Open.audio specialises in #CreativeCommons tracks and other #Libre music, much of it from the Free Music Archive (http://freemusicarchive.org/). The FMA has been under threat recently, so open.audio is a sort of lifeboat for the content.
@deshipu it’s funny because as a programmer is seems silly (because it’s just email), but as someone whose tried to convince people to use email, it’s a clever psychological hack :)
Remembering the holocaust and not uncoincidentally renewing my lifelong resolve to reject, counter, opposite and defeat authoritarianism and bigotry in all forms, guises and contexts.
Godddd stop spreading the propaganda that entry-level retail workers are punished for other people's shoplifting. They aren't! I've worked retail for 4 years at 5 different places (Walgreens, Target - at 2 locations, Sam's, and 2 local places) and have never heard of this happening. Shrinkage is considered part of expenses, entry-level employees aren't expected to stop shoplifting (and are more often explicitly told not to), and this is definitely against company policy at any big chain
I'm sure it does happen under the table or at small businesses, but people talk about it like it's guaranteed every time you nick a drink. It's fucking not, and by saying this every single time someone talks about theft you're doing exactly what the capitalists - including the ones who enact this policy - want. They're holding workers hostage and you're giving in to their demands
@shoutcacophony sorry, I’m not trying to contradict you, I’m just trying to understand where these bosses come from as I agree with you that there’s no need for them, especially in foss.
