Yes. Until you do. Then no.

So, like the Chinese national merit system? That’s super fair and nothing ever goes wrong.

That’s corporate social media/apps in general. Does this thing basically let people list crappy things that happened to them by specific humans?

How does this app even work?

“All you have to do is find it.”

The value of gold is not just in its scarcity, properties, luster, purity, etc., but also in the effort it takes to find or mine it. So, sure. Trip over a nugget and you’re…golden.

The same concept can be loosely applied to the abstraction of crypto currency. It takes energy and computational effort to acquire if you don’t just buy it.

Boring is cheap. Look at the way houses and apartments are being built now. Soviet Bloc Block Housing. No need for architects if the preexisting plans are pre-approved.

Yay capitalism.

Edit: a lot of people are missing the nuance. Surprise.

Thanks. Was going to say that, too.

I will hand it to the writer: good use of clickbait. It got me and it was technically accurate.

Go ahead all you want. I’ll never install Brave because it’s chromium based and because of their leadership and their choices.

Exactly what a bot would say. It has a very human design.

Fuck that. Leave the fucker on. Fuck our bullshit country’s demands.

This is not a feature in my eyes; it’s a security and privacy breach.

Been meaning to do that for a while, but most e-ink phones aren’t compatible with US networks.

I don’t want the OS. I just want a theme or window manager that looks that good.

Not with that attitude.

You can edit the title…

Totally fine. Mostly DIY, but it’s easy.

Maybe I’m being dumb and forgot that I paid $9 for the 9 songs on the album. You’re right.

Yes. It’s like $9 for a perpetual release. I used Amuse.io before, but they suck you in and hit you with fake fees after you’re on their service.

I release music. I use a low cost platform for distribution. There are free ones. I understand your position because I feel similarly.

I never expect to make money or get recognized, but I think my music is good enough to share. To do that, you need a distributor and to be on the major platforms.

Look into Soundrop. You can also put your stuff on bandcamp for free, but at least get it out as widely as you can.
