the switzerland experience is using things in english, half of it being german anyways and getting ads in french and italian

That model, of course, also neatly predicted the failure we're currently seeing with competing streaming services; which not only exceed the recommended price when you combine them, but also aren't interoperable *and* have DRM interfering with it. Which is why people are returning to piracy.

This article is a fascinating read, and gives some insight into the history of piracy and music streaming: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_mus

@Dee It apparently only does this on the issue search box, but when you use the regular project search box and select 'issues' it works fine

I have multiple questions

10-ish minute oil pastel sketch without reference. It's a bit wonky but I like the textures ^.^ #MastoArt

@ben @Dee *Directly* south, and far enough that it can be considered a genuine difference in latitude beyond measurement error

@Dee @ben I imagine that your local equivalent of Health and Safety might have some Opinions about that

I'm starting a small call for entries for a yet-to-exist 'zine on tech for resting, being lazy, letting be, and having a break. Share wide and far.

--

For the first Fallow Zine, la Jachère is interested in contributions about the following topics, but not limited to them.

- Lazy tech or tech for the lazies
- Tech that falls into place, fits, is just enough
- Tech for rest, pause, have a break, take a breath
- Tech for preservation, of the status quo, of energy, of a moment, of equilibrium

More on jache.re/notes/call-fallow-zin

- Deadline: 21. June 2022 (more or less… deadlines are thresholds to play with)

cis people LOVE to be like "ik this is controversial and idk if im allowed to say this because im cis but (transphobic take) (transphobic take) (extremely transphobic take) (facts twisted in bad faith) (transphobic take)" and all the other cis people in the room will be like "THANK you ive been too scared to say that!"

@ben @Dee It'd be more impressive if they differed in latitude but not in longitude or altitude

Transphobia in policy, prison reform policy, ACAB 

It's funny that they came to an abolitionist organization and abolisionist activist for input on their horrifically transphobic policy, and tried to pull the "see were doing amazing work"

Like nah if you wanna make prisons better for trans people how bout you start off by doing away with prisons as a whole, and gender based correctional policy on top of that

Fuck cops, fuck the industrial prison complex

@f0x I mean, the idea itself is pretty good actually, the dystopian component is really just in how they'd be used by employers; as an argument that surely doing overtime wouldn't be such an issue and why would you bother going home at all

@RixRaw (I think you can combine it with "playing URLs that youtube-dl understands")
