  • I was referring to this:

    I sometimes take a moment to point out the obvious flaws in pieces such as this one due to a vain hope that someone responsible for reporting on things involving numbers will one day see such complaints and be inspired to do better.

    If you are going to complain about it, why not send the complaint to the people who are writing this stuff? You already wrote the comment, copy paste that to the feedback box. That way theres a 1% chance that someone reads it and learns from it. Just writing on Lemmy theres a 0.00001% chance for that.

    But like you said, to each their own, I guess. If screaming to the void makes you feel better, go for it.









  • Pretty randomly. I’m very picky about what I listen to, I’m very reluctant to listen to stuff recommended by my friends etc. I mostly stumble upon new stuff. Either I hear a cool song on a tv-show, like Golden Brown by The Stranglers in Clarksons Farm, or a collaboration with a artist that I already listen to, like happened when I found out about Têtes Raides through Yann Tiersen.

    But me being weird about how and when I find music is a pretty pointless thing to talk about since I think most people don’t do things the way I do. I’d recommend making a Last.fm account. Not only does it make lists of what you listen to, it has that “similar artists” thing. I use it mostly to have a list of stuff I’ve listened to, because I like lists. My last.fm account is the oldest account I have (now that google doesn’t let me use my gmail anymore lol), I’ve had it since 2005. Its pretty fun to go check what I listened to in February 2007 or something. I can see where my teenage relationship breakups were, based on HIM being the most listened to artist of a month lol
