I got an AK DAP that holds all my lossless cd rips and older lossless downloads. But, like you, I mainly use my iPhone, likely close to what you said: 90-10 split. Apple Music is now lossless for no extra fee. I still think it’s nice having the DAP as a standalone device.

Me too, but it’s very hard. So much stuff is becoming hard to do without the smartphone. I’m torn. But yeah, it would be cool to just have a dumb phone, mp3 player, and camera.

I felt the same. Felt like a different show. Dropped it after 2-3 episodes. It’s OK for things to end. I don’t know why they always try to milk series until they are just no good anymore. This idea that they need years and years of seasons just because some fans are asking for it is the wrong way to go about creating good original content.

True, true.

To add to the list: internment of Hungarian and Ukrainian Canadians in WWI in Canada (some other Eastern Europeans too); internment of Japanese Canadians in WWII in Canada.

I posted about it last week too. It sucks. I’d cancel it too, but I got my whole family on there. Leeches!

thelazywriter, 7 months ago

I would do it in a second if I didn’t have 6 leeches. This is my life now I guess lol

It’s gonna be a mix of Lightning and USB-C for a while. Don’t throw out those cables just yet!

Whoa those are not cheap! Guess I’ll keep dragging on with my Intel Mac a while longer. le sigh

You have to add Android now! I’d go with something like “cool, time for a new phone!”

Blue, negative. Red, positive. Green, Apple-compatible.

Also Google: “Oh! And P.S.: can we also have your lunch money? It’s for your own security, you see. You may starve, but you’re doing it securely. You’re welcome!”

Learned a new term today: “sober curious.” I quit drinking 5 years ago, and never looked back. I wouldn’t mind some more variety for non-alcoholic drinks, especially those without sugar. Can’t have pop too often because it’s just sugar. Kombucha reminds me of beer so I avoid it. Fruit juices are full of sugar too. So it’s usually down to tea, coffee or water for me.

thelazywriter, 7 months ago

lol totally

thelazywriter, 7 months ago

Yeah, the term is strange for sure! First time I see it.

Once you try avoiding sugar, your choices are pretty limited. I drank some pop when I was just starting to quit, but I knew it was just a temporary solution. On the bright side, you save money by drinking water most of the time. If we go out I’ll sometimes order those fake cocktails, but they are so expensive.

I drank a ton of those 0 sugar flavored carbonated water when I was quitting, but I stopped after a while. Felt bad creating so much recycling. But yeah, I like them! I’ll take one when people offer or when I do feel like something other than water. I just no longer buy them on a regular basis. My home made alternative is squeezing half a lemon in a glass of water or club soda (and I’d buy the 2L bottles).

That’s a great idea!

The comments here are clear. Mullvad is the champion. Mullvad, what is best in life? “To evade your enemies’ servers, see their tracking wilt before you, and to hear the lamentation of the blocked ads.”

The way I was doing it is to disable the setting that automatically ads songs to your library. That way I added songs I like to playlists and only added full albums to the library. But now they just made a change that replaces the “love” button with a “favorite” button which will add that song to your library automatically. Basically it’s gonna be a pain in the ass to manage albums in Apple Music in any meaningful way. I hope they fix this somehow.

thelazywriter, 7 months ago

Oh nice I had no idea you could do that. Would be nice if that worked on iOS.

thelazywriter, 7 months ago

Yeah, that’s how it goes with Apple. I’m gonna install Foobar2000 and have my favourite albums in there, and let the new Apple Music be the messy collection of one-offs and new songs I discover.

Like someone else already mentioned, there are plugins that allow you to do this on a Mac. However… I found them to be overpriced and wasn’t even sure where in the world they get printed. I ended up finding a photo print business that I know is local and had decent prices and features on their site and I just use that.

I’d love to try the Journal app, but I have a lot of data in a different journal app. Unless they offer a way to import, I’m likely sticking to my current one (Day One).
