wide footprints

i find myself a minimalist. i don't really have any
apps on my phone, mostly just a lot of music, and my
daily activities on the computer usually only take
a terminal and web browser. i use the suckless WM,
terminal emulator and image viewer. i use a hardened ROM.
i minimize the amount of accounts and connections i have

world is kinda uncertain, and a lot of the new stuff just
feels kinda evil. i'm glad there are still ways to mostly
remove yourself from it.

new administration in the united states is pretty bad.
people speculate that TB cases will rise, and they are
going to remove the climate protections, programs for
poor students and such. moving the country towards family
and god, but it's worrying to think about the people
who lose here

i'm reading a book about Spotify right now, how they came
to be and their contracts with major labels, the way they
operate and such, i've download all my music as FLAC or
ripped it from CDs for about a year and a half now, and
really I don't know why people would do any different.
i guess streaming makes it convenient, but then you still
have bandcamp. i already knew Spotify behind the scenes, but
the book details it really well and i've learned a lot more.
it's called Mood Machine if you want to read it. by Liz Pelly
