Yeah, that’s where I get about one third of my music. Another third is from Qobuz and the rest is converted from YT or somewhere else. Furthermore, I use MP3Tag and RSGain or Picard to organize the files and set replay gain tags so audio players can play the tracks with normalized volume.

For example.

Bad habits are usually caused by a larger underlying problem

Consider buying and/downloading your favorite tracks to make an offline library. In my case it was totally worth the effort. I get to keep it forever, everything plays instantly and I need no subscription or internet connection. Also I can still pay to stream for a month from time to time.

I see a lot of oversimplifying analogies in the comments, but in my opinion none of them take into account that users of AI don’t know how it works or its risks, and some AI like Grok offers inherently problematic and potentially harmful/illegal functionality

I actually read this in the tune of the Spongebob Squarepants intro

I actually don’t have experience with cats, but I can imagine they’re unpredictable

What a twist

That shortened headline phrasing is semantically ambiguous. With context it’s clear, but it can also be read as “Meta has caught paying nazis in order to post on Facebook”

A good run that ended a long time ago

How about you reply to this comment with another long essay about stalking me or something? I’ll measure how much time you take :D

(Just kidding)

I keep getting surprised by how quickly some users respond to my comments…

Reddit was the shit, now it is just shit

You say I perfectly summarized it, but to be honest, I haven’t even read the article… I am familiar with the topic at least and just put my thought about it into a laconic comment.

Generally one should only comment on an article after actually reading it.

Weaponized masculine insecurity

I have almost never purchased any games from all these shady companies like EA/ActiBliz/Sony/Microsoft. I usually prefer indie games and buy DRM-free stuff from GOG whenever possible. Yet, ironically it feels like I’m not doing my part because I have nothing to unsubscribe from or start boycotting.

I guess spreading the word is also a way to contribute.

Thanks for the advice, creepy sheepy

Yeah, be wary of lizard people

The concept of assists makes it even more interesting. I can think of a bunch of people who would have a huge number.

No need for that because by definition it’s only displayed above people’s heads. You can tell someone isn’t human if nothing is displayed over them.
