If you want Spotify for free and lyrics for free, just Google the lyrics...

ADA accessibility requirements for their public accommodations

Source that providing lyrics to songs is a requirement?

null ,
@null@slrpnk.net avatar

So no, just talking out of your ass then.

You can Google the lyrics to songs on any device you can view them on Spotify.

null ,
@null@slrpnk.net avatar

I never said it was. I said that the requirement is the same whether it's a free account or a paid one.

Which is completely irrelevant if its not actually a requirement. So I'm asking you to prove that it is.

null ,
@null@slrpnk.net avatar

What's relevant is that the commenter I replied to suggested that it's Spotify's "prerogative" whether to comply with the law or not. It isn't.

No they did not. You brought up the law.

Not always, only if they're synced.

@null@slrpnk.net avatar

Spotify you can't just play whatever and also you can skip like 5 songs per hour or whatever the fuck.

Okay? That has literally nothing to do with getting lyrics for free...

Charging for lyrics is fucking ridiculous and you saying just google it isn't any better.

The people are entitled to their free music and free lyrics right in the same spot. Having to do a single Google search to get those lyrics is inconceivable!

Help me do what, exactly?

Got a source please?

Of course they don't.

But they're going to pretend that its on you to disprove the claim.

Edit: Oh look, they did exactly what I said they would.

@null@slrpnk.net avatar

They can get Spotify but can't Google lyrics?

null ,
@null@slrpnk.net avatar

If I want to get free lyrics for free Spotify, I would have to do the same labor...

Also I downvoted you, so go ahead and plug your ears and block me, like a child.

No, so what? Neither are all Spotify lyrics. They don't even have lyrics for some songs.

Nah, way better to just spout off misinformation about things you won't even take 20 mins to educate yourself about.

You didn't "make a mistake", you admitted you have no idea what it meant, chose not to take a mere 20 minutes to understand it, but chose to spout off about it anyways.

This isn't a quiz, you aren't required to post about things you are ignorant of.

iOS keyboards that don't censor "bad words"

Does anyone have any recommendations for alternate keyboard apps on iOS that don’t censor my less-than-polite speech? Having to type certain words out letter by letter is annoying enough since swipe texting won’t spell them out. And lately it seems like even after I type that stuff out, autocorrect will still go back and...

You can add swear words to the dictionary on iOS, you don't have to add them as contacts.

Yup, same experience. I started out hosting everything on a single box, but have slowly moved things like HA and Pi-hole to their own machines, so they don't all go down when that one box goes down.

"Real" in that they are just a social construct, like race.

null ,
@null@slrpnk.net avatar

All of which is entirely arbitrary. Why didn't you include hair color, or eye color, or height?

null ,
@null@slrpnk.net avatar

Mmm nope. It's a fundamental force.

null ,
@null@slrpnk.net avatar

I simply just didn't think of it

Nobody would consider hair color, eye color, or height among people with the same skin color as part of their "race" -- that's the point I was making.

null ,
@null@slrpnk.net avatar

If my brother has red hair and is 6 feet, and I have brown hair, and am 5 feet, we would still be the same race, so no, there's no correlation to race there, nor is it important to note. Because race is a social construct.

null ,
@null@slrpnk.net avatar

Neat, but none of that makes gravity a social construct. Race and gender are.

@null@slrpnk.net avatar

@null@slrpnk.net avatar

Regardless of what we call them, or how we understand them, the laws of physics nevertheless apply -- as you eluded to in your example of animals being subject to gravity, despite their understanding of it.

This is not true of race or gender. They exist exclusively as categorizations and narratives within our collective set of definitions and understandings. They do not exist outside of human culture.

So at best what you're saying is that our understanding of gravity is the result of a social construct. Which is just needlessly pedantic.

But since that's apparently what we're doing then your statement is still incorrect. It should be:

"Gravity" is a social construct.

There's also plenty of people that do use adblock today, and would just put up with ads if it stopped working.

So the actual number of people that would simply stop using YouTube altogether is lower than the number of people that use adblock today.

And from YouTube's perspective, those people aren't contributing revenue anyways, and all they get is a little bit of usage data. Easy trade.

After Windows Recall was announced, I've seen more people talking about switching to Linux than ever before.

I've been the Linux zealot in my friend group for years, and none of them have switched (they've dabbled on old laptops but never daily drove).

With Recall, a coworker I never would have expected reached out to me because he knows I'm a "Linux guy" and he was switching to Linux over it.

He's still daily driving pop_OS a month later.

Sync Bug? Most posts are not marking as read

Recently I started noticing that a lot of posts will mark as read for a second then go back to unread when viewing just the image or article. It's not all posts though and I haven't determined a pattern yet, but opening the comments seems to mark as read on refresh even though the post looks unread before refreshing....

Yup -- and the developer is known for going silent for weeks/months at a time.

Anyone who spent money on this app is a sucker.

Edit: lol downvoted but at the moment he was last active a month ago. This is not the first time basic functionality has broken and he's ghosted the app.

He's charging over $100 for premium, and won't even stay on top of changes that break basic functionality.

Tons of great advice I here.

I want to add that in addition to processing your feelings around that guilt in healthy ways, it is also a good idea to check in and see if you're doing the things that will help make managing your ADHD easier.

Things like:

  • Getting enough sleep
  • Eating healthy meals
  • Getting exercise

Those take work, especially when the ADHD fights back against forming habits, but they can help create a positive feedback loop.

I also recommend taking 10 minutes a day to just sit, close your eyes, and focus on your breathing. If you notice your mind wandering, congratulate yourself for noticing, let the thought be, and return to your breathing.

Every time you "notice and return", that's one pushup towards building the muscle that recognizes when (especially unhealthy) patterns of though start to form. That will help you make good choices about when and how to engage with those thought patterns before they sneak up on you and start driving the bus.

You get tracked based on how you interact. This obfuscates that beyond just "I block all of them".

Nope. The amount of data required for constant recording and streaming of audio would be ridiculous and would show up in analysis.

The simpler answer is that the algorithms are getting scary good.
