I would be against a Gaza genocide

You know what I meant, don’t deliberately misunderstand.

That pays exactly $0 per stream to the artists.

Daniel Ek is investing in European defense companies. This is not unethical.

Spotify paying like shit to their artists and platforming Joe Rogan are totally valid reasons to move away though. But the thing is that Spotify is sort of like radio. How much did radio pay for artists for each time the song was played? Genuinely asking.

What I do is I do 90% of my listening on Spotify. Then when I hear something really good, I buy and download their album, usually on Bandcamp and mostly keep listening them on Spotify because it’s just so much lesser hassle. Seems like the best of both worlds. Thought about going to vinyls but I’m not hipster enough.

Um, why did USA pay anything to Afghanistan after they forcibly ejected everyone from the country? That happened in 2020-2021, and the payments just continuned?

So you actually needed Donald Trump to end that waste? What in the fuck?

Matrix seems to work well. I’m on a smallish non-profit server. I regard it as the premium open-source step forward from IRC.

The worst problem is that there are really no channels that I care to follow.

Sorry, I had posted an MSN link rot link. Now updated to the original Reuters article. I should probably actually find an archival link to bypass Reuters paywall rot :-|

Thank you, I updated the URL. Unfortunately the original article is behind a paywall.

Life expectancy in Gaza strip is 75.7 years. That’s about 5 years above the world average.

That probably requires the kind of resources Nepal doesn’t have

For context, Pedro Sánchez is also the Secretary General of the center-left Partido Socialista Obrero Español party. So it is not shocking that he is pro-Palestine: to my knowledge all left-of-center parties in EU are.

For the same reason it’s difficult to turn people away from communism. Phlegmatic ignorance.

Ah ok. Well, the decent alternative to all that is Tesla.

How do you manipulate Bluesky?

The same way you manipulate Twitter, by tweaking the algorithm.

So does GrapheneOS apparently, as long as we’re talking about Androids.

What does Android Auto do?

How do you algorithmically manipulate those 12M people with Mastodon? BTW, Bluesky has almost 40M users.

Good reviews. Unfortunately the device is 18x10x4mm larger than my already gigantic Pixel 9

1 - tap to pay. I don’t see how this can practically be done. Like, at all.

Yeah, better go back to carrying pieces of plastic with you at all times. Bonus: you can leave your phone home and still pay for things.
