Maybe the Simpsons will still be on air…

I currently have 130+ tabs open in Firefox and 90+ in Chrome in addition to some other programs open and running (libreOffice, vpn, and others) Everything is working fine on my old laptop with an i5 processor and 16G ram and windows 10, ssd hd

I can’t really game on this, and trying to run a virtual machine is a slog.

But VS Code, database, xshell, calibre, audacity, photopea, even basic video editing all run fine. Granted I usually do one project at a time, so I’m not using VS Code and editing videos at the same time.

The browser tabs are usually always open. Oh, and I actually just cleaned up my tabs. There were a lot more…

I feel like the memory issues are mostly worked out now for most of us.

I feel this way about music too. Not just pirated tunes, but copyright takedowns on shorts and in yt vids

Finding new artists as a fan is hard enough. If someone has reposted your music video as their own, sure I get it.

But a minute clip or less? Fans or haters talking about it? Let that thing fly free baby! I’ve found so much new music that was background music. I use the family Spotify account or buy merch more than I buy music these days to support.

I’ve bought so many books from authors that became my favs after they did a free epub once that got my attention.

There’s always the “do this thing free for the exposure” problem - but people who say that are usually trying to exploit artists for their own gain. Fans are different, they are grass roots and not trying to exploit, but trying to recruit.

Ha, one should always be aware of the risks.

But also, VLC crashes a lot for me lately, so was hoping this was a joke that the next version would be more stable and the kinks would be worked out.

At least the base looks flaired

She is an incredibly prolific songwriter for other people as well. There’s a decent chance you like a song she wrote that is performed by someone else - if that makes you feel any better about your sacrilege (smiley face emoji)

I heard her tell a story about how she entered a Dolly Parton drag competition on a whim. She was delighted that she lost!
