Storj Tardigrade with client-side encryption. I use rclone so you could even encrypt it before hitting the Storj library if you’re extra paranoid (among other things like caching, chunking, etc).

Oh good, I’m not missing out then. I moved around quite a bit between Deezer, Tidal, random piracy in FLAC until finally landing on Apple Music.

I remember when YouTube Music first came out it was pretty much just the audio from the videos in the most atrocious quality. Has it changed since then?

I guess it’s their “pay for ads” tier which sounds fucking stupid to me.

And a small part of that I think is realizing that a ton of stuff we use plastic for is totally unnecessary. How many times have you opened something and thought “fuck that’s a lot of plastic?”

To me it’s unbearably frustrating how much companies use plastic.

Windows XP was the start of the worst of Windows. Keep 9x out of NT!

It’s not literally listening 24/7, people are insane if they think it’s doing that. And even if it were, just block all the ad, tracking domains and/or IP blocks and be done with it.

More evil from everyone’s favorite regime I mean administration. Animal welfare aside this only causes victims of domestic violence to delay or abandon looking for refuge.

Of course, they already know that and cruelty—as usual—is the point.

I’m just using a Hario pour over coffee set, it was like $30 altogether.

Part of my story also involves getting away from Keurig because the machines are so unreliable and the K-Cups are so terrible for the environment.

I used to be like this but once I found really good coffee beans (to grind myself) I only needed a bit of agave and an unsweetened oat milk creamer.

Part of the change is due to going vegan (no more mint Oreo dairy creamer) but it forced me to discover better flavors.

Oh believe me, I know all those issues exist. The idea would simply never happen.

Yeah, I know my idea is a pipe dream—it would never happen due to greed.

Are you talking about Texas?

Direct Action Everywhere is an incredible organization and I’m proud to say I donate to them regularly.

When I was like 10 I wondered why hardware didn’t just have some flash chip with its driver source code written in a standardized way. The idea sounds corny in retrospect, but honestly why isn’t it a thing?

Yeah I’m confused. After traveling abroad I’ve found the US has tons of variety in stores.

I’m tired of seeing his fucked up facial expressions everywhere I look too. Who smiles upside down?

I’m on the same level as the person you responded to, but I do use a phone a lot at home. Maybe they were talking about “not at home” usage.

No I haven’t
