Hopefully the pushback on Apple including promos, commercials and interviews in Music playlists, will get them to reverse that decision.

Sad to read that Vangelis passed away. His music definitely influenced my interest in synths and music in general. 🎢

The last Android device I purchased was a Nexus 6p. It was the last of the Nexus line and marked a shift for how Google does devices. It was also the beginning of my “degoogling”. Anyhow, the 6p wasn’t a very good device and most of them started boot looping, mine had not yet experienced this, but Google was nice enough to send me a Pixel 1 replacement. I’ve had this mostly in a drawer as a backup device since then. Today I decided to wipe and replace Google Android with LineageOS. Lineage has great instructions and the process was mostly painless. Now I have a mostly Google free Android device(no gapps) and have been installing the apps I need from F-Droid. I also spun up Syncthing and used KDEConnect for some clipboard sharing to get things setup,. These are great tools for local cross platform file sharing and device control.

First episode of “Strange New Worlds” nailed it. The title sequence, theme music, plot, characters… all of it. This is good Star Trek. πŸŽ₯πŸ––

Our Flame Azelea starting to bloom.

Recapturing your youth does not mean getting wasted all the time, it means having a regular bowel movement and sleeping like a normal person.
