red,

Bought one last summer, and it’s just damn great 👌

red,

Volvo started with the cheap EX30, so this is a logical thing. Most other car makers started with luxury cars and are trying to get cheap ones out.

red,

Well considering current EV pricing, that’s what it is, in relation to other cars.

I agree that we need more 20-25k€ models on the market.

I settled on a 57k€ model because at the point where I adopted, there was less good choices around.

red,

PC + PS release is otdinary for them.

red,

You’re right, I was confusing it with games that were launched on many platforms on day one, but HD2 is indeed the first Sony Exclusive to do so, and I’ve now read that that’s going to be their new tactic going forward.

red,

On the other hand, I’m glad these are the issues we’re combatting against, instead of a corrupt bipartisan government.

red,

It is. But if your input is the equivalent of vocal diarrhea, I’m not sure why you are surprised that people find it smells like shit.

red,

No, what you said is objectively bullshit.

red,

I mean, we read code more than we write it. You just vomitted over something that increases readability. Maybe a time for a rethink?

red,

Do you also get surprised when you backspace a tab and suddenly it removes more whitespace than 1 characters worth?

Or did you learn it fast and really never think about it?

I think it’s more a “getting used to” thing, that once learned, you don’t think about, but it makes things more readable.

red,

Studies show that ligatures improve readability, but I acknowledge that it’s likely untrue for outliers.

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...

red,

I mean, Spotify is a great service for the consumer. One reasonable monthly fee for most of the music in the world.

If a similar video streaming service existed for 40€/month, I’d pay for it in a heartbeat. Now I have a plethora of arr apps and a vpn, and Plex. But it’s a hassle sometimes.

We’re all aware of the issues it created for the artists, and I’d be willing to double the fee if that money directly went to the artists, but this is where the capitalist model fails, as that won’t maximize the profits for shareholders.

If we ever come up with a way to fix the underlying greed models that come with publicly traded companies, that would be great.

As it stands, it is what it is, but I’m glad we have this, instead of a “different Spotify per music publisher”.

red,

None of these have good app support compared to Spotify, sadly. Not supported by my car, nor my Linux desktop, or home speakers.

Oh and Deezer pays even less to artists than Spotify.

red,

Not sure about the ads? If you mean when the app notifies you about live gigs etc. then yeah, that’s shittification. Luckily it doesn’t happen on my desk or car, but I wish it didn’t sometimes appear on my phone. That’s the one thing that might push me to add music to my video streaming arr stack.

red,

Not sure what the relevance of this comment was, considering what I said

red,

You’d be correct

red,

I’m not familiar with the free tier, but if you don’t pay anything, I think ads are fine.

Paying and seeing ads is wrong on the other hand.

red,

I was referring to the sharding that happened with video streaming services. It used to be Netflix had mostly everything, in the start, similar to Spotify. Now there are services per publisher that contain their own catalogues.

Fuck. That.

red,

Spotify isn’t the only service currently.

Like I said in my op: it’s good service for the consumer. It might not be if enshittification ensues.

But compared to video streaming, it’s awesome.

The issue isn’t the service model, but the capitalistic shit behind it, that attempts to maximize profits instead of paying artists fairly.

red,

Especially when the Studio wasn’t behind it, but the Publisher.

red,

You are confusing what the game calls Democracy to what it actually is.

red,

I think there’s a difference between distributed and decentralised. But apart from that 👍

red,

Polestar has already equipped vehicles with this tech.

red,

The PS5, and yeah still unreleased, but already driving prototypes out in the wild. They are using the companys tech mentioned in the article and hopefully we’ll see widespread adoption after testing.

I’m usually sceptic, but for once these new battery inventions are actually already implemented, and not just on paper or in a lab.
