Naah just gotta wait until they fix it and it’ll be smooth sailing. Hope it works as well with my headphones and in the car as Spotify does.
I think it’s generally healthy, they do that as a form of therapy in homes. Even just taking care of a plant improved people’s moods.
how miniature are we talking?
Thanks for the second sentence actually, I decided to download the app and it looks great but it couldn’t play anything, and I was wondering if it was bc I have a Huawei phone without google services.
Unfortunately it seems free APIs are now becoming a thing of the past :(
Yoo does Spotube remove ads too? That’s exactly what I was looking for on mobile

tbh spotify solved a lot of headaches I had with organizing my music. I used to torrent full discographies from artists I discovered and organize the files on my PC which took up a lot of space. Eventually I started converting the mp3s to lower bitrates to save on space lol. I also had to spend time and harmonize the album titles and song titles within the folders because sometimes when you download music torrents the ripper likes to put a bunch of stuff or write everything in all caps. Spotify essentially does all that categorizing for me and with Spicetify I don’t even get ads anymore and I’m still on the free plan.
Only thing I don’t like with them is the algorithm, it’s so bad. Youtube’s is much better, google hasn’t enshitified that yet at least.
I recommend Cockshott’s video! He’s a terf but he’s a very good economist
This is factual, Gonzalo actually took ownership of the event. I don’t wanna say responsibility because he still defended it, but SP did claim the massacre.
Thanks for reading! The original theme maker basically mastered the header, as they should since they made the theme. For example, you could always press the / key to bring up the search menu on any page with this theme, it’s just that it wasn’t advertised. Hence, like them, we put the shortcut in the new search bar.
I’m not 100% sold on the pillbox and I’m looking at ways to think of it differently; it works well on their wiki for various reasons, but I feel it’s a bit out of place on our wiki and there’s an information overload. Still, it allows us to compactly (as you pointed out) direct visitors to areas that we want them to look at, like our marxism portal, or areas of the website that we know they are often looking for. I notice now I didn’t really talk about the pillbox in the article, I might go back in and edit that.
We have a TikTok (including a video that did 450k views!) but we don’t use it a lot. We don’t really have anyone who wants to revive it at this time, it’s a lot of work to do by oneself.
Hahaha the game is a scam but the wiki is a work of art, though I find them to be better on visuals than coding, there’s very little documentation for the theme and they rely heavily on css variables in a way that makes them very difficult to understand and modify.
There’s a little bit of stolen valor there because we got the header (up until the boxes that start with “read next”) from the star citizen wiki, that made the theme we use. Kind of a steal but I figure since we use their theme already, which was custom-made for their wiki but they released publicly for every other wiki to use, we can also take inspiration from their layout.
There’s also that, but I’m also using the word productive here to mean to produce an output, e.g. a text, a song, a pottery…
Taking a walk is also a hobby! Sometimes we don’t realize that the things we do are hobbies, and don’t consider them to be anything, but anything you do somewhat regularly during leisure time is one of your hobbies!
That’s not what I said at all 👍
I think in a marxist sense services are simply considered commodities: a product, though intangible, whose purpose for existing is to be bought and sold.
However, I think massage therapists and plumbers are productive because they create profit and thus accumulation of capital for their employer (or for themselves if they’re self-employed).
We look at them from the POV of who hires their work, e.g. the client booking an appointment, but the rendering of services is what matters and what creates profit: a massage company charging 100$ for a massage and paying their therapist 60$ per massage makes a 40$ profit off every client, rendered possible by the therapist’s labor.
The bakery in your example requires both types of labor: the bakers are productive because they imbue value in a commodity, but the cashiers are not because they don’t directly create profit, they turn the value of the commodity into its money-form – from what I understand of Cockshott’s video “Are barristas productive?”. If the bakers are also the cashiers as is often the case in this late-stage capitalism period, they perform both types of labor: some of it is productive, some of is unproductive.
We can take another example: a capitalist hiring a chef. In either cases, the chef produces a cooked meal with his labor-power. If the capitalist hires the chef to cook a meal for himself (and provided the chef didn’t come through a temp agency or whatever else but was directly hired as they used to do back in Marx’s days), then the labor was unproductive: it didn’t generate more capital. If however the capitalist hires the chef for his restaurant, the labor is the exact same, but it becomes productive because the meal is sold for a profit.
great things are happening on this platform
