Naiveté knows no bounds.

Yeah, tbh Spotify has massively diversified my music taste and even more than that introduced me to literally hundreds of artists I’ve come to really enjoy.

I don’t use the home tab or any public playlists, I make my own playlists out of music featuring my faves, usually grouped by genre or vibe or for highly personal stuff to specific times and events in my life, like an old mixtape of sorts, then I’ll see what’s suggested at the bottom and check those songs out. If I really like it I might listen to more by the same artist or the album the song is from but I’ve never been huge on albums as a medium specifically.

It used to be a few years back that almost all the suggestions were spot on, maybe even better than Google Play Music used to be, but much more effective than the tried and true method of googling “artist/album/song like x”.

A lot of the artists I found that way only have a couple hundred or thousand monthly listeners, if that.

Though lately the recs haven’t been very good.

Yeah, the one thing that keeps me on spotify

256kbps AAC is still proprietary, but you can convert it to an MP3 with something like dBPowerAmp

No, because that’s not how elections work you fucking goal post shifter as I already explained to one of you delulu mfers in the comments.

But this is the whole thing isn’t it? You know that. You don’t have any allegiance to the truth or honesty or integrity or any actual values, you just happened to be on the side vaguely not actively against those things.

You are exactly the reason why we’re in this fucking mess and there’s no difference between you and a trump supporter who voted because they thought 2 parts ivermectin per glass of water in the water supply is gonna cure his 5G.

This level of intellectual dishonesty is no different, and just as profoundly anti-enlightenment.

You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink, and that’s why trump won, and will probably stay winning for the foreseeable future.

It’s the majority of the registered voters as demonstrated in my other comment, cheers.

This is “voter fraud” and “stop the count” and “count them all” tier copium. Why do I need to Google some conspiracy theory of yours when I have the facts right here?

Vast majority of Americans supported Project 2025, supported trump and voted for him. Do you have any actual information to dispute these facts?

To them Trump is the resistance dummy

With 96% of the vote in, Trump has, according to the Associated Press, 49.97% to Vice President Harris’ 48.36%, or 76.9 million votes to 74.4 million.

Most of the country shifted to support Trump, even in safe blue states most people shifted right:

I’m sorry but please stop spreading copium misinfo

I’m not demoralised, I just don’t need copium.

Majority of the population supports it. Anything else is pure cope.

Can’t wait for US GOVCORP to just have a beef with the EFF and FOSS as a whole all of a sudden, especially considering DeepSeek is casus beli enough for Altrightman & co. already.

Time for devs to fork the GNU License to include an Ethics clause that explicitly prohibits any use whatsoever by specific (named) enemies of computing freedom.

War is war.

While practically unenforceable in the current US just as GPL is in many cases, this could give orgs and govts legal grounds in other countries and god-willing a potential future better united states.

So you’ve got these people eager to support candidates, but no candidates for them to support.

This is delusional. Majority of voters don’t think about this nonsense at all.

For example, in Maricopa County, Ariz., home to Phoenix, Harris got roughly 61,000 fewer votes than Biden in 2020. Trump, on the other hand, gained about 56,000, for a 117,000-vote shift in just one county.

In a broad sense, the poll, which surveyed a representative sample of 2,128 adults nationwide, found that Americans think the Republican Party is more in sync with the mood of the country. The issues that people said mattered most to Republicans were also, for the most part, the issues that mattered to them: immigration, the economy, inflation and taxes.

The problem is literally no one cares about Palestine. They should, but they don’t.

You chose the worst fucking hill to die on. Some brown people getting exploded in a place most people can’t find in a map on the other side of the world is nothing to an average working person compared to their rent, utility or grocery bills going up.

Seeding.

Can we archive the articles too? Particularly prevailing to LGBT topics? Right now as I understand they’ve only put hold on publishing those.

But in the future, retractions don’t seem impossible. I don’t want to duplicate the work if it’s being done somewhere already. Trans people are particularly easy to target, we should be archiving data from the American association of pediatricians too.

That book seems so strange a hill to die on and the article gives it way too much leeway.

Actual elites with assets and power will do whatever makes them money and gets them status and as such they tend to back the winning social-cultural movement whether it be for or against saying the N-word. That was progressives before, and now - not so much.

Likewise working class people can suffer the uniquely modern hyper-exploitation of Amazon warehouse work regardless of if they’re for or against saying the N-word.

One’s convictions can be as sincere or insincere, it’s a tertiary rhetorical question, the ultimate point of a Left conscious of social axes of inequality is to create systems where it is disadvantageous to behave such that you perpetuate oppression. McDonalds saying they care about gay rights or whatever is not relevant other than as a sign of winning the vibes war.

In practical terms whether this is “believing women” or stripping the police of certain privileges and placing checks and balances on them.

This is fundamentally a reaction to the USSR’s oppression of its people’s social freedoms.

Nah there will be, but it won’t make a difference. Why stop when they keep winning?

Trump or someone exactly like him will be re-elected in 4 years.

Boycotted over those cunts platforming that cunt chapelle and never looked back. No Netflix, no Disney, no Twitter, no Facebook, no Instagram, no TikTok, no Reddit, no Amazon, no Apple.

All I need is a ship and a star to steer her by.
