if an artist doesn’t provide you any of these options, you may have to pirate. this kinda sucks but you’re supporting artists significantly more than before on average just by trying to buy stuff when you can instead of spending your money on Evilcorp Streaming Service

if you want to support artists, you have to start buying cds and digital downloads and making them into a local mp3 collection. imo first you should check if the artist has their own merch storefront with digital downloads. then check if they have bandcamp. and then check if they’re on Qobuz.

Qobuz lets you actually download music from most of the same artists that are on spotify. the other suggestions in this thread are nearly just as exploitative as spotify is (and just as right wing, like, youtube….. not a good solution to this problem)

it’s just so bad imo :( like season one was the best season of the show since moffat took over, then season two… i know many of its flaws are due to scheduling and such other production issues but the show stopped working 4 me

simply no way someone can have this opinion wdym

if you think you have the juice

haha this reply did numbers huh. anyway go to cowlifesimrpg.com and use my code BIDEN to redeem 2000 vbucks in fortnite

an ad for the game Cow Life Sim RPG. a kitten is shown thinking about a new car. the man next to them is shown thinking about juice drinking, arson, gardening, and a cow. text at the bottom reads: “Cow Life Sim RPG” “not your kitty’s game”

it is so easy to do this! if you pirated all of your music and started slowly buying your library back with the money you're spending on spotify the money would actually go to people

the site in question is also really good and has genuinely changed my life

silentcrystaltears @silentcrystaltears.popelore.net · 13d

yeps. a solution for the social and money issues both is to just not let the space grow so big you cannot maintain it. the main social media i use has its technical concerns all handled, but there’s just one maintainer and it will just stop accepting new users when it gets too big to moderate or run

yeah, like the screensharing preventions on Netflix and such, it’s easily bypassed by disabling hardware acceleration in your browser so the site thinks you have a slightly worse computer

oh yeah gamemaker will have a minimum spec for sure, but not an important one for most users. good to know

not that i want to run it on a pentium (i do) but is this being made in an engine that actually would impact performance and compatibility with older systems or is “processor: yes” real
