sometimes there's a trade.. principles aren't free.. hence advertising and incoming Ai enshitification.. whereas paying $5 a month seems to get rid of the commercialization SEO adfuckery aspect of it all.. so.. perhaps the principles are maintained.. for $5 a month.
ublock origin, firefox and duckduckgo (duckduckgo does not call on Google search results) get rid of SEO adfuckery. All free.
$5 a month now...oh and looking at their wikipedia page, huh how about that - a tiered business model

the results on DuckDuckGo always where subpar to google
I never found that to be true. And paying to search is completely against the open and free principles the internet was founded on.

From his bandcamp page:
QuoteThe latest suite by composer (and Stars Of The Lid co-founder) Adam Wiltzie took shape following a move north from Brussels into the Flemish countryside, although it was initially inspired by a recurring dream wherein “if someone listened to the music I created, then they would die.” The album uniquely evokes and evades the allure of oblivion, keening between beauty and ruin, forever unresolved. Wiltzie cites the barbiturate of the title as both muse and sacred escape: “When you are sitting face forward on the daily emotional meat grinder of life, I always wished I could have some, so I could just fall asleep automatically and the feeling would not be there anymore.”
Recorded at Wilzie’s home studio, with strings added in Budapest at the old Hungarian National radio facility (Magyar Radio), the tracks feel simultaneously intimate and infinite, unfolding vistas glimpsed in an inner space. Robert Hampson of English drone rock icons Loop mixed the album, further lending the music a sense of cinematic expanse and oblique hypnosis. These are fugue states as much as fugues in a literal classical music sense – smeared epiphanies of uncertain memory and spatial dislocation, coaxed from the unconscious and set aloft.My review: A beautiful continuation of the work done with SOTL and AWVFTS. Instabuy.

"you've been making some good tracks" jfc.. buncha randos gonna spit out a lot of this shit and feel like they've been "working" all day making tracks.
also, that track is weird in parts. can hear the reverb doing something weird during some of the changes. it kind of smears and the reverb comes forward while the strings go to the back then they come back forward again.
Sounds like trash. Dynamics suck. plus that weird reverb thing you mentioned. Also totally unoriginal.

I fed it some Autechre style instructions. It is scary how good this is.
Hobos in the Sauna, the lyrics are all over the place timing wise. Moderately funny I guess?
That was some pretty generic techno in the second example - imo (sorry!)

ongoing lols @ all the babybrained kneejerk reactions this has brought out of Israel's celebrity defenders living in the lap of luxury a world away from all the death and destruction perpetrated in their name.
on the downside, a true disappointment to find that Rachel Riley, a woman I used to admire for her brains and humour and beauty altogether, is just as dumb as the rest of them.
I was confused at first because I thought Rachel Riley was famous for getting stuffed full of donkey dick, but then realized that's Riley Reid.

Donald Trump's net worth has fallen by just over $2 billion after the value of shares in his Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), which owns his Truth Social website, dropped dramatically over the space of just eight days.
The value of each TMTG share reached a high of $71.9 on March 27 before its profit and loss figures were released.Trump owns 78.75 million TMTG shares, meaning their total value at this point was about $5.7 billion. However the new financial information, and concerns over the TMTG's long-term future, saw the value of each share fall to $46.2 when markets closed on April 4, reducing the total value of Trump's portfolio to $3.6 billion, equating a total loss of about $2.1 billion. source
There’s no way it’s even worth that much.

there's a chunk of Neal Stephenson's book "Fall or Dodge in Hell" that takes place in such a seceded state in the USA that's based on religious doctrine/extremism and it's hilarious and kinda terrifying. also, he said when he wrote this book.. trump got elected snd he realized this chunk of the book wasn't crazy enough and he had to rewrite it or it wouldn't make sense. so, he reads part of it in this talk..
That was great - and a very interesting update to the book (which was also great). The idea of curated social media feeds is basically happening right now with the algorithms, though they aren't quite as extreme as in the book yet.
If Trump gets convicted and serves prison time (big ifs I know), do you think we'll see a receding of such public displays of racism and bigotry or will it get even worse?

Just picked up 1,4,7, and 8 on Bandcamp. Try and get the rest next week's payday.
Really liking this series - much more uplifting vibe than some of the other stuff.

That’s where DuckDuckGo comes in. SEO is usually optimized for Google. DDG doesn’t draw from Google search results. Ublock also works against ads when using Google.
Give Firefox a try again if you haven’t used it in a while. It’s way more solid these days. I use safari occasionally and very rarely Opera. If I could migrate away from Gmail I would for sure. But fuck knows how many things I’ve signed up for with either of my Gmail accounts.
Right that’s why I don’t use it.
