When I find a song, I like to keep it. Streaming cant do that. You can create playlists of course, but they may at any time silently remove or replace that song. You dont know suffering until you’ve heard a bad cover of Hotel California.

Now I only buy mp3s. Mostly from 7digital.com or Bandcamp. Amazon dont sell music to Norwegians somewhy. The last album I bought I finally had to download iTunes because thats the only place except for Amazon they released. The app wasnt as intrusive and DRM enforcing anymore as it used to be a long time ago. So I might use iTunes a bit more now. (Yeah, I tend to hold a grudge against software companies for a LONG time. You hear that, reddit!)

Got all my mp3s (23 GB) stored on Onedrive, and use CloudPlayer on android to stream it wherever.

Q: So does ICANN have its own Doman Name Server (for those who dont know: list of domain and IPs, like a phone catalog) that the other commercial DNS’ (like local ISPs and Google DNS and cloudflare DNS) is connected directly to?

Yeah, but I almost always end up using the !g bang anyway. And its so stuck in my fingers that I sometimes mistakenly write !g wen searchphrase when I want to search on wikipedia. Im cursed.

Updated UI? Good. I went with emClient because Thunderbirds UI was so darn outdated looking. Also because the calendar and contacts plugins worked badly with gmail, resetting birthday dates and stuff.

Past two decades, you mean? (I’m still mad about the crowd choosing MSN Messenger over open protocol chat programs back in '00)

Why Windows 10? Is there already a popular Windows general sub?

I’m a fan of Miracle of Sound. He’s mostly doing game-inspired music, but there are a few non-game albums in there too:

"Our policy decisions are not determined by the board or shareholders …

Thats what I thought before. Also what I thought about the US President. Theres supposed to be policies and paper and some kind of sane middlemen between the crazy top people and the company or country. That in the end the boards or parties would at least steer it in the relatively profitable direction despite a crazy guy at the helm.

Naive of me.

Same with upvotes and downvotes, I wonder? Some uses it as a good post/bury post, but most uses it as an agree/disagree button, I believe. Maybe one could have different but clearly labeled buttons per sub or per content-type.
