If musicbrainz has an acoustic fingerprint for the songs it doesn't need metadata. Picard is more or less the GUI version of beets.

Just the boring one: That all the exciting conspiracies (and other stuff like "culture wars") are there to distract from the banal reality of most people and the world being exploited by a few selfish assholes.
It was time to switch to Invidious anyway.
Which will stop working once this is implemented, since it doesn't use a trusted browser to access YT. As will any kind of automated access. Search engine bots, archive crawlers, third party apps... anything websites don't like or know won't be able to access them anymore.
If you want to continue using any of them, you should probably uninstall any Chrome-based browser now: https://techreport.com/news/google-tries-to-defend-its-web-environment-integrity-as-critics-slam-it-as-dangerous/
"Through WEI, Google aims to help websites weed out bots by verifying that the visitors on their domains are actual users."
In other words, if this gets implemented it is likely that Youtube will block anything that doesn't look like a "real browser" (i.e. Chrome), so no videos in alternative apps anymore.
Yeah, I added the link since the embedded image didn't seem to work.
New logo
Hm, how do images work across instances? Maybe this way?

If you want to push back against the rising right-wing bigotry modding a decently sized subreddit might be one of the most effective places for regular people to do so. Arguably that power is not irrelevant in today's social media landscape.
Let's hope there's already a law that the EU can find to apply (since they already don't like the non-EU dominance of big tech), or that they make one in time.
Might be different where you live, here with used parts you could get a Ryzen 1700, mainboard, 16 GB RAM, and a RX 570 for about $170. Decent for somewhat recent games, decent upgradeability. You're still missing case, PSU and storage (new SSDs are really cheap though), and peripherals like monitor, keyboard and mouse, if you still need those as well. You can get a cheaper system on older platforms, but then you'll have to replace the whole CPU/mainboard/RAM combo to upgrade.
Facebook's Datenhunger und andere mögliche Motivationen mal ganz beiseite, die Nutzerzahlenverhältnisse sind total unausgewogen. Mastodon hat weniger als 2 Millionen aktive Nutzer, Threads ist auf gutem Weg zu 100 Millionen, und das bevor es in der EU startet. Mastodon würde von dieser Menge einfach überrannt und seine eigene Charakteristik verlieren, von Lemmy mit 100.000 Nutzern ganz zu schweigen.
Threads blocken ist einfach notwendige Selbstverteidigung.
feels a little shady for Google to immediately do this immediately after payment stops. Not saying it’s a direct retaliation
It's not: https://www.reuters.com/technology/twitter-resumes-paying-google-cloud-bloomberg-news-2023-06-21/
I guess that was boring so it didn't get much attention.
I'm not saying a few people fucking over the rest is a conspiracy theory.
I'm saying that all those conspiracy theories people love to discuss are pushed to capture the attention of those people and have them think they're involved in something important and spend all their energy on that, so the assholes can keep on fucking them over without much resistance.
