Qobuz

. . . and I guess it said this somewhere (though not explicity), but after paying $22.89 for a 20-track album, I'm only allowed to download like 11 of the 20 tracks for rights reasons. What complete and utter bullshit. Caveat emptor. Anyone know how I can pull the flac files off the Qobuz player? Grrr.

I've watched their tutorials and asked questions on the forum without success; looks like I may have to use the HTML/CSS editor, but can't seem to figure out how it works exactly.

For the moment, I'm just trying to move text around on the header and make some other associated tweaks; I can go into more detail if this sounds like it might be up your alley (ok, that sounds kind of weird, but I guess you know what I mean . . . )

Would be much obliged for any help!

Allure
SN 22:26  Assāda Sutta | Allure | dhammatalks.org

Near Sāvatthī.

“Monks, before my self-awakening, when I was still just an unawakened bodhisatta, the thought occurred to me: ‘What is the allure of form? What is its drawback? What is its escape?

“‘What is the allure of feeling? What is its drawback? What is its escape?

“‘What is the allure of perception? What is its drawback? What is its escape?

“‘What is the allure of fabrications? What is their drawback? What is their escape?

“‘What is the allure of consciousness? What is its drawback? What is its escape?’

“Then the thought occurred to me, ‘Whatever pleasure & joy arises dependent on form: That is the allure of form. The fact that form is inconstant, stressful, subject to change: That is the drawback of form. The subduing of desire & passion, the abandoning of desire & passion for form: That is the escape from form.

[Similarly with feeling, perception, fabrications, & consciousness.]

“Monks, as long as I did not have direct knowledge, as it had come to be, of the allure as allure, of the drawback as drawback, and of the escape as escape, with regard to these five clinging-aggregates, I did not claim to have directly awakened to the right self-awakening unexcelled in the cosmos with its devas, Māras, & Brahmās, in this generation with its contemplatives & brahmans, its royalty & common people.

“But when I did have direct knowledge, as it had come to be, of the allure as allure, the drawback as drawback, and the escape as escape, with regard to these five clinging-aggregates, then I did claim to have directly awakened to the right self-awakening unexcelled in the cosmos with its devas, Māras, & Brahmās, in this generation with its contemplatives & brahmans, its royalty & common people.

“Knowledge & vision arose in me: ‘Unprovoked is my release. This is the last birth. There is now no further-becoming.’”

Desire & Passion

Near Sāvatthī.

“Monks, abandon any desire & passion for form. Thus that form will be abandoned, its root destroyed, made like a palmyra stump, deprived of the conditions of development, not destined for future arising.

“Abandon any desire & passion for feeling…

“Abandon any desire & passion for perception…

“Abandon any desire & passion for fabrications…

“Abandon any desire & passion for consciousness. Thus that consciousness will be abandoned, its root destroyed, made like a palmyra stump, deprived of the conditions of development, not destined for future arising.”

  • Oh, excellent, thank you!

    EDIT: Uh, but I'm not sure I have the know-how to be a moderator, or was that just so I could add the icon? I'll see if I can find a nice banner to add to it. It also looks as though Iainon is no longer with us . . . ?

    EDIT EDIT: Any particular "flavor" of Buddhism that you subscribe to? I tend to the Theravada side of things, but am interested in Buddhism in all its many forms.

    Can I make complimentary/free/no strings attached "lemmicons" to ***offer*** to lemmy.ml communities that don't already have them?
  • Ok, this is as far as I got with the Buddhism lemmicon; I'll try to work more on him later.

    I'd like it if his eyes were closed and he had droopy earlobes . . .

  • Proton is dead (for me). Let's collect and discuss alternatives! ✊🛡
  • Oh boy, getting old here, let's see if I can remember.

    I think in part it was because they seemed unable to fix the Linux desktop client after months and months and months, and repeated support requests. Also, I had been a user of theirs for some time when they changed how their plans worked, and moved a feature I relied heavily upon (I think it was email templates—something you might never need!) to a much more expensive plan. Felt like I was being charged more for being a longtime user. I don't know if they have cloud storage now, but at the time they didn't, and Proton had that, along of course with mail and calendar—all of that for less than what Tuta was offering which was mail, calendar, and plenty of other features that were continuously promised but never released. So really just a bunch of little things that were important to me, but which other users might never miss.

  • How am I supposed to go back?
  • Do you need to go back? What exactly are you going back from? Is it not serving your needs? There are plenty of alternatives to Google services; I'd be happy to provide some suggestions, if you'd like, having been through this ever since The Snowden Affair.

  • Proton is dead (for me). Let's collect and discuss alternatives! ✊🛡
  • AFAICT, it looks like all he's doing is praising Trump's pick for AG in the Antitrust division . . . although if you look over her Wikipedia page, you're right, it doesn't look all that encouraging.

    Can someone on Mastodon ask the Proton CEO what it was exactly that she did that he likes so much? Anyone who can work at Fox for any length of time, frankly, is complete and utter shite.

    EDIT: Also, just as a broken clock can be right twice a day, President 🍄 sank the Trans Pacific Partnership, which was the right thing to do, but for the wrong reason: mainly to get back at Obama for existing. So in the same way, I suppose it's possible that Slater did something good, but I'd sure like to know what it was.

  • Proton is dead (for me). Let's collect and discuss alternatives! ✊🛡
  • You could look at infomaniak, but I didn't have the best experience trying out (or even getting started with) their services. Finding a provider that has all of Proton's apps is going to be tough (or at least it was from me while I was looking to escape from Tuta). Good luck, tho.

    EDIT: Infomaniak is on F-Droid!

  • Proton CEO embraces Trump for "standing up for the little guys"
  • Did he (the CEO) really need to do this? Orange 🍄 Guy's probably never even heard of Proton. The transition for me from Tuta to Proton was long and rough, so I'm not prepared to jump ship just yet and really hope I won't have to.

    Victor Pelevin made his name in 90s Russia with scathing satires of authoritarianism. But while his literary peers have faced censorship and fled the country, he still sells millions. Has he become a Kremlin apologist?

    Are there any working instances of Invidious left?
  • That reminds me, I think I remember reading on the FreeTube page that they recommended using a VPN with it (this was before the current issues with Mullvad); anyone know why? Are FreeTube users in any danger of being hunted down by Sundar Pichai & co.?

  • What did the philosopher Hegel (one of Marx's chief influences) mean exactly by "recognition?"
  • Much to reflect upon! Thanks to @Slab_Bulkhead@lemmy.world (you aren't by any chance serving on the Southern Sun at the moment, are you?) and @zedcell@lemmygrad.ml.

    Are there any working instances of Invidious left?
  • Yeah, same here! I have to turn off Mullvad when watching FreeTube which is definitely annoying.

  • Are there any working instances of Invidious left?

    I really hope the answer is "yes," but gosh-darned if I can find one. The FreeTube app still works as long as my VPN is off, but as for Invidious . . . (also, sorry if this has already been covered earlier).

    EDIT: Ok, well now it looks like I can get FreeTube to work with some Mullvad locations but not others . . .
