  True, although Qobuz targets a slightly different audience.

  I even buy vinyls

  TIDAL pays much more to the artists anyway.

  There’s a word for that, “anemoia”.

  TIDAL HiFi is FLAC as far as I know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google confirms more ads on your paid YouTube Premium Lite soon⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  When I started listening to more obscure avantgarde records, I stopped believing in genres. I mean, take Mr Bungle for example. Twelve genres in four minutes. How would you even label that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google confirms more ads on your paid YouTube Premium Lite soon⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You can mix TIDAL and piracy; I use tidal-dl quite a lot. The problem with streaming services is that they can close shop in five minutes, and all of “your” music won’t be yours anymore.

  (I think Apple Music has similar tools.)

  Why?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Signal – an ethical replacement for WhatsApp⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If you leave WhatsApp, your chats will usually follow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Signal – an ethical replacement for WhatsApp⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You can help making it stronger. That’s what I did in Germany: if people want to contact me, I usually give them my Threema ID first, everything else comes later.

  Switzerland. ;-)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Signal – an ethical replacement for WhatsApp⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know - this hype about Matrix reminds me of XMPP which was similarly popular a decade ago. Today, nobody even remembers it anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Signal – an ethical replacement for WhatsApp⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Threema has a pretty big momentum in some countries.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Signal – an ethical replacement for WhatsApp⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Don‘t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Websites Are Tracking You Via Browser Fingerprinting⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Why is that even an option you can disable?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Websites Are Tracking You Via Browser Fingerprinting⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The more people disable JS, the more websites won’t require it.

  It sure does, and I am mentally prepared to move over to Hugo. I just haven’t had the inner calmness needed to do so just yet, and I probably won’t in the near future.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This Alternative Operating System Is Keeping Retro Computing Alive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I would really like to see someone adopt and modernize something like Plan 9 or Inferno.

  9front exists.

  There is an impressive array of reasons to dislike Automattic and its software. My introduction was meant to avoid a lengthy discussion about those, because it would exceed the scope of my post. Alas, I failed.

  If you prefer Rust, yaydl (disclosure: I wrote it) would be an alternative. (Patches welcome - right now, I much depend on Invidious to get YouTube contents.)

• I wonder if sharing movies over BitTorrent is legal as several neural networks are there as well, and they learn from the movies being shared.

  Maybe there were days when all Usenet servers had all hierarchies. I’m probably too young.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spottarr: A modern spotnet client and index for your *arr apps.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In a way, Lemmy is essentially a reimplementation of Usenet. Decentralized, federated forums.

  Usenet was never really “federated”. All servers mirror slightly different hierarchies (with the free ones usually focusing on text and the commercial ones focusing on binary files).

  What server do you use?
