    Finally someone else that uses Soulseek. It's been around for years and is the best place to download whole albums or discographies in high quality.

  • [Woj] Free agent Russell Westbrook has agreed on a two-year, nearly $8M deal to stay with the Clippers, agent Jeff Schwartz of @Excelbasketball tells ESPN. Deal includes player option.
  • rskn rskn Now 100%

    I'm baffled at this deal after all the overpays we've been seeing. He must like it in LA and found a team that suits him because the Clippers got a damn bargain.

    Hopefully he could take some pressure off PG and Kawhi and set them up for a good run.

    I just found out about Connect today and have been loving it.

    I've been a paid Sync user for more years than I know, and am so glad they're coming over to Lemmy. However, in the meantime, Connect is pretty great for basic posting/reading needs.

    Someone can probably explain the Fediverse far better than I could. Simple explanation though is that any instance you're on you can see things from others as well.

    I've paid for Sync (I forget how many) years ago and have loved it since. I'm so happy you all are switching over and building a app for Lemmy.

    Cormac McCarthy, Author of ‘The Road’ and ‘No Country for Old Men,’ Dead at 89
  • rskn rskn Now 100%

    I cross posted this into the News instance when it happened and posted there, but I have a huge amount of respect for him so I'll double up.

    In my 30s, I came across Cormac’s writing and was immediately drawn to his style. The Road, in particular, resonated with me after just having my son. Someone recommended it to me, and it just so happened to be shortly after my son was born, and I think it had a significant impact on the way I parent and interact with my children. He’s definitely one of my favorite authors and definitely definitely had an impact on my life. https://lemmy.world/comment/163480

    Thanks for everything Mr. McCarthy.

    Do you mean that it helped you cope with the flipside of joy and fear that comes with having a child?

    You hit the nail on the head. Along with self sacrifice and making difficult decisions for the well-being of a child, The Road brings these topics to the forefront.

    And thanks for the heads up! I've been really into PKD lately, but after hearing this news, I might need to work my way back through McCarthy.

    I haven't heard of LitCharts before, but I might have to give it a try. I tried reading Gravity's Rainbow and basically gave up. This might've saved me.

    I've had Blood Meridian on my Kindle for a while now, but haven't had the chance to read it yet. After hearing this news, I think I'll make it my next read.

    Either way, you will be missed and thank you for staying with it even when you were destitute.

    Well. Said.

    > McDonald's isn't the only company to pull off a retro-gaming-themed PR gambit today. Atari is also releasing a new game for the Atari 2600, an announcement that also served to drum up interest in its upcoming title Mr. Run and Jump. If Halliburton announces a new Sega Master System game about fracking in the next 24 hours, I'll know someone is messing with me.

    I'm working on someone else's code right now and when I think I fixed one thing I break three more. I'm at the point where I just want to build this thing from scratch.

    This is the sentiment I've been rolling with. I normally don't post often, but since the move I've created an instance and posted more than ever.

    We have to make what we want. once we have enough content for people to be interested, the users and community will come.

    > The indictment says that Mr. Trump not only took from the White House classified documents that he was not authorized to possess but also that he showed them to visitors and political cronies at his country club. One of the documents involved a potential attack on another country, which The New York Times has reported was Iran. “Isn’t it amazing?” he asked one visitor, brandishing the document. During that conversation Mr. Trump acknowledged that he knew the document was “a secret,” the indictment said.
