If it isn't broke, don't fix it. It simply downloads torrents, I wouldn't worry about it.

I didn't believe you, but one search told me otherwise.

"as of May 2022, 160 monks, nuns, and ordinary people have self-immolated in Tibet since 27 February 2009" ref.

Your take should still consider the differences in these issues and the prevalence of Israel v Palestine in western media and why that might be, instead of sounding butthurt a dude's sacrifice for something he believed in worked somewhat. If it makes you happier it's probably gone with the next news cycle.

It's easier/faster/cheaper to just pay for it and they get a lot of already existing data as well. Even if they'd pay the low price of a dollar for every monthly active user on Reddit to switch over to lemmy, that'd cost them 850 millions.

So if I'm not both a woman and a man I can't see sexism? That's an easy way out of responsibility.

I don't mean you can't choose to stay clear of HP yourself. What I'm hinting at is that you can disassociate with a group without the drama. HP fans aren't all bigots, that's obvious right? I like Wagner's music, I'm not a fucking Nazi. It's such a weird hill to die on with everything going on.

And choice to be trans? I dunno if it’s a choice anymore than I “choose” to love the same sex.

It's not the point, and I hope you got that but just couldn't leave without slapping my wrist.

Many of these answers are so on spot, I wonder if OP have reached enlightenment without realizing.

This wasn't what you asked for, but I have to add it in here: I switched to YouTube music because I was told the shuffle actually was random there. From my experience the past couple of months it seems to be the case, at the very least it's better. But discovering new music (without putting in much effort) has been harder. Their playlist sorting is non-existent (you're stuck with alphabetic order, no folders). And for some idiotic reason the playlists are shared with YouTube... Everything with it, except for its working shuffle, is horrendous.

How the fuck can Spotify just not have a true fucking random shuffle, it's so annoying! It does everything else fairly well, but I'm not switching back to starting a playlist of 8+ hrs and getting a recognizable pattern depending on what I skip and don't. Or whatever goddamn algorithm they think is better than /dev/urandom.

This gave me hope for a while, but I've now given up: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/All-Platforms-Option-to-have-a-true-shuffle/idi-p/4880594/page/103#comments

How do you check what is eating up all your memory/cpu?

When I did it I just forwarded my mails to the new service (fastmail) and changed mail address whenever a mail got forwarded in. When I didn't receive a forwarded mail for a year or so I deleted my old mail and never looked back.

If you use a password manager this get easier though, since you can just lookup where the old mail is used.

Have you tried sidebery? When I found tree layout for tabs to be a thing I haven't looked back.
