- Comment on If Britain is so bothered by China, why do these .gov.uk sites use Chinese ad brokers? 1 week ago:
Sounds bad. I haven’t used websites on a bare browser for a few years but I hear peoples inferences about it. It’s good to boycott bad websites too.

Yep. Government dont give a shit about anything.

I haven’t seen any ads on them but then I’m using UBO. Seems plausible that they’re using visitor data as a revenue stream though. Sort of like how the BBC does not show us ads but sells its content internationally.
- Comment on Conservative MP Daniel Poulter defects to Labour 2 weeks ago:
Upvoted because I agree that Labour have taken the centre-right place vacated by the Tories shift towards the far right.
The last hope I have in the current Labout leadership is that they are even worse liars than we thought and will turn around and implement loads progressive policies once they have been allowed into office by the right wing press. The fact that they’ve been have loads of meeting with the finance ghouls isn’t a good sign but perhaps they’re stringing them along too. I’m probably just indulging my fantasies though.

I don’t think there’s anything as uniquely horrifying and wretched as sitting out a bad a trip.

Looks like a peach of an app. Nice recommendation.

I remember hearing about this. And I bet you the reason they ended up with so many songs with less than 1000 plays is because their own algorithm. Apart from creating money problems for most musicians, they have been actively narrowing our artistic culture by effectively inbreeding modern music. Its really bad. We need musicians (and all other artists) to express and reflect who we are and what we’re about. They empower us. I feel like contemporary music has become narrowed down to nothing but hedonism, vanity and self-loathing; largely thanks to the likes spotify.
BTW if you’re interested in something which is good, check out radiofreefedi.net It’s music from artists on the fediverse. I’ve had some great sessions listening to their comfy channel and discovered some awesome new artists that I wouldn’t have otherwise.

I actually quite like the idea of facebook becoming a few billion bots nattering away at each other on Meta’s dime.

I call on all small artists to boycott Spotify.
You will make no money on it but they depend on you for their business.
Do not perpetuate or support the continued impoverishment of musicians and degradation of artistic culture.

I buy sometimes buy downloads on Qobuz but they also have a streaming subscription. I’ve been able to find most non-obscure music on their site.

I suspect that big artists are making so much from streaming that they’re not concerned with direct to consumer. And that’s fine because they are the easiest to torrent.
Bandcamp or whatever downloads website for small and torrent for big.

Bandcamp Fridays.

Especially if you are a musician. Musicians need to boycott it. 99.9999% of musicians wouldn’t even notice if they weren’t on it but it would destroy Spotify.

Instead of Elon’s jet tracker, can we make a website that tells people which of a given MPs properties they are not staying in on a given night?
- Comment on Windows 10 and its shortage of "Never shove this screen in my face again" buttons 5 weeks ago:
Yeah. Someone needs to make a ublock origin zapper for the windows operating system. If I could do something like alt-click any object and make it instantly fuck off out of the computer I could get more work done and be more patient with my customers.
Ultimately my boss is paying microsoft for their bloatware once when he pays for his windows licence and again when I have to bat it away on the clock before I can do my work.
- Comment on Windows 10 and its shortage of "Never shove this screen in my face again" buttons 1 month ago:
I have to use windows at work, which is the absolute worst place for it. When I’m busy and trying to keep up with getting shit done it makes me really stressed out having get past all these popups, which always seem to happen at the worst possible moment.
It feels like I’m in Takeshi’s Castle or something.
