  • I live in Europe. Had Spotify for about 5 years, stopped paying and using 6 months ago. I usually buy from Bandcamp, mostly non mainstream music, and download in FLAC and store it on my server. I can stream through the app on my phone when I’m out.
    For the ones I can’t find on Bandcamp, or albums from major labels, I tend to find it on Qobuz in MP3. Pricing trends to be similar everywhere.
    My pirating nowadays is mainly for old music or establish artists.

  • My partner is a long time gamer on Windows. Her Win11 laptop doesn’t have the same performance as mine so I setup a gaming account for both. I barely told her anything on how to “operate” it and after a couple of times she has no problem on her own.
    Just now, I came back to the pc and see kwrite open with a message from her. Never told her how to do that. She just searched for “notepad” on the menu like she would on Windows.

    Been using a PC since Win 3.1 and it’s by far the most stable system I’ve ever had
