Tangentially related: Barber also wrote his Adagio for Strings as an Agnus Dei. It's great.

Who ever thought it sounded good this way? I think it's because headphones weren't widely used back then. in c/[email protected]

I vaguely recall there being a stereo record needle explanation for this.

"Ubuntu" is Zulu for "can't install Debian".

Wait, really? I've had it disabled for a while for other reasons. I'm safe from a Win11 forced upgrade?

PSA: The Lemmy federation convention of hotlinking images to other peer federation servers makes it easy for a rogue instance to collect end-user IP addresses & browser strings, don't assume otherwise in c/[email protected]

A "solution" to this might be for lemmy instances/apps to have the option to "load remote images" the way e-mail providers do. So I have to actively click to load the images. Could even be done per subscription, so I could declare that I just want everything loaded when I see lemmy.ml/c/pics but not in general, where I usually want text.
