    Quickly and effortlessly get some music playing that can act as a backdrop for your real activity such as working, driving, cooking, hosting friends, etc. Keep it rolling indefinitely. The particular songs don’t matter much. They are fungible as long as the general mood stays consistent.

    can’t relate

    i find new awesome music all the time, i only found i loved hardstyle 8 years ago, techno 5 years ago, vaporwave like a year ago

    This is a fantastic service if you’re not that interested in music and are just looking for the aural version of mediocre Ikea artwork to cover the bare walls of your day

    if you want to make it harder for yourself to discover new music then cool, but don’t imply that because you used spotify as a sort of cafe jazz background radio that we all use it like this





  • Life is not pretty good right now.

    I’d say it is for most things

    I have solar, a solar battery, and EV, stable employment, great job actually, not being invaded by Russia, Brisbane won like all the local sports tournaments, I have unlimited music on Spotify, AI has been huge for me, I’m getting so much more done, my local cafe makes amazing food, overall my life is no real complaints except

    Housing

    afaik housing is pretty much the only real negative we have here and it’s been a negative for me since at least 2012 when I was looking at buying a house for the first time

    no one really wants to fix it.

    I duno about that, outside of climate change I’d say it’s #2 on issues being tackled

    Research by Gamlen and his colleague Peter McDonald shows that since around the turn of the century, conservative governments have made universities dependent on international student fees, created the 457 temporary skilled migrant visa, expanded post-study work rights, and signed nearly 70% of Australia’s working holiday migration agreements.

    In contrast, Labor’s policies when in power have tended to tighten immigration rules.

    When in government, Labor has raised compliance and labour standards on students and skilled workers, cracked down on shonky education providers and visa hopping, and tightened English language tests.

    “There is no foundation to claims that Labor has followed a policy of ‘Big Australia’,” they conclude.

    In other words, says Gamlen, “it’s the temporary program which creates a lot of the issues that the Coalition are most worried about, and yet they are the party most in favour of the temporary migration”.

    Labor has promised to support the build of 1.2m homes, and 55,000 social and affordable homes, by June 2029.

    https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/jun/15/labor-has-promised-12m-new-homes-in-its-second-term-is-it-possible

    I duno if they can build that many homes but tbh I’m not even aware there was a target prior to labor coming in
