Bandcamp, Soulseek, Navidrome, ListenBrainz.

Has been a pretty solid Spotify-replacement stack.

For those that are streaming their own collection, I highly recommend scrobbling to ListenBrainz for discovery.

And if we take this as an actual attempt at a better handheld experience, then this is just further proof that competition breeds better products for consumers.

To use your analogy, it’s like someone said, “Well, if you want a Michelin 5-star steak au jus, then your wallet is gonna take a hit”. And you replied, “That’s like saying in order to eat dinner you need to raise your own livestock and train for years as a professional chef”.

I’m not saying corporate LLMs are bad, or that they have no upside. I’m saying your scale for what’s essential and what’s a luxury is alarming.

That is… literally my point.

You’re comparing very disparate things. And I already pointed out the downside. No one here is whining about anything.

Yeah, this thing that’s notorious for hallucinating and has only recently become even somewhat reliable is essential.

How did all those students from 2021 even survive??

Jesus, we’re absolutely fucked.

If you think LLMs are as fundamental as having a computer or internet access, then I really just don’t know what to say.

And you don’t need any of that. You don’t even need a local LLM.

So if you decide you want it, then that’s on you, and you have made the choice to give up your data.

Or because the bulletproof vest company might sell you a faulty one as part of a conspiracy to kill you.

New copypasta just dropped

Them:

Who the fuck see a dark blob and think “this has to be a black person”??

You:

No one

And you cite the article to back that up, and yet nowhere in your quote does it say that no one sees it and thinks “this has to be a black person”.

Curious… 🧐🤔🤨

The irony of that last statement lmao

Already happened once!

And they didn’t say anyone made an actual complaint. Did you even read their comment?

Uhhh actually no. Show me in the article the specific quote where they say “no one believe the character is racist”.

“They” being the people concerned that others will find the character racist. Did you even read the article, bro?

Imagine being this tediously pedantic.

And yet the concern that it might be seen as racist was taken seriously enough for the removal to go through.

I can’t believe you’ve been doing this for over a year already.
