Back then? Probably not. They were very nostalgic to me back then as my family would play their music a lot. Their debut was the first album I decided to rip. Some of the tracks don't age as well, but I still very much enjoy them because of that nostalgia and since then they have had hits that have aged far better - I'd say One for Sorrow was one of the best tracks on there.

FWIW, they were notably popular in their home country while another band like them - S Club 7 - fared better with an American audience.

If you know exactly what you're looking for and you know the seller, Amazon can be alright. I just bought an album CD there from MusicMagpie who's set up shop on Amazon.

But if what you want is vague, be prepared to be bombarded with a bunch of Chinese sellers with weird brand names going through shittier couriers than Amazon themselves. It's getting worse than AliExpress at this point.

Probably when I ripped a Steps CD my family had to my computer.

Galaxy Note 10+ 5G and Waydroid. Might go for a Pixel in the future, idk - not overly happy with my current phone. I love my old Note and wish I could go back to it.

Waydroid is there so I can have Apple Music for Android running on my Linux rig.

iusearchlinux.fyi just for the domain name 😎

(and it's a neat, friendly instance too)

Not me, but someone on r/TrashTaste got permanently banned from Reddit for posting a tweet.

For context, Trash Taste is a podcast run by anime YouTubers. They had Chris Broad (a.k.a. Abroad in Japan) as a guest and it's safe to say, they're very friendly with each other so of course they'd share content involving and about Chris there. Someone decided to share Chris' frustrated tweet about North Korea throwing missiles in Japanese waters, jokingly suggesting that the Japanese military get some "Patriot missiles" (which I've been told are purely defensive). For the record, this isn't the first time NK has done this, and it's not the first time Chris has been openly frustrated at it.

This ban is ridiculous - it's not like someone is actually being threatened. It's just some grumpy British man living in Japan venting his frustrations over a dictatorship trying to bomb the country he's living in.

The tweet, and the ban image I found, are below.

I only used it to muck about with Bing Chat. But now Vivaldi can fake being Edge so you can access it without needing another browser.

You'd have to consume a lot for it to cause cancer, from what I recall and if - say - you're drinking a lot of soda then you've got bigger problems.

I'm not a fan of it anyway, in the case of Coke Zero it just makes regular Coke taste like Diet Coke to me.

If I didn't have several laptops already I'd have picked one of these up.

It feels like the WHO - or more realistically - the media is/was trying hard to make aspartame this by claiming it causes cancer. They're certainly annoying the soft drinks vendors using them.

Great avatar btw.

Clearly not smart, they should've locked all the Doge ones to milk the crypto memers.
