This is actually really popular among my music students. I completely disagree on most case. X raped 300 kids but hey, he makes pretty good beats so let’s pay 200$ for a concert.
The fact is Spotify and Youtube music are the two worse streaming service. They give less to artists, the pool system only benefits artists that are signed to majors, and on top of that they give 100 effing millions to stupid Joe Rogan. You are paying money to Joe, not artists.
If you need a streaming service, Tidal is the only ok option. Same price but 3x more for artist. But the best thing you can do is: buy album from bandcamp (90% to the artists), go to shows, buy merch, contribute directly to the artists in any way.
I’m actually teaching in a college to young musicians, who all want to live of their music but pretty much none of them has ever even bought an album. I don’t think I’ve ever convinced a single one to switch to Tidal.
New here. Migrated from Reddit. Still trying to figure out Lemmy - what’s everyone’s experiences like coming from Reddit and does Lemmy serve as a good alternative? Pros and cons/differences?...
They’re definitely not perfect but in my one year experience on Linux+2080ti, it’s totally usable. The Linux community seems to enjoy those overblown drama, at this point the Nvidia thing is basically a meme, pretty funny to watch.
You ok? Still thinking about this? Lol, I actually think Nvdia sucks big time! I get my GPUs for free that’s why I use Nvidia. I wouldn’t give them money, unlike you. Stop crying and get an AMD maybe?
There you go! Now look at you, all grown up and ready to not care too much about unimportant stuff. Good luck now! Enjoy your computer and remember, you can be nice to people you disagree with, it’s really possible.
Wasn’t Alex Jones caught watching trans porn or something? Between this and that, you can wonder if there’s anything real in these people’s life. Must be hard to always pretend.
I dont know if this has been asked before or if this may be a little goofy of a question but I didn’t see anything relating to it and I’m kinda curious what the culture of Lemmy is like and what sort of common things people see. ive been paying attention to interactions but nothing is as good as just asking everyone.
2 weeks ago, I suscribed to a pre-installed Nextcloud service. IT IS SO WORTH IT!!! It’s much more that what I was expeting. Data storgage of course, but tons of super usefull apps. Deck to replace Trello, News for rss feeds, Only Office for an online suite, Memories for picture, a very usefull media player, and much more. In the age of AI, I’m never again storing anything on Google or MS storage. We nees to take the internet back, fuck the GAFAM.
This kid was raised to believe flexing a gun is cool. The society he grew up in is broken. When I was is age, I wouldn’t had been able to do this because I didn’t had access to gun, easy fix.

I know it doesnt fix toxicity but it has the potential to bring solutions. Users dont have any power over Reddit’s management decision, they made sure to remind us last year. But wity Lemmy, we can always change the rule, experiment with new systems, etc. That’s a huge difference.
I want to see if I can get a spark of the “old internet” back by making a starting page for myself with all kinds of cool websites. But not sure where to start because Google obviously will not work for this....
When the creator of Monkey Island tells you Fuck You, you definitely messed out something in your life. Shame on you Elon Musk for disappointing Ron Glibert.
I feel like a power user would have a clean and clear bookmark game, not thousand of tabs… How the hell do you even navigate into this mess? I’ve just re-organise my bookmarks and folders, imported them in nextcloud, and I feel like I’m the master of the internet.
What's your most unpopular opinion about music ?
For me : Trippie Redd’s “!” Is actually a great album
Is Lemmy a good alternative?

Lemmy is a worse platform for women than Reddit was
