@electricbraindump Oh lots of my collection has been digital downloads as well. I love Qobuz. The downloads are as high fidelity as it comes and the file types aren't tied to any platform. Plus it's not one of the major tech companies (like Apple or Google) who's getting the % cut. But I've been trying to get the physical media when I can too. Nice to be able to listen fully off my computer. 😊

Idk what Pastel is, but this is an interesting look into one of the reasons so many things have turned into subscriptions nowadays. Totally makes sense for software, which is a good perspective for me to keep in mind since I often feel exhausted by how many subs and accounts the modern world seems to ask of you. Thanks for sharing, Steve.

@RyanHyde Nonprofit database manager is a cool niche! I'm in my first year as a data analyst, using SQL & Power BI, learning Python. I'm in the music industry right now but have long thought about how I can use data skills to help good companies do good things in the world. Glad to have found you. 🙏
@diazona Same. Far from pro level player, but I do enjoy playing in some competitive rec leagues and the likes! I hear you on club games. I love the UFA though for the ease of keeping up with teams and streaming and such. Can follow it like I would baseball or football, ya know? And the added visibility it brings the sport from the occasional ESPN coverage is pretty cool. #UltimateFrisbee
@electricbraindump "slow fashion". love that. what kind of music are you listening to? i've been starting an owned media collection in the last year or two. enjoying buying CD's again. 🙂
@hilljam @shannoncurtis aww thanks, Jamie! Great to connect with you here. I appreciate your meme game of other spheres. But a Zuck-free community is long overdue in my life. 🫶
@diazona And you post about Python? I’m currently learning Python (for data work, largely). … And let’s make ultimate a more prevalent topic! 🥏 do you play and/or watch the UFA (AUDL)?
@jay ayyy! Love coming across an AUDL post on my first day on Mastodon.
@Bluedonkey what tourney was it?
@hilljam that’s what’s up! 🫶
