I think it goes without saying, but trans rights.

FOSS is a community effort, and a proper community includes everybody.

It probably stems from me being a bit outdated 🤣. I still listen to vinyl at home and grew up DLing usenet and torrents. There should be a solution to stream directly from content thats accumulated through different disjointed services. Bandcamp, Tidal, digital downloads all need a singular platform

I use Jellyfin and an audio player client but you can begin by amassing music by going to thrift shops and marketplaces to buy CDs and rip them onto a HD or start sailing the seven seas with usenet or torrents and amass your collection that way. If you want more info, I can share my setup with you.

Spotify needs to go. Period. Use any of the far better alternatives or self host your own music streaming service.

Deporting people for their political views or for participating in protests doesn’t make our country safer and is antithetical to free speech.

No president should be allowed to remove people from our country just because they dissent.

I ended up trying out the OG Assetto Corsa with mods. I know I'm 10+ years late but it's been fun to mess around with.

Chronic Future for the win! I was just playing Burnout 3 the other day and Chronic Future came on the in car radio. That game has an incredible soundtrack!

It feels like early days of threads but somehow better.
