  Pretty sure Spotify approves of it. They don’t care about artists they are there for profit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify is finally launching support for lossless music streaming⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Lossless music doesn’t matter when it’s all AI generated crap.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Love Letter To Internet Relay Chat⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure if that project will go anywhere, it doesn’t seem like it from the GitHub. Though from the people I’ve talked to, they like IRC because it’s simple without things like reactions and etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Love Letter To Internet Relay Chat⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I love the idea of Matrix but gah it’s so damn slow and moderation/permissions are a nightmare.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jajajaja⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that’s something more common in Mexico iirc. It is weird but guessing cheaper than plastic cups

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Like a heart⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Love your username

  Honestly I thought their vpn was only on paid plans. Kinda impressed they offer it free. I assume it’s a way to get people into the ecosystem and also use their email and etc

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chrome VPN Extension With 100k Installs Screenshots All Sites Users Visit⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ya if you are hosting it yourself then pretty different. I use them for a basic Nextcloud server myself. Their ARM servers are dirt cheap even when you have to go above their free generous cores and ram.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chrome VPN Extension With 100k Installs Screenshots All Sites Users Visit⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Didn’t even know they offered a free vpn. I thought it was only on paid plans. Shrugs, I already use mullvad

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chrome VPN Extension With 100k Installs Screenshots All Sites Users Visit⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Any free VPN is a scam.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tried naming the states from memory as a European⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  lol this feels bad as a Coloradan

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People were mad because they lost their AI boyfriend after GPT-4o deprecation⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  One of the recent posts has someone with an engagement ring like they are getting married to an AI… it’s sad, I feel like society as really isolated and failed many groups of people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Imagine being a billionaire, running one the most powerful, corporations in the United States, and prostrating yourself to Donald Trump in this very public and embarrassing way.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe in the early days when the Apple II was hot on the market but idk even then. Capitalist are going to do their capitalism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Imagine being a billionaire, running one the most powerful, corporations in the United States, and prostrating yourself to Donald Trump in this very public and embarrassing way.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ya but I am pretty sure Google has done a lot to help Trump. Any big tech company wants to be on the good side of Trump.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Imagine being a billionaire, running one the most powerful, corporations in the United States, and prostrating yourself to Donald Trump in this very public and embarrassing way.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly I am pretty sure this is a bribe to exempt Apple from tariffs. Billionaires care more about their profit than children being harm. It’s the sad truth.

  Step one: install Linux

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gamers Bombard Visa & MasterCard With Emails and Calls Over Steam and itch.io Censorship⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ya I feel really conflicted about it but I do think the outcome in the long run is good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gamers Bombard Visa & MasterCard With Emails and Calls Over Steam and itch.io Censorship⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I just sum it up to a failure of capitalism . The fact that two companies have so much power over this without having to pass any laws or legislation is really the worrying part. I just hope people continue to fight even after this one thing is resolved. Otherwise it will happen again because that’s how capitalism works

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft admits it would have to let Trump spy on EU data if demanded⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean yes duh but wouldn’t it be great to have European owned data centers running Linux?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft admits it would have to let Trump spy on EU data if demanded⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Why are there no major competitors outside the USA? Is there no “Silicon Valley” in the EU?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gamers Bombard Visa & MasterCard With Emails and Calls Over Steam and itch.io Censorship⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s impressive how much people get riled up about not getting porn. I don’t blame them but I also don’t see this as activism, I doubt anyone really spending the time on this cares about possible future censorship that others who are not them may face, they just want to buy their porn.

  Remember the good ol days where Netflix had everything you could watch for a cheap subscription price.

  Does anyone have a link to a non paywalled version

  I’ve found the docker version very easily to maintain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Matrix cooked?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Also there are not many competitors to Matrix. Just XMPP for the most part. SimpleX and Signal are not good at supporting chat rooms with large amounts of people. Telegram does it okay but isn’t decentralized.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Study: Remote working benefits fathers while childless men miss sense of community⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You know there are always outliers because research often looks at populations in general and not the exact experience of a specific person. Unless it’s a case study but that’s different.

  Either way that’s a really good thing for you, the modern world makes it difficult to make and keep close to friends.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fyre Festival is becoming a music streaming service that might not be a scam this time⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems pointless. There are a ton of existing music streaming services. It’s a cut throat slim profit margin business.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Angry, disappointed users react to Bluesky's upcoming blue check mark verification system⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s what Twitter had and most people on blueksy just want Twitter before Elon. It sucks but that is really what the majority of people even want. They don’t care about the decentralized stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Angry, disappointed users react to Bluesky's upcoming blue check mark verification system⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Tbh I’ve seen more people asking for this than the people complaining.
