There’s a lot of people in the world who do, in fact, like to eat.

That is mostly untenable for the average person. In the past a modest music budget was 1-2 albums a month plus the radio for discovery and word of mouth. That was it.

Streaming platforms give you access to practically everything that’s even remotely popular for the price of 1 album a month. If you want to consume a lot of music and especially a lot of new (to you) music, online streaming is one of your best options. And I know what sub I’m on, just addressing that you said “buy”.

Navidrome server streaming to Symfonium through Wireguard using music downloaded with Soulseek and suggestions generated by Listenbrainz. No, it’s not as convenient for the average user.

Understanment of the century. If you end up listing 5 different pieces of software to replace 1, then it’s going to be something for enthusiasts only.

There is no way you can use Spotify and think it has a low amount of music. There are precious few things I’ve looked for it doesn’t have.

Do you get ads is you pay for it?

Also: there’s unofficial clients? Does it use it’s algorithms or library?

Spotify sucks? What are some good alternatives that have a similar amount of content and suggestions?

Ai can be helpful

People are saying it’s useful now. I said I have found NO uses for it. And people get pissy that their new tech isn’t exciting most people. To the majority of us, this seems like another crypto/NFT scam. And for the actual use cases we’ve had for years and years: we already had a name for that: algorithms. People are calling damn near everything AI these days in the same manner as generative text AIs and making no distinction. It’s a useless buzzword where the only people that seem excited about it are billionaire tech bros and to anyone who’s been paying attention that’s a red flag.

I expect it to be better than a search engine. Otherwise what’s the point? It’s slower and often gives me incorrect info. So I just have to check the sources anyways.

Has anyone shown an AI that actually solves any problems besides wasting billions of tech dollars? I have “AI” in every browser, search engine and a bunch of sites. And every time I’ve tried using it it’s garbage. I have to refine basic queries multiple times and still then need to verify the answers. I’ve tried creative writing projects or to generate ideas and it splurts out the same rehashed shit I get on an initial web search. What’s the fucking point you techbro idiots?!

produce personalised treatment plans

Isn’t that what the doctor is already supposed to be doing? Looking at our history, charts, treatment attempts and customizing? Because if not I could just WebMD and pay a doc to write a scrip.

You bought the audiobooks on Spotify, and then they limited your listening time? What the fuck? Do you have a subscription? DIdn’t even know they sold audiobooks; just thought they had some free ones.

Thanks! I didn’t realize that existed.

Still wish there was a way to block Instances instead of just users and communities for non-instance owners. I’d rather not switch instances for a slight inconvenience of having to block every community from an instance.

Nope. Standard router and DNS.

I did pay for Boost since it was a one-time payment and I have free googlebucks.

Wait, Boost has ads? I’ve literally never seen an ad.

Do you run a farm? Meaning is your truck use for your business or job?

Rent a truck the few times a year you actually need it instead of having it for your ego.

Fuck trucks. I remember the Ranger it was barely bigger than a minivan. These things are obscene. People who own them don’t need them. Most people don’t even need trucks. People like to cosplay that they live up a 25 degree incline of muddy, rocky road. But a subaru would be just fine and IS in most of the world.
