I will never trust that one day the obscure stuff I prefer wouldn't be available on a streaming platform. Especially when it comes to music I'm staunchly for digital autonomy.
I recently had to get a new android phone, so I choose one of the few I could find with an SD card slot. I sync my collection between my phone and my computer. I also have a raid backup on a raspberry pi. -

I recently dropped my Pixel and killed the screen, so I had to get a new phone. Being back on stock Android in a way is kinda nice because RCS just works now.

Comment on Prior Lake woman arrested with bag of drugs labeled ‘Definitely not a bag full of drugs’ in ~news
BuckWylde LinkInstead of the absolutely ridiculous charge for the mushrooms they should dose a bunch of ICE agents so they can hopefully have an eye opening experience leading them to get a real job.Instead of the absolutely ridiculous charge for the mushrooms they should dose a bunch of ICE agents so they can hopefully have an eye opening experience leading them to get a real job.

BuckWylde LinkKrisiun has been on rotation this last week, mainly the Conquerors of Armageddon and Southern Storm albums. I've been in the mood for relentless blastbeats paired with tasteful shredding.Krisiun has been on rotation this last week, mainly the Conquerors of Armageddon and Southern Storm albums.

BuckWylde Link ParentThank you. It actually means a good amount. I've been lucky in that all the friends I've told have been nothing but supportive and happy for me.Thank you.

A friend mentioned them and we decided to revisit. I got that album when it first came out and kinda liked it. Fast forward 25 years (holy crap) and now it's such a banger all the way through. The keyboards are over the top.

I have a feeling it'll be holding my attention for the next while.

BuckWylde LinkI technically finished Ball x Pit yesterday. That game IMO is a masterclass in the roguelite/whatever that genre has become. I might end up going for 100% completion, which is a rare thing for me...I technically finished Ball x Pit yesterday. That game IMO is a masterclass in the roguelite/whatever that genre has become. I might end up going for 100% completion, which is a rare thing for me to want to do. Hades 2 might be the next on my list.

It's been a really cool learning experience. I also have a small hardware setup (not modular because $$$) that I hope to eventually use for a live set like back in the day. Here's my bandcamp page.

Not having SD card slots IMO is a way to force people into cloud storage, streaming, etc. That's how my cynical brain reads it.
