Got it, that makes sense. Thanks for taking the time to write this up!

So, I keep meaning to look into this but I come from the wrong background to have an intuitive grasp of the pieces at play here. My work is primarily in back end systems development for data driven models and I have very little understanding of how networking elements interact or even what they are, for the most part. If someone with that background is reading these comments and willing to take the time, would you be able to provide an explanation for the differences between Manifest V2/V3 and how V3 prevents ad blockers from working?
I did, back in… 2005-6? Somewhere around there. I’m from the US, so the first part of your comment applies to me, but at the time iTunes let you put music from the CDs you owned into your collection, and made it very easy to load music onto an iPod. I was 16, with some of my first disposable income from my first job. Couldn’t get music easily from anything but CDs or iTunes (Or Kazaa/Limewire, but that’s a different story) at the time so it just made sense. Around the time I realized I was locked into the platform by my purchases I stopped buying there and started streaming or buying CDs again.
Been just thinking about one of my favorite SNES era games – Illusion of Gaia. If you’re doing emulation, highly recommend. I’m in the process of picking up a SNES and functioning cart to play it myself for the first time in a decade.
Check out ENV – Some of my favorite lyric-less music. There are a couple of playlists on YouTube with their albums. Firefrost is a good song to start with.
I’m curious how far that stance goes. I live in an apartment and own a small breed dog. I work from home, so I’m with her all day. Additionally, she gets a minimum one mile walk in the morning regardless of weather or season, and the same after work in the evening. I’ve trained her since she was a puppy to be silent. She doesn’t bark at all, the most noise she makes is some light whining when one of her favorite people come over.
In your opinion, should I not own her? Obviously I think I should, and feel like I’ve done my due diligence to provide exercise, entertainment, and training to give her and my neighbors a high quality of life. But I’m curious if your stance holds in every circumstance.
What a wild ride of a read that was. Reminds me a bit of when I first got to college. Glad things started going well for you.
