    What is the consensus around Proton services now? Your last sentence seems to potentially indicate a negative sentiment. Ive been using proton services for awhile and it's always been pretty great.

    If I had any issue with Proton it would be feature creep. Lol

    So glad to see others here enjoy The Dear Hunter. I'm my circles they are a very underrated band. I've seen them live once and cannot express how great they were.

    Pretty cool. I'll be interested to see how this is utilized going forward forward projects like WACUP. I've used WACUP on and off over the years. Helped a lot with scaling on modern monitors and worked pretty great. Ultimately though, I use Foobar2000.

    Oh man, I remember the mid 2010s EDM-Pop craze. I was not a fan. Back then I was listening to a lot of bands like Manchester Orchestra.

    Can't believe it's been that long. I know a lot of Paramore fans who just didn't get into this album, so I'm not surprised it didn't chart.

    Paramore has been on another level since Hard Times. I love every album from them, but seeing their sound mature and evolve into this new wave style is so fun to see.

    Edit:
    I'd like to iterate that I meant I like Paramores take on David Byrne more than David Byrne in relation to Hard Times specifically.

    I've been listening to The Last Dinner Party's album Prelude to Ecstasy. I love the classical elements, the bass lines are groovy, and the vocal melodies definitely go against what I'm used to hearing which makes each song feel refreshing.

    Here's my chart. I've got some Creed on there. Lol Didn't realize I listened to them enough this week. Had a bit of a nostalgic moment. Haha

    Niagara is so good. I used to be a Nova Launcher user until I found Niagara. The new wallpapers, icons, and fonts they added recently really help give you some personality while also staying focused.

    There is a native desktop app now, but I couldn't find information on whether you could add other IMAP based accounts to it. I'll download and see.

    On a side note, I really enjoyed FastMail, but didn't feel for my personal use there was any negative to sticking with Proton. Well, other than not syncing contacts to my phone. Still use Google for that unfortunately.

    Physical media is doing great right now, it's just not in the mainstream.

    If not, it's always great to see an organization like NASCAR embrace their roots and not let certain tracks decay. The state of some tracks was something that Dale Jr's Lost Speedways show really shined a light on.

    Superman is my favorite superhero and has been since I was a kid. I have hope that James Gunn is going to give Superman a real shot in the arm based on his previous films. Casting looks solid as well.

    Just to be clear, I'm not looking for the best Superman or superhero film ever made. I'm looking for something entertaining with heart. I feel the audience is always looking for "the best" and it's unrealistic.
