I got my BS in CSci about 15 years ago and it was 100% about programming in java. We didn’t learn a fucking thing about hardware and my roommate was an EE major and we had none of the same classes except for calculus.

By the time I graduated java was basically dead. Thanks state college.

The files downloaded this way are usable offline? Is there some utility you are using to do this? I am very interested.

I’m amazed you still have the old files. I was late for Napster but I downloaded loads of individual files from kazaa/limewire/frostwire and used them to burn CDs.

Only a few years later though I would get into torrenting and replace pretty much all those shitty old low bitrate files with 320kbps mp3 discographies.

Many years later after college when I finally had a little extra money I started buying all my favorite CDs I discovered from the previous meana and ripped them myself to ~1000 kbps FLAC and meticulously tagged and organized them into my current music collection.

CDs are unfortunately getting harder and harder to find and I’ve only very recently started torrenting a little again, and I prefer everything be FLAC but if it’s not available I still do have some 320kbps mp3 left in the collection.

“the cloud” is not a legitimate backup solution, and you’re doing people a disservice by advertising it as such. The majority of service providers are just as untrustworthy as spotify.

I truly hate modern windows but this isn’t the issue I’d choose to illustrate that. I recently installed Fedora for a few weeks and one of the first things I wanted to do was change the wallpaper. Turns out there are 3 completely different places you must go to change desktop wallpaper, lock screen wallpaper, and whatever the other one is. Pretty poor design.

I ended up going back to windows because there were laptop-related functions that I just could not get to work on Fedora.

Anybody know if these work with oat milk or almond milk? Does it froth?
