I can’t believe I’m on the music industry’s side on this. It’s a sad day when I have to root for the team that’s made it hard for me to make a living while they fight against the team that’s trying to make me obsolete.

That 15 yr old cracked CS5 I have on an old hard drive is looking mighty scrumptious right now.
The sheer amount of accounts I don’t follow and/or adds I DO see already do this for me. It’s a nice “feature” they added for me. Way to go Meta. I get bored fast now and close the app.
Came here to say this. Thank you for beating me to it.
Seems like you’re hearing it perfectly, but not listening.
The convenience you required is now mandatory.
I do this too, thankfully I work from home. No has to listen to me but my cat.
Well, I can’t take them with me…
As a musician who has been following this closely for a while, it keeps getting worse and worse. Musicians of my status have less and less opportunities to make a living off of our art in a world that is becoming increasingly easier to produce and distribute in. I’ve done this a long time and have had moderate success in the past. It’s to the point now though that the ways I THOUGHT musicians made money was never available to me, and the way we DID make money when I started almost doesn’t exist anymore either.
Ummm it’s hard to do without giving up a wonderful 9-book, 7 or 8 novella plot, but I’ll do my best. It’s ultimately a space opera, but the ideas explored are well thought out and intriguing. I don’t think it really gets as deep into what you’re looking for as you’d like but it’s still a wonderful book series.
Future humans, in our solar system, lots of political intrigue between the powers of the UN (all of earth), the Martian Congressional Republic, and the Outer Planets Alliance (people of the asteroid belt, less of a govt, more of a political movement). Someone finds what might be alien life or alien technology (possibly sitting for a billion years in outlets solar system), and the rest is what happens to humans in the wake of that.
The tech itself gets into possible collective consciousness, planet-sized carbon crystal data storage and quantum entanglement. Along with things like worm hole technology and heavily bending (but not really breaking) the laws of physics.
It’s all written with VERY sound scientific thought behind every little nuance of the story and all the tech involved.
It’s not the hardest of sci-fi and ultimately there’s isn’t a ton in the narrative specifically about this, but there’s some really interesting stuff in The Expanse series (book, not show) that touches on this kind of thing.
It does, but I’ve seen these and they are nice but not what I’m looking for. Thanks either way!
I don’t, of course. “Sir, this is a meme”
Weirdly, I am days fresh from a vasectomy.
not even close to the limit on my desktop. let’s keep it going
I’m really glad this is being done, I just hope that it has teeth. It’s going to be very annoying when the next regime from across the aisle tries to repeal the rules again. I assume there’s not an easy way to make these rules permanent. I’m happy to be wrong about that though.
Got my first two Hydroflasks (32oz and 20oz) in 2014 I would guess? Still have both and use one of them every day.
KGB gonna KGB
No, i think hard working artists like me put them there, and pay for the ability to do so. I’m not saying people that work at Spotify don’t deserve a paycheck, i’m saying the artists need a larger one.
I see you missed my point.
