What's your favorite artist's worst song? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I don't know that my absolute favorite artist has a bad song. But here are a few songs I hate by artists that I love:

Bloc Party (original lineup/first 4 albums): 3 x 3. Not sure why, just feels anxious in a bad way? Always a skip for me.

Keane: Ishin Denshin (You've Got To Help Yourself). This is a cover from an EP so maybe too deep of a cut, but man do I hate this track. Just feels cloying and awkward. Like they were trying to recreate the original but were too in awe of it.

Peter Bjorn and John: The Feeling. The first track from their true followup to Writer's Block. Just feels like it's a song that's weird for the sake of being weird.

What's an activity that you could foresee yourself doing every weekend for the rest of your life? in c/[email protected]

I know there is a wide variety of times but I feel like 2/3rds of the farmer's markets near me are at inconvenient times for me. "3-7PM on a weekday" nope, "8AM-12PM on sunday" MAYBE if I wake up early and am feeling adventurous.

I've done it once or twice in the early days to see what was up, never since then.

I love the idea! If there was good support from something like GrapheneOS or /e/OS I would be looking at one of these.

Downloading Youtube videos with DRM (lemmy.world)
 

Doing some research on things that I will absolutely never do. Let's say a nefarious party wanted to download a video from Youtube, say, an episode of the TV show Community. The downloaders I have researched for Linux (Youtube Downloader Plus + Parabolic) will not let me download any episodes that have DRM. Are there any that DO let you do so, preferably while removing the DRM so it could be used on Jellyfish or Plex?

Sadly, there's not a singular ethical Amazon replacement out there. You've got alternatives like Walmart and Target but I don't think they rate much higher than Amazon, honestly. I'll throw out Grove Collaborative for cleaning supplies/home things/toiletries, Thrive Market for foods (though they have a membership fee), Kindhumans and Uncommon Goods for a wide variety of things. Here's a list of some more places that might be useful - bearing in mind there is no one panacea.

Very fair! You've definitely got a wider perspective than I do, I appreciate it.
