I finally looked up this guy after seeing his leftist griftosphere reply guy antics on Twitter before Musk burned that site to the ground and it turns out he has a design company in New York. I checked out the website and boy, it does not look like he's designed anything since the late 90s. No wonder he spends all his time posting gotchas on social media.

As a dual Australian and Canadian citizen, good. Fuck Gina Rinehart and fuck Danielle Smith.

Her cousin is Ben Shapiro, which is kind of wild. God he sucks.

It's been a long time since OnePlus could claim to be a budget brand. That ship sailed a long time ago.

"...while vowing economic opportunity as a path to reconciliation."

I'm guessing this means making deals with first nations groups to grant corporations the right to strip mine natural resources without federal oversight while paying relatively tiny subsidies to indigenous owners.

The Guys podcast has a pretty fun episode about this.

Oh, that's cool then. I'll have to go back and take a look as I hardly use the app.

I guess if the new company fucks it up (which lets face it, is a given) at least you get to keep the music you've already bought which is more than you can say for Spotify.

I like what Bandcamp does, but I don't necessarily want to have to download every song/album I buy off there and store it on my phone, or open the app and manually select a song or album one at a time to listen to.

I wish there was a way to build playlists, or even a full featured streaming service similar to what Spotify offers that would pay artists a respectable cut for streaming but not necessarily purchasing albums.

It would be nice to have that option but I suppose there's probably arguments against it, I'm not really that familiar with all the pros and cons from the artists' perspective. Even just a song radio type option like Spotify has would be great, because I do find a fair bit of new music that way.

Also, in case people aren't aware, Spotify was sold to Epic games a few years ago, and they sold it on to a music licensing company who then laid off 16% of Bandcamp's employees. So I'm not sure how much longer it's going to be a good place for indie musicians.I guess we'll see though.

There's been some discussion over the years that Tesla never seriously tried to make the battery swap work, that they did it to claim subsidies from California which they subsequently never returned to the taxpayers.

Oh, yeah I think you're right. I think I might've changed it at some point.

Just checked and it's under system > gestures > press and hold power button
