So, all posts are from the perspective of people that are really into music. Enthusiasts that care deeply about individual albums and artists.

Whereas streaming services are most likely designed to cater to casual listeners like me. I can't remember the last time I listened to an entire album. I haven't liked any individual artist enough to attend a live concert. I generally listen to music while I'm doing stuff as background noise.

I used to listen to the radio for that. But streaming services algorithms were a strict upgrade to that due to lack of ads and talk show hosts.

Honestly, I don't know if I'll be able to determine whether a given piece of music is AI generated or not by listening to it.

So I don't think direct purchase of digital LPs could ever be viable for people like me. And I'm guessing (based on the success of streaming services) that there are a lot more people like me than there are enthusiasts. Yes, I can switch to the least bad streaming service according to Lemmy, out of solidarity (and no other reason). Remember 99% of people won't do that.

Just adding a perspective that might be missing from this community

Someone in our new partner team has scheduled a meeting for 11am today for us to introduce ourselves to each other.

Guess how it's going to be structured

Honestly, these days I use fdroid as my primary app store. It's been an amazing way to cut through the junk and find great apps.

I think it's a jab at Postman, which is essentially curl with a GUI.

I don't think he ever said it's his first time

Kudos to Spotify's design language for us being able to determine what app it is from just a generic error screenshot

Evolution doesn't care what happens to you after reproduction because you've already passed on your genes at that point

It's dead. The main dev announced they've ceased development and shut down the main instance.

Aw man, I love how you just said "extended cut". It took me a looooong time to realize it's a parody.

What a stupid, stupid reason to have to live through another Trump presidency and continue the war unchanged.

FTFY

False.

I work for Microsoft and I can assure you that any effort I make to increase code quality or reduce jank (or pretty much anything other than shoving more AI in our products) will not positively impact my bonus next year.

You could absolutely install software on Windows 3.5 that would crash the system.
