Interesting. I've seen Bandcamp, I think, having days where artists get all the money from sales.

I'd considered Qobuz before, having heard of its better artist payment. It's unfortunately not available on Linux, which is a shame :(. I do have Android, though, which they probably support. Also difficult doing the switch when you're in a family plan, cause either it ends up costing you separately, or the whole family must move. Not sure I can get everyone on board, unless they see a benefit themselves

I'm curious. Why a strawberry? Any particular reason or just a random choice? For a name, that is. I know the "logo" matches the name

Also, tell your partner they did a great job!

Eh, I don't own any Apple devices. Do you own a CD player, though? Or is it just to support the artist through purchase? I wonder how much money makes it to the artist on physical sales, and which way is best for the artist (e.g. an artist's online store vs. physical store nearby). I do have vinyl. Issue is mainly the cost. Damn thing be 30+ monies for each (I think). Also, convenience. Hitting play on anything I want online vs. picking from a limited selection, having to clean it, hold it carefully, store it in the right position afterwards. I considered buying some earlier this year, when I saw some at the store. Ended up not buying. Wasn't fully convinced, as I'm not as familiar with those albums. There is also the factor of being able to acquire the stuff I listen to. Big, popular albums? Avalaibalabable. Some of my random, less popular stuff? Who knows…

Self-hosting is work, though. I cannot guarantee quality service, I don't think. I mean, I do have an old laptop acting as a server, of sorts. Pi-hole and all. But I don't use it for much else cause I don't trust meself. Only a matter of time until I lose all files on server or something. Or suddenly unable to hear music on the go or whatever. I'd be more likely to have the files on my phone than to self-host

I've heard of Qobuz, and have been very intrigued. Downside is I've seen no Linux option :(. They do allow for buying music as well, innit? I reckon that'd pay the artist better?

I've heard of Bandcamp, I think, doing a day where all money goes to artists. Seems neat. Not sure I can be trusted with handling my own stuff, though. I mean, I lost music I bought for 0 monies off Play Store / Music back when it was a thing. I like to think they got rid of it, but maybe I deleted it after download. I eventually lost the files (many a system issues that lead to some reinstallations, and crappy last minute backup onto my phone).

Qobuz sounds nice, though. I do have some vinyls, but I've been lead to believe they require cleaning often, which is work. Just the other day, wanted to hear an album (haven't used vinyl in ages). Can't find cleaning kit, but vinyl seems clean. Nope, skip every other beat.

Cute logo in the corner!

Coming this summer, to a movie theater near you: "Tim and Eric: The Presidency"

You fart hella dignint

Does he get crap fornhis writing style in general? I thought it was jut Family Guy, with stories that keep getting interrupted by cutaway gags all the time

What's up with 5 and 23? Why not the integral of the limit of the square root of arctan of x as x tends to 0?

Nothing that I know of. Any ither use of 33 is unrelated. Could've been orange, or bench. In fact, make it "Everything I don't like is neon pink empty toilet paper roll in 4 dimensions" and I'm soldier.

Replace woke with 33 and I'm sold
