This is me. Lol.

I remember in COVID enjoying beer and whisky while roaming around the witcher 3. What an adventure. It was my first playthrough and I had all the expansions.

  • How old was your partner at the time?
  • How did you balance child care with school, was it one of your parents?
  • Did one of you have to drop out of high school as a result?

Back in March, Grade 12 students at Parkdale CI sent in senior quotes for the school’s yearbook. But when some students submitted “Free Palestine” and “Free Tibet” as their quotes, graduating Grade 12 student Remi Ajao-Russell said they were rejected. “Free Tibet” is associated with a political movement pushing for Tibet’s independence from China. The movement is supported by the Canadian government, with Parliament passing a motion in 2024 unanimously recognizing Tibetans’ right to self-determination.

“Our principal was not pleased with that,” Ajao-Russell said. “So she requested that they be removed and that those students pick another quote.”

While Ajao-Russell was not one of the students to submit these quotes they said some of their friends were and later asked for a meeting with the principal. At that meeting, Ajao-Russell said their friends said the principal gave students a list of approved quotes like “Palestine for Palestinians” and “I love Tibet.”

“Nothing that had any sort of quote unquote revolutionary spirit behind it,” Ajao-Russell said of the alternative quotes. Still, the students in the meeting agreed to use one of the new quotes. It wasn’t until these new quotes were later rejected and students held another “tense” meeting with the principal that the school decided to remove all Grade 12 quotes from the yearbook, said Ajao-Russell.

In an email sent to Parkdale CI staff and Grade 12 students at the end of April that was shared with the Star, school administrators said the decision came after “careful discussions” with senior members of Toronto District School Board and the TDSB’s human rights, legal and communications departments.

“In the interest of fairness, no grad comments will be included in this year’s yearbook,” the email reads. “The space originally designated for comments will remain blank and we will provide students time before graduation to sign and leave messages in each other’s yearbooks in that blank space.”

Administrators pointed to a September 2024 directive from the provincial Ministry of Education as part of its reasoning. That directive states that people are not allowed to “disseminate political biases into our classrooms” to avoid enabling “inflammatory, discriminatory and hateful content.”

“By taking this route,” administrators wrote in their email to students and staff, “we aim to balance students’ freedom of expression with our responsibility to adhere to the Ministry’s position.”

Administrators added that they recognize the ministry’s directive “may disproportionately impact equity-seeking groups.” The school email also said it was “not the first school to make this decision,” and that administrators believed their approach may become more common in the future. TDSB spokesperson Emma Moynihan did not say whether other schools had decided to remove their grad quotes when asked by the Star.

Probably going to see an uprise in things like lorawan or consumer-owned mesh networks.

There were protections in the first place?

 

Please help. I tried chatgpt, google, duckduckgo, I can't find it. The background tune is definitely reminding me of some trance track from the 2000's era and I can't figure it out.

...or am I crazy?

 

Samsung wanted this to be their week, and it still mostly is with the launch of the Fold 6, Flip 6, and the Galaxy Watch Ultra. However, Google’s upcoming Pixel 9 launch is incredibly close, so the leaks for it are only going to ramp up. Today, a fresh report is here to keep things moving toward that mid-August Pixel 9 event.

A site called Dealabs says they’ve uncovered information for the entire Pixel 9 family, giving us the storage configurations, colors of each device, and potential Euro pricing. Since we see information like this regularly before a launch, I’m just going to assume they found a retailer who slipped up early, even if they won’t say it.

So what do we know now about the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold? Let’s break it all down.

The Pixel 9 is now rumored to come in 4 different colors (Obsidian, Porcelain, Cosmo, and Mojito) and with two storage amounts (128GB or 256GB). Those models should then be priced at €899 and €999, respectively.

For the Pixel 9 Pro, we could see the following:

• Storage options, prices: 128GB (€1099), 256GB (€1199), 512GB (€1329)

• Colors: Obsidian, Porcelain, Hazel, Pink – The 512GB model might only come in Obsidian and Hazel.

For the Pixel 9 Pro XL, we could see the following:

• Storage options, prices: 128GB (€1199), 256GB (€1299), 512GB (€1429), 1TB (€1689)

• Colors: Obsidian, Porcelain, Hazel, Pink – The 512GB model might only come in Obsidian, Porcelain, and Hazel. The 1TB model might only launch in Obsidian.

And finally, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold could come in the following:

• Storage options, prices: 256GB (€1899), 512GB (€2029)

• Colors: Obsidian, Porcelain

What should we take from this? A couple of things. A lot of this sounds reasonable and the colors are all colors we have seen Google use before. The new one is Pink, and this information does not match up correctly to that pink Pixel 9 we saw earlier. Today’s leak suggests the Pixel 9 Pro will be the only device in pink, yet again, that’s not what we’ve already seen – it was a regular Pixel 9 in pink.

The other thing to keep in mind is that retailers who drop this info early, tend to either use placeholders or they use weird estimates on pricing that fluctuate. These prices do look more specific than we often seen from early retailer leaks, so that gives them some more weight.

And finally, you can’t simply take Euro pricing and just switch the symbol to a dollar sign. In other words, don’t automatically switch to the Pixel 9 starting at $899 here. It could! But this is not a suggestion or confirmation of that happening just yet. If anything, drop $100 off to $799 to match what Euro pricing looked like compared to US pricing for the Pixel 8 series.

Other than that, any other thoughts from you?

Spotify is officially raising its Premium subscription rates in the US come July, following reports of the move in April. The platform is increasing its Individual plan from $11 to $12 monthly and its Duo plan from $15 to $17 monthly — the same jump as last year's $1 and $2 price hikes, respectively. However, its Family plan is going up by a whopping $3, increasing from $17 to $20 monthly. The only subscribers getting a break are students, who will continue to pay $6 monthly.

Spotify announced the price hikes less than a year after its previous one last July. Before that, Spotify hadn't raised its fees since launching a decade and a half ago. I guess it was too optimistic to hope the next increase would also take that long, especially with Spotify's continued focus (and money dump) on audiobooks.

Premium subscribers should receive an email from Spotify in the next month detailing the price hike and providing a link to cancel their plan if they would prefer to do so. Users currently on a trial period for Spotify will get one month at $11 after it ends before being moved up to a $12 monthly fee.

 

I used to have a script that would check a text file that I had hosted on nextcloud so I could paste in spotify URI's whenever I wanted, then nightly it would run a bash script that would leverage spotify-ripper (https://github.com/hbashton/spotify-ripper). It would see if tracks were already downloaded, and skip them, and download anything missing. It would take care of the album art and ID3 tags and everything, straight from the source.

I've seen a few suggestions, like lidarr-extended, but that does not allow you to plug in spotify credentials, for example. There's zotify, and ZotifyFrontend, but looks like it's not really able to "sync". I also found DownOnSpot but that seems like Zotify but different.

Are there any good solutions anyone is using currently?
