Step 1. Purchase 8-10 albums from your favorite artists on Bandcamp (Bandcamp typically has flac files)

2. Subscribe to Tidal with a VPN in a poor country for very cheap ($4).
3. Pay for one month of one of the music migration services ($5).
4. Use Tidal-dl to get all the FLACs your heart desires.

Honestly you can probably keep Tidal, it’s cheap and good. But always download the FLAC files for anything you don’t want to lose.

I don’t like it, no. This “comm” pretends to care about solving mod abuse but then half the posts boil down to circlejerking and casual cyberbullying. Lemmy is worse for it.

I’ll see myself out✌️

You are correct that this is tantrum behavior on your part. Most of the posts here are tantrums and it’s annoying.

What’s your point? ValueSubtracted owns the instance and he doesn’t want drama communities. It’s not an abuse of power if he literally owns the instance. You aren’t even on that instance so none of it applies to you.

Moreover, I’m sure that the timing of me calling them out and them blocking the community have absolutely nothing to do with one another.

I’m sure it’s completely related and I don’t blame them for doing it. It’s wild that you think you have the right to borderline harass someone and they’re just supposed to take it.

The “powers that be” are not running micro lemmy instances. This is someone who was banned and came here to throw a tantrum about it (just like the majority of the posts here).

The same thing that 80 percent of posts in this community are. Someone got banned for breaking a rule, and now they’re trying to wage a PR campaign against the people that banned them.

They moderate all drama communities

Not saying I agree with the policy but they explicitly say they moderate drama communities

What even is the accusation here? ValueSubtracted is abusing the position of… administrating the instance they own?

Shit I’d report to your admins too if you posted shit like this about me.

Did you find an update? BPC is still not working for me on The NY Times.

Sudachi is a Yuzu fork getting semi-regular updates.

Yes they have for a while! Much nicer.

Any idea what the file format is? I hope it’s CHDs.

FreshRSS needs better filters. I wish I could just say “If [title] contains ‘PREMIUM’ then delete”.

Nope I don’t have that checked. I also marked all as read and ran a purge manually and it did not delete them.

Thanks for the responses I may just totally wipe then reinstall with my preferred settings and see if it takes this time.

I had not noticed that option! Thank you so much. It did not solve the problem in my original post but it’s still very helpful.

That would be unfortunate if true. Honestly, if I could I would do away with the “read/unread” concept altogether. Are there really people out there who want to read absolutely everything in their feeds?

In the settings menu I have set the “maximum number of articles to keep” at 25, and yet my feeds have more than 25 articles in them.

You gotta pump those numbers up those are rookie numbers

This is super helpful, I wonder if Calibre-Web uploads can be handled this way too.
