After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year (www.billboard.com)

When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...

Qobuz

MigratingtoLemmy,

Qobuz/Tidal/Deezer?

MigratingtoLemmy,

I wish they based it on Debian. It definitely earns my personal recommendation for default distros alongside LMDE

MigratingtoLemmy,

Wait, alternative to the fair phone in terms of software and reliability? Better performance than the Pine phones? Matching up to the Librems in quality?

If this comes true I’ll be the happiest ever

[dwl] hacking together a search engine on a work-in-progress rice :3 (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

This is a woefully underpowered laptop I got for free! I’m working to make it into a secure portable machine (since it does support secureboot & TPM-backed disk encryption) to take on the go that I don’t fear losing. This is mostly for doing programming & study, on stuff that doesn’t require high-performances, so the 2...

MigratingtoLemmy,

That’s a cool project but what’s that about the search engine?

MigratingtoLemmy,

Which country is this?

MigratingtoLemmy,

Are women forced to stay at home in China?

MigratingtoLemmy,

I’ll be waiting for it, thank you

MigratingtoLemmy,

Do you think it will help Haveno?

MigratingtoLemmy,

You should be using a seedbox to torrent in this age. Let the company run their business, if they don’t want to be a part of the group that allows torrents, so be it.

MigratingtoLemmy,

I love these guys. Let’s see if somebody can just bootstrap the FOSS framework directly on TCP to work on the internet without a VPN. Fantastic project

MigratingtoLemmy,

Wtf, why on earth would they do that? Thanks for pointing it out

MigratingtoLemmy,

Not having an opt-out toggle pisses me off

MigratingtoLemmy, (edited )

Not having an opt-out toggle should definitely be a cause of concern. Not everyone is running Debian just for the FOSS-only firmware, but there’s definitely a sizeable number of people doing so. Letting the user choose whether they want to install proprietary firmware or not is absolutely an important choice.

This is assuming there really isn’t an opt-out somewhere in the install menu.

Edit: it may be that I am running something without FOSS drivers for it. I happened to forget about it. So what? I’d rather it not run (unless it’s critical), and I definitely want to be prompted that a proprietary driver is recommended to run the specific device because no FOSS driver is available. Not doing so is taking away my choice in the matter, and if Debian is really doing that, then I will personally have to rethink my options, including my donations

MigratingtoLemmy,

Looks nice, will wait to see how it takes off

MigratingtoLemmy,

You mean you’re assuming that it will come with a backdoor in the hardware? Will that matter if the bootloader is FOSS?

MigratingtoLemmy,

Coreboot disables most of Intel ME on x86 except the parts required for essential functions. It certainty cripples external access to Intel ME.

I believe it is a fair assumption that for embedded architectures like ARM and RISC-V, a FOSS bootloader will likely deal with state-sponsored backdoors if they haven’t been infiltrated themselves. This does not take into account baseband attack vectors because I simply don’t know much about wireless, but I’d imagine someone working on these projects likely has their eye on the funny stuff the NSA is likely to try here. RISC-V is FOSS, the NSA cannot legally require anybody to include a backdoor into the architecture itself.

MigratingtoLemmy,

ASM - are you working with embedded electronics?

MigratingtoLemmy,

My goodness, thank you for this. I hope the project continues for a while!

MigratingtoLemmy,

Thank you for your hard work. I had come across your pervious post a while back; good to see it’s going well. Will try it, also looking forward to ARM support

MigratingtoLemmy,

Unfortunately, I’m not a programmer. If I had more free time I could possibly help with your hosting infrastructure, but that’s a no-go too at the moment. I’ll keep your requirements in mind though, if I do find someone

MigratingtoLemmy,

Dosage matters. Adults should be capable of making informed choices about something like this. We should be encouraging education, not banning it

MigratingtoLemmy,

Taking suckless a bit too seriously, are we?

MigratingtoLemmy,

Basic OPSEC practices like not switching on the burner in compromising circumstances should be default
