I bought on qobuz before! But I’m with you, it’s really hard to find a legal way to purchase certain albums. If a tool like that existed it’d be so convenient. It’d save me a lot of time searching for how to purchase.

You’d be surprised, quite a lot of artists still put out CDs! A lot of artists I like sell them when you go to their shows, it’s a great way for them to make money, along with selling other merch. I also really like collecting them. I also check out a lot of CDs from the library (more useful for older music, I listen to a lot of jazz and classical). I rip the CDs and throw them into my library, assuming there isn’t a digital version already available.

I scrobble my listens using Last.fm and ListenBrainz, which has given me some decent recommendations. It’s worked well enough for me. Maybe I’m “missing out” on more recommendations by not being on Spotify or other streaming service, but I still manage to find so much to listen to organically anyway. Also like @HouseOfJazz@lemmy.world, YouTube recommendations work too.

I don’t bother with streaming services anymore. I set up Navidrome on my home server for my music library and love it.

Also, I may be in the minority here, but I decided to start paying artists directly for their music. Whether it be buying a CD at a show or buying off of Bandcamp. I didn’t want most of my money going to Apple/Spotify, I want my favorite artists to at least get something for their hard work …

Yes, it’s more expensive if you expect to have the entire Spotify catalog at a moment’s notice, but I may be old fashioned in that I like listening to albums front to back, and tend to listen to a single album on loop for a long time. After I’ve worn out that album, then I’ll move onto another one. Buying about an album a month has worked out for me, which is about the cost of these subscription services (I know I’m definitely in the minority here in the way I listen to my library, but figured I’d share anyway).

Appreciate the admin team so much, thank you!

I found out about Kagi from another Lemmy user and I’ve been really impressed. I feel like I’m getting better results than Google. I’m using their Personalized Results feature and it helps a ton!

I was going to say the same thing. I’ve been doing what others recommended (sorting by Top for last X hours) and I see so much about Twitter & Reddit, and to make it worse, reposts of the same link that got upvoted a lot in different communities. I really wish there were a way to filter these posts out in the Lemmy settings (like Mastodon filters), because I’m tired of seeing the same rehashed discourse about those platforms over and over again…

Didn’t know about this site until this post! Thanks for sharing. It’s a gold mine for sustainable practices.

Agh that’s too bad! In that case I’ll just say I want to know more details about the reward you get when completing all 152 shrines. So many questions!

Is it possible to post spoilers on Lemmy?

I’d love to be able to get my belongings down to the ~20L range! I’m currently at 40L and trying to figure out what I can cut. Having two laptops doesn’t help…

I was considering the Tom Bihn Techonaut 30 initially! I got to see it and try it on. It’s an amazing bag, amazing build quality, and great organizational features. The only downside was that the bag didn’t fit my torso length, it was perfect otherwise. I’d recommend it if you’re average height or taller!

I love that shit and use it all the time.

What do you use it for?

Was there anything particularly confusing? I can try and clear it up.

You can go on the KeePass downloads page and find a client that works for you. I like using Keepassium on my iPhone and KeePassXC on my laptop.

Instead we could have a ‘dive’ feature that lets us visit an ancient Zora, spread out in the waters in and around Hyrule.

The Legend of Zelda: The Way of Water

In all seriousness though, this sounds amazing. There are so many unanswered questions from the BotW universe. It would be interesting to see another addition to the series.

I travel with one that I bought years ago at EWR. It’s quite bulky, but I find it nice to have for longer flights. I don’t use it just around my neck, sometimes I like using it for some back support.

I’m interested in one that can pack down smaller. Maybe one of those inflatable ones?
