You argue with everyone here who is disagreeing though? Who is being less tolerant here really?

can ,

I haven't been paying attention. What made a "golden upvote" significantly different than gold?

can ,

Don't they have a point though? Your system is broken and the lesser of two evils is all you ever get to pick.

can ,

Lemmy is not a monolith. Sign up somewhere else or make your own communities.

But you jumping to "comments are terrorism now" leads me to believe your experiences may not be so one sided.

can ,

It's not so cut and dry with Lemmy either. Admins can still view it (though not as easily).

I learned about them from* a print out at my library while using their computers (that I booked in hour increments).

can ,

That was only in the "am I the asshole" sub which was a trash fire you were wise to avoid.

We can go deeper.

can OP ,

It's easier to contract out to existing gangs apparently.

can OP ,

If they were rational they wouldn't have done it

can OP ,

Even if he was (not saying he was) that doesn't give a foreign nation the right to covertly kill a citizen here. If they had a solid argument that he was a terrorist then surely there would have been more official methods of dealing with it.

can OP ,

Point stands

can OP ,

Yes, it's strange and disappointing but it's not a claim to take lightly and the fact that it was made makes me inclined to believe.

The edit would be part of the RCS layer I assume same way read receipts and typing indicators work.

However, blocked contacts will still be able to see your messages in a group chat, which is sort of strange, but that’s how it works for now.

Is that strange? Couldn't there be a benefit of not letting them know you blocked them?

EVs are a good next step but they still use tires that break down leaving microplastics in the environment and a study showed they may even leave more.,

My car doesn't support android auto but I would really miss nfc payments at this point.

or as I've recently taken to calling it

How can I explain this to my partner?

But then apparently I'm overexplaining and repeating myself...

After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year ( www.billboard.com )

When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...

the largest music licensing platform in the world

Doesn't sound too good to me. Bandcamp used to be where I could get music from smaller artists who couldn't afford clearing samples (as they weren't making money) and I worry a lot of that will be lost.

can ,

Well better than Spotify is a real low bar. I'm on an apple music family plan and I like it but if I weren't I'd probably get tidal. And they actually dropped the price of their high quality tier.

can ,

That's another big one to me too. I opened Spotify recently and you can plainly see the music is no longer the focus.

can ,

Here's a link with more info

Tidal will no longer keep its high-res, lossless and spatial audio content locked behind a £20/$20-per-month “HiFi Plus” subscription. Instead, it is now moved into a single individual user plan, costing a lower-cost, Spotify-matching £11/$11 per month.

Previously, users paid that price for CD-quality FLAC files, but needed to opt for the pricier plan to unlock 24-bit/192kHz tracks and Dolby Atmos content.

That's now all changed as of 10th April, which saw the new £11/$11 per month plan implemented.

And specifically to your point

This price drop only puts further pressure on Spotify to improve the quality of its catalogue, which is currently capped at 320kbps in its Premium tier, and has no native support for spatial audio tracks.

That alone should be enough to get people considering other options. I'm sure there's more beyond the big three too.

can ,

How much do they really care? I'm not usually a quality snob, especially since I frequently use gear of varying quality making it moot, but wouldn't most people who are really into music at least consider the competition that offers higher quality files at similar if not the same price?

Or are they the type to only have local FLAC with their DAC? Because I like my collection but streaming is still worth the convenience for jumping into a new album.

can ,

That's how it always begins.

But on a more positive note, care to share the label or more about your experience about it? With regards to Bandcamp and more generally.

can ,

Believe I've gone down a similar path. I agree, but I assumed the layman dedicated music fan would at least be curious.

And on another note we need more discussion music and audio production around Lemmy.

can ,

Everyone on Lemmy and the fediverse as a whole should be aware of this pattern. I just hope something can fill in before it gets too bad.

I'm keeping an eye on Faircamp.

There'd a lot to unpack here

They pay the artist more. And I like how they handle interacting with collaborative works.

can ,

That's true. I still use Bandcamp. But as someone who listens to a lot of rap when I'm on a track and "view artist" I appreciate Tidal allowing me to choose which artist. Apple music defaults to the firs listed artist.

can ,

and I've been arguing with people that take any slight ambiguity from me as ammo to attack me with,

I'm sorry if I made you feel that way. For the future anything hosted at join-lemmy.org would be part of the Lemmy software itself.

can ,

That markup formatting for spoilers isn't even supported by Lemmy.

Its literally jus holdover from Reddit's way of doing it.

can ,

Glad I could help. What issues are you experiencing?

can ,

Any progress being made here? I was really hoping that not being able to view certain communities such as !newbrunswick would be considering bad enough of a bug to bring a little development back.

can ,

Hey! Good to hear from you. Hope you took some good time for yourself. I appreciate the progress update on the merkdown.
