Is this just a thing for free users? I’ve not seen anything on there.
Do it.
It’s easy. Just use a Youtube-to-MP3 converter.
Way easier to arrr!
Do it
Im not even in the UK and im still going to cancel due to this. Thanks spotify, fuck you :)
I showed it something else with cheeks and now I’m on 15 watchlists.
ah from shady porn sites, like spotify and wikipedia. definitely protect kids from porn there. /s
Is wikipedia on the list? I see reddit is, lol. We might see an influx soon.
not yet, but the wikimedia foundation has been fighting against it expecting that it would be a class 1 site and require it.
We have to protect wikipedia
Here’s one way to help: https://kiwix.org/en/about-us/#our-story
Download Wikipedia to your own device. If it’s ever blocked or taken down you still have access and can help share information with others.
You can download different versions (e.g. without images) and different languages based on your needs.
There’s other resources available via kiwix as well but I’ve not really explored them to be honest
Does it run a local web server or is it all static files? Is it searchable?
We turn various online educational contents (such as Wikipedia, for example) into ZIM files, and these can be opened by Kiwix even if you have no connectivity whatsoever.
https://flathub.org/apps/org.kiwix.desktop
The ZIM file format is an open file format that stores website content for offline usage.[1] The format is defined by the openZIM project, which also supports an open-source ZIM reader called Kiwix. The format is primarily used to store the contents of Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects, including articles, full-text search indices and auxiliary files.[2][3]
So I feel like I’m now hearing more successful pushes for censorship through this stuff.
Just last week I learned how Texas has a bill that makes it so if anyone ever invested in green technology that they wouldn’t be allowed
https://www.texastribune.org/2022/08/24/texas-boycott-companies-fossil-fuels/
That makes no sense, surely everyone has invested in green energy through workplace retirement plans, no?
I saw a post saying /r/period required an age check.
They’re gonna censor as much as they can with this.
Ah, yes. As we all know, periods start at 18, when you’re a legal adult. It’s illegal to have periods before then
Does anyone have a good podcast app to replace Spotify that will keep track of progress across multiple devices? Bonus points if I can self host.
Antennapod with gPodderersync & Nextcloud? There are podcast apps for Nextcloud to play in the browser.
I use audiobookshelf. Obviously for audiobooks mainly, but it does podcasts and it works well.
Ha! Fuck. That.
I already moved to piracy for music because these days Spotify isn’t even giving the normal shuffle option for free users
Yeah I know it’s cheap but I’m a student so…
as an independent artist I just wanna add: the best thing you can do to support artists and bands is to buy directly / on bandcamp. spotify pays shit to artists, you need millions of listeners to get any meaningful amount of cash
of course that isn’t a sustainable option if you listen to a lot of different music. so piracy is an option that I wouldn’t mind. hell, if you like my stuff and just write to me I’ll send you mp3s for free
You should already be doing that anyways with the phantom artists scandal, thousands of fake artists made with AI so Spotify doesn’t have to pay real people.
I have a non-uk account but at the first sight of age verification I will delete my account.
DO WHAT YOU WANT CAUSE A PIRATE IS FREE! YOU ARE A PIRATE!
Should never have left it behind to be honest.
