Twitter turning into Truth Social?

YouTube and Spotify are paying license fees to be allowed to play music on their platform.

Yeah, that’s certainly true.

It’s pretty incredible what we know about history, just from guessing by what we find and second guessing the first guess with more findings.

Or how we know pretty much all steps how the language evolved from Latin, thousands of years ago, to Italian, which is spoken today.

What I despise is when things are quite clear and politics just act like we would not know. Like how „brain drain“ is still a valid talking point while science already knows it’s false.

When the ones rule that can instill the most fear, the outlook is grim 🫣

If it were such a wide spread issue, then science would not achieve the results it does. It lives from people checking other people’s work and arguing about the results.

Do backups. Don’t forget to test if recovery works as expected.

Sounds illegal. Maybe in countries with weak consumer rights.

You most likely did not officially consent to the changes and have a prolonged right to terminate the contract without the need of upholding the contract duration.

It’s probably mich cheaper just to deal with the few that complain rather than sending out hundreds of thousands of paper letters or having them confirm the changes electronically and terminating the contracts of those who did not accept.

Isn’t paying for subscriptions exactly the zeitgeist? People pay for Netflix, instead of just recording stuff for free and sharing copies among friends and family. It’s convenience you pay for (if we keep Netflix originals out of scope)

This printer was paid for by my employer in 2017. I would have never spent 250€ on a printer. And I often did not use it because it had run out of ink and I was too lazy or occupied to take the 5 minutes to order it. So now this is taken care of.

It is also the best printer I have ever had and the longest living. But it is also the first one that cost more than 50€ so the reason might lie there.

So… you have the full game encoded in an NFT? That sounds like a shit ton of overhead.

I actually like my printing subscription. I pay like 5€ a month (I don’t quite remember) and don’t have to think about buying new ink, Monitoring the status of my ink level, or facing the issue that I suddenly ran out of ink and can’t print.

That’s what I pay for. I probably pay more than before, but 5€ a month is really negligible. It’s less then one Starbucks coffee.
