Exactly… slop for me, not for thee

Music streaming companies with active anti-AI policies are: Qobuz, Tidal and Deezer

Bandcamp is always worth mentioning if you want to buy music directly

Sorry, it was in the post body. Will update post to make this clearer.

Agreed! There are lots of excellent EU-based alternatives.

The layoffs could be as high as 20% of the company!

We can’t keep rewarding Big Tech for choosing AI over people.

We need to make the switch to support smaller & better businesses - reminder about purchasewithpurpose.io to help you get started.

It is truly horrifying when you drill into the numbers.

I can see that it MIGHT be useful as a tool for medical professionals, but exposing it to the public is an insane risk.

Pleasure - all fighting the same fight

Yeah also did that for my recent site using StaticBuilder and Codeberg. Took longer but well worth supporting smaller businesses.

Btw, if people are passionate about this topic. There is a community and website on !purchasewithpurpose@lemmy.world .

On their profile I actually note that for Proton: https://purchasewithpurpose.eu/software/502XMZgodpzlHVkhrmJMYd/

People in the community are already raising concerns that they are too focused on pushing new tools out rather than improving the ones they already have. Mailbox.org, Tuta and Posteo would be better choices if you are looking for an email-first provider.

Yeah I believe they still are - will add that as a disclaimer

Scidb

Love all the recommendations - thanks for sharing those. When adding more sections, I’ll look into some of these.

CopyParty

Hadn’t come across them. Thanks for the suggestion - will look at adding them.

Is the idea behind OuterTune to have a media player for your own downloaded music?

For MetaGer, there isn’t a free tier as far as I understand or can see. You need to pay for credits but key creation is gratis.

True… thanks for the correction - will fix that.

No, but involved different communities when creating it and some people made the move only to be told about Brave’s CEO history, then regretted it. Added the note so people can be informed one way or the other. Also, the thread linked gives an excellent opportunity for someone to get both sides of some of their controversies that have been shared with Brendan directly addressing each one in the comments.

Thanks! Will take all this feedback on board. Can see how some of the wording is confusing. I am looking at slowly introducing more information on each tool (screenshots included). For now, I try to link people as to where they can get this e.g. privacyguides

I also didn’t know about the privacytools situation. Will absolutely look more into that.

And your thoughts on Qobuz?

arkenfox.js

I believe it is on a similar level, but don’t quote me on that. They are both featured by privacytools and privacyguides. I’ll look to add arkenfox as that was missed.

I also found Tidal had the edge in user experience. I’m wondering how Deezer competes, as that is the next one for me to try.
