I write a few different styles, been writing big beat for a couple of years now and trying to do it as independently as possible. But still needs promoting online, hence social media ugh.

Some of us have no choice. If I don’t have social media, record labels won’t sign my music. I cannot afford to pay someone else to maintain it for me.

FR. These features are so easy to disable, when I updated Firefox recently it asked me on next load if I want the features or not… I chose not, no big deal!

‘AI’ is this generations Justin Bieber / Skrillex. There’s plenty to criticise but it’s becoming a bandwagon at this point.

any notion that there is method in his madness.

There IS method in his madness. Just, it’s mostly not his method, you’ve got to peek behind the curtain. You have to remember with Trump, all he cares about is money and the appearance of ‘winning’. A lot of his ‘confusing’ rhetoric is designed to pump 'n dump the market, so he and his close associates can make big bets for big profit.

For the darker intentions, you need to look to people like Peter Thiel, Curtis Yarvin, Heritage Society. They’ve literally stated all their intentions in the P2025 documents.

Personally I’d love to see sanctions applied to USA for what they’ve done in Iran - though don’t get me wrong, I don’t support the Iranian regime either - BUT you really cannot compare Iran to Ukraine.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but Ukraine hasn’t spent the last two decades funding terrorism and proxies to destabilise the European area? Let’s not pretend like Iranian gov is some helpless, innocent angel here. Many were clapping for regime change when it was being earned by the blood of innocent students. Perhaps many of our countries would’ve been involved in this conflict, if it was planned and executed sensibly (though I’d argue the conflict straight up wouldn’t have exploded to actual conflict if anyone but the stupid orange turd was at the helm)

You know why. Or you should at least be able to work it out.

While a lot of countries are rapidly losing patience as Trump becomes more unhinged, everyone is trying to soften the massive shock that is coming. It’s like 8 people sat around a Monopoly board, desperately trying to keep the rabid chimp calm who is player 9. We all suspect he’s going to flip the board and ruin the game for everyone at some point, so we’re all quietly hardening our stores, our connectivity etc so that it causes as little damage as possible.

We’re not going to prod the chimp into flipping the board when we’re still not ready to deal with the fallout.

I went through a similar thing, conclusion I came to was that as Tetris is so popular, the owners of the IP have it on lockdown… it is quite a specific IP that’s kinda hard to do something similar-but-the-same.

Options I came up with were pirating a copy, or xbox game pass (iirc Tetris Effect is available there). Or… are there any Gameboy emulators that run on mobile?
