I've noticed a lot of people on normie social media posting their most listened to songs of the year on Spotify.

As I do not have a Spotify I thought I'd just post a link to my tracks on Bandcamp.

You know all those documentaries you've watched about a dictator's path to power?
You know there's always the bit where you think: "Why didn't people do something? They could have stopped him while there was still time"?
That's the bit we're at.

The #Omicron variant is another reason for a #TRIPS waiver.

In order to limit the outbreak of new variants, vaccines must be available and affordable worldwide. I hope that the European Commission will act sooner than later. How many more reasons do we need? https://www.politico.eu/article/omicron-outbreak-eu-vaccine-access-southern-africa/

I would really want to have something like Pidgin but for the current generation of IM.

That is, a multi-protocol IM that supports Briar, Signal, Wire, Threema, (and some others I don't care about).

A single client to rule them all.

We used to have it with Pidgin for Jabber, ICQ, etc. Why can't we have nice things now?

Everyone knows that #BlackFriday sales are pretty awful, the prices are usually the same as the rest of the year!

Escaping from iOS with /e/: the last(?) update

I was going to write transitional day notes for a week, but it's just not worth it. On the whole, moving from iOS to @e_mydata has been pretty seamless. And the @thepine64 PineWatch has been a revelation.

Whenever I feel guilty about buying another book, I like to remind myself that I just purchased 1-5 years of that person’s life for 26 dollars.
