Why Are Rap*** & Ped** Protected In Jail?
It’s actually sick, they already get a light sentence and also getting protected by the justice system while the victim they violated is heavily traumatized, probably for life. And what’s crazier is it’s happening more, I’m seeing it daily now every time I scroll, there’s another case. Just a few days ago a middle aged...

How do I download Spotify playlists?
Edit: Solution is Zotify, use a burner account for this type of use (playing songs on speakers, quality is fine at 160kbps). It’s a bit hard to setup and use, but nothing major. SpotifyDown is the next best option Imo, cannot download full playlists but quality is good. (Not using audio from YouTube videos) Most other options...

"BeReal." FOSS alternative? Yes please!
I like the concept of the iOS/Android app BeReal. Your app tells you randomly during the day that you have to take a combined picture (frond and back camera). So you don’t have much time to prepare. Then this pic is uploaded and friends who follow you can see it....

If the IBM PC used an ARM (or related) CPU instead of the Intel 8088, would smartphones ultimately have sucked less?
Developers still continue to shaft anyone that isn’t using an IBM PC compatible. But if the IBM PC was more closely related to the latest Nexus/Pixel device, then would the gaming experience on smartphones be any good?

Am I fine getting a copy of Windows 10 despite Microsoft’s discontinuation, or...
The Finals crashing Fedora 40
Since the lastest update on The finals we need to use Proton Experimental to avoid the anticheat randomly kicking Linux users, but since yesterday the game is crashing, sometimes in the menu. Sometimes the games launches and close automatically, with the lastest proton GE instead of Proton-experimental I had the following error:...
In mid-December and early January Quaker oats issued two massive recalls for salmonella risk. Many of their biggest products were involved. Other recalls were issued in February as well.
As of today many and perhaps even most of those products are still not on the shelves. It’s unusual to see this kind of delay, and I wonder if anyone knows…...
