cw: mens rights nonsense

my point: so if you feel like you don’t need some old guy rubbing your nose in a “deuteragonist" (I had to look up the word for that) “hey look at this kid who is a twitch streamer who is kinda black pilled, don’t be lame like this”, because you yourself are also over that, maybe skip this one

a few of my favorite very-online writers—but I’m think of Pargin and Jeb Lund (who for all I know don’t know each other at all) specifically here and not like, uh, Lockwood—are pretty good about using their veterans-of-forum-wars (or at least that era of online) past to be pretty strong voices for not being assholes on the internet.

kinda worry that sonos is never going to re-add direct stream urls to their first party apps or even fix the players to load the ones that are already there, and that think the fix is going to be a DIY sonos service app and not entire DIY controllers, which, unfortunately, seems to be the bias

they are, otherwise, goldilocks pieces of hardware for my specific preferences, so broader alternatives are not interesting
