In Foobar2000, Shpeck allows you to run those old Winamp vis plugins - I have Milkdrop 2.2 with all those old classics. They still look great on modern tech!
I’ve been building my music collection since I was ripping CDs by hitting play, recording in Win95 Sound Recorder and running the .wav through LAME (nowadays EAC to flac, of course). I see no need to pay a subscription to listen to my music, when I can just use that same money to buy and own the albums* and not worry about them disappearing.
also means more money goes to the artist
Also Navidrome + Symfonium means I can still stream to my phone so the only benefit Spotify etc has is new music, but YouTube (+ uBlock) gives me that.
Do you also attack dictionaries for explaining offensive words? The person I’m talking to never used the term, they merely explained the meaning behind the number.
What you are doing is shooting the messenger. Please target your outrage more carefully in future.
Yeah, it’s probably shooting the messenger. Reminds me of once on Reddit where someone had asked a similar question and I’d replied with a sourced quote from the dictionary and got complaining replies and downvotes.
I missed the news that K-9 was becoming Thunderbird for Android. I used to use it before switching to FairEmail, I think because development had stalled. It’s a solid choice, hopefully they don’t add too much in like they have with the desktop version.
What’s this kind of thing called in linguistics? Where you parse the sentence wrong (for comedic effect in this case), something about dangling modifiers, maybe?
Really I was arguing with the “anti-Israel” part, since I don’t think that’s merely interpreted as meaning you’re not in favour of Israeli policy. I was attempting to agree with the top of the thread’s implication that “anti-Israel” feels like it’s been used as a short step away from “antisemitic”, which Israel has a long history of using in the face of any criticism.
I disagree that being in favour of something means you agree with everything they do, but for the record, I’ve been to Palestine several times and I didn’t liked what Israel was doing back then, let alone the current disgusting atrocities that Netanyahu’s currently perpetuating.
I am pro both existing side by side, which is pro-Palestine and pro-Israel. Are you calling the many Israelis who would like to peacefully co-exist anti-Israel?
Maybe his analysis considered this, but the article doesn’t mention real-world factors like the climate crisis, the cost of living crisis, and what feels like the resurgence of fascism and the spectre of World War 3. It’s noted that liberal families seem more susceptible - perhaps it’s because right-wing families are more likely to believe these things aren’t real, or aren’t a problem?
