Do you think this was a snub? I don’t listen to much mainstream music and even less white girl music so I wouldn’t know, but I do know there were a BUNCH of other artists in her niche making some very popular music so this doesn’t exactly surprise me.

Literally the only reason I log in at all is because I have the Master Chief Collection purchased through the Microsoft Store and Windows always picks up my Windows license once I login

To bypass the forced Microsoft account you can create a unattend file and pre configure the ISO to make a local account.

I should have done this when I set up my computer, I had to manually change it after I set up Windows 11. I don’t have anything against logging into my Microsoft account but having the actual account on the computer be a Microsoft account instead of a local account feels wrong. What if my account gets hacked, I’d just lose access to my computer!

I haven’t noticed the AP being that slow in comparison to other outlets IMHO

What about NPR in the US as well

I like AP News a lil better than Reuters. Axios and NBC News ain’t bad either if you’re okay with using sites that skew a lil farther to the left.

I’ve got a MASSIVE fricking OPML file I grab my news from and punch into various apps and sites like Feedly. I grab basically as many feeds as I can, except those that typically paywall their sites (like WaPo, NYT and WSJ)
