I have a VPN, so this could definitely work.

 

Do any of you have a plan in place for how to tune into the 2024 Paris Olympics? I've got a good Jellyfin ecosystem set up to watch my video files and listen to my music, but I haven't explored many ways to watch live sports content yet. What is the best way to tune in to the events at the Paris Olympics this summer? They're split across several TV channels. Smooth UX would be my priority - I'm willing to spend a little money if need be. So I was considering going for a Youtube TV free trial during the event, but is there a better method?

That's all, folks!

Given the history of the series, I find this to be pretty endearing. I have fond memories of playing the multi-disc Baldurs Gate 1 on PC as a child. It's kinda fun to see that today's gamers will have a similar experience with the same series nearly 30 years later.

Isn't this just Taco Bell?

The neutral redrawing of districts in my home state of Michigan has made a transformational difference for both local and national politics. I really hope Wisconsin can do the same.

Installing uBlock is so quick, all you need is 30 seconds of their consent to lean over their shoulder and install it. The whole process can be faster than the actual ad break, in some cases.

It's hard to buy ad-free cable TV...

It's just about my favorite activity, yeah! Though it's best when I can play it out on the piano, it's a lot like playing a rhythm game like OSU.

I am a conductor and pianist with a decent level of absolute pitch who reads sheet music to myself like this all the time, and this description captures the synesthetic experience really well!

The weirdest part in my experience is that it's easy to listen to an audiobook at the same time because the sections of the brain that process each of those things are totally separate, just how you can listen to music and study at the same time.

The Gameboy Advance startup sound never fails to activate my neurons either.

I can certify that touching grass is a good sensory feeling for me
