaaay too seriously for someone who’s just not that good.
That’s not to say I think everything should be cerebral, I like asshole music as much as the next dickhead, but I would prefer it if it has some humour and cleverness in it, even if it’s being a smartarse like R.A, Dirty Dike or Dabbla.
Just my personal opinion, and I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t really like much thug/gangsta rap, all that guns’n’bitches shit feels fake, but that said, there’s a lot of it that I appreciate more than this muppet. I feel like every time I’ve heard a bar about simple rappers rhyming suffixes and claiming to be harder than they are, this is the guy they were talking about.
I have a feeling I know the answer, but thought it worth an ask, so here goes - I’ve not used FB in years, and generally try to keep fairly private online (Mullvad, librefox, etc) but I’ve found I’m missing out by not being able to use FB marketplace. If I set up a fresh account, and don’t use the social side of it at...
I figure that if I can keep it pretty isolated, they’ll only get “scrolls marketplace in SE uk” out of it - I’m never going to look at the feed or have “friends”.
I have a VPN router, and will either use Mullvad browser with no other tabs open (and obviously all cookies freshly cleared etc) or maybe a vanilla FF on a VM. With all my details being nonsense, a unique relayed email, and the browser essentially completely resetting after every use, I doubt they can find out much useful about me
I’ve been fairly parsimonious with my information for a fair while - I don’t use my real name online except when unavoidable for payment etc, don’t put photos of me anywhere, use social media (other than Lemmy, and I’m not very social on here really!) and I think I have fairly good habits to keep information and habits separated. I alternate between using FF, Librewolf and Mullvad browser for different things, don’t reuse usernames/id’s, use a VPN router at home and have VPNs on my mobile devices, email masks and relays, and where possible pay with virtual cards etc. I think my most unique identifier, last time I checked with the EFF site, was the size and resolution of my screens. I’m not really sure how much data there is to collect about me past the mundane, as I don’t really associate with anyone in the real world online, and almost exclusively use signal in the real world.
This week mine was homemade soda. Fermented sodas, citric acid + bicarbonate sodas, different juices and flavors like lime + lemon + cherry and pomegranate or mango peach or cola (homemade knock off)
Photography has got me pretty good. Specifically old interesting concrete, graffiti, decaying structures, that kind of thing. Been at it for a good while too, this is one I can hopefully string out to just become a long-term hobby!
Ha, that rabbit hole yawned right in front of me almost immediately! I’ve ended up with a few, but I’ve sort of stuck on a couple - the Helios 44-6, and a Helios 28mm that turns out to be a Tomioka in disguise (and about 1/5th the price!), and a Nikkor 50mm 1.2, and Nikkor 300mm. The 300mm especially is phenomenal, easily the nicest manual focus I’ve ever encountered, it’s a joy to use and takes absolutely awesome pics. There are a couple still itching at the edges of the irrational-craving container, but I think I’ve managed to rein the gear acquisition in, in general, and am trying to focus on composition, and learning FOSS editing tools like Darkroom.
Microplastic a found in FUCKING CLOUDS!! That nonsense is absolutely everywhere, and will be there forever. And wherever you go, it’s going to follow you. Rubbish
It just never really occurs to me. Even if I already have the camera in my hand, the things that strikes me as needing to be shot are shadows, textures, bits of old concrete and machinery. It’s not that I actively choose not to, just that people are almost always less interesting than moss on a bit of old concrete
Doctors in England have been told not to prescribe ADHD drugs to new patients because of a national shortage, as charities warn that the supply problems are devastating for people living with the condition....
Absolutely fucking brilliant. Not only is the waiting list for diagnosis four bloody years long, you won’t get any treatment at the other end of it. Just shoot me, dangling the carrot of help with no ability to provide it is worse than not offering it at all
The Best of World SF anthologies 1 & 2, edited by Lavie Tidhar have stories from all around the world, often translated into English. Some of those are fantastic, and often have a really different “flavour” to a lot of western sci fi
To be honest, I’m taking it as a sign of it developing genuine artificial intelligence. It examined its situation and surroundings, and made the only logical choice
The “block community” feature is pretty useful, but there are so, so many communities for the American hand-egg teams that blocking them individually is pretty tiring. Is there just an easy way to block the whole instance? It would also be pretty good for a few other instances I can think of....
Yeah, I blocked that one, and it had a great effect. That’s what got me thinking of this. The damned hand-egg instance has a separate bot for each team’s community though, so that truck doesn’t work with them
Perfect, thanks. Is there a way to see your list of blocked communities? That’s not included in the filters section, and it would make this a lot quicker to see from which instances most of my blocked communities come.
Having tried to build a blocklist repeatedly, I’m suffering from this problem too. Standard app-store Memmy. Put it in the blocklist, restart the app, everything works as it should. Next time I open the app, blocklist it empty again
Not sure how to word this… But who should I be following in terms of battery/energy storage research and development companies? I’m less interested in start ups and more interested in bigger companies who are investing heavily in R&D
Look at the “Just Have A Think” channel on YouTube. He examines all the new battery techs, and revisits them periodically to see how they’re being developed etc
Get a lamb tagine recipe down, and work out all the trimmings, it’s pretty easy, and it makes a proper spread with pretty minimal effort. The tagine is the only real cooking, and it’s pretty relaxed. Then do a decent couscous (or CPU’s void as autocorrect would have it), with lots of stock, butter, and zatar, get some decent flat breads, and then bung out a whole load of mezze bits like humous/olives/stuffed bell peppers etc. It looks like loads of effort, but it’s actually cruisy, and it tastes fantastic
Not sure if this type of post is allowed due to the legal implications, but wondering if anyone has had any experience with this or has resources to find out more. Someone mentioned on Imgur that they had success but they didn’t respond with any additional info. I tried searching online but a lot of what I found is from the...
I’ve tried to try it, but I really struggle to keep anything like that up over time. It didn’t instantly improve my memory or ability to have any kind of routine whatsoever, so I forget, along with all the other things that would supposedly help. Anecdotally, one of my friends who’s had a head full of bees for about 50 years has started using a non-psylocybin mixture of mushrooms called Seven Shrooms, and he said it’s very much called his head. Like antidepressants, he feels that the lows are gone but so are the absolute highs, which isn’t a bad thing, as they could be quite manic. It’s a fairly pricy mixture, and you need to make it into a smoothy or something. There’s also a couple of my mates who swear by the Stamets Stack (link below), which is like microdosing with added things. This one I might try - though it has a kind of “weeks on, week off” schedule that I’ll probably fuck up.
I’m currently reading the Wool omnibus by Hugh Howey. It’s pretty decent I’ve been making very rapid progress as it’s been too hot to sleep here recently now the summer has arrived....
I’m reading The Best Of World SF Vol 2 compilation, edited by Lavie Tidhar. There are some phenomenal short stories in this and the first one, and I really enjoy hearing voices from outside the English-speaking bubble that I usually read
