Step 1. Purchase 8-10 albums from your favorite artists on Bandcamp (Bandcamp typically has flac files)

2. Subscribe to Tidal with a VPN in a poor country for very cheap ($4).
3. Pay for one month of one of the music migration services ($5).
4. Use Tidal-dl to get all the FLACs your heart desires.

Honestly you can probably keep Tidal, it’s cheap and good. But always download the FLAC files for anything you don’t want to lose.

Did you find an update? BPC is still not working for me on The NY Times.

Sudachi is a Yuzu fork getting semi-regular updates.

oooh edgy hows that bachelors of philosophy degree coming

Yes they have for a while! Much nicer.

Just ignore the labels for a second- would you prefer to vote for the nazi-funded candidate?

Any idea what the file format is? I hope it’s CHDs.

FreshRSS needs better filters. I wish I could just say “If [title] contains ‘PREMIUM’ then delete”.

Nope I don’t have that checked. I also marked all as read and ran a purge manually and it did not delete them.

Thanks for the responses I may just totally wipe then reinstall with my preferred settings and see if it takes this time.

I had not noticed that option! Thank you so much. It did not solve the problem in my original post but it’s still very helpful.

That would be unfortunate if true. Honestly, if I could I would do away with the “read/unread” concept altogether. Are there really people out there who want to read absolutely everything in their feeds?

In the settings menu I have set the “maximum number of articles to keep” at 25, and yet my feeds have more than 25 articles in them.

You gotta pump those numbers up those are rookie numbers

This is super helpful, I wonder if Calibre-Web uploads can be handled this way too.

Post is about Trump and republicans

Somehow you make it about Democrats

Proceed to complain about in actions the democrats have not taken on a date that has not happened yet

Hm I wonder what side you’re on.

For newbies qbitrorrent’s search is more than adequate enough to replace steps 5-7. But this is a great guide!

Any discussion/advice community that allows low-effort meme slop will inevitably become choked out by it. I understand I am in the minority and the mods like having the memes, but eventually we’ll need /c/piracydiscussion if content of this formatting is permitted.

Obviously 99% of people here would agree that Aaron Swarts’ story is a tragedy. But simple low-hanging fruit content is not what I want this place to have. And like it or not this community is likely to become the single biggest place to discuss piracy as Reddit inevitably cracks down on it.

I would transfer the playlist to Tidal (there are services out there that will import everything for a few dollars), then use Tidal-dl. The quality is much higher.

“Money as a vestigial cultural relic” is a great concept. You’re right, Latinum doesn’t provide the Ferengi with anything but status.

I think about this exact topic a lot and I think you are mostly right, but I also think that open source replicators would be an agent of change, especially if one could be used to manufacture parts to make another. Of course, without land to make things on conflicts will arise. But once the need for money is removed some people will choose to “opt out” of society and start building a parallel one similar to how the open source community exists alongside closed source software.
