You don’t need tariffs, you need taxes. The problem isn’t that your economy isn’t doing well, it’s that too much of the wealth goes to the top and too little to lower and middle class. It’s not normal that one man has more than 250 billion.

You’re thinking of MusicBrainz Picard, the music file tagging software that is powered by MusicBrainz, a music metadata encyclopedia. ListenBrainz is a separate project, though it also makes use of the MusicBrainz data.

I never used Plex so I wouldn’t be able to help you but the page below has 2 Plex-related links.

Could someone smarter than me explain Matrix to me? In particular,

• What would be the utility for someone, who cares about privacy and currently uses Signal and email for communication?
• What advantage would it give me over other services?
• Is Matrix anything good already, or is it something with potential that’s still fully in development?
• How tech savvy does one need to be to use Matrix?

I’ve been using Fennec. Any one got advise on what would be the best alternative? And please explain why.

Now could you explain it like I’m 104?

shorts are not my cup of tea. Pretty sure shorts have a negative impact on peoples attention span. I’d still be happy to see people watch their shorts on the Fediverse rather than at tiktok/yt. Of course, but still…

I followed in 2021. What remains is that I use YouTube quite a lot (even though it’s through piped or yt-dlp).

ListenBrainz

Is there any particular hate against ‘live, laugh, love’ that I am missing, besides the phrase just being a bit cheesy?

Sabotage Wikipedia, Ddos the Internet Archive. Makes you wonder if in the future we’re going to forget our past. Will actual history be obscured in a sea of alternative histories unrecognizably presented as the same thing. Maybe we need to keep some books laying around in archives just to be sure.

We still have it, and it’s quite nice.

Where ever you listen to your music, in most cases you can hook it up with ListenBrainz, to save your listening data on a FOSS alternative for Last.fm. And to get all sorts of beneficial features, like for instance recommendations that are truly independent, and getting updates on new releases.

good luck finding one with a decent resolution AND price.

That raises the question: is there one that has decent resolution and privacy, but is expensive? Those of us who can afford it should surely go for the privacy friendly option regardless of price. Boycotting the surveillance society that’s in full development is worth a lot.

Youtube isn’t just a thing people use to waste time

I fully agree, didn’t mean to imply it’s just that. But it’s also that.

Direct payment to creators seems like the most simple and efficient method.

That’s a fair point. There’s a million things you could do, and watching videos on YT is just one of them. Watching videos online has become a large part of peoples lives. Surely it has a lot to offer, but we should probably not forget it also replaces a lot of things, things we would spent are time on otherwise, if we didn’t have YT as an easy time-drain, and those other things are presumably equally rewarding or more so.

Elon Musk

Can someone explain to me the difference between bluesky and twitter?
