I know that you all know this, but I think it always needs to be repeated so it's crystal clear.

You are making material action to make a maginalised group's lives worse by buying that tat with a Slytherin logo on it. So maybe fuckin' don't?

Analysis paralysis over the distros available and taking care of all the data I'd have to pass from windows to Linux while hoping I don't lose/break anything in the process are what stop me in my track every time I think "ok done with Windows' bs" (because I don't have big HDDs lying around too)

These tools are built on theft, and many VAs have to take a contract even if it says they'll use genAI because they need the money that bad.
No amount of disclosure will change that these tools were built by massively hoarding data illegally for them to work even a little bit.

Maybe for more indie stuff that's true, but really, I got 95% of my songs from Spotify there (and a bunch were already unavailable in my region for Spotify) and I listen to a lot of game osts, city pop and some smaller American bands.

Also Deezer comes with a great library importer
