@ohchristwhatnow.bsky.social Since we're talking a bit about music, I noticed you mentioned ripping to ALAC (Apple Lossless). I'm on a mac, but having a big issue staying organized with Apple Music and my own library within the same app. I've started ripping to FLAC for now to keep them separate. 1/

Picked up an inexpensive cd/dvd player/writer a few weeks back & finally cracked open one of my CD boxes in the basement that haven’t seen light since 2015.
Chose this one to listen to the actual CD before ripping it to lossless. I still buying it at HMV…

A (very) enjoyable side-effect of rebuilding my music library for offline use is revisiting songs that i haven't listened to in ages! Once I get my bass back from the shop, I may need to commit to relearning it. ❤️

Guess who's behind X accounts like RedPilledNurse or Ivanka Trump News? People outside the US. And social media companies are rewarding the creators for it. @evystadium.bsky.social has more:
