All psychoactive substances outside of stimulants are dumb -- usually...

Not to mention stimulants being dumb if used at dosages where you'd feel them. In the usually dumb category it goes.

I stopped drinking alcohol, mind you I wasn't a drinker to any real extend at any point in time ever, after doing psychedelics once. Capisce? And a year or so after doing psychedelics and I started forming the belief that even they were completely unnecessary. Nowadays I mainly drink white teas or very light green teas, meditation is the only modification I need to my mental.

Computers have finally caught up with humanity. This is good.

A famous Jazz artist said something to the effect of there being no wrong chords, what is important is what

I thought it’ll never happen that they are finally a part of human magical thinking. This is as terrifying as it’s inspiring.

chords follow.

I wouldn't place too much trust in Bandcamp. It was acquired by Epic Games and then sold to Songtradr shortly after, it's waiting to enshittify. It might also be better to buy off of labels and artists directly if you want to "support" an artists or a label. Used CDs and vinyls are great too.

I’ve been using it for nearly a decade, it’s changed a lot.

Same. I just simply don't agree. If you consider tiny features not a soul needs like yearly reviews of one's listening habits and the roll out of podcasts as things worth mentioning, ok, they were not exactly doing anything radically new at that point anyway.

I don’t know why you’d be leaving ux out.

Because UX 90% adds nothing and chiefly serves to suggest innovation.

You must be trolling come on now.

I am. I want Spotify employees to read this and get steamingly mad. They are complicit in ruining music.

Spiralling

Spotify's functions have not changed a bit since 2016. It is literally the same application, what has changed are the tiny things they're doing for compatibility but that is not really worth mentioning. Intentionally leaving UX out.

Honestly what code is there to write for this glorified web browser? They're probably also outsourcing most of their data collection and recommendation algorithms.

Buy physical media, rip CDs, share shit and that's it

USB C is awesome for the electrics but mechanically mid range

Those lawsuits work only short term

I realize that we might be talking entirely different languages here. For one, I do not at all hold the belief that social constructions have eternal qualities to them. Secondly, affluenza is a second order phenomenon to private wealth. Maybe third order phenomenon, as economic behaviour precedes it, standing in the middle between affluenza and private wealth. To me that's putting the horse before the cart a bit which doesn't compute.

lol, lmao even

Either they think they're evil 1337 h4xx0r overlords that are gonna enslave the planet or they genuinely think their statistical apparati do anything worthwile outside of making statistics on by now 70% other statistical machines.

+just wait until AI bros about Zip compression being more efficient at classifying than "AIs".

That it's not Python;)

Not to mention that real high quality astrophotography by NASA and ESA is more often than not under free licenses. Literally the last case where it's necessary to generate something.
