It also doesn’t matter if they say they ruled it out and then do it anyway. Their cult worships them no matter what. I just saw a woman whose kid was murdered by ICE and she still supports Trump. Also his fans love the Iran war. The propaganda doesn’t even matter anymore, which is why it’s so sloppy and lazy, because their base will eat it up no matter what. They’re have complete faith in Trump. Hell, they’ll make up their own propaganda in their heads at this point, justifying literally anything.

You really want to see him martyred when he’s on his last leg?

Take up everything with “X” in the name to really piss him off.

We can call it Pizzaga-- wait, no nevermind.

Yep, because we all know the last people who would be pedophiles are billionaires.

Awesome, great to hear that!

I think the open version might not have the ms extension store configured. There should be a separate AUR package for that. At least there is for VSCodium. Alternately you can just grab the VSIX for the extensions you want from the MS version and install them on the open one. Personally I don’t know what open vss is so I use codium.

He’s also not a billionaire. Him and Jimmy Wales are true heroes of our time. Their work has shaped the modern world yet their fortunes are nowhere near even a single billion. It seems almost absurd and dumb on their part that they didn’t even make 1 billion in decades given their impact, but turns out that’s just the normal rate of accumulation when you don’t just sell out or steal the work of others.

I keep hoping that all the demonic shit Aaron Rupar is covering will eventually push him to the left. I’m amazed how he can still be a milquetoast lib while being constantly exposed to evil.

Well you never know when it’s a MAGA event…

I’m inclined towards the opposite: Kirk would have been too valuable to them. He’s been one of the biggest propagandists and doing good work. Plus his debate shtick works really well on unsuspecting people with no opinions because he comes off like a well informed and well meaning “debate me” dork rather than a chud sociopath (though he is more like that on his shows, especially the one with Jack Posobiec who’s a more unhinged nazi, but only the truly committed end up watching those since it’s a much less entertaining format than “Kirk DESTROYS student” vertical clips).

I mean, compare that to when Matt Walsh does public debates with young people: the sleaze on that guy is permanent, he gives off Handmaid’s Tale commander vibes. The newbie reaction is less “he seems to have a point” and more “why is he allowed around minors”. Basically what I’m saying is I think they would have picked someone less crucial to their operation if it were a Trump hit job, someone like Jack Posobiec or even smaller. It would have had literally the same effect.

Wait, really? Nobody knew him? I guess it makes sense: everyone knows the song but nobody knows the singer. Only in this case it’s not a song, it’s propaganda and indoctrination. Like how if Christopher Rufo kicked the bucket, few would know he literally invented the CRT scare.

I hope the old gods and new gods eat each other alive, but they’ve been collaborating so well* up to now, unfortunately for us.

*It’s not all been fun in the sun: the fallout between Trump and Elon, the H1B infighting, and now the Epstein stuff (arguably also popularized by Elon). So yeah, there have been some notable instances of divergence. One can only hope there will be more.

I hate that my Q family will believe exactly this: that he did it with the goal of waking people up.

Oh really? I didn’t know about that. Thanks! I meant they theoretically have full control over the app since they build the whole thing, rather than have it run in a browser environment which they can’t control and could theoretically be altered with extensions etc. Seems they’re not that great at controlling their own app either, lol

I know the main topic is ditching Spotify, but on the secondary topic of screwing over Spotify…

I realized that you can “pirate” Spotify (i.e. listen indefinitely as if you had a paid account) if you have uBlock Origin on Edge. No setup needed, it just works. Most likely any Chromium-like browser will work.

Unfortunately, I haven’t got it to work with Zen browser which is Firefox based so I’m not sure if all Firefox based browsers are affected. The workaround I have for now is just have Edge open with Spotify in the background, and control it from the Spotify interface on Zen. Never download the app, they control that fully.

Funnily enough, I also got ad-free Spotify play on Amazon Echo when I was controlling it from Edge, though I never tried with Zen because I don’t use Echo anymore.

PS: For audiophiles this is probably not gonna fly, as you don’t have access to the highest bit rates iirc.

To each their own, I suppose. I’m fine with people opting to work more, like maybe get a second job or something if they feel like they have too much time with nothing to do, but that’s the thing: they should be able to choose. A shorter work week wouldn’t impede someone like you, it would actually help you make more money by freeing up time for you to take on more projects. Think of it more as “my time, my choice”.

Nah, I need to unload all the work stuff from my brain for a straight few days. If anything, I’d rather have 2x10h days since I tend to overflow the 8-9h anyway.

Love that I’m at a point in my life where basically anything has the same chance of getting me. It’s like being flanked from all sides.
