  Probably throw in a bit of “just world” delusion in the mix, to make things worse.

  If not the cruelty they are often convinced (or have convinced themselves) that poverty is deserved, like their opulence is.

  Just today there was a post on how most Americans believe poverty is the result of individual choices.

  Happy to help!

  The problem is those companies (premiumize, debrid, whatever) are entities that make profits from filesharing and give nothing back to artists. That’s not morally defensible.

  Filesharing itself is perfectly morally defensible, and in fact sharing culture is good for society (including artists).

  So while they might be convenient, they also shouldn’t exist in the first place. Parasitic companies shouldn’t be rewarded for their patristic behaviour.

  This is spot on (pun intended).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why I Ditched Spotify, and How I Set Up My Own Music Stack⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  No, you don’t need that. You want it because it’s convenient and we live in a consumerist society where everything “needs” to be “frictionless”. Intentionally clicking on an artist’s bandcamp page to listen to a recommendation is fine. It’s a lot easier than mail order or taking the bus to the record store to buy a copy.

  I get what you’re saying, but we need to question the parameters of the challenges more often.

  What do you mean by “they control the app fully”? Something like github.com/abba23/spotify-adblock will let you run the app without ads, which kinda contradicts the idea they control the app fully.

  It’s really a shame OpenWrt doesn’t make it easy to switch to Caddy as the webserver, as its file listing feature is really decent (and it’s a great webserver in general).

  Ah that really sucks. Who should be on the hook for replacing and fixing all this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people hate drinking water?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That sounds like it should be seriously checked. Hopefully there’s no lead, but that’s not sure given what you’re saying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people hate drinking water?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well then it’s too late… I’d much rather avoid people the excruciating pain.

  I’m really no expert, but i imagine they picked the location of wind farms specifically to maximise the time with useful wind. It seems kind of obvious. Their official site mentions average wind speed of 10,4 m/s at the He Dreiht location.
