    For the first time in 10 or more years, I don't have a reddit app on my phone after this. Reddit may have won, but they've lost a core user base that once respected them.

    I've always used org mode in Emacs. It's a simple system that I'm kind of stuck to. Org mode can do a ton, but I use it for todo lists and managing dates on the calendar.

    You can use Emacs as an email client as well. I don't currently do this, but there are a few ways of making it happen.

    How did the admins think that this would go? I'm assuming each of his answers are being checked by PR and lawyers.

    Bad Religion - A Streetkid Named Desire (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKcOuXTVgMo)

    This is the group I'm always returning to, and I've been listening to a lot of the era when Greg Graffin was the main writer as of late (1996-2000). It has a different feeling to it.

    Stevie Ray Vaughan - Scuttle Buttin' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5r56RRl7-vU)

    I hadn't listened to Vaughan much before this. The album opens with this track, and it definitely caught me.

    Primus - The Pilcher's Squad (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tt1ScF8-iZo)

    This was just on an EP, and it isn't as known as their other songs. Sort of underrated in my opinion.

  5. Comment on Apollo will close down on June 30th. Reddit’s recent decisions and actions have unfortunately made it impossible for Apollo to continue. Thank you so, so much for all the support over the years. in ~tech

    Glad you had the same idea as me. I was wondering if this post would be taken down.

    I went by another pseudonym when I was younger. Usually I was referred to by the acronym of it. I got used to being referred to this by only my online friends.

    Eventually, I started playing Dota 2 and TF2 with people I knew at school. My online friends and IRL friends mixed. Soon enough, people at my school were calling me this acronym when we weren't online haha. Many times I had to remind them that they weren't supposed to call me that in public.

    I use the Terminus font. I found it a long time ago and it's what I default to for my terminal.

    Hello everyone!

    I am a reddit refugee. It's strange to think that I first got on there over a decade ago.

    I'm interested in tech/science-related topics, and that's what I primarily read about on Reddit. I also like to learn about politics/humanities and I love music, especially punk.

    I've been into gaming since I was child. I was hooked on single player games, like Half-Life and Paper Mario. Nowadays, I'm usually playing co-op/multiplayer games with my friends if I have the time.

    The last few years I've been trying to branch out and get into fitness/health. I have been running, biking, or doing very long walks when I can.

    I'm really glad to have found this place. I agree with the ideas that are behind Tildes and how it fosters discussion.
