Another reason to leave #Spotify.

Artist credit spam.

(This is my second experience with this, first time I ran it down to learn it's a real thing.)

Credit a bigger artist as featured on your track, and Spotify will tell all their fans about it. Spotify user content reporting has no path for reporting fraudulent song metadata, only artist profile data.

I just listened to this whole dang song hoping to hear one of my favorite artists. Actual artist monthly listens: 123. Spam credited artist monthly listens: 104.8k.

As my YouTube channels rides into the sunset, I'm promoting other amazing YouTubers!

From reviewing Amtrak's least used stations to chaining together local transit routes to cover extreme distances, Miles in Transit "pushes transit to its limits" in North America and beyond!

You know what? As a society, I don't think we have a data privacy problem, actually.

What we truly have is a
consent-respecting problem.

If, as a society and as individuals, we truly respected people's informed and freely given consent, we would not have problems with data privacy at all.

If we culturally improve our consent-respecting practices, we will inevitably understand better how to improve our privacy-respecting practices.

Ask first.
Give options.
Respect people's choices.
Never share without prior permission.

FC RX-7’s can be over $20k now. I remember buying mine in ~1998 for $3,000. (It was never this nice)

Since the original DOS "MS-DOS Editor" is in the news because of the brand new "Microsoft Edit" here's your reminder that the original MS-DOS 5 editor wasn't even a stand-alone program, but rather just QBasic in disguise.
All EDIT.COM did was launch QBASIC.EXE with the /EDCOM parameter (undocumented parameter, although the official /EDITOR does the exact same thing.) That's why EDIT.COM itself is only 413 bytes.

@mose And you can’t get it anymore.

I know Volvo’s brand isn’t “exciting” but a few fun colors couldn’t hurt.

@dan 100% and I cannot imagine the rebel blue hurts. Such a good color.

My small wish for agender pride day:

Stop gendering clothing.

Start making a variety of styles in many colors, cut for different bodies, and label them as such. All clothes are gender neutral.

(My big wish is end the patriarchy, of course, and binary thinking.)

The light posts in this park have little solar panels on the top above the lights and little USB chargers along the posts.

Free charging of electronics in public places is crucial.

Several light posts branch out beside a path winding through a town park. Solar panels sit on top on the light. Bushes and trees and grass sit below a clear blue sky.A close up of a USB charging port, outside, on a light pole.

#RadRide at auction today bonus feature! I was gonna run two today but y'all get three because of THIS. Behold, a 2000 Toyota Origin! This is a special edition based on the Progrès platform that was limited to just 1073 units. It features retro 50s Toyopet styling, incredible wrap-around rear glass and suicide doors! And a reverse rake C-pillar!? This has every blissfully weird thing of the era! WOW!! DM for interest or to bid! #JDM #weirdcarmastodon

The last true Rolls Royce was a Bentley - or so you could argue. The Mulsanne had a bespoke body not based on any platform from its new parent Volkswagen. It also revived, in heavily updated form, the magnificent old Rolls Royce 6.75-litre V8. It was built at the old Rolls factory in Crewe. It was the true lineal successor to the recently featured Silver Shadow, Silver Spirit and Silver Seraph. Pic taken - Geneva Motor Show, 2013.

“the committed support for Oracle Solaris until at least 2037”

The “angry chasing goose meme” - a pair of comic panels from theycantalk.com. The top panel contains a goose head and face, with narrowed eyes appearing suspicious and asking “what happens in 2038”. The bottom panel contains a goose with head forward and down, aggressively chasing a person and asking “what happens in 2038 motherfucker?”

@hankgreen I just tried finding one for Sammy Rae and The Friends with no luck. I think they'd excel in the format.
