    Don’t threaten, just do it!

    I don’t get why people are so stubborn to move away from corporate products.

      Personally, the open source community’s aversion to algorithms is what’s holding me back. Say what you will about them, but I’ve found many great songs thanks to Spotify’s algo.

        Soulseeks recommendation algorithm is top notch, almost organic. You click the ‘browse users files’ button.

        Well… with streaming services people don’t actually have anything, because nothing in there is theirs to own ;)

      I don’t use any proprietary apps. Only FOSS apps installed on my phone.

          Sometimes I feel like it’s just too simple. Then I see articles like this and I’m like nope. Staying away from that bullshit.
