  • Spotify Music

    Spotify can be free. Don’t cancel the premium if you ever buy it, run Spotify in a browser while running an ad blocker.

    I feel like the music industry is pushing you into sticking to a team like Apple Music or Spotify, Soundcloud Go. This “hack” to get free Spotify isn’t useful if you’re at a gym. Lets investigate a way of getting free music if you really are struggling. Here are some options I found exploring the web.

    Spicytify: Command-line tool to customize the official Spotify client. Supports Windows, MacOS and Linux.

    Psst: A fast Spotify client with a native GUI written in Rust, without Electron. Psst is still very early in development, lacking in features, stability, and general user experience. It’s fully cross-platform, supporting Windows, Linux, and macOS.

    Spotube: A cross-platform extensible open-source music streaming platform.

    These are all open-source options.

    After some more digging I found the piracy mega thread on Reddit. This has a bunch of great URLs if you’re looking for some free music that you don’t want to pay for. I found Lucida on there.

    yt-dlp is another great project that allows you to rip music from YouTube, just read the documentation beforehand.

    There is way more on that Piracy reddit which has third party resources you can use for free entertainment.

  • Norton

    You can go on eBay and search for “Norton antivirus”.

    You can then get Norton for a cheap price for a year with all the perks. It’s a good VPN deal too although I find the Norton VPN a little too secure. It is also anti-piracy.

    They actually aligned themselves with Avast antivirus software, they’re pretty much the same thing.

    This is not a paid ad. I’m just showing it, I suppose I recommend it for how cheap it is and the perks you get from it.

    It helps you update your software and offers a VPN.

    It’s sometimes a little bit too secure. But that’s ok. I think for the small amount of six dollars this is worth it. You get a year to try it and see whether you want to continue using Norton.

    If you purchase one of the eBay one-year trials with multiple devices associated with the package, you can get protection on your phone too which is a bonus. Norton is a well-known antivirus firm. The VPN was terrible in my opinion but that’s my perspective on things, it’s anti-internet, it’s allergic to everything, especially when I was online gaming.

    Better off going for a different VPN.

    The deepfake protection was useless for me.

    Much cheaper than the website.
