Yes. Something along the lines of "chrome store is for YOUR own good so we can make sure you only install safe addons".

Turns out that was a lie to lock people further into their ecosystem and probably also to increase control over what people can and can't install easily. Just like 99% of the time big companies say something

Chrome store is full of mal- & spyware. And guess what, google doesn't give a shit. Even after multiple reports with proof!

Sounds like a lot of work, unless you got a set of stairs and a shovel

Why would you waste perfectly fine food by wiping it off with a towel? Kids in africa can surely still eat that!

Also just in case your crossword puzzle starts talking to you: no it didn't (they're not actually sentient, but can still feel pain of course). And please for the love of god, don't ask it about it's opinion on skin colors

I really hope it gets better!

Just in case it does not, please don't fall for the sunk cost fallacy.

Also try to not fall victim to a "comfortably hurtfull relationship". Yes after the breakup the pain will get worse for a while. But it'll surely subside and once the pain is numb enough and you're not constantly hurting (mentally or emotionally) by being in a negative relationship anymore you'll start to feel better each day :)

Wish you the best, we all deserve love by default <3

Oh my gosh, your comment made me sick.

I mean really, who in their right mind would even consider that? Personally I can't even imagine just wasting a perfectly good pencil. Please be a responsible adult and use a fork instead (in case you can't fit the fork into your ear canal you might wanna widen it with a spoon first. Btw. spoons are the goto in case your ability to see is bothering you too)

Depending on your childs age and your bond maybe just tell them you don't like the song? Might just work for some children, if they're able to empathize with you (should be doable for most. Empathy can be taught!)

Noise canceling earbuds/a headset might be an option too (for you, or your child. Doesn't really matter)

Luckily they didn't have to colorize the text

FMHY has some good ones for high quality music. Organizing your Library will also be real easy with Musicbrainz Picard.

As for mass downloading there should be some Spotify downloaders out there. Every other way will proly not be able to get 100% of your library. Just make sure to use a trusted one, because you'll most likely have login with your account to access your saved stuff & playlists.

Personally I download from Tidal for HiFi (yt-dlp + hifi-tui) and Youtube Music (yt-dlp) for everything else.

JShelter and uBO medium mode to the rescue. Pair that with Librewolf and you're pretty secure against fingerprinting.

so what is being achieved here except paying more to be cruel to children and their families?

The cruelty is the point. Becoming homeless is a constantly looming threat for most people, so they need to keep working to afford a home (or rather rent one). This'll keep them busy and fatiqued, which makes changing their situation a whole lot harder.
