Lots of people who have had a stroke and should absolutely not be driving are still driving.

Because in America telling old people they can’t drive is basically telling them to sit at home die sad and lonely. Or worse, move out of their status symbol suburban homes to which they have tied their entire self worth.

Because she works for billionaires, not for the people. Vote blue no matter who.

I feel for the hundreds of engineers at Microsoft who have been yelling about these security issues since day one, but cannot say “I told you so” because they’d get fired.

Albany control of and intervention in local transportation decisions screws NYC just like it screws small towns with a state highway running through the center.

This is even worse than Hochul’s decision to give a billion dollars of taxpayer money to billionaires to build a head injury stadium.

Get an A/V receiver, a computer monitor or dumb TV, and speakers. Then you can get a Roku streaming player and it cannot show you anything when you do not have its input selected on the receiver.

Even an inexpensive pair of bookshelf speakers placed on either side of the TV will sound better than built-in TV speakers. Add a center speaker and a subwoofer drastically improved sound.

Non-4k AV receivers are dirt cheap used.

You can turn off search-in-url-bar.

Men will literally let an AI kill thousands of drivers a year instead of going to therapy building high-speed rail.

If the artist has a way to buy and download from their website, I do that. Otherwise I buy CDs or vinyl and rip them.

Sometimes I poke around Wikipedia and see what other artists collaborated with, influenced, or were influenced by artists I like, and buy their albums.

Sometimes I download highly-rated shows from random artists on Internet Archive’s Live Music Archive

Sometimes friends recommend stuff.

I am but a simple man. All my music is FLAC. It is arranged neatly in folders. I just want to select an album to play. I do not need album covers, playlists, search, streaming, tags, lyrics, analyzers, or scrobbling.

I want to hear somebody come up with a justification for moving the “Save” button in the download dialog to the top right, instead of the bottom, where everybody expects is after thousands of years of top->bottom left->right reading. Now the flow is top->bottom, left->right, where is the save button? Oh yeah, somebody moved it way up there.
