If extortion is the honest way to do something, a bigger step back is needed.

Think they can ban the “pay, or let us track you” tactic I’ve been seeing pooping up too? That’s fucking extortion.

I’m using Proton Unlimited.

I’m enjoying it. I like it’s sync feature, so now my history and playlists etc are shared across my 3 main devices. No issues so far but still relatively new to it. I find it’s more reliable across vpns than newpipe or freetube.

You joke but if you think the aim isn’t bigger… I wouldn’t be surprised if astroturfed discourse around decentralised platforms being unsafe because they can’t be “moderated” surfaces in the next few years (months?). Mastodon have already had to explain why they literally cannot add age verification in the UK. They’ll just ban the whole concept if they can’t get the control. The free web is being reigned in.

I don’t use DAWs but i just recorded with a guy using Reaper. He had nothing but glorious things to say. You can run it from a usb stick of your using someone else’s studio. At one point he needed it to do something specific and just got in touch with the guy and asked and he sorted it. Apparently it’s the guy who made WinAmp.

Luxury. I had to get up in the morning at ten o’clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah.

I’m still new to FOSS/Fediverse etcetc, but seeing someone just explain ToS like a human is so fucking refreshing.

Ah, Vertical Integortion.

Is this a new advice-dog-era style meme? I like it.
