The key takeaway of the article is she was so unemployable when she started that she had to apply everywhere and be willing to put in extra effort and accept lesser pay to get started. Then after that, she got lucky.

That's usually how it goes - especially for those who don't have any defining traits.

I've seen a lot of people move to Mint or Pop_OS or Kubuntu. They're Debian based so updates are pretty stable.

I personally ended up with EndeavourOS using the KDE desktop environment. I have a steam deck, so this felt very similar to me. This is Arch based so sometimes updates break things, but I've had more success here.

Also remember that no distro is problem-free, but neither was Windows. The longer you commit, the easier it gets.

EDIT: If you're hesitant to fully commit at first, I also recommend dual booting with Windows. Over time you'll use it less and less until one day you feel like reclaiming the disk space.

This is a tough sell. I just got the RG35XX H recently for <50 USD. Seeing all this is mostly the same besides a bigger screen and new shape, is it really worth a double in cost?

Plus I assume the bigger screen would mean the device is bigger overall. To me, one of the key features of the 35XX H is it's pocketability.

I'm not sure if the application is safe. It may be malicious. Proceed at your own risk.

I saw a GitHub project called 163MusicLyrics that's sources the information from Chinese sources (NetEase and QQ).

The entire software is in Chinese, but the results looked really accurate from the sandbox I ran. It's even actively developed with v6.2 releasing least week. But again, I don't know if it's safe.

I'm not good at code but it looks like it's OSS, so you could verify the code yourself or reverse engineer something with the API calls they use?

Let me know if you come across something though. I'm also looking for a way to get LRC files easily.

EDIT: Also for self hosting, I use Jellyfin with Symfonium, and Tailscale. It works great for me and has been relatively low maintenance.

not if they're playing bedrock harcore [sic] mode and die flying around or whatever

This was inevitable. Their business model required cutting necessary expenses to drive their prices below taxis, but that's not sustainable.

Hopefully this encourages the use of biking, public transportation, or at the very least, transportation services that provide better employee benefits.

Uber needs to remember that society functioned just fine before them. It can survive just fine without them.

At ~17 USD a month, you could buy nearly every new song you like that you found that month in CD quality or better.

Start building your own library.

I'll also add that if you're looking to replace the recommendation algorithm, you can use Last.FM, AOTY, RYM, or even Instagram (I follow a lot of artists and the recommended posts when I go to search something have actually been decent. really strange and perplexing)

Also, if you find any CDs you don't care for anymore, see if you can donate them to your local library :)

So I recently terminated my Spotify subscription and moved my library to Jellyfin.

For my phone client, I use Symfonium. There are other options available (even FOSS options if you prefer), but I liked Symfonium's UI the best. It also has a rolling offline cache setting that I find very useful. However, it does have a one time fee of 5 USD. But the client is completely up to your preference - no right choice.

If you care about Last.FM scrobbling, use something like Pano Scrobbler on your phone.

For desktop streaming, Jellyfin isn't required. Use which ever media player you like best.

As for accessing your Jellyfin server outside your home network, Tailscale is an option. It was relatively easy to set up, even for someone who's dumb with networking.

don't forget the second part where i quit something i'm good at because i don't immediately see exponential growth which means my current abilities are a mere fluke
