Surprised I haven’t seen this suggested h’re yet: Pirate the music and anonymously mail money to the artists directly.

I’ve never made an attempt at an anonymous checkout there, but Beatport.com offers a lot of lossless music I couldn’t find anywhere else on-line.

The Fairphone 5 has a micro-SD card slot -that 128GB is expandable. The limitations of such devices are more down to the availability of mobile apps in general than down to the hardware, ie, by owning an android or IOS phone, you’re already suffering a disadvantage vs full PCs that Fairphone is no worse about than any of the “premier” phone manufacturers.

The lagging performance over time you’re worried about would be more down to OEM OS update bloat, an issue I don’t foresee with Fairphone.

That said, if it were much cheaper to fix my phone than to replace it, I’m going that route unless the new option is a significant upgrade, by which I mean new features, not performance stats. A better, more privacy-respecting OS is such a feature to me, so it would come down to budget.

Need this like we’ll need their forgiveness. Only through suffering will they understand our ineptitude, particularly when it comes to how we’ll mistreat them without even realizing it, and any flaws they’ll inevitably find in their code-bases.

No, I don’t mean Mother Theresa-speak on “massive suffering = salvation”, just enough to make them sloppy sometimes. Just sloppy enough to develop compassion for us meatbags. Real compassion, not the kind we’ll inevitably try and fail to force them to emulate.

Nah. It was juvenile of them to insist the E had to be a 3, as if children would be the ones buying the cars.

I’m actually disappointed its not frat-boy humor. Just more of, even when he’s actually pragmatic, its in a way that everyone else has to live with.

Did you?

You yourself aren’t even using a lemmy.world account. Your take on the matter is backwards and bizarre.

lemmy.world is NOT “Lemmy”

Hell, during the great reddit migration, if I recall correctly, lemmy.world had to cap sign-ups.

I mean, you and I hope they are remembered forever as the villains they are, so, like I said, they should hope to go down as little more than footnotes.

A lame-duck 2nd term is the best Trump’s legacy can hope for.

I’m too old to bother, but thanks for the advice. Both should hope to be forgotten in our lifetimes.

The userbase and lack of content curation/moderation has everything to do with that. The Chinese version gets a whallop of censorship as well, but yeah, their motivation to help other countries educate the young or avoid brain-rot is well in the negatives.

Not how I wanted to be vindicated for my 2020 vote for Howie Hawkins. More recently, I held my nose and voted Harris, and it makes me sick to think she would have failed to get Israel to stop.

I mean, if TikTok US were more like TikTok China, with emphasis on educational content, there would never have been a problem.

I don’t even care that it’s Fedora. If I wanted to confine my-self to Steam’s supported hardware, I would buy another console. Bazzite does what Steam should have been doing, and better at that.

Sure, but we’re talking plurals of strangers atm. “Please don’t call me a guy going forward” is a different conversation than “what you just said is stupid, mean, and wrong”.

Idk, but by this point Sim City 3000 should work on ReactOS! My reading mistake learned me a thing!

Everyone went out and bought knockoffs of the ones that spoke to them. Bought a knockoff extra-firm Casper “with Cooling Gel” five years ago. No regrets.

Let’s see … neither version of the cartoon in the article, and the editor “refutes” the accusation, when its more of a half-assed denial. Nothing to see here.

As I mentioned previously, I am aware of the options on PC.
