Squarespace to Go Private in $6.9B All-Cash Transaction with Permira (investors.squarespace.com)

Stockholders will receive $44.00 per share in cash, which represents a premium of 29% over the 90-day volume weighted average trading price of $34.09 Squarespace, Inc. (NYSE: SQSP ), the design-driven platform helping entrepreneurs build brands and businesses online, today announced that it has entered into a definitive...

There will likely be no benefit for the employees or the users. For the PE firm, the goal is usually to pump up the value and resell or reenter the market, at a massive profit, in a few years. To do that, they’ll have to make a lot of unpopular choices, such as layoffs and other cost cutting measures. If they’re privately held, those choices have far less impact on the value of the company, since the stock market is heavily swayed by public perception.

Sync. It seemed to have the closest feature set to RiF early on and I’ve just stuck with it since then. I try other apps occasionally. They all have their strengths but Sync feels the most polished.

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...

wrekone,

That’s what’s stopping me too. I’ve tried to convince them that Youtube Music (I’m a holdover from the Play Music days, RIP) is good enough but they won’t have it. I miss Songza.

wrekone,

I won’t lie, they pulled the wool over my eyes with Starfield. I kept waiting for that moment where they brought it all together and suddenly it would be a great game. I was shook when the credits rolled and I hadn’t yet found the fun part.

wrekone,

The vast majority of news will never directly impact my life. While I care a lot about people in general, I can’t spend my time worrying about everything. Leaving (major) social media was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

wrekone,

Even if this is true, and I’m not arguing that it isn’t, if you’ve committed a different crime with a worse punishment, you’ll have to take that into consideration.

wrekone,

A number of Android phones support most of this functionality. Unfortunately, you have to actually click on a “Lockdown mode” button after long pressing power+volume-up. Hopefully Google catches up here.

wrekone,

With further refinement and scaling, internet providers could ramp up standard speeds without overhauling current fiber optic infrastructures.

Don’t worry. They’ll find some way to use this to justify massive rate increases.

wrekone,

You can stream Xbox Cloud games in Edge on the Steamdeck. Works about as well as it does anywhere else.

wrekone,

I wish I had understood this years ago. I probably would have found a better place to work.

…micromanagement of advertising in today’s hyper-competitive marketplace…

WTF are they on about? Cable TV is the least competitive market out there. I’ve never lived anywhere with more than two options.

…El Salvador has decided to transfer a large chunk of its bitcoin holdings to a cold wallet and store it in a physical vault

What are we up to now, like Ocean’s 15 or something?

wrekone,

I see what rule did there

wrekone,

A lot of sites say they only support one specific MFA app. But in my experience, any MFA app that can read the QR code will work.

wrekone,

Is this an AI generated response?

wrekone,

It’s all fun and games until you step on a rivet in your bare feet.

wrekone,

George Monbiot is a fantastic writer.

wrekone, (edited )

The third season genuinely made me angry. Not that it wasn’t good. There were just so many unlikable characters that it was hard to watch sometimes.

wrekone,

Have you considered that your approach may contribute to your difficulties dealing with such people? The tone of your messages is extremely aggressive.

wrekone,

I do my best to set things up so that I don’t see any ads (running DNS66 for example). But if I had to see ads, I’d prefer them to be irrelevant. That way they’re easier to ignore. I don’t need to do any favors for the corporate giants trying to milk me for every penny.

wrekone,

This hits too close to home.

wrekone,

But… but… then how will they collect telemetry for targeted advertising?

wrekone,

We get so much chocolate at Halloween. I’m not a big candy guy (pastries for me, thank you), and I’m sure as hell not letting my kids have unrestricted access to caffeine and sugar. We almost always have some left when the next Halloween rolls around. If I have a piece in September it will likely have bloom on it.
