@chris it looks great, and so far I'm quite happy about it.

Apparently, a single song from my album "After 1989" racked up 1,568,434 streams on YouTube.PRS UK paid me today for that, so it's new car, caviar. Or maybe I'll buy me a football team.https://minutestomidnight.co.uk/blog/more-than-1-5-million-stream-brought-me-royalties/#streaming #YouTube #music #indie #IndependentArtist

I've developed a new pet peeve. Musicians on Mastodon who publicise their Bandcamp address in their bios, but then DON'T have their Mastodon profile on Bandcamp.I lost count of how many artists I liked and/or followed on Bandcamp from Mastodon, but then lost on the fediverse because too many tabs, and asynchronous navigation.Please add your Mastodon URL on Bandcamp, it's also the simplest way to authenticate that profile in your bio here.#bandcamp #fediverse

🔖 Third post in my degrowth series.This time: how I interact online, especially on social media, while keeping its noise low. It involves focusing on fewer asynchronous authentic interactions, and removing the obsessive checking, uploading, replying that’s been the norm since the early 2000s.https://minutestomidnight.co.uk/blog/how-i-use-social-media/#degrowth #internet #sustainability #SocialMedia #Mastodon

🔖 4th post in my degrowth series (three more to go).It's about the cloud. Why I don't use it anymore, even though I was an eager early adopter. Main 5 reasons:1) don't trust the suppliers (security, surveillance, dependency on a corporation for accessing my own files).2) bad experience (data loss).3) hate the amount of data transfer (waste of electricity).4) I can't be always connected.5) ultimately, I don't need it.https://minutestomidnight.co.uk/blog/i-guess-i-dont-trust-the-cloud/#degrowth #internet #sustainability #cloud

Finally, I put in (short) writing a personal pet peeve of mine: a #blogroll that has zero context.https://minutestomidnight.co.uk/blog/giving-context-to-a-blogroll/

I'll never tire of saying this: growth at all costs is a metastatic disease.What's wrong with being content with what you have? Plateau isn't a bad thing, it's wonderful, it's sustainable, it's sane, it's healthy.Stop fuelling companies or individuals who are involved with metastatic products.#degrowth

Plan for the next few years. - Move away from Ruby and avoid anything built on a fragile mental stake of dependencies. - Move to Linux, use Hackintosh to keep tabs on Apple related music software. - Move to Fairphone. - Delete YouTube and move to PeerTube. - Delete Google account. - Check if I have a Microsoft account. If yes, delete it. - Move to Framework if I want to keep a laptop around. - Start self-hosting a few services. - Avoid the news.- Radicalise.

@chris @jp I stopped using it long ago. First by switching to Alfred, now to Raycast. Both are working on Spotlight indexes and both are massively superior. I keep thinking about when Spotlight got a massive update with Tiger (or was it Leopard?). In a fraction of a second it would find precisely what document or email or image I was looking for.

@heymarkreeves @chris @jp I will probably go back to Alfred in the future, as Raycast smells of something that will be sold to yet another shit company.

With /e/OS I have a system-wide tracker blocker, which also includes an IP and geolocation spoofer. Is there anything similar in LineageOS?#android #degoogle

Activists from the UK and Italy placed a 20 square meters banner in Piazza San Marco (Venice, Italy) to say something that should be a given, but it's not.I don't think I've ever hated anyone like I hate billionaires.More info:https://media.greenpeace.org/collection/27MZIFJRB6H5K

@GustavinoBevilacqua @kappazeta avete esempi? Io ho notato da tempo un abbandono pressoché totale del congiuntivo e un aumento esponenziale di diminutivi e vezzeggiativi. Una combinazione intollerabile.

Steve Wozniak interviewed for CBS:"I gave all my Apple wealth away because wealth and power are not what I live for. I have a lot of fun and happiness. I funded a lot of important museums and arts groups [...] I never look for any type of tax dodge. I earn money from my labor and pay something like 55% combined tax on it. Life to me was never about accomplishment, but about Happiness. I developed these philosophies when I was 18-20 years old and I never sold out."He turned 75 4 days ago.

When I keep saying that being on #streaming platforms is a pointless exercise, I get sometimes asked for numbers, or proofs.Here you go. A single song of mine was played a MILLION times in 3 months, in 2022 (and, in later months, another 750k times), with a net gain of £33. A million plays on streaming pays for a pizza night out for me and @silviamaggi Took me FOUR sales on Bandcamp to reach the same amount.So, ask me again, why quit giving out music to the techbros?#IndependentMusic
