5 is where it’s at boys. Max crisp, no burning.

It takes a long time for large organizations to learn lessons. At least they are challenging themselves.

Although I have family plans for both Spotify and Youtube, I only use my local itunes libraries for listening and curating my music.

All the tracks have their corresponding albums. All tracks except new ones are rated. A lot of my purchase goes to the artist (more if I buy from Bandcamp), and all my music is always available on planes, trains, road trips, and camping trips regardless of the status of the network.

It’s also surprising how much stuff just isn’t on streaming. I’d say about 10-20% of my library can’t be found on Spotify.

I have tried Spotify and apple music for discovery but actually find it very difficult to get them to offer me stuff I don’t already own or know about. In general I usually find out about new stuff from recommendations or forums or just following specific bands and musicians i already know.

I never plan to change owning my library .

MILDLY infuriating?!?!!

Jokes on them, i use neither.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out legally as he theoretically doesn’t have the legal right to continue without congress’ approval.

They’re both so fucking awful and weird.

It will end with Putler’s head on a pike.

I would love it if this were true, but as a member of the mag seven, they get a huge majority of the investible income of the world by default. Passive investing is 55% of the overall investing that happens now, and that means sending money to zuck more or less regardless of what he does or doesn’t do. It’s very hard to fuck that up. Not impossible, but they will be handed a lot of money for a long time. They will have to really fuck up badly to really die.

Just doing my duty to make the world a punnier place.

Pretty good, pity about the typo.

Shit, I’m 52 and fairly well off but I do this. There are so many overpriced things around these days. A lot of tech is really overestimating what it’s worth.

Slop coding

Ok but TF my dad on dude?

Lol he’s trolling so hard

I don’t get it

The voting is done with money, and the money is in a few hands which right now say “yes, yes it is”. I don’t think this will last forever, though. Their free cash flow won’t allow it, and they are notoriously fickle.

Certainly this must be jumping the shark finally, no?

I’m in awe that you are safer every time you get in a plane than every time you get in a car .

Someone had a Lemmy instance that did this for quite a while. It’s gone now unfortunately.
