To anyone who supports capitalism or otherwise opposes socialism:

Do you support the idea that one man can accumulate enough wealth to own all land of this Earth, making everyone born in his empire under his rule as long as he can kill to defend it? What prevents capitalism from accomplishing this in law? What law exists that limits the borders of nations?

Why, then, must we endure a system where a single man owning the Earth and enslave it is a feature, not a bug?

I just wanna know what people think. Why must this be maintained? Why is any opposition to capping wealth just the end of the world when it probably would save it, just logically thinking it through?

Image description: A surreal sculptural arrangement where bright blue flowers with yellow centers emerge from a dripping column of molten golden liquid that extends vertically through the frame, pooling at the base while droplets and streams cascading downward throughout the composition. Behind this central floral-liquid sculpture, a detailed moon fills the upper portion of the frame against a curved portion of starry night sky filled with white stars and blue nebula-like formations in the upper right corner. The background transitions from the dark star-filled space on the right to a clean light gray space on the left side of the image.

Image description: A young woman with green eyes and dark circles underneath them, has messy, and black hair, with her mouth closed around a potato chip sitting on a couch with one knees pulled up to her chest. She is wearing a black t-shirt and light blue athletic shorts with white trim, while an open bag of snacks rests on the couch beside her. In the background, a large window reveals a dark sky, and a lit table lamp with a white shade is positioned to the left.

Should I be using a VPN for slsk?

There are some albums that I genuinely can't find anywhere else, they barely seem to exist. Is there a good way to turn a full album on youtube to a bunch of seperate files for each song, a shortcut to getting the metadata right for each song, etc? Or is downloading the whole thing and manually chopping it up the only way?

for some reason the devs of stremio seem adamant about not adding a bind feature so im hoping theres an alternative of some kind that does have this feature or if theres an application that i can use to force it to not send any data if my vpn is not on.

I dont want to use a vpn with a killswitch because that impacts other applications

ideally a cross platform desktop application

EU officials are considering using revenues from a new carbon tax on homes and petrol for the EU budget — a move that one EU official warned would be “completely toxic”.

Well it seems that my account from google has been banned from playing music on any app or website all because I wanted do download everything on my liked list.

Everything I try now says content unavailable. Ugh 3 years of curating content just gone. Getting the account information only helps subscriptions, not the liked songs.

The main reason I liked YouTube's music is the supermix feature. I'm hardly ever in the mood for one genre of music, which Spotify only seems to randomize for you.

I know Spotube is available but that's essentially Spotify's front end using YouTube for the actual media.

I can't go back to anything that bombards me with ads or annoying DJs.

Image description: A woman with yellow eyes, purple hair styled with large curls framing her face a wide smile, winking her left eye and pointing her right index finger at the viewer. She is wearing a large, black, pointed witch's hat whose point comes to a spiral, a cropped black jacket with a fur collar, and a black bikini-style top and matching hot pants. The setting is a cobblestone street at night, surrounded by numerous carved and illuminated jack-o'-lanterns, stylized buildings with glowing windows under a dark blue night sky with a crescent moon.

The Nectar project offers 'advanced data analysis' using a wide range of sensitive personal information

A controversial US spy tech firm has landed a contract with UK police to develop a surveillance network that will incorporate data about citizens’ political opinions, philosophical beliefs, health records and other sensitive personal information.

Documents obtained by i and Liberty Investigates show Palantir Technologies has partnered with police forces in the East of England to establish a “real-time data-sharing network” that includes the personal details of vulnerable victims, children and witnesses alongside suspects.

Trade union membership, sexual orientation and race are among the other types of personal information being processed.

The project has sparked alarm from campaigners who fear it will trample over Britons’ human rights and “facilitate dystopian predictive policing” and indiscriminate mass surveillance.

Numerous police forces have previously refused to confirm or deny their links with Palantir, citing risks to law enforcement and national security. However, forces in Bedfordshire and Leicestershire have recently confirmed working with the firm.

Liberty Investigates and i have learned that those projects involve processing data from more than a dozen UK police forces and will serve as a pilot for a potential national rollout of the tech giant’s data mining technology — which has reportedly been used by police forces in the US to predict future crimes.
