Re:Is the Music Business Collapsing?
on Saturday October 31, 2026 @11:38AM (#50317154)
I don't know what's my personal impact but since I discovered Finamp, I've been listening to my personal collection for a few months now and open spotify once a month instead of daily usage.
But I won't cut it because it's a family plan.
I also guess I'm getting older because I find music less interesting and less in phase with my taste and the Spotify algorithm is either bad in finding new stuff I like or always pushing the same 20 songs that I've listened too much.

On which criteria? Since Margaret Thatcher said she wanted her money back, and even more since Brexit, UK is geographically in Europe, just like Switzerland or Ukraine, but definitely hasn't the "European Mindset", UK is its own thing as they've always wanted to be.

It seems like there's no limit on that because you're more valuable to them as a potential product for their ad reselling business that whatever price you may bring not to be a product. I'm sure luxury companies would be interested to show you ad if the subscription was 2000$/month

Sometimes it all boils down to someone saying "what if" and trying something and seeing if it sticks. I guess the avian flu was a good excuse to hide the crime just like what happens in die hard 3 with the distractions of bomb in schools.
Re:The Public Pays to Produce Research. Shareholders Collect the Return
on Sunday October 18, 2026 @02:59PM (#50144154)
Yes, I go to school, then I get a job, then my taxes pay for the school for my neighbours kids, they get and job, their taxes pay for the school aso. But, this chain is broken if the ones benefitting from public services don't give anything in return to finance those public services. A billionaire that made their fortune did it with the help of public services but usually, they tend to try to pay the less taxes possible.

Re:Disney+ changes subscriber agreement to allow ads on every plan

A few days ago I watched a few music clips on YouTube to remind me of my MTV youth. There was an ad between every song, sometimes 60 seconds ad for pickup trucks or makeup, each promising happiness with their products. I felt like I was in this scene in idiocracy https://youtu.be/hj7c0J_V1L8. It's now clear that ads are legal brain malware.

The simulator doesn't have a camera. The android emulator allows to configure the camera and use a picture, it's very handy to test your qr/barcode reader without needing to use a physical device. Maybe this also allows to use an image as camera?
