You actually give your hard earned money to a millionaire? I'd rather burn it.

No, we're not. It's not a coincidence that soon after occupy wallstreet the culture war was cranked up to 11. Gotta give the wealthy and the media credit. They have successfully, and quite easily turned the plebs against each other.

Yes! Trillian was awesome! I used it fairly religiously from the early to mid 00s. Combined my ICQ, Yahoo messenger, MSN messenger, and AIM. I miss that beautiful, convenient piece of software.

Twitter has a pretty solid metal (music) community that I've come to know and appreciate over time. We share new bands, our opinions on albums, all that good stuff.

Given this choice, I'm confident Lemmy will double down, every time.

I purchase the family plan of YouTube Music. In addition to the music, it comes with ad free YouTube videos. I watch a lot of yt so it's a no brainer for me. Never used any other streaming service so I can't compare.

Consume. Then, consume more.

They charged outrageous prices for their last tour. I never cared for them, so it didn't impact me.
