  You’re not wrong. There are lots of holier-than-thou types around here.

  😎 If you’re not compiling your own kernel 🏋🏼‍♂️ you’re missing out on substantial gains 💪🏼. Just drink a little Nix shake in the morning 🤙🏼, then hit your favorite systemd alternative GitHub pages and pull the nightly. You’ll be so swole bro, you’ll be Goddify. 🎶

  Agreed, most comments are miserable, toxic, old man yells at cloud, energy. More and more, so.

  I get where you’re coming from, but it’s not like there aren’t multiple obvious alternatives (and not just on the fediverse). And someone clued in enough to boycott Spotify should have no trouble finding those alternatives.

  And the platform being owned by an outright Nazi should give even the most out of touch people pause.

    So what is there for normies? YouTube which is also owned by a fascist company. Deezer which is shit. Apple which is another fascist company that supports trump. Tidal which has also had its fair share of controversy ( not paying artists), shit ui etc.

    And if you mention the fediverse people will look at you like you speak an alien language.

      Most of those are lesser evils compared to X, and that’s probably the best you can hope for. And Bluesky is the obvious alternative lesser evil choice of you want a like for like replacement and aren’t open to Mastodon.

        Oh you were talking about social media. I was talking about music services.

        Fair enough then. I agree there is no excuse to still use X

    Additionally, the platform being owned by an outright Nazi should give even the most out of touch people pause.

    How is Daniel Ek a nazi? That’s a wild take if I’ve ever heard one.

      I thought it was clear from context I was talking about X.

  No… It’s just laziness let’s not sugar coat it. You have the wealth of human knowledge in your pocket, knowledge of how to do absolutely anything and everything for free on a silver platter, all you have to do is prioritize exploring ethical technology choices. Complexity of the problem itself is not a good excuse to not learning to solve it as it continues to become a bigger problem.
