where_am_i,

meh, they’ll learn that we like their hardware and their OS, but not their spyware. If everyone does that, you’ll see next thing they do is start cutting down the spying.

I just hope that one day Spotify goes premium-only and all of you can go cry somewhere else.

Literally the hero of the music industry, but the whole lemmy takes a dump on them. Man, people on this platform are just all poor and uneducated. So, everything paid is bad, and no idea of what’s actually behind the costs.

Go pirate some mp3s and remember, that despite how disgusting music labels are, if everyone did what you do, your favorite artist would’ve stopped producing their music long-long time ago. So, this simply puts you into the same leeching category with the corpos that you so despise.

Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, again (www.engadget.com)

Spotify is officially raising its Premium subscription rates in the US come July, following reports of the move in April. The platform is increasing its Individual plan from $11 to $12 monthly and its Duo plan from $15 to $17 monthly — the same jump as last year’s $1 and $2 price hikes, respectively. However, its Family plan...

where_am_i,

BS. One new CD is at least 10$. A good band collection is then a year worth of subscription fees. So, do you only listen to a few bands?

Before Spotify I pirated everything. In lossless, ofc. I had 200GB of music, it wouldn’t fit on my ipod classic, and I still was limited.

I pirated at least a lifetime worth of Spotify premium and yet when I switched to Spotify I discovered so many more artists like the ones I already liked. If I now tried to buy all the songs I’ve listened to more than once in the last 5 years, I’d go bankrupt.

Spotify is way cheaper.

(now add ease of discovering new music, listening to whatever your friends want to listen to in a car, collaborative playlists, etc etc)

wow,lemmy hates corpos but upvotes this guy, jeez

where_am_i,

Or better nutrition. Hmm, what’s the real reason behind acceleration. Who knows, right?

It’s a museum. It doesn’t say “coal mining is a great technology of the future”. It says “here’s this thing of the past we used to do”. Or do you also expect a paleontological museum to only employ dinosaurs?

where_am_i,

Follow-up: kycoalmuseum.southeast.kctcs.edu/…/index.aspx

The Museum’s founders were very much aware that a large majority of mining communities around Appalachia and, indeed, around the state and nation no longer exist. Many individuals who grew up in these coal camp communities now have sons, daughters, and grandchildren who have grown up hearing the stories about what life was like in the coal camps. However, for many of those people who want to share that coal camp experience with their own children and grandchildren they cannot go home again, because so many of the state’s mining communities have been abandoned and torn down. It was with this thought in mind that the Museum’s collection was assembled and is housed in the wonderfully-restored Benham company store.

The goal in the development of the Museum, was to tell the story. It is the story of coal in Kentucky, and the story of the thousands of workers, most of who came from the Deep South and Eastern Europe to escape poverty, and build a better life for their families. Their stories are told at the Kentucky Coal Museum, perhaps as well as they are told anywhere in the world.

where_am_i,

Went to check. Turns out this time it’s not the case.

where_am_i,

That last paragraph. It just shows that your therapist sucks. Or you aren’t doing therapy right. But oh my, I’m sure you’re now walking around telling everyone how therapy saved you and how they all should do it to.

where_am_i,

we absolutely couldn’t now run a few experiments and estimate the weights from them. No that’s some sorcery.

where_am_i,

You have correctly identified that it’s not a lack of technological advancement that is holding our society back.

Now go solve social sciences, economics, psychology, and neuroscience. Come back and we’ll talk about how to design a world where nobody happens to install a motion sensor with a wrong range.

where_am_i,

Because you will suffer and then you will be corrupted by the demon of shortcutting and never really understanding anything. Yes, embrace the evil! Or resist the temptation and train your spirit (nothing trains the spirit better than abstract infinite vector spaces).

where_am_i,

Most modern ones are. But the old models don’t have a reverse cycle built into them. Also, for efficient heating in low temperatures you might want a different gas. Maybe not as relevant in California, but normally you wouldn’t be able to use your AC as a heat pump in below 0 celcius.

where_am_i,

I only have a bachelor’s degree, I’m in Europe so no dept, I made enough right after college to live on my own. I definitely don’t need to get a second job or move in with my parents. What am I doing wrong?

where_am_i,

No amount of radical activism will significantly change the political landscape in most EU nations. In fact, the activism is on the rise, and yet far right is winning big time. Soon in your EU parliament and bye-bye combustion cars ban. Expect abortion bans instead. And we aren’t even talking about the fact that most pollution now happens in countries that would be impossible to change to sincere green policies. Although the EU supply chain initiative is a step in the right direction, and yet just a drop in the bucket.

Your species are gone. And so are about a few billions of people in the developing world. The timer is some 10-30 years (90% prediction interval).

Exactly what am I supposed to do? My radical proposal is we develop some infertility drug and start putting it into the waterways. Do you know enough biochemistry? I’ll be the driver. On a different topic, instead of recycling my plastic bottles, I shredd them and flush them into the toilet. In the name of humanity and species diversity.

where_am_i,

Oh boy (or whatever), OP, have you walked into the wrong neighborhood. Half of the userbase is trans, 99% are feminist. I’m not entirely sure how you got this 80% upvote ratio.

anyways, get the f out with your boomer jokes.

where_am_i,

Even f*x news has better arguments than you guys: youtu.be/NCo-OgSC7Ps

where_am_i,

That person was a founding mod at r/antiwork

This is your field marshal you’re talking about.

where_am_i,

encouragement and additional advanced math education would go against your argument. E.g. more parents believe their kid is gifted and more of them push their kid or explore opportunities for the kid to get better education in the subject.

where_am_i,

Meh. I’d say we tie him to a post and burn the heretic.
