Can’t use soulseek fairly without opening a port; I’m exclusively on mobile internet with a VPN without port forwarding… I might pay for home wifi for one month out of the year to fill my drive…

Depending on how security is, you can plug a USB-c hub and connect it to a KBM and run it that way…

I like to use the time filter and can listen in 5 languages; “oldies” in various genres, times, and places, isn’t that hard to research–plenty of free internet radio out there.

Sorry to the new bands out there.

Edit: Also I find the mindset of finding the exact best music is kind of unhealthy. Building a tolerance for meh actually helps me discover things that don’t immediately and instantly appeal to me, and I think that leads to more musical variety in the long run than the skip-happy attitude streaming encourages.

Everybody is paying for some kind of music streaming service of some kind or another.

Count me out. I’m building a music library of my own with the help of my local library, thrift stores, and the internet. And, shit, I just got a record player, too.

How are they not getting blocked?

I’ve thought of mass scraping youtube for music, but it’s not worth ths risk of being banned by Google for life.

I’m saying they could corner the market on components they can manufacture by banning export of the raw resources they control. Threatening rare earth metal exports was how they got Trump to heel.

What if they decide to just keep their rare earth metals for themselves and control the entire market?

I was a terminal redditors for over a decade and that last year or two I was getting site-wide bans at an accelerating rate. I’m off there to avoid a permaban and I’ll only post there if I need a question answered no other way.

I’ve been on Lemmy for 19 days so far and feel like it scratches whatever pseudo-social itch Reddit scratched before; even though the communities aren’t as niche, the community and moderation isn’t so consistently obnoxious.

You know, god bless the bots because they’re probably soaking up at least some watts of surveillance.

Until the update that bricks the car unless it can consistently recognize a face.

Buying a new car in 2026 is a risky proposition with no horizon.

Cell phones in Japan must have an audible shutter sound. Pretty sure turning down the volume isn’t enough to silence it.

Most people only know about Puerto Rican day from the episode of Seinfeld that aired exactly once before being pulled for desecrating the island’s flag.

I think y’all are underestimating Pedro Pascal’s woman fanbase.

Yeah, the story of an attractive, emotionally sensitive guy raising a child alone in a harsh world is like marketing poison to women. /s

How does this cycle end? No idea really […]

October 24th, 1929 sound familiar?

It is kind of amusing how, “You guys are knee jerking your reactions instead of looking at the issue carefully” gets the knee jerk upvotes here.

thanks. just tried Cross posting on that community via voyager. though now if this post gets deleted here, that’ll be a dead link? hm.

Sadly also not a support forum either.
