Easy enough. You can also install QuillOS which an open source operating system for Kobos.

The bottom line is that people are accountable for their own actions and not the actions of others, and that’s exactly how it should be.

The problem with that logic is that anyone can be let off the hook for immoral/illegal behaviour as long as they have said beforehand that they’ll do it.

If I walk into a shop and tell the shopkeeper I’m going to rob them should I then get to take whatever I want with impunity?

I don’t mind either way. This works - thanks :)

I know what you’re saying but:

If they abused her it is them who are responsible, not her.

Pretty straightforward.

P.S Do you know of a way to browse other gsettings keys?

Yes :)

Looking into that command and checking the current value uses ‘get’ instead of ‘set’. (If that’s helpful to others reading this).

You are a peach, thank you 👍

they’re complaining about how much competition there is

And is that competition fair?

new quality music artists put music on YouTube and music subscription services.

And most of us will never be exposed to it,

There’s a ton of good music

Again, most of us will never be exposed to it. It is culturally lost.

so you have to spend a lot of money to actually make a career out of your own music

So you disagree with yourself about the best music ‘spreading itself’? I genuinely don’t want to humiliate you because I think you are contributing to the discussion in good faith and English may not be your first language but readers should be aware that this isn’t a properly considered point to make.

So traditional music industry is incredibly important to success because they market. They have money to place music where people hear it.

You make my point for me, perhaps even better than I did.

I don’t understand your comment. Can you be more clear?

All of these attacks on Nigel’s Party are so lucid, objective and principled. Why do we handicap ourselves so?

Yes, in a purely free and meritocratic market it would. But the reality is that whoever has the most capital to invest in a release skews the market in their favour by getting a bigger share of finite attention/exposure, whether that’s radio plays or playlist placements.

Free market capitalism is an oxymoron and a failure in its own terms, not just in the arts but across the board. And there will be no music on a dead planet.

Check out YUNOhost, if you haven’t already. It’s designed to simplify self-hosting for beginners.

I use vectors in it all the time. They’re really useful and you can do a lot with them in GIMP.

“And the pedantic mathmeticians shall inherit the earth.”

It’s tragic in a way that as soon as the technology made it possible for anyone to rise up, capitalism stepped in to smack us all back down.

I might have created the best music in a generation but it will get smothered unless I can find a capitalist to invest in it heavily enough for it to get heard.

The more I understand economics and the longer I live with it, the more capitalism seems like a death cult.

It sounds like GIMP ticks all your boxes.

Yes, there seems to be an internal split among the MPs.

I don’t personally have Google Play Services installed but I can see how devastating this could be to open source on Android.

This is such welcome news :)
