  • These corporations would never let that be the norm. They are presently moderate about it because we are an extreme minority, but if this population starts growing at rapid rates, these leeches will go crazy. Just like how Google behaved a few months ago to prevent ad-block usage on YouTube. The unfortunate news is that we can’t even do much about it; they already have a scary market share and the money to do whatever they want. Worse thing is that these corporations will unite together in such scenario.


  • Yesterday, I made a choice that was very tough for me to make. So three years ago, I had a best friend, and we both liked each other. Things got hard because my feelings went too far, I became emotionally unstable and turned into an attention seeker. So because of that, I then ended the friendship.

    Recently, she added me back. I thought we could be friends again because I felt like I improved my mental state in the last two years and won’t turn into an attention seeker again. Well, a week later, I was the same as I was three years ago.

    It was ruining my mental health severely. I couldn’t focus on anything. But I still wasn’t ready to give up on the friendship because she was a very nice friend, and I still liked her for some reason. So I refused to give up. But things got worse real quick, and then I decided to write a long message to her explaining why I can’t continue this friendship and then I blocked her everywhere.

    At the cost of ending all probabilities of a future with her, I feel much better now.

    Gotta do something about this attention-seeking thing, though.










  • I agree fully. I basically never download music anymore, because I can get all the music I can think of on Spotify for a few bucks a month.

    I recently started music pirating because I listen to a lot of genres and I want to shuffle them. If I use Spotify, I am limited to their shitty shuffler, but if I download my music offline, I can shuffle however I want. My favorite algorithm to shuffle my huge bunch of music is to shuffle them by genre. Now I get to listen to interesting music with full control over the algorithm used.

    Also, there are frequent power cuts in my area, so an offline library always proves useful. I also visit places where internet connections are not available.










  • It was a decent experience, but it had too many features to meet my taste. I like basic things. Their automatic timer detection supports a lot of formats, but it doesn’t support something like “in 5 minutes,” but it does support “in 5 hours/months/weeks.”. Too bad, I frequently forget to do things throughout the day, so I have trained myself to set up quick-to-do tasks to remind myself a few minutes later. But doing it an hour later is asking for too much.
