they “extract” wealth on the back of shared investments like infrastructure and now our data/IP with AI

it’s not the same as your examples but i’m not sure that it needs to be exactly the same

yeah but how much are employers spending to lobby, etc, and is that not a significant force-multiplier on their 1.5B direct spend against unions?
theres also one about pennywise, pound foolish
worth a try

yes i deleted facebook eventually because they would not stop showing me this stuff despite clicking “show me less” many times

Re:What are the most common tinnitus frequencies? (2015) on Tuesday April 11, 2023 @08:41PM (#35533672)
I can relate to the last bit; I sometimes have (or notice) tinnitus when going to bed. I try to think about what frequency it is exactly and it seems like the direction attention to it causes it to go away (or at least get much more quiet)

thats not a great argument because often the master for a vinyl record is different (crucially, less hyped and compressed) to even be cuttable on vinyl. thus the final product actually can sound better in some cases (not all), not directly because of the vinyl playback but the production processes leading up to that.
Re:The Coffeeshop Fallacy on Saturday March 11, 2023 @10:21AM (#35108960)
if it’s a nice spot and good coffe, I would happily pay $4-5 for a cup of coffee. most of the other times i’ll make it at home to offset
that price difference is being externalized somehow, so, if it's possible (and of course it's not for everyone) it's best to just pay the higher price imo. it's better for society and the neighborhood

from personal experience... i would be careful with that idea. at least in NYC anything that seems like it surely cant cost more than 100k will cost you 250

Re:New macOS Dropbox client moves files from ~/ to ~/Library on Saturday February 04, 2023 @01:12PM (#34656609)
I record audio at my studio into a dropbox folder on an external drive. I paid for a business plan (and the required 3 seats, only using one) so I could have unlimited storage.

This drive is always syncing to the cloud.

I go home (or travel) and can selectively sync specific projects, which still viewing the entire tree and keeping everything organized.

Neither internal drive is large enough to hold the files.

This workflow is so perfect Ive built my entire creative process around it. It’s completely broken by this change.

I’ve been a huge proponent of Dropbox and pay them over 1k a year as an individual just for this functionality.

As far as I can tell, there is no alternative.
