This tool that searches your Spotify playlists for the music on Bandcamp works great. Makes a nice list of what to get on today's #BandcampFriday where the revenue share is waived and it all goes to the artist.

Needed a laptop replenishment since the old ones were dead & dying. Purchased a refurbished Lenovo (which has & options) and a . Though the base price was similar, by the time the PBP was delivered it was 50% more expensive.

Though the PBP has a nicer feel and bigger screen, for my purposes (mainly a couch computer for web browsing, video playing, some light development work, and occasionally kid school needs) it isn't worth the premium.

French authorities declare the use of Microsoft Office and Google Docs illegal in schools and education markets, as they don’t follow GDPR and might disturb later competition by making students used to these proprietary solutions.

Whenever I'm tempted to think that a new thing seems too complicated, I read newspaper articles about pizza from the early 1950s.

Learned that public libraries are launching their own local music streaming services and have been low-key obsessed ever since. My report is now up on Vice's Motherboard! vice.com/en/article/5d34px/lib

I have encountered more image descriptions on Mastodon in 24 hours than I have in Twitter in a couple of years. Seriously. I'm not exaggerating.
As a blind person, this means a lot to me. If you read this and you describe your images, thank you so, so, so much on behalf of all of us. If you don't, now you know you'll be helping random Internet strangers make sense of your posts by typing in a few more words than usual.

Received the and so far feels good with the exception of the touchpad.

The firmware update utility for that was sadly not included in the repos by default so had to build, and use an external keyboard while going through the steps. Definitely not for the novice user.

Once done, it works so much better.

I hate what computers are now, and especially hate what Apple computers are now. Here are comics that were "purchased" but can't be read, and a screen to read them on which works but can't be used,

because Amazon decided to buy the comic vendor and break their app,

and Apple insists we buy a new screen every few years or they will make apps (like unbroken Comixology) break via aggressive SDK depreciation. The new screen isn't better. They just make you pay for it because they can.

20 years ago, if you ate dinner under the unblinking eye of a CCTV, it was because you were housed in a supermax prison. Today, it's because you were unwise enough to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for "home automation" from Google, Apple, Amazon or another "luxury surveillance" vendor.

It was 1939 and this technology created 3D sculptures. It took decades later to duplicate this lost technology.
