Binge listening to the Acquired Podcast, by Benjamin Gilbert and David Rosenthal. The tone is young, slightly broey and plenty privileged. I find my self disagreeing with a lot of what they say and opine.
But the stories of the companies that they tell? That part is lovely. and really well executed. Plenty of work and effort.

I am a light mode in the day and dark mode eve onwards person.
And of course I want my @linuxmint to automatically change themes for me. As of now, it natively does not.
and so tada: S L Gobinath’s Dark Mode applet to the rescue.
While I don’t quite get the iOS-esque automatic sundown switch, aleast now Mint switches to dark mode automatically at 6 in the eve.
Thank you so much, Sir!

There is fiction in the space between
The lines on your page of memories
Write it down but it doesn’t mean
You’re not just telling stories

close to two decades after I moved to a completely digital audio library, I’ve had my first case of bit rot and needed to replace close to 25 songs.
This is quite a bit longer than my records and tapes and cds lasted, when i was using them though. So pretty pleased :)
I bought songs on iTunes. How much longer will I get to buy songs for keeps for myself, is anyone’s guess though.
