If you&#39;re having ethical issues with Spotify, now might be the time to make a change. I&#39;m not naive enough to assume Deezer is free from sin, but it&#39;ll do for now. They also have a one month free trial at the moment.</p><p>Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.</p><p><a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/trending/spotify-faces-boycott-calls-over-ceos-investment-defence-startup" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">middleeasteye.net/trending/spo</span><span class="invisible">tify-faces-boycott-calls-over-ceos-investment-defence-startup</span></a></p>

Mike In The Summer Garden<p>Shasta daisies always remind me of the school summer holidays here in Wales. </p><p>The &#39;common or garden&#39; version that most people&#39;s granny would have in their gardens was practically everywhere when I was growing up.</p><p>And then those cruel breeders got hold of it and tortured it into nasty, malformed, and oddly coloured variants. </p><p>Yuck!</p><p>We have this absolute beast in our garden that proudly attains a lofty height of at least 5 ft tall.</p><p>The flowers stink to high heaven, but I love it anyway! </p><p>😊</p>

Richard Rollinson<p>The tomatoes have started to come through a little better now, although they are smaller than usual (but taste great!). We had a little surplus for the neighbors to set out today. Best thing is that the corn conveyor is still providing for our corn-fest.

Something different this week, where I take an overview of all the clients in the fediverse ecosystem and which ones stand out to me. There are a huge amount of great clients and apps for the fediverse available, so I'm giving an overview of the clients I pay the most attention to.

Feel I missed some? I'd love to hear!
