My condolences.

If we’re talking PC applications, I have been starting to use Strawberry Music Player a lot more than before for the audio files on my desktop and laptop.

For android, it’s a tie between the 2 most used apps outside of Voyager: Auxio and PipePipe.

Auxio messed up some things a long while ago, causing some of my songs on my SD card that would previously work perfectly in app to be unable to display how much time is left in a song, select specific moments, or even how long the audio file is in a very rare case. But overall just works fine enough for my local music playback needs.

PipePipe is nice enough. If yt Revanced refuses to let me play a video while in “incognito” mode, then I can just boot it up in this NewPipe fork. Also nice for the very niche time I wanna watch a video from NicoNico/NicoDouga ( Japanese video hosting platform ) because the person has the upload on there and no other official way of viewing it.

You just know they won’t touch those companies because how else are they gonna get their bribe money?

I’ll gladly take even the most worst singing done by a born deaf 5 year old before I start intentionally listening to fully AI generated music.

So I must be one of the biggest nobody’s out there.

Fair enough.

I may not like the .ml political stance, but there are definitely people on there that may have non-political things worth listening to, which is why I haven’t bothered blocking them. They may have some good opinions on open source software and such. I just avoid their news community because I know I will disagree with them and their stance.

On the whole hate speech thing, I posted something about Odysee here and someone made some hopeful “if enough people start using it and drowning out the hate speech” kind of comment. IDK if I can find it because I’d need to do a deep dive into my old .ee account, but I don’t believe that things like hate could ever be drowned out on fringe sites like that.

I haven’t been necessarily patriotic for a long time because why pledge allegiance to a single nation? The only reason I really care about July 4 is the fireworks. It’s more tradition than anything that I see them.

Anyways, both of his terms make me feel vindicated in not being patriotic in a country.

This is the type of ad I absolutely don’t mind because they aren’t for absolutely soulless companies that will fuck your grandma and then sue you for emotional damages afterwards.

Regardless of whether you’re in a part of the country where the effects of you speaking up won’t have as much consequence, I don’t think it’s morally wrong to try and keep yourself, friends, family, and loved ones safe by not speaking out.

It’s either 1, 2, or 6 for me. All depends on what I’m wearing that day because I sure as hell ain’t changing at night if I don’t have to.

Not gonna say which way I do it because that was my old phone dot pin thing and I’m paranoid, but for that I did something different to both of them.

This idea that you could have Cloudflare help by telling off AI crawlers sounds nice, but how long until it becomes a premium feature that requires loads of money to operate because AI companies lobby them to make it inaccessible to the masses? Or something equally as bad happens?

I noticed this too when I tried going to the website on both ungoogled chromium and TOR. Every single click would lead to a porn site that was most likely filled with 300 pieces of malware per pixel. Was absolutely a terrible experience going to that website without a functional adblock like ublock origin.

I absolutely hate cloudflare because they always block me whenever I visit a site while connected to any VPN server on Proton, regardless of country. Even when I’m not connected to a VPN I sometimes have trouble with them deciding my connection is suspicious despite not having anything that should trigger it.

Regardless of who did it and their ideology, purposefully killing firefighters of all people is literal domestic terrorism.
