I’m autistic and extremely faceblind and despite this being potentially useful to me personally, I really don’t think this should be legal at all.

I also want to say, don’t let anyone use people like me as a reason why it should be. I dont know what’s scarier to me, being identified accurately by it which, stalkers and abusers will love, or being misidentified by it and experiencing what to me will seems like arbitrary harassment and violence.

Great job Ray-Ban! Really good look! Thanks Meta! Connecting us to people whether we like it or not!

jfc this is so sad because it would actually be hard for a human coder of very little ability to do it this wrong. at least it has its own instance i can block.

Adblocker? Some lists will block dynamic dns providers (badblock for sure has afraid.org). If so you want to exempt that since you legitimately use it.

The Smurfs. 65 minutes of using the word smurf in place of all swearing. Somewhere during the denouement a character should mouth but not say “Oh, fuck!” then two other smurfs are nearby. One says “what did they say?” The other smurf looks panicked and then offers without much conviction: I think it was, “Oh Smurf!” Big laughs. Scene.

Only the Earl of Sandwich may designate what is or is not a sandwich. The original Sandwich sandwich was Roast Beef. Anything else is just sparkling white bread.

100% misguided attempt, no offense intended and im sorry that i missed the mark that bad, for my part I’ll say more in the future about why. I did think it was a long shot but that’s exactly the kind of thing i could have included but didn’t. i hope you track it down and again, so sorry, not my intention to insult or be rude or otherwise waste your time

I just discovered Qobuz, its a French music streaming app that feels more like a record store than a streaming platform. You can also buy tracks, many of them in audiophile quality. Their pro plan includes a discount on lots of tracks.

What you dont get is anything algorithmic or AI at all. New music discovery is fully back on your hands but you’ll have to decide for yourself if the editorial content is enough to offset that

I am splitting my purchases between subvert.fm (over bandcamp these days, look into it and make your own call) and qobuz is the only music streamer I’ll use, they are at the top end of artist compensation per stream.

Discovery is a more interactive process for me now, but, i personally find it more rewarding. YMMV.

Even if you decide this isn’t for you, please use subvert or bandcamp or direct purchase in those rare cases that they offer it.

Stay away from the big names in this space, go to live shows, buy direct merch, we need to do anything we can to remove every intermediary between us and the artists we love and that provide the soundtracks to our lives.

I realize that I’m saying this all from a place of privilege. To those who can’t afford these things, i have been in that position. Do what you have to do, support artists as best you can, but only if you reasonably can. Look out for yourselves first.
