Have there ever been any consequences for false takedown requests you could point me at?

Who uh … who do you think wrote the DMCA? That is definitely one of the shitty systems I am referrimg to above.

One bullshit system affecting another.

Real cool.

It doesn’t have to be like this. We could use government to actually break up and regulate these gigantic companies.

I, too, am curious. So we should investigate, right?

Because we have let the clowns be in charge and the stock market is full of monopolistic shitshows instead of actual competition.

seconding Tidal.

but also feeling like buying more physical media going forward.

The Whitehouse is openly lying on social media, why are we expected to believe anything the federal government says at this point?

We should change that.

They don’t need to protect or serve us but we have to follow every command, conflicting or otherwise or we get shot?

We need to have better laws.

It works but there can be graphical issues that will force you to restart.

Ableton kinda runs under Bottles. 🤷‍♂️

Please, consider trying out linux if you haven’t: you can usually make a “live usb” and take it for a test drive without having to actually reinstall (if you don’t like it, just take the usb stick out and reboot back to windows).

I would dearly love to never again have to hear about the latest bullshit Microsoft is foisting on people.

Do your part! Switch. Everything just works better over here.

I think someone definitely needs to touch grass.

Why do they need this person? Can’t their AI do this job?

The swamp.

Based on how many corps bought out by private equity get stripped for parts and destroyed, I’d say the outcome is relatively similar.

I would prefer the deaths didn’t enrich the oligarchs more, but I am actively trying to pull back my spend on all corporate stuff because of this exact horseshit. Lots of others are, too. Maybe others think I am just pissing in the wind, but at this point I give zero fucks what others think and vote with my wallet until I can vote for people who will regulate this shit like a functioning government is supposed to instead of this reality tv garbage.

Oh well.

I’m a Toys-R-Us kid and I think maybe we didn’t need all that fucking plastic.

We will survive without Grand Slams.

It’s time to put the corporations back on the back burner of Americana.

This reality tv governance makes us and everyone else less safe.

Am I supposed to feel sorry for a bootlicker who stayed behind to screw their colleagues?

Who is this lament for?

I understand, and don’t have any of those tools to hand.

It sounds like this is not a watch for you.

Doesn’t a little solvent and some gentle brushing usually clear this issue up?

The benefits for simple access through simple mechanisms, for me, is worth this bit of work.

But everyone clearly has different requirements. 🤷‍♂️
