Had a great time sharing music with Cousino HS of Warren, MI. For fun, Southern Thumb music (us) and Cousino had a little battle of the bands before the parade.

### Go Fund Me Suspends Funds for Freedom Convoy
- Just like Centralized Banking, Centralized anything can be a bad idea.

### Apple Music free trial period went from 3 months to 1 month.
- The Free month music trial now requires AirPods, HomePod, or Beats Purchase
- On a positive note, they're offering 6 months free for new subscribers that purchase either: AirPods Pro, AirPods 2, 3, Max, Beats and HomePod mini.
- The individual plan is $9.99 a month and family plan is $14.99 a month.
- When you die, you own nothing, and it all goes to the state.
- Spotify still offers a free three-month trial for new subscribers and you don't have to buy over-price hipster gear to get it.

### Satya Nadella says that Microsoft has "permission to build the next internet"
- I trust him a lot more than creepy Bill Gates.
- When he talks about building the next internet, he is referring to when they build great games, it gives them permission to "essentially" build the next internet: the embodied presence.
- If you haven't guess where he is going with this by now, he's starting to sound a little bit like Zuckerberg. Metaverse.
- Honestly, I think Metaverse is garbage if it's not decentralized. It will not be a good thing if there is one keyholder. We all need keys to this.
- When you're never disconnected, these companies always have their eyes on you - and you keep making them money. It's all about them keeping you "immersed" - That's their words, paraphrased.

### Facebook losing users, money
- Excellent
- Lets hope this trend continues.
- When a company that's handled our data in such a reckless manner, this is what they deserve.
- This is the first time in their 18-year history that Facebook has lost users.
- TikTok is booming, however, and that's not helping Facebook
- The only thing good about Facebook is Marketplace. There are endless ways to connect with your family and friends that does not funnel through a company that will sell everything they can about you in order to make their dirty money.

It has been some time since I gave Garuda Linux a look. Is it easy to use, does it "just work"? Watch me use it, including a few stutters I ran into along the way.
