For anyone who is interested in returning to simple mp3 players, check out the Snowsky range by Fiio.

The Echo Mini and soon to be released Echo Nano are pretty great little pieces that inhabit the offline music (and not your phone) space.

Edit - and Bandcamp or Soulseek to fill the drives up :)

I couldn’t even get immich to work properly :(

I need to spend another weekend starting from scratch but network protocol just completely evades me.

I’m so mentally disordered that I’m not even pictured on the graph…

Prime_E and Southpaw Candybar 4 lyf. I’m not even that deep in the water compared to some.

It’s been decades of US-centric media, political commentary, and general cultural dominance/presence in our lives in most English speaking countries whether we liked it or not.

I kind of read this as the elastic band snapping back, we’ve had to hear so much about the US for long, this is almost cathartic. And it’s not people on the fediverse who are responsible, unfortunately you’re probably the most empathetic group in a social media platform at all. You just happen to be here. With a lot of cynical, anti establishment nerds who have a space to vent.

Great for when you need to cry, though.
