    How to quit Spotify: a guide from Brian Merchant.

    He's gone with Qobuz, a platform that I'm also running with. I'd love to try Coda, as they claim to give artists the most money; I've listed my favourite music-streaming platforms on a page: garden.pivic.com/music/music-s - please let me know if I've missed a good platform that treats musicians like human beings.

    While places like Spotify and Tidal are overrun by AI slop, Qobuz feels *clean*.

  13. Sobre la propuesta de cerrar la USAID por parte de Trump/Musk

    «»Además, el primer contrato empresarial de OpenAI con el gobierno federal fue con… USAID. Dado que Musk y sus lacayos están destrozando el cableado de cobre de la agencia en este momento, y la naturaleza de la disputa de Musk con Altman [CEO de OpenAI], parece poco probable que el contrato permanezca intacto por mucho tiempo, si no ha sido cancelado ya. También plantea la pregunta de si las aventuras de Musk en la agencia de ayuda exterior comenzaron en serio en primer lugar en parte porque OpenAI, a la que Musk desprecia, estaba haciendo negocios con el departamento. ¡Estas son las cosas que ahora tenemos que considerar! Dada la escala y la naturaleza del poder de Musk sobre el gobierno, su temperamento volátil y sus conocidas tendencias vengativas, etc.»»

  18. »Blood in the Machine« von #BrianMerchant verstärkt ein Grauen, das mich schon länger plagt: wie einfach es in den autoritären, nicht-demokratischen Regimen des frühen 19. Jhds für Unternehmer war, mit den Staatsgewalten zu kooperieren:
    —Hey, schickt mir doch mal ein paar Dutzend Waisenkinder, Schuldner, Vagabunden, was ihr halt habt in die Pampas für meine Fabrik.

    Umgekehrt, wenn z.B. Heimtextil-Massen sich an die Staatsmacht wandten, unterm Strich: nüscht.
    Die Struktur spürt ma heut noch.

    I just read about Brian Merchant in The New Yorker’s “Talk of the Town” section, and I guess I’m a #luddite too, since I would also buy my axe at the local hardware store if I wanted to smash a printer that will only allow its own overpriced ink.
