It’s got electrolytes!

What’s the difference these days?

Piracy isn’t theft if buying isn’t owning.

I don’t know if they have a free tier but I see Deezer mentioned a lot in this post as a good alternative.

I have seen Qobuz and Deezer mentioned a lot as a good alternative in this post.

They joined ICE because their business went under due to tariffs? So, Trump imposes tariffs that destroyed their business and they still decided to join Trump’s personal army? Makes perfect sense.

I hope your “people acquaintances” eventally face legal reprucussions for their crimes.

also have used cracked apps for ages and don’t get ads if I can help it.

doesn’t this count as voting with my wallet enough?

I don’t know why you’re so hung up on ads. The issue at hand is that Spotify assisted ICE for a year.

Or not, if ICE murdering citizens in the street doesn’t bother you that much.

So you hate waffles?

Do you have a source for Deezer running ICE ads? I couldn’t find anything with a quick search.

Well then, let’s not let them get away with it. Vote with your wallet. Or not, if ICE murdering citizens in the street doesn’t bother you that much.

And Apple famously did never kiss trumps ass

Tim Apple famously kissing Trumps ass:

• Tim Cook Gave Trump a 24K Gold Gift, but Apple Got the Bigger Win

During a carefully choreographed White House visit this week, Apple CEO Tim Cook gave Donald Trump a bespoke plaque made of Gorilla Glass and mounted on a 24-karat gold base, but the real value may have been what Apple took home.

The gift, custom-designed by a former U.S. Marine turned Apple employee, featured a large circular slab of Corning-made Gorilla Glass with a hollowed Apple logo at its center. Trump’s name was etched near the top, while “Made in USA – 2025” was engraved at the base alongside Cook’s signature. The disc sat atop a solid gold base sourced from Utah, and even the packaging was produced domestically.

I really don’t know. It was just something I found with a quick search. Sorry.

Even though you’re not American you must have heard about ICE’s crimes. You really want your money going to a company that ran ads for them?

I rarely visit Youtube, but when I do I browse via Firefox with the uBlock Origin extension and I never see ads. You could try that for him.

Hence the “ran” in the title. Ran is past tense. I didn’t say they were running ads now.

I used Sunnify for Linux to convert my downloaded Spotify songs to mp3. Now I have all of my songs locally. Then I deleted my account.

Good point. I never thought about that.

Oh, I didn’t know that. Thanks for the info.

What was Google’s reason for removing reviews of schools?

Good point. I didn’t think to look into the alternatives I just found a site and listed them to help. I’ll cross off those three. Thanks!
