I find Spotify's suggestion algorithm pretty dumb. I listened 2 songs of Tinariwen (north african, touareg band) my whole Discover weekly list got filled by African Music.
I marked each one as not liked, next week, still a bunch of African groups show up.
I want you to read my mind and my emotions Spotify. It shouldn't be that easy to label me as "afro music lover"- It fucking sucks, it's been trying to pawn shitty french music since I joined... I've NEVER listened to anything in french, ever. And it still can't figure outzarkonite
- I like DJs. It's always trying to pitch some random artists in my suggestions. I guess it must be good if you're into top 40?zarkonite
- Tinariwen is good. Spotify is right.BK
- think you misread that BK, spotify suggestions suck balls. Wish you could turn that feature off.kingsteven

When I download a jpg from my browser, chrome will convert it to a webp file.
Anyone have a solution to my #fwp
- I know this. I Screenshot it instead of downloading.Longcopylover
- Windows or Mac? I'm on Mac and never had this issue.fadein11
- fuck chrome, and google. get firefox insteadhans_glib
- Same happens to me, I installed a chrome extension that gives you a right-click option to save as .pngBaskerviIle
- FF!OBBTKN
- Firefox forever!Bennn
- Firefox is amongst the best browser for privacy : https://lifehacker.c…Bennn
- with Tor and Brave!Bennn
- If not too concerned w/ privacy/security there's a lot of online conversion sites, just google "webp to [your format]"koma_
- doesn't happen every time but disrupts my flow. nobody have time for third party conversions. I may just move to firefox.hotroddy
- Firefox is great, the syncing is flawlessBennn

They cancelled my flight to Taiwan via Shanghai tomorrow but managed to rebook me direct to Taipei leaving on Friday - a day later. I was really cross because all my stuff is in storage and I already paid for the accommodation they day I was meant to arrive.

So things went from bad to worse. I arrived at the airport on the 31st and tried to checkin for my flight to Taiwan and I was denied a boarding pass.
Turns out, and I sort of knew this, that my passport needs to be valid 6 months for entry into Taiwan the day I arrive. My passport WOULD have been valid, as I had timed to arrive there on 31 January. Unfortunately, because of the corona virus situation, I was now arriving on Feb 2nd - which meant my passport would now only be valid 5 months from date of arrival.
And so I was refused at the airport. The edibles I had taken just hit me as I stood at the checkout counter, mouth aghast, wondering what the fuck i do now - my apartment rented out to someone else, my stuff in storage, big suitcases by my side - nowhere to go.
In the end, i managed to get the last flight from Montreal to Manchester, at the cost of over $1,000 - add to that the 1000s i'd blown on my ticket to Taiwan, no longer valid, and the acomodation I'd booked there i couldn't refund.
So now I'm staying at my mum's house in England for a couple of weeks until I regroup. Which I guess saves me $1000 in terms of what i would have spent in Taiwan on fun and entertainment.
I have onward tickets from Taipei to Philippines then to Tokyo and accomodation already booked - so i need to get to Manila on Feb 13th - and shell out for another flight - but now i'm reading corona just killed someone in Philippines and i don't know what's going to happen with that.
But i'm going to persevere with the 3 months of travelling I had planned no matter what. Even though I'm out $2000+ now for nothing. Thankfully im' prettty affluent and have a thriving business so i can take the hit.
Anyway, FML right now.
- I'm going to hire a car and drive around Japan and see the cherry blossoms blooming and possibly spend a week at a Zen retreat. Planning itinerary now.Khurram
- Whoa.
Intense @Khurram, BUT consider you're alive AND living life in a non -traditional way. #Godspeed
: )ideaist - Thanks ideaist! Definitely a first world problems situation. But like my Murphy's, i'm not bitter :))Khurram
- Was really excited about Taiwan though. Been watching new Taiwanese cinema for months in excitement. Next year after I renew my passport!Khurram
- And I just been reading how racist Japanese society is - people don't even sit next to you on the bus if you're black/brown. Probably more to come in this storyKhurram
- Sounds like you’re your own worst enemy. Earlier passport renewal. And ingesting local drugs after you land. May be a better move next time. ;)BH26
- Yeah I was a bit blase about the whole situation. Esp regarding passport. But the edibles, my plan was to go "clean" for 3 months so i took them for the plane..Khurram
- so to be sober when i land. Then i don't do any drugs (even alcohol) for the duration of the trip. Not that being high made any difference in this situation.Khurram
- Where you plan to go in Philippines? Manila is kind of a polluted mess but some of the smaller islands are amazing.yuekit
- Japan > Taiwan all day.stoplying
- @yuekit - Siargao - small surfer island in the south. Those islands look amazing for sure. 4 weeks there, signed up to an MMA gym and plans to surfKhurram
- @stoplying! ;) I was waaay more excited to go to Taiwan. And now i'm determined to do it next winter. From the traveller forum i've been on Taiwan is an...Khurram
- extremely liveable and affordable developed country. Plus it has none of the racism Japan, S Korea and CHina have. Very tolerant society. And, as mentioned..Khurram
- I've been obsessed with Taiwanese new wave cinema for the last two months so i was looking forward to it the most. Plus they have better beaches/surfingKhurram
- And it's not an either or situation, right? I spent time in Singapore, Hong Kong winter 2019 so Tokyo was a bucket list thing that was going to happen anyway.Khurram
- Ah nice...that's actually where I went last time I was in Philippines (Siargao). Amazing place, really breathtaking.yuekit
- I'm not a surfer but it's a great island to ride around on a motorbike and explore. The landscape is mind-blowing, like you were dropped into a simulationyuekit
- where someone cloned too many palm trees :) You'll see what I mean when you get there.yuekit
- yeah man, so pumped. Was deciding between that or Boracay. I should have been there in beginning of January but seems like everything was against meKhurram

FML!
Just got an email from my Canadian phone company (Fido) 6 days after arriving in Japan that they are cancelling all roaming talk, text & data charges to customers travelling abroad until April 30th.
That's after I shelled out $115 (canadian dollars) on an unlimited data plan SIM card with Japanese company Sakura Mobile. What a rip off!
Serious, FML FML FML!!!
- Softened the pill by cancelling all my Airbnb thanks to their corona virus full refund policy and rebooked bargains with Booking.com *sigh*Khurram
- digital quarantinehotroddy
- Fucking fido. I remember being with them when I lived in Hfx ... fucking gougers.Continuity
- I'm going to swap out my Japanese SIM and fucking RAPE their free international roaming data. I know it's petty of me but I'm very cross!Khurram
