I’m aware it has no concept of artistic quality. But I also don’t care about the quality of music, especially if perceived by some journalist. I only care if I like music. Some of it is intricately composed, masterfully performed. Some is pop, or generic/simple house.

The concept of artistic quality is simply subjective. I don’t think intricately composed music or complex music make a song artistically better. To me a quality song artistically song is simply and enjoyable and impactful song. My definition of impactful is wide too it make me a song with really serious subject matter or simply a funny simple song that could me feel better mentally .

While i enjoy an journalist talking about a song and album it doesn’t mean i will trust his opinion but i prefer that than an non human telling me what it think is music i would enjoy. Someone may talk negatively about a music and explain why he hate it and i may find the think he hated is what will make me enjoy the song he dislike

I have discovered entire genres with the algorithms you seem to think only give narrowing recommendations. Some people probably listened to those and something I liked.

I read Bandcamp daily to know about some obscure genre . It is again just my preference, i will always prefer human recommendation

Let me repeat again: I have discovered many, many artists for me that I literally would have no realistic chance of every hearing about in any other way. Ever!

Same but without relying on an algorithm

I am just expressing the other perspective. Not telling you to have the same

An algorithm has zero concept of artistic quality . I also want to always extends my taste and not the opposite

Discovering things via “press” isn’t free either, it takes time to read the articles, buy the magazines

I don’t know about you but this is so fun for me it bring me joy and fulfillment as opposed to being fed by algorithm

I want to find new music. This is fundamentally impossible with the music I own.

You can simply visit the artist page on lastfm and see related artists . On Bandcamp when i buy an album i want visit the profile on the people who buy the same item . There is really many way to discover artists without spotify when you think about it

It is a lot more fun to discover artists yourself. Browsing a list of album covers and enjoy them, read short description of the album and artist then listen to the music. You also feel the send of fulfillement becausw the process becomes a personal adventure rather than a passive experience

When you remove the source of the issue occupation hate will slowly vanish. But you antisemite think they could never ever have peace . You think Palestinians and Israelis are bloodthirsty by nature . Otherwise you would believe that with a real Truth and Reconciliation process peace will happen. You an idiot if you think Palestinians want to be occupied forever and once they gain freedom they would attack israel again

Keep projecting. You claim to be for a two state solution then keep talking about the BS that Palestinians want to destroy Israel. Stop blaming the victims palestinians was oppressed for 77 years and just want freedom nothing else

You are the troll. It’s you who is wrong in your head keeping saying that palestinians and israelis are all bloodthirsty people who would never stop killing each other. That’s the most antisemetic thing i ever heard

I am done with your stupid antisemitic view and your occupation and genocide apologia. Palestinians do not want to destroy Israel, they want to be finally free of 57 years of occupation and 77 years.

You claim that most Israeli Palestinians do not identify as Palestinian is false and I am not interested in your stupid theories.

Not sure what you mean.

Many people used to say black people in south Africa would avenge all the year of oppression if apartheid end.

It is really antisemitic to say that the both sematic people will never like each other . There is already 2 millions Palestinians in Israel you don’t see them trying to kill Jewish Israelis in Israel.

The reason it’s different in Gaza and the west bank is that they been occupied since 67 and the reason many normal Israeli civilians say the opposite is because of the rocket. So if you remove the source of the problem the occupation and with a real truth and reconciliation process the hate will slowly vanish

South Africans of all race have a shared culture and history

Not really the Afrikaners and black south African has very different culture . Hell ,even without the black south African the different ethnic groups has different culture. Israel and white south Africans are the oppressor. Palestinians and the black south Africans was the oppressed so yes it is valid to compare both situation. Old oppressors and old oppressed can reconcile

Then you probably haven’t heard of exclaves and enclaves before

Just explain how the state will be done instead of generic BS

But how do you think Palestinians and Israel would be convinced to do that? What people miss is the inconvenient truth that majority of Palestinians and Israelis want the other gone. Israelis voted for Likud, and majority of Palestinians voted for Hamas; both parties are ultranationalist parties.

You are using the same excuse used in south Africa. Many used to say that black south Africa would avenge themselves by attacking white people.

If you don’t believe that one day Palestinians and Israelis can forget about their hate toward each other then a one state or two state solution make zero difference because Palestine and Israel are neighbors

Palestinians support dropping arms once occupation end. Even if you don’t believe them Israel can easily reoccupy. Even if Hamas refuse to drop arms a Palestinian state with it’s own army will be charged to stop Hamas. The PA is already doing that. But those scummy western countries and Arab traitors are still supporting Israel and think it can fool us into believing they support a two state

If both sides actually act in good faith? Why not?

A new Palestinian state simply can’t absorb an additional two millions people and would be both side ethnic cleansing. You want instead of a democratic one state two ethenostates?

that’s why two-state solution is important. That was already mandated by the UN for 77 years but neither parties and their benefactors don’t want to follow.

Palestine want peace they just reject deals that doesn’t give them all the right that international law gave them. They should get all the recognized Palestinian land by the international community and a right to an army to defend itself . Israel leadership since it’s creation doesn’t want peace because they are the super military power ruled by a supremacist ideology that believe the whole land belong to them

You still didn’t answer the question how a two state solution would be made when part of Israel is between the west bank and gaza?

Yes, everyone wants the occupation to end

False . Israel never wanted the end of occupation since the beginning. The west don’t want either otherwise they would have sanctioned Israel since 67

So do you support the two-state solution

I support one state solution because i truly believe that it is possible for Israelis and Palestinians to live together in one democratic state.

Can you tell me exactly how is it possible to make a two state solution when Israel separate the west bank and Gaza? Would Israel accept 700k settlers in Israel or will Israel allow the millions Palestinians to be moved to a new Palestinian state that is weak economically?

condemn the October 7 that killed foreign hostages who have no stake on the conflict?

Yes, i condemn Hamas killing innocent civilians and take some hostages during the 7 of October. Now do you condemn 77 years of oppression conducted by Israel against Palestinians including the kidnapping and systematic rapes in israeli jail and during the nekba?

Hamas terrorism is a direct consequence of 77 years of oppression

You are the POS

Palestine just want to end occupation. Stop with equating the oppressed with the oppressor

How israel doing what hamas did for 77 years and doing s genocide right now, the lesser of the two evil? Stop doing genocide and occupation apologism

Those guys would have supported slave owners when Nat turner murdered somw kids during his revolt

I repeat all israeli prime minister was war criminal who brutalized Palestinians . Even most Israeli population do not give a damn about Palestinians so no hamas is not the reason why israel is still occupying Palestine and are committing a genocide

Israelis voted for Netanyahu because they are ok with the occupation. You love to make it just about Netanyahu but all the other Israeli prime minister are war criminals

what if Hamas wouldn’t have done so?

Israel would still have continued occupation and building illegal settlements because it is still ruled by the supremacist Zionist ideology
