  • I don't think this is implied. The idea is probably that, like so many things, it's on a spectrum and 'asexual' would describe one end of the spectrum. There is another end of the spectrum, but no one is saying everyone is on the outer end of it. But I must admit, I do somewhat share your sentiment, I've read lots of things by self-proclaimed asexuals in which I recognize myself, but I also think I have a quite average sexdrive. It makes me wonder if some people aren't just a bit too eager to define themselves as different from the norm. I'm not talking about the further end of the spectrum, but there are those that really aren't that different from your average person, but seem to want a box to fit in. Reading their description I would place them somewhere in the middle and still they describe themselves as asexual. Not that I care, go ahead, define yourself whatever way you want, if you want to think that you're very different go ahead, it really doesn't bother me, and who knows maybe you're right, who am I to tell you you're wrong?

  • I don't know about spotify recommendations, but given the incredible amount of user data they have it makes a lot of sense that they have the best recommendations. I love LB for providing a FOSS alternative, and though they steadily grow, they are still comparatively tiny. But I think they are our best shot at noncorporate automated music recommendations.

    For your questions, I have no idea. I'm not tech savvy at all myself.

  • I'm very much in favor of people supporting artists, but I don't feel like people should be obliged to do so. I don't believe copyright is doing society any good, and I think everyone should be free to download/listen to whatever they please. If you make music and set it free in the world, let the world listen. If they like it, they might support you, and if they don't that's too bad. Feel free to disagree, but that's my point of view. If I pay for music it's mostly by going to concerts. I've also donated to artists, for instance to Cardiacs when their lead singer got ill. And Major Parkinson through their kickstarter campaigns.

  • yes, you can connect them and you can import from last.fm. I was in the same situation as you, first I had both simultaneously running for some time, because I needed to get comfortable with the idea of removing last.fm. I also have data since 2008 so I felt a bit insecure 'risking' that. But after a while I concluded there was really no need for me to keep last.fm so I removed it. Haven't had any regrets. ListenBrainz isn't perfect but, despite it's small development team, it's sgnificantly improving every year.

    https://listenbrainz.org/settings/music-services/details/ Here you can "Connect to your Last.FM account to import your entire listening history and automatically add your new scrobbles to ListenBrainz."

  • Pirate the music, use ListenBrainz (which is FOSS) to analyze your listening behavior and make recommendations

  • MusicBrains (I don’t remember RN the name of music exploration based on that

    ListenBrainz

  • you have too much stuff. time to minimalize!

  • Russia tests cutting itself their citizens off from the rest of the internet

    The state would certainly continue to interfere with the rest.

  • Unexpectedly, but apparantly Korea is reunited again

  • I just finished reading Amusing Ourselves to Death. In it Neil Postman explains the apathy you mention in a way that I found very convincing. Although the book is from 1985 it's as relevant as ever, perhaps even more so given our current media climate. It's worth a read, though I would advise reading Brave New World in advance.

  • How will Musk manage all the conflicts of interest, between all of his companies and assets and his role in government. His business interests are so large and diverse that it literally can't be done, can it? Already got the sense that the US is going down the path of oligarchic kleptocracy. But how shameless and out in the open will it be?

  • Can someone inform me about what's wrong with lemmy.ml?

  • Temu is quite literally poisonous.

  • It took me a while to realize this is actually true. Reality is amazing.

  • You mean Mastodon?

  • You don't need tariffs, you need taxes. The problem isn't that your economy isn't doing well, it's that too much of the wealth goes to the top and too little to lower and middle class. It's not normal that one man has more than 250 billion.

  • You're thinking of MusicBrainz Picard, the music file tagging software that is powered by MusicBrainz, a music metadata encyclopedia. ListenBrainz is a separate project, though it also makes use of the MusicBrainz data.
