Yes, but there’s no gating based on it so it doesn’t mean anything and you can turn it off.

Noooo the britbong threads

I wouldn’t use anything from Meta, no exceptions.

Yeah, ha ha, fuck off

give one the right to pirate

What if Margaret Mead, at her age, smoked grass

I use bandcamp to throw some cash at them, it’s a fair offer and ok price.

Some more things I’m sure of include that Spotify exists for the artists and won’t sneakily replace them with Suno-generated shit at first opportunity or fuck with people’s legacy of holy playlists or make the interface more cumbersome to alter users’ habits, or increase the price until the frogs start jumping out. It’s allowed to exists through the graces of biggest publishing conglomerates whose C-suite and shareholders get the lion’s share. Fuck fucking Spotify.

2025 has clankers resmearching.

It’s a) well enshittified to be cumbersome to use without apple’s shitty cloud, b) quality control is really bad last few releases and c) just a different class of a same phylum of fucking corporate roaches

Even if he does win, it’s still Windows, still under their control. It’d be maliciously and quite supraliminaly enshittified until it’s unusable. Just slap on a CachyOS or anything else open source

Because Homer struggles with it and tries to lose weight and the clothing industry marketing was unapologetic adiposity jingoism for a few years before us fascism overcorrected with Sweeney’s geans.

Just came here to say you can block them with ublock origin, tho the CSS selector might change in the future, now just filter this in UBO:

I was fully expecting that, but since enshittification recently intensified (Android 15’s bluetooth settings are a giant step back in usability), neither google play nor system in general nor anything from motorola has internet access on my phone, I send everything through RethinkVPN (from f-droid) and block all internet access except for apps that I explicitly allow. I’m just not updating anything except periodically Signal, IronFox and PipePipe.
