This was apparently done by a sniper, so not really a conceal carry thing.

Matrix seems to work well. I’m on a smallish non-profit server.
The worst problem is that there are really no channels that I care to follow.

It didn’t make him smarter, it allowed him to think about something else besides the pain.
As far as I know, that’s 99% the reason why people use drugs.

How do you manipulate Bluesky?
The same way you manipulate Twitter, by tweaking the algorithm.

It’s a huge turn off to be with someone who thing you are lower than them. Who thinks you don’t deserve basic human rights.
While I don’t disagree with this theory, I wonder why you would think that this is a recent development.

- Comment on YSK that Gerrymandering allows politicians to choose their own voters. In many countries, it's illegal. Gerrymandering is common in the United States 5 weeks ago:
I mean yeah but it feels stupider to me. Like bumping your head on something repeatedly then seeing somebody else bump their head, laugh at them and then bump your own head again. Like political slapstick.

Both sides have had opportunities to make it illegal and neither have done it. I wonder why.

- Comment on After laying off 9,000 employees , Microsoft records $27.2 billion profit in latest quarter 1 month ago:
How would one working at said company who wants to work NOT get laid off?
To get a sense of proportions…
www.macrotrends.net/stocks/…/number-of-employees
So they’ve added 100 000 people in about 10 years and are now laying of 9000.
Probably by a combination of 1) not being incredibly incompetent / toxic and 2) not being unlucky enough to be one of the very very few that are doing something management thinks is not needed.
- Comment on After laying off 9,000 employees , Microsoft records $27.2 billion profit in latest quarter 1 month ago:
The layoffs happened just recently, this profit has nothing to do with them. We’ll see in the next few quarters what the effect of these layoffs will be.

This highlights a fundamental misunderstanding on how companies are supposed to operate.
- Comment on YSK: Deezer, the music streaming service, is owned by a company whose Founder and CEO is a Russian Oligarch with connections to the Kremlin and donates to the American Republican party. 1 month ago:
We know this because Weird Al used his year-end video to make the world aware that, in return for his tens of millions of streams, he got around $80.00 from Spotify for a whole year.
How does that work? 10 million streams pays more than $20k in royalties.

Guess how much money the artists get when you do that?

That way the artists get even less than with Spotify.

I bet there’s some Linux application that is able to connect to it and create a virtual output device you can pick for the tidal app, or any other audio.
That might be possible, but the native Spotify uses Spotify Connect, which means that the device can independently play the music. I just issue it commands from the client.
A similar thing exists for Tidal: Tidal Connect. But unfortunately the Linux client does not support it. Android, MacOS and iOS do, though.

Yeah seems to me that Spotify is the way to go. And for the artists you really like, buy the album or donate to them in addition to listening them via streaming.
