Enjoy Spotify on FreeBSD

@stefano so true ... Ma penso che in italiano voi dite... Mannaggia....

@stefano WOW! In my case the person pretended to be my boss, and asked me to send him money in for apple gift cards... It sounded suspicious as hell, but I felt for it because I was new in the company. It was second week at the job and I didn't know anyone in the company well enough to make the correct judgement call.

I found the whole thing to be embarrassing because my major is in Cyber Security. To say I felt stupid, would be understatement of the year

@stefano Damn! That sucks!

@stefano As embarrassing as it may be, I once was scammed by someone pretending to be the owner of the company where I worked. I lost approximately $1,000

However, I did learn my lesson and checking the email address of any suspicious email is the first thing I do now

Good morning FreeBSDnauts!

Has any of you got #spotify-payer working?

Lol! For whatever reason, using GhostBSD make me feel like a cheater!

But then again…
It works and I am cool with that!
