Does anyone know what’s the difference between the

🤝 I download new music to check if I like it, and if I do then go over to Qobuz and buy it DRM-free and download the flac file, which is my flac file. Happy to support the musicians.
A reminder also to boycott, as much as possible, those thirteen major publishers – most or all of which are stealing from academia:
APRESS MEDIA, LLC; CENGAGE LEARNING, INC.; ELSEVIER INC.; HACHETTE BOOK GROUP, INC.; HARPERCOLLINS PUBLISHERS LLC; JOHN WILEY & SONS, INC.; MCGRAW HILL LLC; BEDFORD, FREEMAN & WORTH PUBLISHING GROUP, LLC D/B/A MACMILLAN LEARNING; MACMILLAN PUBLISHING GROUP, LLC; PEARSON EDUCATION, INC.; PENGUIN RANDOM HOUSE LLC; SIMON AND SCHUSTER, LLC; AND TAYLOR & FRANCIS GROUP LLC
Agree, and other bands and composers have used and use microtones. I’m just happy that, thanks to the popularity of this duo, other bands and music systems will also receive more interest. That’s a positive side.
There’s always some exaggeration or downright ignorance coming from different sides, unfortunately…
Sharing similar music is of course interesting.
But this is a community for fans. Discussions about the technical skills, production volume, or whatever of other bands are welcome, as long as they’re made in a non-disparaging way. I think one has the right to be a fan of something or someone, and to enjoy its popularity if that happens.
Of course you have the right not to like something or not to agree with its popularity. But If your point is to be disparaging, it probably makes more sense to create a community for similarly-minded people: you can criticize the band or its popularity there as much as you like without offending one another.
Thanks – my fault using the wrong way to link to the community! Fixed now.
Yeah, it’s because my brain has only two neurons and both were still used to listen to them, sorry. Fixed now!
You’ve read the stances of all different people. I agree with most and I’m a bit more conservative: I switch to a LTS (even-numbered) release only when its main non-LTS (odd-numbered) upgrade is out; and skip all non-LTS.
183·3 months agoDuring our in-person visa appointment in Seattle, a shooting involving CBP occurred just a few parking spaces from where we normally park for medical outpatient visits back in Portland. It was covered by the news internationally and you may have read about it. Moments like that have a way of clarifying what matters and how urgently change can feel necessary.
Our visas were approved quickly, which we’re grateful for. We’ll be spending the next year in France, where my wife has other Tibetan family. I’m looking forward to immersing myself in the language and culture and to taking that responsibility seriously. Learning French in mid-life will be humbling, but I’m ready to give it my full focus.
Sounds like a splendid person.
It’s also a smart move considering that, with age-verification laws advancing, it looks like a good part of the Linux world will become with time another instrument of mass surveillance.

1·3 months agoLuckily I can still share this here. Indeed, many thanks to the mods of this community for not deleting this.
I don’t think enough developers realize that the majority of users does not want this. They’re acting exactly like the legislators: “we don’t give a shit about what the people think”.
The legislators won’t take the Linux community seriously, because the developers aren’t taking the community seriously either.
In the Community thread of https://discuss.kde.org/
It isn’t a threat, anymore than their decisions are threats. I suppose the developers give at least a minimum of weight to what the users think, so why shouldn’t we politely say what we think and explain why?
You’re right about posting in the Kubuntu forums. However, I now see that surprisingly there’s only one post about age verification in KDE Discuss, and only one on Kubuntu forums. So I feel that they’re simply blocking posts about this topic. In one of said posts there was a link to another related post, which apparently has been deleted.
Thank you both, sounds good, I’ll probably switch to it.
