Apologies. Do you know a better way I can link stuff behind paywalls.

Also, am I being a jerk when I link to Archive? I don't wanna spread shady links unknowingly.

I just buy the music I want from bandcamp or the band. I can organize and rip whatever and keep it backed up incredibly simply.

Then I put it on whatever device I want to use. Do you remember album/tape/CD collections. It's like that but digital. The tech gives us all so much more control, it seems a shame to stream from a source like Spotify. Just stream your stuff to yourself, or put it on a tiny piece of silicon.

You can use Spotify like the radio I guess. A really creepy, ultra-payola-driven radio. Why not own some digital media, though? Like pay some artists directly and listen to their content digitally.

Who the fuck really needs Spotify to distribute their content? Maybe shitbags that NEED a corporate entertainment structure to survive. Fuck em.

Spotify isn't genius. They just created a cultural choke point and they are gonna milk it like a starving baby cow. Having the investment and cooperation of the big labels allows and maintains this lucrative exploitation of creative labor.

Edit: There's an episode of the Nerdist when some jerk from Linking park was on. He talked about getting royally fucked by the label they were on. That terrible band could not have been drilled into the culture without major label support and payola. They deserve nothing because they are a sacchrine confection of the corporate music industry. They are a golem of mass-market, general-purpose angst. They only positive thing from linking park was the singers suicide.

Here's the full write up from The Sunday Times. We can't judge from a single post. But the post is of an article citing the ST article.

Just read the original article or watch the show if you want more info.

I would have trouble finding new music without torrent sites. The trackers I use have a web of related artists at the bottom of the artist page.

The users add to the community through comments, uploads, suggestions, organizing, et cetera.

Using a tracker has helped me discover music that ain't even on Spotify. It's the tits!

I just download or copy all the music/audio I want to have, and put that all on my phone. Then I listen to it anywhere, anytime.

500GB SDcard is <100$

The whole channel for the law firm is gold!

I haven't heard of this before! I've only glanced at the link you posted, I need time to give it a proper look. I need more hours in a day.

It looks awesome, at a glance!!! Maybe like SoulSeek, but comic nerds? I can't wait to dive in (skepticism aside). Thanks for the link. It's been hard to stay in the loop.

Thanks, good read. It bums me out that people are still fouled by Sam Altmann's shtick. OpenAI and Worldcoin are just grifts. At least OpenAI DOES some things, but it's definitely not open. Worldcoin seems like data-gathering with a hint of crypto-grift.

Thanks for this. I really miss 32Pages and haven't really been DLing comics too much. I found a good comic shop near me that fills my needs.

I must have missed that MaM has 0day comic releases. I'll definitely hop on and seed those.

I can't deny that it's a great song.

From the POGO wiki.

"Bertke was criticized for a 2015 video that derided feminists as gold diggers and "making misogynist arguments against women's rights".[16] He later claimed that it was made "to impersonate the radical right".[17]

In a YouTube livestream that was uploaded in 2016, Bertke stated that he has a "fairly robust resentment of the gay community".[18] In the same video and on the topic of the Orlando nightclub shooting, a terrorist attack at a gay bar in Florida in 2016, he said, "It amazes me to see the West welcoming a culture through the floodgates that wants gays dead. I think that's fantastic".[19][20] "

I'm stoked to see OSHA in the bottom right!!!

(I hope it's the work-place-safety OSHA and not some terrible reference I'm not familiar with.)

Thanks for posting this. It's a good read. I'm stoked that Dolphin will continue to be developed with or without Steam.

I wonder if this will affect the ability to use Dolphin on a SteamDeck. I'm sure people will figure out Dolphin on the Deck, or already have.

Didn't the telecoms receive billions of dollars of public money to build and then own that infrastructure?

I'm not too familiar with vDos or converting .nrg to iso. I'm sure you can find software to do that.

Another option would be to use DosBox and mount the image on a virtual drive that DosBox can access. Then install the game like you would on DOS.

Here's a DosBox wiki for Star Trek AFU.

I want an easily-exploited OS for CFW.

Podcast Addict is amazing. No complaints.
