It’s also horrific animal abuse. Actual atrocity.
6·5 days agoNot with the same dollar!! You can only spend it one place. The more dollars you’re spending at Spotify, the less of your money goes to the artists.
Getting the artists more money is ALL about not using Spotify.
Excess ain’t rebellion.
You’re drinking what they’re selling.
Your self-destruction doesn’t hurt them.
Your chaos won’t convert them.
They’re so happy to rebuild it.
You’ll never really kill it.
Yeah, excess ain’t rebellion.
You’re drinking what they’re selling.
Excess ain’t rebellion.
You’re drinking,
You’re drinking,
You’re drinking what they’re selling.Spotify loves you for this. And the artists can’t perceive it.
5·11 days agoSooooo… he’s NOT leaving YouTube?

3·25 days agoI think the distinction between data acquisition and data application is important. Consider the parallel of photography; you are legally and ethically entitled to take a photo of anything that you can see from public (ie, you can “scrape” it). But that doesn’t mean that you can do anything you want with those photos. Distinguishing them makes the scraping part a lot less muddy.
Yes. Piracy in the sense of stealing from ships in international waters is different from piracy in the sense of copyright infringement. Thanks for that.
Are you saying that the mere action of scraping is fair use, or that absolutely anything you do with the data you scrape is also fair use?
An “off” switch… She’ll get years for that! Off switches are illegal.
It doesn’t have a head like that. It places things in a conceptual space, not a numerical space. To it, a number is just an adjective, like a colour. It is learning to play chess by looking for language-like patterns in the game’s transcript. It is never attempting to model the contents of the board in it’s “mind”.
A proper Faraday cage, a truly excellent one, just the most Faraday of all the cages, is easily defeated by physical attacks such as getting your phone cloned when you get mass arrested and summarily released on OR.

The things that make life worth living don’t cost money. The things that make life not death cost money.
Yes, the format demands it; no fault implied on your part, just commenting on how it hits
emacshas been with me since the 16-bit era, across paradigms, across generations, across careers. When I useemacsI think in terms of what the elisp is doing. It’s such a deep and developed relationship, I would be throwing away so much personal power to use anything else.
You’re looking for FreeBSD.
Seeing “.TAR.GZ” in all caps gives me strong feelings of wrongness.
It’s a rigged game. It’s like you’re at a casino. It doesn’t matter HOW you play the game, the casino wins. The way to beat them is not to engage with them at all. Established capital exploits the artist and the audience alike. You have to work outside the system of coercive control to have a meaningful effect that doesn’t just get turned back against you. Giving the artist more incentive to stay in an abusive situation ultimately helps the platform more than the artist, as compared to spending the same money through a direct channel.
