La descentralización es importante ante los avances autoritaristas, pedosionistas y etnogenocidas.

Este 2026 ojalá sea el año de la descentralización de la comunicación. Ojalá.

Und nun kein #Spotify mehr. #Tidal ist auch interessant.

Gibt viele Gründe. Vor allem die schlechte Bezahlung der Künstler*innen.
Aber auch sowas ist ein guter Grund:

Und es ist wieder soweit: #DigitalIndependenceDay Nummer 2!
Ich habe mich letztes Jahr von #spotify getrennt und wieder meine analoge CD Sammlung erweitert. Diese dann als .ogg digitalisiert und streame sie mit #cloudbeats aktuell noch vom Google Drive. Hat jemand alternative Streamingvorschläge für die eigene Musikbibliothek? Möchte mein NAS nicht nach außen öffnen.

As #qobuz seems to be trending here, I also gave it a try. It's really nice and could replace #spotify for me. Something very essential for me is that there is a native #linux client: https://qbz.lol
And even better #QBZ is #opensource and really awesome. Bit-perfect playback, nice UI and various streaming options (chromecast, dlna) next to lots of other features. 😃

I know we’ve beaten this topic to death around here but what do we feel is the most ethical music streaming service?

It happened! My #Spotify is now a blank page! Call that #SpotifyWrapped 😎

Don't worry all my #music is still on my handcoded #HTML & #CSS #website: https://erikaautumn.com

Fun fact: Spotify only streams in #mp3 and I'd rather people listen to my music in #lossless formats for #free, than imperceptibly destroy their hearing with inter-sample peaking. It just makes it worse they pay for that. #CancelSpotify and go get all my music on #Bandcamp

Another read of this is that four organizations claim the right of ownership over "nearly all the world's commercial sound recordings". A cultural archive they claim is worth around half of US GDP, an immense sum.

Frankly it reads to me like an admission of their own guilt, the "brazen theft" being a projection, mens rea expressed as legal action.

Spotify and the three main major record labels sue Anna’s Archive for $13trillion for “brazen theft of millions of files containing nearly all of the world’s commercial sound recordings”
