  As a hoarder, I spend more time listening to new music than not, and Spotify’ features and personalized discovery algorithms help tremendously with that.

  These days more and more AI songs are creeping into my Spotify and I notice them. That has caused me to be suspicious of every song I hear enough that even when I find a good real song, the enjoyment is undercut by that constant underlying feeling of “this could be AI” even though I know it isn’t.

  I’m absolutely livid and disgusted at Spotify for making me feel that way. Discovery was the one thing keeping me on that wretched platform. I imagine I’ll be slowly migrating to a self-hosted solution. I just really wish foss had more private and open personalized discovery features (or any at all for that matter, and not just for music).

  Age verification is insane in it’s entirety and no payment processor, corpo, government, or think-tank has any right to enforce their puritanical views on sex and Orwellian techno-fascist policies on everyone.

  Their business was to index the entire internet. Now they practically are the internet. Don’t be evil very much meant something beyond ads and imo it meant “don’t fucking become Sauron”

  “Oh, but then the price of my McDonald’s cheeseburger will skyrocket!!” Fucking good

  I don’t know why people keep repeating this propaganda. Plenty of countries pay actual wages to their employees, don’t have a tipping, and the prices are still fucking cheaper than America.

  I’ve seen more complaining about ml than the actual things they’re complaining about. It’s pointless infighting among an otherwise like minded community. Even hexbear doesn’t deserve it.

  Calm down. Have a hot chocolate and enjoy the season and masturbate thinking about linux to distract from societal collapse like the rest of us.

  I was going to block them and lemmygrad at first but decided not to and instead tried to understand what all these people were about.

  Now I’m a communist, have a hammer and sickle, live in China, and my favorite color is red. Death to America comrades! Get fucked libs /s

  Seriously though, they’re not anymore insane than us. Maybe just a bunch of drunken commies at a bar who don’t really bother to distance themselves from the subjects of a century of red scare propaganda. In any case, it’s worth keeping an open mind and engaging in good faith.

  Though as leftist as I personally am and have become in time, I’m not going to call anyone comrade or start using hammer and sickle imagery except in the context of history lol. Libs can still get fucked though.
