Qobuz is good I wish
would start working for it again, nice search string to have in launcher + Firefox


☝️🤓 Not with PipePipe or Tubular. They’re NewPipe forks I use former for YT videos generally, latter for Soundcloud/Bandcamp ♾️ piracy (Metrolist for YT music), keeps queues separate but that may not be desirable. Metrolist is less reliable for avoiding YT blocking, but it has better caching. All have decent listings of offline listens.



Brainz suggestions are very good & they give you an RSS feed of your scrobbles. Unfortunately the scrobble app only works while online :(

The Official ListenBrainz App
ListenBrainz keeps track of the music you listen to and provides you with insights into your listening habits.
Using our visualizations, you can use ListenBrainz to track your music listening habits and share your taste with others.
Based on your listening history we recommend music you might like, new music you missed out on from your favorite artists, and what similar users have been listening to.
When you use the ListenBrainz Android app, you need to create an account with ListenBrainz, and your listening history will be associated with this account. This data is not kept on the device but is transmitted to the ListenBrainz server. The data collected is used to improve the recommendations and is accessible to other users.


OP if you use Android, check out this FOSS client.
Also, Soulseek itself as a service is proprietary & centralized, don’t buy privileges on it, funds a guy who went to Tel Aviv University (unless someone can dig up Ilan Pappé-level based writings by him, this is enough to avoid it imo). It’s definitely one of the best public spots for music access. Unless you speak Russian or Chinese I guess.

I will admit I immediately flash coat-shoplifted the phrase third rate podcasts


I bet they do something this weekend after the market closes. Either that or maybe we see Iran bombing Israel, US keeps supplying it but without infrastructure the country collapses. US probably still has hundreds of cruise missiles left but shit is running low. It would be a way to back off from further petrochem supply chain damage + Bab el-Mandeb closure. I do wonder if seeing the damage continue to roll through the markets spurs the US into another stupid hail mary. They are insane, after all. I almost forgot how insane they were due to ignoring the DC play-by-play, so I now have a big post it on the 'puter saying US INSANE ANYTHING POSSIBLE. 👍 We’ll see!


If the ceasefire actually held (honestly I haven’t refreshed RSS feed since last night so who the fuck knows I saw Lebanon getting bombed to hell & their demands are included so it’s gotta be right back to it or all bets are off, I mean they’d simply bomb Lebanon, come back & bomb Iran again so WTF) then the damage would start moving down the supply chain anyways, it would be very smart to have time to move shit around safely, fortify defenses, get radars back up, work on healing the damage to the society as a whole, you can do a lot in two weeks. Well shit.
Anyways sidenote but can I say it sucks being an RSS user and having the megathreads be actually useful. It can’t be that hard to set up an RSS for megathreads but it’s just not worth the time


tl;dr it’s shit nobody cares about that I mumble to myself to keep my hands busy so I don’t explode like an overfilled balloon.
I was basically just admitting I’m not in the communist party here I work in oil 😅 I think that’s why I used to give off ACP vibes on here (quite the opposite) getting mad at ecofash shit. I am an entirely different kind of #extremist and will [𝚁𝙴𝙳𝙰𝙲𝚃𝙴𝙳]
I was gonna make that my last post on here mostly likely. lol I was praying the ceasefire would hold, I put off becoming normal until after the war. WELL GUESS A BIT MORE IS LEFT.


Don’t be pathetic


Was there a telegram outage or something


If they’re so happy about the current state of Viet Nam, then why do they go to such lengths to deny every other country in the region any piece of its self-sufficiency and amenities? Reporting around the region sounds increasingly desperate, trying to take advantage of people’s minimal media exposure to VN


I mean, this is what you get from logic like “any state that’s able to militarily or economically resist the US coercion is a power on par with it” It’s an insidious framing that ignores how overextended and global U.S. reach rly is and how intricate the networks it uses to extend that power are. A lot of pseudo-communist orgs in the west have fallen for this.


I mean, we’re close, but the fun part starts once Israel is destroyed, and the US doesn’t magically disappear in a puff of smoke. That will raise some interesting questions for the purely media-based consensus (can’t call it a coalition) that has arisen out of this.


This would spike the price of all petrochemical derivative products (e.g. your entire life) not just energy. Pray the US does not escalate


As much as I find Marandi enjoyable, a good speaker, & a solid, brave person (he was literally almost bombed doing interviews like this), I feel he gets amplified by the press because he repeats the assertions of alt media back to them. Same with RT & its relationship to the US rightoid alt media. It’s progress, make no mistake about that, but I’m more excited for African scholars who understand neocolonialism better to come to the fore, which RT funding does reach, so, idk just wish they would all read my books
Hell News 👹
For legal reasons I agree with the last part 😶
