Open post Crocodile Slattern @tobyleaf@mastodon.social · 9mo ago Replying to @quinnmx@tech.lgbt <p>I can't believe it's taken me until this week to switch from Spotify to Qobuz. Like many people I switched for ethical reasons but the experience is so much better!</p><p>Before switching to Qobuz, I genuinely thought my speakers were shit but it turns out that was Spotify's compression/clipping and my speakers are fine!</p><p>And I hadn't realised how much I was craving music recommendations from actual people not algorithms. Qobuz doesn't make such a big deal out of the magazine in their marketing but it's revolutionary to _read_ about music from within my streaming platform.</p><p>Also I was expecting to lose loads of my music but I haven't found anything missing yet, including (for example) a relatively obscure local band who split up before Qobuz even existed.</p> @quinnmx ooh, haven't heard of them, I went to tidal
Open post Crocodile Slattern @tobyleaf@mastodon.social · 14mo ago Replying to @quinnmx@tech.lgbt @tobyleaf Yes! I get very obvious dysphoria from my natural hair colour but I pay someone to do mine because only a professional job can fight the dysphoria there! @quinnmx i just had mine done professionally due to lack of energy etc and it was a pretty good experience 😊

Like some sort of magical eyebrow spell.</p> @quinnmx the equivalent of that for me is dyeing my hair!
