Ofc they paywall this particular article

Why would he litigate it, he was pardoned. 0 incentive to put himself into more public scrutiny

Substack is less explorable tho, the beauty of Reddit is you can search any keyword for a subreddit and its basically guranteed to exist or not far from easily predictable variations therof.

I never found I wanted to go too far from the current q&a or tutorial I was searching for specifically

Their search algorithm cant be worse tho, I’ll give them that. Reddi’s is absolute dogshit, its only saving grace is how you can search in the specific subreddits to shave off more keywords that would otherwise pollute or overcomplicate your results

Yeah, like support underdogs but be realistic, you cant pay for everything and everyone unless you’re unusally well-resourced so respect your own constraints where they exist.

And thats just music, are you planning on remaining internally consistent and limiting the breadth of access you could otherwise have across all the modalities like TV shows, movies, books, courses, audiobooks, etc??

Your consumption does not hurt them, the stuff you would pay for anyway just do that but i think i can live with myself for downloading Pink Flloyd’s discog or the complete cartoon series from childhood lol

They should not be able to charge or enforce api fees on contributing+ obv addicted human users. Its bullshit but it so clears the way for me not paying them for the privilege of getting banned and muted constantly

Download it via torrent, thats your best option. It takes time to build up a sizable catalog but it helps you can download entire acts discographies one fortuitous swoop here and there

Paying is basically antithetical to privacy, I only do it for the essentials or what i cant otherwise obtain freely

Honestly, it would be incredible if they tried their hand at the Reddit/Lemmy format, the Twitter shit never grabbed me

On the subject of improving the (legal) system, if it doesnt affect the employers equally or moreso I’ve found, it really doesnt matter what is done or not done. They somehow always escape the discussion unmolested

At some point, if nobody is cool with footing the bill, it raises an exponentially larger question of why is there a bill in the first place, who made the order underlying it, and why the subscription should continue or ever even existed before these pesky underwriting decisions were supposed to and failed to be made writ large

That needs to be explored. Is it ever ok to dispute that bill and send it back + refuse to continue until the order is made right?

PornHub?

Not fan of tbe format or addictive liabillity but prefer this if it has to exist

Can I ask you a genuinely heartfelt and good-faith question?

How is it fair when someone shitty is allowed entry who ends up hurting civilians but civilians are expected to suck it up

How do you actually fix that without acting prophalactically, even its seen to be unfair or prematuew?

As far as I’m aware theres already an enormous issue on that side of things

Not a fan of capriciousness but if criminal issues cant even be dealt with, maybe thats a necessary step in the evolution of a workable larger system.

However, all these things should equally or allocate sufficient joint liabillity to the employers. If you feel the need to infringe on guest’s rights, that discussion is arguably inseperable from and should be understood to be complete or even appropriate without bringingthe sponsor to the table.

They are often the root of any local or global problems in this domain and its a true tradgedy that they shirk accountabillity to their underlings/hires when they are oxygen to the flame

Fair but Necessary

lit’rlly

But why on c/SelfHosted tho?

Nice, any more specific yet universal things underlying that? Like are you cool with talking about a direct experience where something was though or said by someone and there was a “clicked”-moment?

Possibly. From an audio perspective sounds correctish enough

Only by constantly re-photocopying something can something truly timeless ever be reified
