    For folk like us who perceive very little opposition to black folk in our locale, or value peace etc., All Lives Matter sounds far more logical than just Black Lives Matter, as the phrase ALM encompasses all life, as is our belief. To us BLM sounds like discrimination, black supremacy. In reality, the people that coined the phrase and stand by it intended to send a different message that the phrase doesn’t fully convey: Black Lives Matter As Well. Because where they are situated there is a strong pressure of authority and societal racism treating people whose melanin levels are higher as less important or less human. Said cruel society started using ALM as a counter, to once again belittle their black society.

    It’s not the first time a nasty group of people appropriated good, well-meaning phrases and symbols for their own ends and it won’t be the last. The rest of us have to adapt and avoid association with them by not using the appropriated language.

    Finally, those who comment that anyone who doesn’t think like they do are “stupid” are themselves egocentric, ignorant of other communities outside their own that do not share their struggles and either have never heard of, or do not have need of the BLM movement.

    bro. Fucking – Think about it. Klarna pay in 3 installments divide the cost by 3 and take payments monthly. Month A, you pay one third. Month B you pay one third of months A and B. By month C onwards you’re consistently paying three thirds or 100% of the rent. You’d only defer yourself the value of one month’s rent over the span of two months. Pointless.






  • In the UK the term is defined by the government as anyone who is deemed by the government a threat to the government or the people or someone’s property or the predominant local religion. But recently it’s been exclusively used for the first one. In this country state law is valued higher than corporate, moral, ethical and religious laws, so YMMV

  • I highly recommend a Navidrome/Slskd/beets[lyrics]/Symfonium setup!

    I have a Proxmox container running: Navidrome, that serves music in a Library Folder (B); Slskd, that serves a SoulseekQT web UI and downloads to a Download Folder (A); and beetbox beets program with the lyrics plugin installed via pipx that has config parameters set so that I can manually run it, it’ll detect and allow me to identify songs downloaded to Folder A, inject synced lyrics, and move them to an organised folder structure in Folder B.

    • Navidrome doesn’t need organisation, I just do it to be neat.
    • beets uses MusicBrainz and another I believe for song/album ID, and lrclib for synced lyrics
    • I also have Lidarr set up to download from Soulseek with the Tubifarry plugin, get lyrics via lrclib and move to Folder B with the same structure as beets, but its metadata is heavily lacking and many images and artist song data is just nonexistent after about two months of “populating” (see below), so I recommend keeping the manual Soulseek/beets approach
    • Again I recommend ignoring Lidarr or maybe using it for a visual library without downloading, but there is a pro, now I’ve configured it - Lidarr doesn’t often automatically request and then organise music, but when it does, the music is exactly the quality I requested. So at least Tubifarry is solid.
    • You can use any Subsonic client but I find Symfonium to be incredible. Paying these devs is worth it!
    • slskd can be configured to run beets after download I believe, but I haven’t figured that out and don’t plan to, for want of less complexity.

    What’s stopping me is it still feels like a generic resale or untrustworthy website… I see that it isn’t, though… And it’ll take a lot of money to buy DRM free copies of 600 games. My plan is to move the Steam game files and uninstall Steam, to test if Heroic can launch them. Whatever fails can be rebought, or counted as an acceptable loss
