ERMAGHERD dat typo!

I can’t laugh heard enough about this.

If Proton would offer feature to send from your mailbox with external SMTP accounts, like GMails, I would sign up for unlimited.

That’s wild.

voting for the candidate (in this case Kamala) but under the working families party as opposed to Democrat

Do what now? You mean like on your ballot Kamala is listed twice?

Paging @pixelfed@mastodon.social

There are a couple of pixelfed Lemmy communities you might want to cross post this to. If you already have a mastodon account you might post there with #pixelfed #flickr

You may wish to observe that the Republicans have a majority in the House of Representatives, meaning the Democratic Caucus lacks the votes to reinstate it.

I see that Apple does now, but no indicator of Spotify that I can see. Are you talking about how you can run the desktop app to stream the files on your computer? Because that’s not a digital locker.

Yeah it was a hundred times better in GPM.

that was on desktop web browser, https://music.youtube.com

Also, I’m pretty sure you can’t do this anymore.

Menu option is still there for me

It opens a file chooser, so I’m guessing it’s just one file at a time now, which is lame.

It’s nice when it works, but Plex has so thoroughly enshitified themselves now it needs internet access to stream on the home network! (Yes, I have read the KB/wiki pages and done the setup but it loses user management when connecting that way by IP).

From the 5 services shown in the graphs, that would be YouTube Music which lets you upload your library (yes, even FLAC).

There’s definitely differences in the catalogs. If there’s a particular genre that isn’t well represented on YouTube Music that is well covered on Spotify. Maybe they just got YT Premium as a family subscription because the kids are on YouTube all the time. I personally can’t imagine switching to a service that doesn’t have a digital locker for me to upload my existing library like YouTube Music does (though I’m still mad at the uploads being less integrated than they were in GPM).

why should I be paying for a music streaming app when I already have YouTube premium?

You mean because that subscription includes premium YouTube Music?

Because there haven’t been primary candidates winning their primaries on that issue. They won’t do it as a party.

The Tea Party successfully shifted the Republican party farther right by running and winning in their primaries. Why is it inconceivable that progressives can do the same in the Democratic primaries?

But I don’t think after a Harris win we are going to magically have RCV

I never claimed electing Harris will get us RCV. I’ve said pretty consistently that the presidential election is in no way connected to us getting RCV. We will only get RCV from a bottom-up effort to shift individual state legislatures.

And look how bad they screwed him by choosing Hilary. How’d that work out?! lol

She won more votes. There was non super-delegate rat fuckery thwarting the popular vote. Put that on the voters. But his campaign was popular enough that the party platform adopted some of his campaign goals:

What did he win? Included in the new platform is his call for a $15 per hour minimum wage, Social Security expansion, a carbon tax to price its impact on the environment, tough language on Wall Street reform and antitrust, opposition to the death penalty, and a “reasoned pathway for future legalization” of marijuana.

Also after his campaign we saw more progressives running and winning around the country. Just because he didn’t win the nomination doesn’t mean he utterly failed to achieve anything. And that’s what I’m talking about with winning state races in the Democratic primaries to fight for RCV and force the party left.

It’s the very duopoly you’re stuck with that makes real change impossible without challenging it.

Indeed. But no 3rd party candidate has received a single EC vote since 1968. Voting 3rd party for president in the general clearly isn’t doing a god damn thing to shift the parties.

While ranked-choice voting (RCV) is important, dismissing third-party voting as useless only keeps the system locked in place.

I never said it was useless. But it’s true that voting for a less popular left-leaning is going to reduce the number of votes that the most popular right-leaning candidate needs to receive to beat the most popular left-leaning candidate.

Voting for a third party is part of pushing for bigger reforms like RCV—it’s a step towards showing there’s demand for alternatives outside the same old two-party narrative.

I don’t think you will get the ear of the Democratic party by skipping the primaries or voting in a 3rd party primary. They don’t know how you vote in a general, so you showing up in their primary is the only way they know reliably that you have opinions for their direction. Bernie succeeded in shifting the Democratic party left by running in the Democratic primary. Lets do that at the local levels, especially for primary candidates who support RCV. There’s pretty much no chance we can get RCV as a federal law, SCOTUS would absolutely knock it down as unconstitutional, so that fight has to come through the state legislatures.
