9·6 months agoHope this link works. Behind the Bastards is doing a few episodes on the bastards of forensic science.
Alex Jones thinks it’s Elon. Maybe. I don’t know.
Dittman has come up on Knowledge Fight a couple of times.
We need more people like Lina Khan!
11·10 months agoIs it possible to back-up any digital games that you purchase? Could PlayStation decide your purchase is no longer available to re-install at some point in the future?
Does that mean they can’t delete the games you download and install? If not, the “value” they provide can be restricted at any time.
Seems like they acquired a lucrative cholepoint to milk. Fuck them. Subscription-based ownership is not ownership or “value”.
Bill Gates is still a bastard. Here’s an episode of Tech Won’t Save Us that features an interview with the author of “The Bill Gates Problem”.

61·11 months agoAll day, everyday! Headphone port and 500GB (minimum) removable microSD are mandatory for me.
CZ would freguently post “4” in response to criticism or allegations. It was his way of saying all of the bad news about him was FUD.
Hopefully he lands in jail, but I don’t think he’ll be coming to the US anytime soon.
Please, let his response be:
4
Mark Bankston is awesome!!! His interviews on Knowledge Fight are incredibly entertaining.

Apologies. Do you know a better way I can link stuff behind paywalls.
Also, am I being a jerk when I link to Archive? I don’t wanna spread shady links unknowingly.
I just buy the music I want from bandcamp or the band. I can organize and rip whatever and keep it backed up incredibly simply.
Then I put it on whatever device I want to use. Do you remember album/tape/CD collections. It’s like that but digital. The tech gives us all so much more control, it seems a shame to stream from a source like Spotify. Just stream your stuff to yourself, or put it on a tiny piece of silicon.
You can use Spotify like the radio I guess. A really creepy, ultra-payola-driven radio. Why not own some digital media, though? Like pay some artists directly and listen to their content digitally.
Who the fuck really needs Spotify to distribute their content? Maybe shitbags that NEED a corporate entertainment structure to survive. Fuck em.
Spotify isn’t genius. They just created a cultural choke point and they are gonna milk it like a starving baby cow. Having the investment and cooperation of the big labels allows and maintains this lucrative exploitation of creative labor.
Edit: There’s an episode of the Nerdist when some jerk from Linking park was on. He talked about getting royally fucked by the label they were on. That terrible band could not have been drilled into the culture without major label support and payola. They deserve nothing because they are a sacchrine confection of the corporate music industry. They are a golem of mass-market, general-purpose angst. They only positive thing from linking park was the singers suicide.
Here’s the full write up from The Sunday Times. We can’t judge from a single post. But the post is of an article citing the ST article.
Just read the original article or watch the show if you want more info.
I would have trouble finding new music without torrent sites. The trackers I use have a web of related artists at the bottom of the artist page.
The users add to the community through comments, uploads, suggestions, organizing, et cetera.
Using a tracker has helped me discover music that ain’t even on Spotify. It’s the tits!
I just download or copy all the music/audio I want to have, and put that all on my phone. Then I listen to it anywhere, anytime.
500GB SDcard is <100$
This joke was at the end of a Darknet Diaries episode. Maybe this one:

I’m pretty sure that all episodes end with a tech-y dad-joke.
