Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Yeah! Just because a racist, fascist douchebag does a seig heil doesn't mean you should tell obvious big mean old lies about him being a Nazi!

You tell those woke mind virus victims, Joe!

if you still have spotify, please cancel it.

Yes, I guess at this point Spotify is a pro-Nazi business.

What large corporation isn’t at this point?

Which music streaming service do you recommend? (honest question)

[–] resin85@lemmy.ca 12 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

I've tried a few of them, all with family plans:

  • Amazon Music: good track selection, awful apps. Horrid integration with Sonos.

  • YouTube Music: I was using this for quite a while, my kids hated it because of the way the miniplayer worked. I found it frustrating because it would often play a YouTube rip of a song instead of the album track.

  • Tidal: great choice, but I couldn't get it to use gapless playback when casting to my receiver.

  • Apple Music: we're currently all using this one. Everyone is happy (Android, Chromecast, Sonos, iPhones, iPads, Car Play, and Android Auto). Finally.

Have you tried Napster? That's not a joke in case you thought it might be

[–] PlasticExistence@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

I’m quite happy with Tidal. Been using it for 6-7 months now.

[–] TipRing@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

I use Tidal but their servers kind of suck sometimes.

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I know it’s fashionable to hate on Apple (justified or not), but Apple Music is very good. As a bonus, you can bundle it with Apple TV+, which have so many extremely good shows and movies.

YouTube premium has YouTube music, and it works well enough for me and my extended family

Yes cause google is SO much better

[–] the_wise_wolf@feddit.org 1 points 2 days ago

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll have a look at them. Unfortunately none of them seem all that good. Spotify ist the only one that has a Linux app. Tide has a third party app, which is just the website inside electron. Even the Spotify app is just electron. I find it extremely shitty that these companies don't even bother publishing electron apps. The ratings on the play store are also mostly bad. But I have to investigate that.

No, but they're donating money to the inauguration and hosting Rogan, Shapiro, and others podcasters to, by Spotify's own word, "tout the power of podcasts in the election". It seems awfully cozy behavior.

Oh shit, thanks for the jnfo!
