You didn't mention a lack of ads. They remove all the ads when you subscribe, right?

So, all posts are from the perspective of people that are really into music. Enthusiasts that care deeply about individual albums and artists.

Whereas streaming services are most likely designed to cater to casual listeners like me. I can't remember the last time I listened to an entire album. I haven't liked any individual artist enough to attend a live concert. I generally listen to music while I'm doing stuff as background noise.

I used to listen to the radio for that. But streaming services algorithms were a strict upgrade to that due to lack of ads and talk show hosts.

Honestly, I don't know if I'll be able to determine whether a given piece of music is AI generated or not by listening to it.

So I don't think direct purchase of digital LPs could ever be viable for people like me. And I'm guessing (based on the success of streaming services) that there are a lot more people like me than there are enthusiasts. Yes, I can switch to the least bad streaming service according to Lemmy, out of solidarity (and no other reason). Remember 99% of people won't do that.

Just adding a perspective that might be missing from this community

Yes, but ported C# usually doesn't make for the most idiomatic Python.

99% of the time that doesn't matter, but a highly security sensitive reverse proxy shared by multiple users most likely part of the stack to be attacked might be an exception.

The lore is usually that it tastes different based on what the human ate. Or whatever emotions the human is feeling.

No, it's pretty clear that you're the one that LOVES where the world is going. You have zero interest in changing where things are going, you just want the satisfaction of saying "I told you so".

Well, guess what. Everyone else already knows everything you do. The volunteers are systemd aren't going go to jail for you. They haven't implemented age verification yet (no, an optional field in a schema is nothing close to verification) because they haven't been forced to yet. If laws pass such that they have to add it or go to jail, yes they'll implement it.

And when that happens, it will be because people like you took the effort to divide us instead of presenting a unified front against the corporations that are lobbying to take away our privacy.

But you won't care about the last part, because you'll be feeling too smug from "calling it".

And you can go contact your local/state/federal government representatives (I mean actually call, or go to town halls). But you won't, because hating on systemd is more important to you than your privacy.

It's as plain as day. You'll agree with me in a few years.

You're shooting the messenger. Meta and others are lobbying governments hard for this. They're the ones causing you to lose your privacy. Not the volunteers that maintain systemd.

You know his ~~Gestapo~~ ICE are going to take that as a challenge

And some companies (like mine) just have their SDEs do the SRE job as well. Apparently it incentivizes us to write more stable code or something

I don't think he ever said it's his first time
