  Qobuz

  For anyone checking this thread in the future. Qobuz does seem to be the only one not owned by demons. Deezer’s owner was personally sanctioned by Ukraine for his support of the invasion, Spotify pays artists incredibly poorly (and is partially owned by Tencent and Black Rock), Tidal’s largest shareholders are investment banks and Black Rock, and Napster is owned in-part by Live Nation.

  Ugh.

  Just more newspeak, like Trump calling everything he posts online “truths” while being nothing but lie after lie.

  I love Libby! I listen to audiobooks with it all the time.

  Other fun library facts:

  • If you don’t like leaving the house, lots of libraries let you sign up for a card online
  • In addition to books, they usually have ebooks and audiobooks online, as well as DVDs and CDs at your local branch
  • You should visit your local library and see if they have other things…some have video games, or kitchen/cooking equipment, there are often classes or presentations, all free
• YSK if you have a library card or are a student, there's a free streaming service called Kanopywww.kanopy.com ↗

  You can totally turn it off in a couple clicks or leave it on if you want it. Other tech companies take note, this is how you do it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Texas Needs Equivalent of 30 Reactors to Meet Data Center Power Demand⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Every Texan I know has a generator to deal with the unreliability of the grid, and there’s never been an article about someone in Iowa getting a surprise $100k electric bill…and the average wage in Texas is substantially lower than in “left wing” states like California or Washington…so not sure you’re making an apples-to-apples comparison, but time will be the judge, we can all check-in in a year and see how this plays out. Does Lemmy have a remind me! bot?

  Is this a midwest thing? It feels like a midwest thing.

  The one state that refuses to connect to the interstate power grid and has Uber-like surge pricing on electricity? Yeah, I’m sure this won’t result in regular people footing the bill for more billionaire profits.

  Texas is a joke, but not a good one.

  Being mad about this instead of Dave Coulier “dating” Alanis Morisette when he was in his 30s and she was 17 is like being mad at Obama about wearing a tan suit and not all the drone bombings or mass-deportations.

  We’re bad at picking what to be pissed about.
