I'm replacing my old and battered Marshal headphones with some Repeat ones (repeat.audio) from the Netherlands. Also opened an account (Standard) with Mailbox.org, quite pleased. Currently analyzing/considering moving from Spotify to Qobuz.

They ran ICE ads and only stopped because the campaign ended, not because of massive backlash: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/jan/09/spotify-no-longer-running-ice-recruitment-ads-after-us-government-campaign-ends

They hosted and donated to the orange shitstain while disproportionately targeting "controversial" black artists: https://www.themarysue.com/spotify-supporting-donald-trump-is-horrifically-hypocritical-after-how-theyve-treated-controversial-black-and-brown-musicians/

They pay hundreds of millions to nazi propagandists for the exclusive rights to spread their hate: https://apnews.com/article/joe-rogan-spotify-deal-76fa0e2c9d4b137f510428528ea6226b
