  • Tidal has no official Linux app, which is shocking considering their demographic. But a hero has made an app that gets pretty close. Under the hood it’s the web client with some add-ons to support full quality streaming. The user experience is generally fairly close to an official app.

    I used soundiiz to convert all my content over, and of probably over 10,000 songs there were less than 100 unavailable, so library isn’t a concern. The increased quality is nice, but the big reason I choose tidal is that instead of doing unnecessary stuff like podcasts they pay artists better. As much as 3X according to some things I’ve read. I have not verified those numbers.

    Cards on the table: for Google money I’d do it too. If they want to enshittify their product until the competition has a fighting chance, who am I to stop them? Sure, it’s an annoying and anticonsumer thing to do. But making a “free” product’s bad qualities harder to circumvent isn’t the ethical hill I’m going to die on.









  • My kit:

    • pocket knife
    • flashlight
    • wallet
    • folding phone stand
    • phone
    • earbuds
    • pen (with a cap, not a clicky)
    • sharpie
    • breath mints
    • 4’ multi-end charging cable
    • thumb drive
    • lightning > 3.5mm (aux)
    • USBC > 3.5mm
    • bandaids
    • OTC drugs (Advil, Tylenol, Aleve, Benadryl, lactase (I’m lactose intolerant))

    Everything on that list was added because I needed it and didn’t have it on multiple occasions. There have been plenty of other things that I would love to carry, but found too bulky to justify.

    A note to everyone recommending condoms: they do expire, and can wear through if carried in an environment with friction (wallet, pocket, etc). I prefer to play it safe and make a stop at a drug store should the need arise.
