I say the day Mozilla bends the knee to advertisers and do what Chrome did by phasing out ad-blockers with Firefox. That’ll be the day when I look around my apartment and realize “man, I need to start getting into some hobbies now.”

    The Internet is too useful. Email, online banking, and the ability to find reasearch materials are essential to me.

    However, i have abandoned all social media except the fediverse. I only use youtube for specific instructional videos - not for entertainment. If i am looking for fun, i look somewhere else. One exception: Qobuz for music (they are a French streaming platform).

        Better compensation for artists than spotify or deezer I think. Ethical consumer rates them higher than others of a similar library size.

        Qobuz has a big library and I can almost always find what I am looking for. I also tend to listen to whole albums, so I like the way Qobuz is organized. They have human-curated playlists for discovering music, as well as a ‘similar to this’ section under each artist. Really, their service is very similar to apple music, but I wanted to avoid American services.
