It’s not as hard as you’re making it out to be, but then again, the assumption that the barrier to entry is high is what keeps piracy niche, and as long as it’s niche copyright enforcement doesn’t notice as much… so I guess it all works out.

But there are sites that you can visit that use rotating family accounts to download music straight from qobuz and the like. Theres nothing sketchy there, it just violates the ToS to use accounts like that.

Most of those CLI instances I had to do on week one.

Since then… Hardly ever. (On Pop_OS!)

brb, pirating ducks.

Are you able to download your purchases? I feel like the answer is “no,” but if they were serious about your library being “yours” downloading your purchases would have been part of their service plan from the start.

Hey everyone! Here’s a list of phone numbers! Real, legitimate phone numbers! Anyone can view this list of phone numbers, for free!

But whatever you do, DON’T call anyone on this list, OK??

Thank you for the recommendations

Found glider in fdroid, I’m digging it. Thank you.

It’s there a frontend or app or something for that site? The web interface is so dated.

I still use reddit when I need to ask some obscure question about some topic that isn’t well represented on Lemmy yet. I don’t browse or lurk anymore though. (Kind of like how some people just use Facebook for communication and not for the newsfeed.)

Check out beehaw if you’re worried about missing news. That lemmy instance has way less shitposting and seems to have healthy discussion.

Between the mixed feeds on Lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, and beehaw I haven’t missed any big things that I’m aware of. I have other friends on discord and irl and if they talk about a big news story it’s never something I missed.

Because that actually sells.
