Yes it’s quite similar to the scrobbling and recommendations of last.fm!

Listenbrainz has decent recommendations

Fun fact, during the same trip he also mentioned that doctors assisting abortions are hired killers.

A local extreme right MP had his ties to Chinese spies laid bare this year, did not even make a dent in the polls.

The elections will be brutal…

It’s a very intersting viewpoint, pardon me for exploring further. So future you (or me) is also dead until the brief flash of life where yours and his consciousness finally overlap, before lapsing into nothingness again.

It’s very reasonable even, to think everything not experienced this very moment is totally alien to us.

Thanks for stretching my grey matter on this dull day!

By that rationale, wouldn’t other people then also be dead, as you cannot experience their consciousness?

Ex-banker president targets banks… Now that’d be quite an unexpecred headline! Shame it’ll never be.

I’m from a country in western Europe, and our pharmacies are running low. My dad was told several times over the last months that they’re out of stock and he should come back next week. Sure, the price here might be okay, but Pharma seems to prefer selling it more expensively elsewhere.

Olauncher - very minimal, no distractions. Shows the app’s full name instead of icons, handfull of links on the main page, the rest can be found in the app drawer in a long list of app names.

Edit: just saw the mention here of mlauncher, an open source fork. Making the switch now 🙂

Hell yea! Subscribed!

Do give Russell’s History of Western Philosophy a try. It places those books into a much needed context. When I first picked up that book, it was out of a hope to learn more about philosophy, but after finishing it, I only had those three books on my ‘definitely must read’ list. I know there’s a companion book to Das Kapital written by David Harvey, but he’s not the easiest to read either. And Marx, omfg, that mofo has a way of dancing around things for pages on end through the most labyrinthine sentences, so I can definitely commiserate! It took me months to get through the whole thing. Luckily I was in the middle of a move, without TV or computer, so that helped a lot :)

Plato’s Republic.

I got really interested by its description in Bertrand Russell’s History of Western Philosophy. After reading the book, I realized how arbitrary the setup of current society is. Then I followed it up with More’s Utopia and Marx’ Das Kapital. A true Big Bang for my political views.
