  • Scepticism should always be applied to any state-run media.

  • I have CD-R demo discs from the early 00's that still play fine. Also according to Wikipedia: "On July 3, 1991, the first recording of a concert directly to CD was made using a Yamaha YPDR 601. The concert was performed by Claudio Baglioni at the Stadio Flaminio in Rome, Italy. At that time, it was generally anticipated that recordable CDs would have a lifetime of no more than 10 years. However, as of July 2020 the CD from this live recording still plays back with no uncorrectable errors."

    Edit: Yes, a tape drive would be ideal but i'm poor af.

  • That don't mean people don't still burn discs just because you and whoever else doesn't.

  • Me, they retain data alot longer than any solid state data storage device. They are much more usable for archival storage. Also I burn CD's to listen to music on my Stereo.

  • I make myself cum and then cry. Do I get a prize?

  • Understandable, it's best experienced with the whole album anyway.

  • That's not what Jenny is about. Jenny was a friend of the band that Jim Keller (song's author) was dating. There's lots of songs from back then that actually are creepy but I don't think that's one of them.

    Also, a song about something bad is not an endorsment. For example Angel of Death by Slayer. Nirvana covered a Leadbelly song called Ain't It a Shame which is about the narrator beating his wife. Not an endorsment of spousal abuse from one of music's most famous feminists.

    Sometimes s song is just telling a story, be it positive or negative.

    As for Owner of a Lonely Heart, agreed. Annoying and over-played.

  • Can you save my heavydirtysoul?

  • Tattoo is their worst song. I love Van Halen.

  • Awww I like that song

  • Never be the same by Camila Cabello. Fucking annoying overplayed ass music.

  • Certain videos won't play in any media player. Also occasional graphical glitches in Plasma for me. No issues with games oddly enough.

    Edit: I'm using Arch but I'd expect these issues to be distro-agnostic. Though I'm fine with being wrong.

  • I'd say try Kubuntu. It's like Ubuntu but with KDE (Windows-like user interface) instead of GNOME (shitty Mac clone turned tablet like interface). It's well-supported and is easy to use. Also supports new technologies like HDR which Mint is lacking. Though you can install KDE on pretty much any distro (Mint included) but it's a good starting place.

    Note to fellow Linux veterans: Yes, I know snaps suck but it is not something new users need concearn themselves with. Kubuntu is a great distro except for snaps which aren't going to affect OP's use-case (or most use-cases. Also sorry for shitting on GNOME so much. If you like it that's cool, I just don't think we should be recomending it to people coming from Windows.

  • Everytime I see ocean things I think of SOMA. I may have some sort of mental disorder.

  • Frankenstein's monster?
