  • You shouldn’t spoil their good time. They’re just giddy that some people just started their track to homelessness. I mean literally, how would they NOT deserve it? They saw some American dickhead on the Internet laugh at them or something? This justifies it all. These great model Canadians know that they are far superior. Precisely because they were born in Canada.






  • My system used to always be a music folder full of album subfolders named like artistName - year - albumName. I did so much manual work to make that happen and then Spotify came along. I mostly neglected my collection for a decade, only adding to it occasionally. When Spotify aligned themselves with Nazis I cancelled my subscription and started about hosting my own collection with Plex for streaming. I had let my organization system go to shit and now I’ve got a mess.

    I’m currently working on a script that will identify naming convention issues and eventually spit out a list of commands for renaming/moving folders. I also want the script to identify metadata issues, dupes, and missing tracks. I know there are a lot of tools that do a lot of this already, but I don’t like any of them I’ve found so far. I especially don’t like the idea of an opinionated tool redoing my library by making destructive writes, thousands of files/folders at a time, without me approving changes first. A lot of them work that way.











  • Ps being afraid of answering the phone is not a disability. I’ve had crippling social anxiety my whole life and don’t love phone calls either but I don’t make it my personality or anyone else’s problem. If someone calls me I either answer or not. I don’t seek approval for it being a tiny inconvenience (5 minutes of awkwardness at worst) I want to overblow.
