BISHOP NEHM MICH UNTER
we off the drink we off the emo shit
esskeetit
peep the inspo track sat the bottom or we cant be ffriends
sold my soul to the devil
so that i could feel valued
remember bein in a empty
home with a vacuum
former straight-edge
off the drink, off the valium
wanna go back to our
mornings with the cartoons
made my heart a whale
then you hit it with a harpoon
bleedin on the beach, staring
up at the full moon
sometimes life rains
down in a monsoon
i'd be glad to drown if
it means i can love you
.
but i cant even hug you
can't even text you.
antidepressooos
bishop 5'6" but he tryna
be big news.
.
tryna get big so you
cannot forget me
honey your love is a
xanny it's deadly
how'm i supposed to
forget about kelly
or bout all of those nights
that you called me, unsteady
wish i loved you correctly
shit got unsteady
i was just tryna get
us a few pennies
put you in a bentley
put you in the fendi
wasn't rich enough so
you got all offended
on the offensive
antidepressents
fuck that bullshit
it just makes me sedated
.
dont wanna feel shit
if i cant feel you
prayin that you'll text me
"let me heal you"
you got 50 shades of grey
i can see through
but somehow still
made me believe you
ignroed all the red flags
so i could keep you
mistook for an angel
whenever i'd see you
but now you a model
you said "i don need you"
looking for a camera
you can show your tits to
then the devil approached me.
said "i can guarantee you."
.
so i went to the sea
heard a voice, "take a knee"
so i nodded, agreed
and he said "you will serve me -
Boy listen closely
each one of your dreams
surrender control to
you want the money,
someone to devote to,
4-k square foot house
to go home to.
this, i can construe
if you submit to
living your life, all despite
where you'll go to.
i now control you
your soul - i have claim to
but think of all the things
that my hands can bring you.
so i bowed on my knees -
now this man, i submit to.
.
ave satani
i give you my body
my soul, it was drawn, he
took it, made a copy
forgot about mommy
woke up smelling coffee
looked in the mirror
did not hate my body
the sky was all foggy
and greyed-out, but oddly
i liked it enough to
not waste the day nodding
or off of the molly
or in my room rocking
with her voice talking
.
ave satani
the blood and the body
the dark it is calling
and i find it calming
it's sated the longing
lil bishop's evolving
let's go to the graveyard
i feel like walking
and talking
and nodding
inspo tracks: peep this shit

I've tried a lot of browsers. Starting from Chrome, to Chromium, to Firefox, to Links, to w3m, to, eventually, Qutebrowser, which I use for most of my browsing now.
At least for me, I had four things in mind while choosing a browser:
- I want it to be light
- I want it to be minimal
- I want it to be keyboard-oriented
- I want it to be able to use modern websites
I won't be going through all the browsers I've tried, but those I mentioned are the big ones, so I'll just do a quick check-list of these things.
Chrome/Chromium:
- Weighs like a sumo wrestler 1/5
- Cluttered 1/5
- Just some shortcuts and extentions 3/5
- The model, the idol to strife for 5/5
Firefox:
- Apparently lighter than Chromium, though not by much 1/5
- Cluttered 1/5
- Some shortcuts, famous extensions 3/5
- On point 5/5
Links:
- Very light and fast 5/5
- Minimal, though can go smaller 4/5
- Yes 5/5
- Doesn't support javascript 1/5
w3m:
- As light as it gets 6/5
- Pretty damn minimal 5/5
- Even works for blind 5/5
- Does javascript, but hard to use with cluttered wesites like Reddit or any news site 3/5
Qutebrowser:
- It is quite small and feels fast 4/5
- Can be easily modified to not have anything on screen, and command line-like controls 5/5
- Great, but hint system fails with javascript 4/5
- Doesn't work with Reddit, for some reason 4/5
With the things that I look for, Qutebrowser is the answer, with w3m being the close second. Of course, there are different things to look for in a piece of software, and you may want the extra stability and extensions Firefox provides, or privacy of Tor browser, or the suckless nature of surf, so I'd like to hear what is your browser of choice!

For the uninitiated, you can visit puppylinux.org to get to know more about it.
My first experience with Puppy wasn't good, since, for the life of me, I couldn't get the saves working. I still didn't, but I found that xenialpup does work for some reason, so I stuck with it.
After that, it's been great, and although I don't like the UI and some of the default apps, it worked on every computer I've tried it on, and it's light enough to run well on ancient computers.
As far as the tools go, it has everything I need to do my work, even if I'd prefer different tools (like vim and ranger).
That is, of course, only a problem with the default configuration, and Puppy has a very convenient tool to remaster itself, which I'll be using these holidays. It's great to be able to build a more welcoming version for yourself without needing any knowledge or spending a lot of time.
So, I just wanted to see what was your experience with Puppy, or, if you haven't tried it, what you think about it.

I plan on dual-booting Linux soon, and I am wondering on how to handle partitions. I have 3 drives in my computer: an SSD that Windows 10 boots from, a second SSD with one partition and some unallocated space intended for Linux, and an HDD.
When I install Linux on that SSD, how can I prevent Windows from messing with the Linux partition and vice-versa? Can Linux and Windows both read and write to the HDD partitions without complaining about the other modifying them?

I have a Fitbit blaze. It doesn't have a proper api, you can only get the data it generates. However it does have push notifications and a music controller.
My idea was to set up a playlist of empty music files to act as menu options. E.g. track one would be named "turn phone off" and so on. This works as fine as a single menu option but when using multiple option, VLC just plays through the entire playlist.
Is there a music player that selects one track on a playlist and then stops? Or can I set this in VLC?

I've been wondering about this for a while whenever I'm on a metered connection or a capped one.
It'd be cool if I could use my vps to help save data in exchange for latency. Having it download and compress any compressible materials before serving them would be a godsend, but it sounds very edge case-y given how places like youtube deliver videos in bite size peices
Does something like this sound at all possible, or should I just assume it's too niché and look for other data saving ways?

At the risk of sounding like an audiophile I noticed that on some bluetooth devices audio quality comes out absolutely terrible (Like radio recorded with a phone microphone). I was using a pair of Bose QC 35 headphones and on my phone they sound just fine but on my desktop which has a cheap $2 bluetooth usb the sound quality is terrible. Ok for $2 what can you expect but now I have a distrust for all bluetooth devices. How can I know if my bluetooth usb is killing the quality of audio when thats not even a listed spec on these devices. I looked in to this a little bit ago and there seem to be a few proprietary extensions to bluetooth that allow lossless streaming but they aren't well supported because they are proprietary. I understand that high quality lossy compression is pretty much the same quality as lossless but how do I find a product that uses high quality lossy compression when it seems some of them use absolutely horrible compression?
