  • As someone from a country that Quobuz doesnt support, and someone not willing to give money to a US owned company (Tidal), what are my options for streaming music? Something that has playlists obviously, and allows me to save the stuff I like. Possibly being able to add downloaded songs if theyre not available in the services library(?)

    Is there anything like this? Most suggestions here on lemmy seem to be for Quobuz or Tidal















    • From a different device, start changing all logins/passwords
    • Move your 2 factor authenticator to a different device for now, while changing passwords (set it up on the uncompromised device)
    • Write everything new down in a notebook temporarily
    • Once everything is changed and the password manager no longer contains valid passwords, factory reset the phone if you cant get a new one.
    • Re-add everything from the notebook to the (assumed) clean device, and destroy the pages of the notebook that you wrote sensitive stuff on
    • Re-move authenticator to factory reset phone after a while

    Assuming you got compromised by downloading something, or opening a phishing email or something like that, a factory reset should be enough to clear everything malicious. Im assuming this isnt a targetted attack against you specifically. If it is, the attack may be more complicated and go deeper than a factory reset could clear. Im not a phone guy though, so I dont know much about how that would work, I just believe it is likely to be possible.


  • My point was basically to try to make you look at it from a different perspective. Sure 1 euro is better than 0, but thats not the point I was trying to make.

    That looks at it from the perspective of the person in need of that 1 euro, or however much money. Im asking you to look at it from the perspective of the one giving the money. Now ask yourself why they would give just 1, if they can give 5, or 10, or give 1 consistently every month, assuming theyre rich-rich compared to the homeless guy.

    The reason seems to be that the person giving the money doesnt care about helping in any way, they just want to do the minimum so that they can claim they help abd support the homeless.

    Context and intent matters when discussing things like this, I think. If the intent is self serving, we shouldnt be treating FUTO as a beacon of OSS support. What we should be doing is acknowledging that they did give a small one time donation to various projects, but also recognising that it was for self-serving reasons. I’m sure theres individuals who have given more than 1000 in single payments to these projects, or less but more consistently (monthly, every 6 months, every year, etc). What makes FUTO more of a supporter than those individuals?

    Anyway, I hope I explained my thinking well enough :)

    Edit: I gave you the upvote even though I dont entirely agree with the way you see this matter, simply because I saw you got downvoted probably by someone else who disagrees with your opinion. However, upvotes/downvotes should be used to rate quality of discussion, not agreement/disagreement with the content.

    I agree, but only one of those 2 countries has proclaimed (in law if im not mistaken, but i may be wrong) that they would intervene militarily to prevent one of their own from being tried by the ICC, regardless of the actual crimes they’ve committed. And im talking about sending special forces to extract said alleged criminal against humanity, from another sovereign nation, abiding by its own laws.

    Guess which of the 2 I’m talking about? Russia is by no means the good guy, but its not a binary issue, as most people on the internet seem to react when these 2 countries are mentioned in the same sentence. Russia being ‘bad’ doesn’t automatically make the US ‘good’ and vice versa.

    Sure, who’s worse shifts back and forth over the years, but to my eyes, currently, the US is worse, and its been that way for a long time. Way before trump. Anyone who thinks this all started when trump took office, is a bit deluded.

    But you’re 100% right, send both of them to the ICC, in an ideal world.
