ultimately, if i didn’t actively use both, id go deezer but use spotify to generate playlists that i import (scripted, most likely) — that would kind of be the best of both worlds.

For imgur, I just have this in zsh -- I'm on macos, but pbcopy could be replaced with xclip to pop the URL to the clipboard.
function imgup() { local url url=$(curl -s --location \ --request POST "https://api.imgur.com/3/image" \ --header "Authorization: Client-ID 12345abcd" \ --form "image=@$1" | jq -r '.data.link') [[ -n "$url" ]] && echo -n "$url" | pbcopy echo "$url" }SnapX looks to be the best contender outside of something hacky... which is still my preference :)

I was thinking you'd use something like inotifywait w/ an rsync push to a remote server. basically the as those other apps. once the file is transferred, move it to another folder and its done.

With all this shit going down, it feels like we're in another chapter of the same terrible story.

All of their albums are great anyway, but this one stands out with a couple excellent protest anthems that are sadly just as relevant today.

Comment on Harry Styles - Aperture (2026) in ~music
tomf LinkHarry Styles' music isn't bad, but every song is about 1/3rd too long... if not more. Dude's gotta cut it down to three minutes. Do that and he's got a lot of bangers.Harry Styles' music isn't bad, but every song is about 1/3rd too long... if not more. Dude's gotta cut it down to three minutes.

i think i need to start hitting up estate sales, which might be a little morbid…

How anybody designed this little thing is beyond me. Its weird going in, but ultimately not too uncomfortable... do I have a big nose‽ oh my god.
edit: ok yeah -- it isnt comfortable for very long.

I also scored some really nice light brown brogues for another $15. gave them a good cleaning and some fancy french polish and they look great.
some of these stores are delusional, however. a used acrylic sweaters for $30 — terrible. the charity shops typically sell everything for around ten bucks or less, which is great, but the selection lacks.
the next phase is going to be rag sales. basically a warehouse with massive piles of clothes and you pick through and pay by the pound. a lot of this stuff is the leftovers that other fancy vintage shops didn’t get — but there are always plenty of gems. it’s wild to see someone pull a leather jacket for $7.
on instagram, elliotduprey gets some unbelievable finds. the trouble for me is being 6’4” with long-ass legs. handy for tops since i can wear mediums, but i’ll never find nice pants like him.
… and that was my weekend. i pulled a list of shops and had chatgpt solve the salesman problem, which worked out really well.
The Pitt is pretty good but so much of it feels shoe-horned in. Tonight's episode with the parkour girl --- who the fuck says 'our tiktok page'!?
I wish they'd dial it back and just use the lingo, assuming the audience will get the gist if they don't fully understand.
