Oh, I think I'm familiar with that "chorus" (?). Maybe it was featured on Djs From Mars' The History of Hip Hop. It was also sampled in Timmy Trumpet, Marnik & Ely Oaks' Sound of da Police (with DES3ETT)

Not sure who KRS One is, but that was rather insightful. Never thought of it like that

That isn't really what I was questioning there. I was just wondering what makes race. One might associate, for instance, skin colour to race. But skin colour is more of a… idk, a range? It's not just two different things, black and white. There are darker skin tones, and lighter ones. It's a scale, really. So if we were to take skin colour as defining race, one would have to draw a line somewhere, where one becomes dark enough to be deemed Black (assuming you're taking skin colour as the indicator for race, that is). And that doesn't even account for other races one might see. If one, for instance, were to imagine Asian as a race (idk if it is. Is it?), Asians are (generally) white, no? As far as skin colour. Like, what is it that defines a race?

Oh, so the overall stuff. All the usual reasons. Or at least the ones I would think of. Paying bucks to make a free format "proprietary" while not paying shit to artists.

lossless recompression of existing JPEG Uh… how does it make a JPEG lossless? Or is it lossless in that it makes a JXL out of a JPEG without affecting the original JPEG quality (i.e. no further loss beyond JPEG's)?

Being able to turn JPEGs into JXLs and JXLs back to JPEGs is cool, though

What's with the AVIF thing? Yet another I am unfamiliar with (all I know about image formats is JPG = worse quality, PNG = better quality, GIF = animated (and something WebP. Idk much about that one either))

Also, in my research, I've found something about the distinction between lossless JXL vs lossy JXL. Seems like you wouldn't be able to tell if the image is lossy or lossless just from it being a JXL

Why was Spotify no longer an option? Was it, y'know… Or was it something else?

Have you heard of ListenBrainz? I dunno how it be with Qobuz, haven't used Qobuz (yet…), but ListenBrainz could potentially track that for you and serve as your platform-independent statistics and recommendation algorithm (at least with Spotify, it is able to connect directly to your account. Dunno of any specific Qobuz integration, but there may be apps to track listens externally from any particular service)

They lack Linux app, though, innit? Heard of 'em, pondered, researched… also, I'm on a family plan, and it's not up to me to handle that. So I'd probably have to pay for it meself, separately, adding overall family costs (and increasing mine, to no effect of others). Unless I get everyone to switch, and that might be hard

Mexico == cartels????!?!!!?!??

Mate, this is just sad :(

Wishing her the best! (I have no clue who she is, though. But it doesn't matter. My wish stands)

As for the other "fellers", I shall make no such wish

Edit: this also applies to each and every similar situation. Doesn't matter the victim or the perpetrators. All the best to trans people, and no such thing for the phobes

Why are they trying to make it happen, and why it no work? Is JXL better than PNG? Maybe I need to do some research to better learn the difference
