Didn't have to look far for that heart of gold, seems he already had it.

Yeah check again. It's pretty comprehensive now and it has not yet been littered with AI songs.
Only issue I have is sometimes songs in my Playlist will no longer be licensed with them and can't play anymore which is frustrating but rare.
Aufio quality is better than Spotify.

What is up with these CAPS? Are we copying the typographic INCONTINENCE of Trump?

I have noticed people have changed the way they type since around 2016, when trump became president. The amount of people putting "Sad." Behind a sentence is mindblowing. He gave so many people severe brainworms.

With a single word in caps like that, I read it as yelling the word loudly.

The way it's used here, by a PR conscious intermediary, it comes across more like bitter sarcasm. Like he would not let them release the statement on his behalf unless they yelled Facebook's name when calling them out. It is similar to when a child tells their sibling they aren't allowed to do something, but they say it loudly enough so that everybody understands the parent in the next room hears it too.

Edit to clarify: It is an awesome move to call them out, especially to people who blindly just use Meta's stuff. I read my own comment and worried it would sound like I was calling the Facebook call-out childish itself. It is not. It is a very good thing to fight for a better world, especially when you have the fame or resources that give you a louder voice.

Using caps for emphasis in places where formatting options don’t exist is a practice as old as the internet. I remember doing it in the usenet days.

I almost didn't get your joke there, good one.

Also, if you're into low/no budget films, Hooker With a Heart of Gold is a great one, but it's like 15-20 years old and it shows.

To me, it might signal unwillingness to work with Facebook, but still willingness to work with Meta.

I think a lot of that started ironically and then bled over to normal conversations.

This looks like the exact garbage I love, I'll definitely have to watch it.

typographic incontinence

This term tickled my linguizzle gland.

He gave so many people severe brainworms.

Luckily not you though. That Ivermectin helped!

No. Trump. Or maybe Russia.

Neil Young and Dolly Parton

Role models we need but don't deserve

Tempo I believe is free and open source

I mean he's literally a boomer.

he distributes himself.

The way people turned up their nose at the Fediverse when the Muskening happened to Twitter was heartbreaking. I knew social media was an addiction but when you find out your dealer is an absolute monster how do you not go looking for a new supplier?

But they all discarded Mastodon et al as cringe and teduoust. Like, the way even trans women influencers stayed on Twitter blew my mind. When bluesky got off the ground there was finally some migration, but not enough.

It really showed me how many of the "anti-capitalist" and the "anarchism" and "mutual aid" people were all just talk. The mutual-aid volunteer-based platform exists and you stuck with the fascist because it was easy and you're too cool for the nerd shit.

Well I hope Neil Young will remember: Zuckerberg don't want him around, anyhow.

I think it's still mostly used ironically. Though, it's hard to know anymore. I know it is among my social circles, at least.
