Sharing your music in a fedi community, only to get downvotes on it.
Like genuinely, if you're the type of person to downvote other people sharing music they like, you're just a jackass. I'll never understand the logic people have doing that instead of just ignoring what they don't like.
Frustrates me even when it's just a single person doing it.

Love the ethereal vocals.
Looks neat, will consider it. I don't do a crazy amount of gaming though as I don't do anything AAA or such.
I currently have an Nvidia 1060 Ti, and was mainly using KDE save for Mint and whatever it was I had with Manjaro. Too long back to remember for the latter. Think the GPU in the previous comp was exact same model, either that or a 1080 Ti.
Not huge into Cinnamon (I think that's Mint's default desktop environment). No idea why people hate on Windows 10 in terms of the layout of the desktop environment because it's just about perfect for me. KDE was like the layout of Windows 10 if it was outright perfect. Kubuntu was incredible as a starter after the mess I had with Manjaro, which was so long ago I can't even remember what happened there.
KDE for me is an absolute necessity in a distro in terms of desktop environment. Remember having it with Debian.
Been meaning to replace my GPU with an equivalent by AMD. Only thing keeping me back is cost, and knowing if an AMD equivalent would be compatible with my motherboard.
Probably had start of last year or end of 2023. Memory is fuzzy admittedly.
Thanks for the suggestion.
This makes sense though? The consumer pays for the tariffs, not the U.S.. The price increase on U.S.-imported groceries from tariffs will be removed, making prices come down to how they were before we placed tariffs on them.
Been reconnecting with things I like more as of late as part of rebuilding my personal identity.
Forgot how much I love Fox Stevenson. Found out he released a new album few months ago, and it is amazing, very easily a contender for my album of the year.
Sunk Cost Fallacy is so fucking good, please give it a listen: https://foxstevenson.bandcamp.com/album/sunk-cost-fallacy
Not to give too much leeway to these companies, but I feel like the reason for this is all a confusion of what consumers are wanting.
On the part of the consumer, they want more stuff made here in Canada, but on the part of the grocery stores, they either misread the room and think they want Canadian brands, or assume they know better and go by Canadian brands seeing how so much of what we get at the grocery store in Canada either isn't grown at demand, or can't be grown here at all.
This would probably be best sorted with a better product labeling system enforced by the government. I used to work on Open Food Facts a lot (stopped doing so for a variety of reasons), and learned that how we label food here is so confusing when we can make it much more simplified and easier to read.
Something like a checklist format would be nice. Something like:
Canadian brand? [checkbox]
Domestically owned? [checkbox]
Canadian Ingredients? [five bars shifting from red to green, each bar being the closest 20% increment of domestic ingredients by volume]
Just this would help a tonne. You can identify truly Canadian brands and keep your dollars in Canada, and also do so more intensely if you wish by avoiding products that fail to meet a certain threshold of domestic ingredients. It prevents companies from having to assume they know better than the consumer when it comes to assuming what they actually want, and replaces the "made with domestic and imported ingredients", "product of Canada", and "Made in Canada" labels with something that paints a more clear and obvious picture to the consumer.
I do think there is some level of malice, but I think this is overwhelmingly just companies throwing their shoulders up in confusion when major products we buy (coffee, chocolate, tea, sugar for most of Canada) just aren't grown here, and don't want the less informed types spending all day looking at labels for a chocolate bar with Canadian-grown cocoa when Canadian brands are the closest thing to what they want lol.
If you let mayonnaise or peanut butter sit on it a bit, it should remove adhesives unless it's stupid old. It's worked for me with everything up until it comes to removing adhesive that's been sitting around since 1985 or whatever.
