It’s got electrolytes!

What’s the difference these days?

No, they’re allowing the Cinco de Mayo celebrations to happen so they know where to direct ICE to kidnap and murder citizens. Fuck ICE!

I don’t know if they have a free tier but I see Deezer mentioned a lot in this post as a good alternative.

I have seen Qobuz and Deezer mentioned a lot as a good alternative in this post.

Do you have a source for Deezer running ICE ads? I couldn’t find anything with a quick search.

And Apple famously did never kiss trumps ass

Tim Apple famously kissing Trumps ass:

• Tim Cook Gave Trump a 24K Gold Gift, but Apple Got the Bigger Win

During a carefully choreographed White House visit this week, Apple CEO Tim Cook gave Donald Trump a bespoke plaque made of Gorilla Glass and mounted on a 24-karat gold base, but the real value may have been what Apple took home.

The gift, custom-designed by a former U.S. Marine turned Apple employee, featured a large circular slab of Corning-made Gorilla Glass with a hollowed Apple logo at its center. Trump’s name was etched near the top, while “Made in USA – 2025” was engraved at the base alongside Cook’s signature. The disc sat atop a solid gold base sourced from Utah, and even the packaging was produced domestically.

Not everyone is aware of the controversies. Until recently I was one of them. I’m hoping this post will reach them and encourage them to join the boycott.

Notice how they have reviews disabled on Google Maps. I wonder how many bad reviews they had before they decided to disable it.

I don’t know, sorry. But here is a list of alternatives:

I was considering writing something similar. Along the lines of, “I love your service but I can’t in good conscience continue to give money to a company y that partners with such morally bankrupt organizations.”

I used Sunnify for Linux to convert my Spotify downloads to mp3 so now I have all the songs I listened to on Spotify.

I wasn’t really paying attention to anything about Spotify until recently. My bad. I’m trying to get better about researching where my money goes.
