Maybe the outrage from the story will help bring some attention to the issue, even

I wish more people would. I think it’s ridiculous that we’ve put up with buying all these tools and appliances that come with ads like pimples all over. Pisses me right off.

Welcome, sibling

Just put a lil bit o’ tape over it. I’m actually insane and put tape over most of the logos around my house hahahah

Thank you jerk face!!

Thanks for sharing, this is a better write-up than I would’ve done.

But yeah it really sucks because from the outside Bandcamp looks like a great “light touch” platform, but the truth is sadly much more cynical and anti-democratic.

I buy on Bandcamp Fridays, but am suspicious of that platform since they changed owners so often without any input from the community or musicians.

I’m keeping my eye on https://subvert.fm/ as a hopefully more democratic option.

Rofl what a piece of piss website

Wilfully running a windows server is a moral problem

I feel like it would be easier to learn Linux, even if you still used windows for desktop

Funny you mention that…

What happens when you dehumanize people. If you fail to recognize the dignity inherent in all people you can excuse grievous shit like this.

It’s the difference between spending money to have your will enacted, and having your money taken by the people, for use of the commons.

The latter is a very dangerous precedent to set. You don’t want the people feeling like they can have their will enacted.

I love it

Death rattle

I mean I’ve left the house without my glasses and I’m legally blind without them, so I can understand just how absentminded a human can get.

The programming socks will be the first sign.

I like to read until I hit a noun, then look to see what community this it was posted to, then kinda riff it from there.

It’s also always been the way that the people who actually clicked the link get to come into the comments and be frustrated at us for being legitimately wrong.

We are same. I sometimes use comments as kind of tags, like

xinput --disable $(xinput --list | grep -i touchpad | grep 'id=[0-9]\+' -o | cut -d= -f2)  # Disable synaptic touchpad trackpad pointer

or

python3 -c 'from ctypes import *; X11 = cdll.LoadLibrary("libX11.so.6"); X11.XOpenDisplay.restype = POINTER(c_ubyte); display = X11.XOpenDisplay(None); X11.XkbLockModifiers(display, c_uint(0x0100), c_uint(2), c_uint(0)); X11.XCloseDisplay(display)' # swap caps CAPS CAPSLOCK

or sometimes I’ll add # works at the end of a long string of attempts (usually involving dialing into a regexp), like
