in order: purchasing on bandcamp, streaming or purchasing from qobuz, streaming from most other platforms (apple music, tidal, deezer, etc.), or pirating (if financially unable to afford other options) are all valid alternatives to supporting the spotify corporation.

"I'm being paid the same now, when I make 500 shirts a day, as I did when I made 50 shirts a day. Where the fuck is the money going?"

The popular idea of luddites is entirely due to generations of capitalists trying their damnedest to obscure what is a very simple issue.

Oh damn good luck 🙌

I've been using Linux for ages, so I'm biased, but I actually feel like fully degoogling is harder. At least I still haven't done it 😭

Very curious to see how that goes for you!

I worked soul-sucking tech jobs at big companies and hated it. Eventually I started doing hobby game dev, attending Bay Area (where I moved for work) game dev groups.

In the end it was a friend of a friend's boyfriend that was hiring programmers for their new studio. That was my foot in the door!
