Wait, holup. Is this legit or one of those “break your PC” joke things?

Eh, I can’t really leave Windows

I’ve started on vinyls. They’re cool, but it’s some work. Gotta store it right, handle with care, clean them. And that doesn’t guarantee it won’t skip around or, worse, get stuck on a loop. I do like the big square that is the sleeve cover, and it’s just kind of cool. But I’ve been considering CDs instead. Cheaper, afaik, and can be ripped onto a PC with the right hardware (which I presume is allowed — so long as you don’t distribute it — given you pay for it). Cover art is unfortunately smaller, and I’ve seen some cool vinyl concepts that probably wouldn’t work as CDs (colourful? Semitransparent? Glow in the dark???). But far more convenient, and cheaper. Plus, with the right hardware, I could also listen to FM radio

Vinyls are cool, CDs more are convenient (or so I reckon)

Pretty sure it ended years ago

I swear, if Microoft pulls a few more of these no-good shenanigans, I might start pondering on considering the possibility of perhąps trying out Linux

This just made me realise… with AI-generated videos, ads could be tailor-made for you. Could even feature you on it.

Easy: encrypt CSAM. If the hashes match… Gotta have the encryption key, though. But you mustn’t use for decryption. Only encryption

Okay, anyone got a map or list on this? Definitely curious on seeing who’s still in and who’s out, like that FightChatControl site

You add songs to your library? I have albums/EPs and some playlists, but that’s about it. Wouldn’t mind switching away from Spotify, though.

I probably would pay for albums, but not sure if I’d pay for singles. Pay to get only one song? I guess it’s a physical mentality. The latest single doesn’t come in vinyl format, after all. If only vinyl wasn’t as expensive and so fragile and requiring work to maintain

I do listen to a lot of music, though. And many artists as well. Which makes it difficult knowing for sure what I like. When I can listen to pretty much anything at any point in time anywhere, for no additional cost… got many things in my library, not sure if it all stands

Well, I suppose downloads musn’t be that expensive. Vinyls got me like “darn, that thing pricey, innit?”, and they skip a lot, very fragile, lots of work. I like the vibe, æsthetic, and just… overall exprience, minus all the cleaning work. I’m pondering switching to CDs, honestly. Don’t look as cool as vinyls, don’t come in fancy colourful shine in the dark fancy special versions (unless I’m wrong), no big square with cover image to better see and enjoy. But you can back it into a computer, innit? Less fragile as well. And if I get the right device, I could listen to FM Radio as well. Idk

Yeah, I have the app and it cost me nothing

You’re not listening to 12 new albums a year

Uhm…

When I’m driving, I shouldn’t have to scroll through 5+ pages to finally get to the music section

Į’ve recently discovered a feature I remember never really using, Car Mode, is no longer

Reminds me of Mic The Snare’s I Only Listened To The Radio For A Month

I don’t think Meta’s the one they’re going against, here

That’s a great idea! Here’s an apology that clarifies Diversity Policy 15, assuring the reader that the company is not homophobic, using a professional, courteous tone, limited to 500 characters or less:

We’d like to apologize for the incident. According to Diversity Policy 15, [company name] does not discriminate based on sexuality — this incident waInternal Error

One Direction was Nirvana 2 (not clickbait)

Chromecast is kil?

Also, Google Music? I thought they had YouTube Music. I do remember Google Play Music (RIP collections of songs and albums by rather big artists I purchased for 0 Monies about 10 years ago and could download as files but have since lost)

Top bar for real feels like it bloated, could do with a cleanup, but then it be like “well, this one should stay, and this one seems needed. This one’s useful and needs an icon here.”

Do I need the title to the currently playing media in there? Well… maybe not. BUT… I do need the accessibility icon. I have big text coz otherwise it small, and though it’s not like I disable it ever… uhh… it… well, it’s on, so… maybe it, should be there, okay? I don’t know
