Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Tidal and Deezer are both absolutely horrible for free users (can only listen to the first 30 seconds of a song), and according to some of the people on this wonderful website, support Israel. I asked about alternatives yesterday, and it's the only thread I've ever made. Lots of creative solutions on there. I personally recommend Blockify on pc (spotify adblocker) and Newpipe (adless youtube) on Android. Have fun!

I'm looking for something that does multi-device remote control similar to how Spotify does. Deezer just cancels playback on the other device.

If you are comfortable self hosting then that's a really good solution. No device limits has been a godsend to me.

Not sure what app you're referring to since Deezer just doesn't have that feature.

I could be self-hosting though as I'm in the process of setting up a server.

navidrome or gonic.

symfonium or tempo fork

spend the first couple of weeks rating songs, make some smart playlists with rating filters, kick back.

Once Pandora went in the shitter, I moved on to self-hosting. So I have never used Spotify. As long as you take a little time once in a while to discover some new bands and add them to you collection its great.
