As a product manager, I simply choose to overlook things like “implementation details” or “the laws of physics!!” /s 🤣

On a more serious note, I’m just reaching a point where I just want a small, reliable, and minimalist mp3 playing app for the Mac, as I’m starting to get sick of every single service wanting $20/m for stuff.

I pine for the whipping the Lamas ass winamp used to give…

There’s a recreation in re:Amp for osx, but I’d much prefer OSS apps…

Generally, I’d rather go back to just buying the music I want, ripping it and putting it on the devices I want to listen to it from…

Mac Port! Mac Port! Mac Port!

Depends on the price. I was able to return a 13 month old iPhone when apple announced the CSAM scanning (that they eventually abandoned) - I got a full refund. The phone costs enough that ACL considers it should operate for at least 2 years.

At least in Australia, Consumer Law means you have grounds to walk the TV back for a full refund.

Had a miniature poodle go blind at my parents hiise when I was 17/18 and he was peeing everywhere in the house suddenly.

Spent a day watching and realised he was laying scent markers for navigation.

Cleaned up all the wee and started tagging the left side of every doorway with a different herb/spice (basil, thyme, Rosemary, paprika etc). Just grabbed some dried herbs and rubbed them in the bottom left of all the doorways.

Took the dog through the house on a lead, and let him smell each door and took him outside.

Pretty much stopped the inside peejng, unless we forgot to replace the herb/spice rubs, or mixed up which herb went where when we reapplied…

My friends started calling my place the KFC shack.

Australia’s Basic Online Safety Expectations made it required by law:

“If the service uses encryption, the provider of the service will take reasonable steps to develop and implement processes to detect and address material or activity on the service that is or may be unlawful or harmful”
