  1. Btw, sabotage is not only a word that is weirdly pleasant to say and write, but also some of the best search results I've ever seen.

    The top results are when searching on @kagihq are:

    1 - Wikipedia
    2 - wikipedia in German
    3 - Beastie Boys - Sabotage (excellent band, song and videoclip, 10/10)
    4 - counterpunch

    ... and shortly after we have the CIA's very relevant article on "The Art of Simple Sabotage" (cia.gov/stories/story/the-art-)

  2. RE: mastodon.social/@arstechnica/1

    That's why I don't hold it against the company when they revoke all rigths and accesses while the meeting is ongoing.

    I am not stupid enough to do it, I know it, they know it... but there's always a non-zero chance you're dealing with a petty saboteur (I refuse to call "hacking" when someone purely misuses the rights that were provided to them, that is called sabotage), so standard procedure is to eliminate any risks.

  3. I had quit Spotify long ago and more recently ditched Apple Music because I don't want to support the services that are squeezing the artists.

    My replacement consists of two main elements:
    1 - FM radio, like our ancestors used to do in when they lived in caves
    2 - NTS Radio (nts.live/)

    I'm still procrastinating it, but will subscribe for the perks such as enhanced tracklists. I just wanted to spread the word in case someone is looking for alternatives.

    Live radio, and especially radio that focuses on bringing diversity like NTS, is actually pretty refreshing.

  4. Five episodes into Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ and I can fully understand why it's ranked badly compared to other shows in the series.

    They took the humour scenes from the first 2 series, which are sparse and usually involving the children, and really tried to make 50% of the episodes runtime a comedy skit. The antagonist seems to have half the brainpower of a yellow cat.

    Guess I'll skip the remaining (44) episodes, watch Char's Counterattack > Unicorn > Hathaway, and then proceed with the series in release order.

    At some point I'll go back and watch it.
    Maybe.
