Popular VS Selling Out?

I've never understood the mindset that some #music fans have about an artist when they become successful. If they're still putting out music that engages, challenges, and yes - entertains you - that's a good thing. There's a difference between "selling out" & being popular.

Being popular would seem to mean that people are aware of you, discuss you, and enjoy your music.

I recall a period of time where Alternative/Goth bands/artists would say "I don't want to be popular." OK, you want to be GOOD at what you do, I get it. Still not a bad thing.

Windows 11?

PC name        Annika
Processor    Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
Installed RAM    20.0 GB (19.9 GB usable)
System type    64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

 I can't believe Microsoft thinks this isn't good enough for Windows 11.

Useful Windows Shortcuts

This is from a text file I've been keeping on my PC for ages & I've been editing it as time goes on. I'm uploading it in case anyone else finds it useful.

Virtual desktop = Windows key + CTRL L OR R arrow
Clipboard manager = Windows key & V
Emoji picker = Windows key & . (period or full stop)
PrintScreen = Screenshot
Alt + PrintScreen = Current window snapshot
Win + Shift + S = Screen snipping
WIN + X & U & U = Shut down now
Win + + = Zoom in
Win + - = Zoom out
Win + I = Settings
Win + A = Notication panel
Win + L = Lock
Win + K = Wireless Connections
Win + CTRL + C = Color Picker (via PowerToys)
Win + CTRL + T = Toggle window sticky focus

Writing

I should write more. I want to - it's laziness that's winning over sometimes. The real trick to writing comes down to 2 things:

1) a topic, & 2) discipline.

 

Without those it's stream of consciousness writing like Michael Stipe does; only he does better it than I.

 

So I suppose a low key vibe like a blog is a good place to start. Sometimes longer thoughts happen & I need a place to put them that don't really fit on Twitter.
