Sorry I don't understand this. What filesystem are you using?

For some reason I think most people on here are familiar with Douglas Adams.
Thanks for the reply! I hope the question didn't come off as snarky... I find music players, as a genre of software if you may me, fascinating. Since there is always a new one around the corner... Remember XMMS2!? And people still use Winamp 2.xx... It is fun to always see new takes on this problem. I will give it a whirl!
Why would anyone go to a new platform if they didn't know anyone to follow there? I don't see a problem there. I download TikTok and search for SexyDancingDinosaur I heard was on there and press follow.
MPD has built in HTTP streaming. I know at one point it didn't though.

I note that they call it a plugin and also say the purpose of MPD isn't to stream.

>which would basically defeat the point of building on Rockbox firmware.

What is the point of bulding on Rockbox firmware? I love Rockbox myself too so the answer can be "fun" and that is all right.

I haven't tried it myself but I've heard good things about Listenbrainz. Maybe something for you.

Why would anyone use RSS for their notes?

Works for me 6 minutes later. But that must have made you giggle a little!
Sounds like you are talking about the South African flag.
He, or his team, post about the art on instagram. Same with this one. When I first heard about this statue I went there to find it. I guess they can post about any art though but this is how I try to fact check.

>Who owns a potato?

I don't get what this analogy is trying to tell me but I know nothing about potato law. Is this about the Belgian potato surplus?

Are there any emulators on steam? I only remember the chaos that was Dolphin. Maybe its for the fancy controller?
Re:Super ZSNES – GPU Powered SNES Emulator on Wednesday April 29, 2026 @07:53AM (#47947070)
Probably and especially if you include Nintendos own emulators.

I remember reading, back then, about the author byuu/Near going into future updates such as HD Mode7 and widescreen. Found it re-hosted on an odd site here: [1]

It does seem like Super ZSNES in ways picked up these ideas (and torch) and went with them! Rather neat actually! RIP Near.

Non-aligned countries didn't exist? Sorry I need some coffee and I'm feeling a little thick at the moment.

I thought he uploaded to Oink as the rumor went. Maybe there's rumors about both :D

Oh... I... don't know what to say about that post. How foreign? :|

Thanks for the insight!

Wait... You post selfies on Google Maps? The thought never crossed my mind. What would the purpose be? Sorry I'm probably thick...
I had the same thought. Not bashing their work I am genuinely curios.

For this specific case I was suprised to see they have a dedicated website for such questions! So I guess it is quite common.... (They seem very serious about it since i couldn't even mark the text to copy it here! )

I guess this is the only way. I don't think we need novel approach and I don't consider this a novel one since we already have government agencies verifying approved processes in other areas so why not content distrubution.
You said it. An accurate _guess_. Not exactly.
"Because social media already has the age info exactly?" I don't know what this question means. What information does social media have "exactly"?
Late to this post but I have to ask. People made fun of you? Really? I have never owned bluetooth headphones but I've never heard a single comment about that. What kind of enviroment are you in? Leave!

Gmail was an acquisition? I thought it was internal? I remember them launching as an invite only (how i got mine) and it went from there. What is the story?

I didn't know what to expect when clicking an URL to "My _spicy_ take on vibe coding for PMs". I'm a little disapointed of the lack of risque content though.
Wasn't that the model used to hack a banking app?
