Is the internet killing music?
Before itunes / spotify became popular everyone bought whole albums in physical format.
With an album, you listen to multiple songs in the order the artist intended, which means they follow on from each other and the artist can create a better feeling / emotion that flows through the whole album.
Albums have songs that wouldn't be considered great on their own but work perfectly in the context of the other songs.
Now though everyone just buys music online and only cares about buying single songs / adding singles to their spotify playlists.
IMO this just makes artists to be forced to make every song stand-alone and catchy so it gets on the charts so people listen to it because they know if they make a song to tie and album together 95% of people aren't even going to listen to it.
None of my friends listen to albums anymore, their music collection consists of probably at most 5 songs by the same artist, mostly just stuff that got popular in the charts.
Thoughts? Does the internet and convenience actual make some things worse?
what are singles
Also, what you are talking about is normalfag shit. Fuck them.
Good artists are going to make whatever the fuck they want.

Nah fuck that shit 99% of artists would fill the rest of their albums with crap and would sell it on the backs of a couple hit songs but charging a full album price.
The modern era of entirely focused on singles is way better for almost every person because most artists dont do the continuity you talk about and now they cant get away with shoveling in crap songs on an album. They have to make good songs and only good songs if they ever want that song to sell or succeed.
While some artists still try to make whole albums that need to be listened to sequentially, they are very rare and were certainly never the majority in history either. Artists were just as focused on singles getting on the radio as they are now.
I think your problem is more a difference of genre and style interests with your friends than your supposed album vs singles idea
These are the same people who listened to radio more so than albums.
Have any of you anons bought a chromebook pixel? How is it now? Do you regret your purchase?
>>58277043
It's beautiful and well made but at the end of the day it's specs are average, which makes it the single most retarded purchase, even above buying Apple shit.
>>58277043
Posting from my 2015 base model and it's pretty awesome... I have a 2015 13" MBP too that goes mostly unused now that I have the Chromebook.
>>58277096
> muh specs
ChromeOS runs well even on shitty specs and the Pixel is overkill.
What if a sci-fi show used technology in a scientifically accurate way?
Would you still rage about it even if it got everything right?
https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/5lg36s/we_are_deep_six_a_hard_science_scifi_series/
Only an idiot rages about inaccuracies in a sci-fi show. The rest of us are enjoying the shows.

More like Edward snowed-in lmao
Glad /g/ finally grew out of the "Snowden was a proponent of liberty" meme.
Fuck that self-righteous ruski martyr.
What makes you think, that Snowden was not a proponent of liberty?
Honestly if I had to choose between breaking out or keeping my mouth shut and collecting serious bank, I would have just kept quiet and taken the money
>guy lives in Hawaii
>$$$
to call him anything other than a proponent of freedumbs is bullshit though, even though we already had things like the patriot act, his actions let us become aware of the truth
>>58277022
Because he openly supported Clinton in the election. Anyone in favor of Clinton cannot be a proponent of liberty.

Is Void Linux a good distro for Desktop or is only a meme?
Last time I checked, gcc version was 4.8
It was 2016.

>Unlike trillions of other existing distros, Void is not a modification of an existing distribution. Void's package manager and build system have been written from scratch.
Reinventing the wheel yet again.
no packages but it doesn't rely on systemd or glibc
it seems like it would be good for a raspberry pi

What do people do in a situation where you need to format your PC and you no longer have the installation disks for anything? At that point do you just back it up and the disk is useless anyways?
Install Gentoo

You mean drivers? You can get that stuff online, assuming your hardware isn't too ancient.
If you mean softwares, I don't know what to tell you. Just pirate it.

When do you think we will upgrade our internal parts such as biological memory, heart, longevity, etc.?
Seems in this age we're just focused on computers instead of on our human version. Eventually we will turn into aliens in the future.
also we need to upgrade our movement speed, it sucks
