I totally missed it; yesterday it's been five years since the almighty LG Petrov left us.
I met him when we organized a gig for Entombed AD in Sarajevo; one of my favorite nights ever, and a person I got to meet through the amazing work we did as booking agents.

Everything has gone to...
In January 2023, @npub1fdr…lvhs used the term "enshittification" on his blog, pluralistic.net, to describe the deterioration process of the TikTok network.
Enshittification consists of four stages:
1. Platforms are good for users
2. Platforms abuse users to be good for business customers
3. Platforms abuse business customers to keep all the profit
4. Platforms die

So, Bluesky CEO Jay Graber, fast forwarding down the road of PR catastrophe, starts cynically suggesting we should take “poster strike”, so I have decided to take her up on that offer.
I had enough of Zuckerbergs and Musks of the world, earning trillions by us using their platforms. So I’m off Bluesky. This is a prime example of “fuck around and find out” philosophy in practice.

Nothing fancy. Everday work. Browsing, access to online services, a few games, although I can go without that.
Only thing that keeps me tied to Windows is Scrivener (there was a Linux beta, but it's unsupported, and I really don't want to mess with my novel now), and Adobe, which I heavily use, mainly Audition and plugins for podcast editing.

I can't remove windows because of Scrivener and Adobe package. I think I would use windows only for those, and Linux for other, regular stuff.

2025-09-28 20:35:15 UTC

Ok, Linux people.
The end of the support for Windows 10. I'm certainly not paying for support, so I'm thinking dual boot. Linux distro for everyday work, isolated windows for software that is not on Linux.
Which distro do you recommend?

This is me (playing bass) with my first band ever called Rapa Nui. This was officially our first gig, although the first one happened a few months before this one, in Sarajevo, in front of the then-demolished Youth House.
Back then, I hated melodic punk, feeling the buzz from bands like Motorhead and different extreme metal and grindcore artists.
However, in 2016, I rediscovered an old favorite.
This is a story of how Bad Religion made me start listening to punk rock, and became one of my favorite bands: https://arnel.bearblog.dev/how-i-started-believing-in-bad-religion/

Dear Fediverse,
My band POPIK just released its second full-length.
https://popik.bandcamp.com/album/brzi-i-grozni
I think we amplified the metal influence on this album compared to the previous ones, which is expected from three metalheads who listen to punk.
Thematically, we've pursued new sources of irritation: cocky young bands, the diaspora spreading hate speech, former employers, and the cultural scene in Sarajevo.
Also - the first Bosnian hardcore song - in SWEDISH!
If you like what you hear, feel free to send a few pennies our way, and I promise we'll reinvest them in making more music.

The biggest problem with the Carrie remake is the fact that Chloe Grace Moretz looks like an angel, while Sissy Spacek looks like a total weirdo, although she's a beautiful woman.
The best thing about the Carrie remake is Julianne Moore. She's amazing. The finals of both movies are equally chaotic.
It's a decent remake, just as I remember it from the cinema.

i find it so strange people are buying these pickles solo. Here, we have them in huge jars, and they're part of what si known as "winter salad", something you prepare before winter and store.
You also get sauerkraut (cabbage), peppers, even onions which are my favourite.
