And their CEO thinks music is a product that costs next to nothing to make so it’s okay to screw artists over for his billionaire pay check.

Fuck Spotify. Tell everybody you know to use alternatives. Qobuz, Tidal, Deezer…

Isn’t black and white stripes the “ally” denominator already?

I wouldn’t call it dumb but maybe expecting too much from people now that convenience and hand holding is expected at all times.

*Canned laughter that fades into awkward reflective silence.*

It was a sarcasm.

We the people that want a finished product with distribution and a good eco system from day zero. It must be next gen hardware and be priced more than competitively.

I get a new banner every time I reload so it might be unrelated to the project.

But it’s been a thing with a lot of open source software the last years to have weird anime and hentai bullshit¹ in them and asking the developers to to think twice renders a wall of horny geeks calling names.

Edit: ¹as in sexually suggestive and unacceptable in a professional setting, and that most people outside the bubble find inappropriate or disturbing or even offensive

SearXNG is a meta search entirely reliant on other services.

Grey rocking is the best strategy to get rid of all annoying people. Do not engage, do not give them any fuel, do not give them any satisfaction. Be as boring and unexciting as you can possibly be until they lose interest in you.

I found some more articles that have more substance. It seems to me that it is a programmable device that is an analogue recreation of digital neural network design with the benefits of real time processing of data streams without conversion or sampling and doing it at lower power consumption that current digital technology.

Tech news seem latch on to the words parallel and wireless because the chip operates with microwaves in a mesh¹ processing configuration but confuse what it means in this context.

Very cool, I’m curious to learn more.

¹ or “mush”, as quoted by the researches themselves

Security packed and system updates is one thing.

The constant reorganization of functions and apps and layouts and compatibility is a very different one.

It is a problem that the operating system is controlled by the largest apps and service company that make money from user data in various forms and keep pushing their business model in every device core operations.

And fuck fuck fuck that Google keeps trying to force Gemeni in every update. Let me keep using Google Assistant and stop making it worse by stripping out functionality or replacing shortcuts to Gemeni. Gemeni can still not do the very few things I want my voice assistant to do, namely set alarms and play music on whatever music streaming service I prefer to use.

Go on the date, have fun, spend dad’s money. When he asks, tell him it was great and she spent all night pegging you in the arse and her side dude joined in. Then ask him for more money so you can do drugs together.

The YouTube app on my old tablet has been breaking on ads recently. First it stopped playing and then it wouldn’t even resume. Their own app. On playing ads. No ad blockers. Fuck you I’m not paying premium.

Well, the term “outsider art” refers to people disconnected from the art scene, artistic education or art circuits. People that produce output that may be considered artistic but often for other reasons than to produce art, like channeling and manifesting mental or emotional turmoil or trauma. This is also why it is problematic to display works by “outside artists” in art contexts because they are not necessarily produced to be seen, analysed out judged by anybody.

So yes, “insider art” is really all art and crafts that work within a tradition, any sort of context, by people that are aware of their activities as artists, regardless they are professionals or hobbyists.

I’m not sure what you’re going for here or if it is just a playful game with words.

It’s the other way around. Apple gave Trump a golden statue so he can kill off all their competitors. They no longer have to compete with their branding or products. It’s not smart, it’s just lazy, greedy and against any shred of decency. It’s not even capitalism, it’s plain corruption and proudly doing it in the open.

Gamers can be the most entitled demanding assholes. Arch users can be the most annoying arrogant and conceited people to exist online.

I wouldn’t dare imagine dealing with the unholy mix of arch gamers min-maxing social skills for inferiority complex.

I’d rather drop support too.

Thanks! Do you know if it possible to run Qobuz headless or in a docker container or some of the sort? I did some searching but couldn’t find anything.

I’ve been on Tidal for some time but noticed that Qobuz has released a connect service that seems to work like Sp*tify Connect so that you can remote control one instance from another. Like, playing music on computer connected to amp can be controlled through the phone.

I’d appreciate if somebody using Qobuz could confirm?
