Makes sense, 24 hours to make a decision is plenty.

And of course women should be taking pregnancy tests daily just in case.

You would need to look at the terms of service with your provider.

Looking at your Spotify page you will be an artist who gets nothing in this new plan. You have 14 average monthly listeners right now - each song needs 1000 unique listeners per year to get any sort of payout.

You can’t just put your music on Spotify unfortunately. Google Play Music had the option to pay a small one-time fee to get your music up there, but they did away with that when they moved to YouTube Music.

If you’re unsigned you need to go through a service like TuneCore to get your music on any of the streaming services.

It makes it so that I know some of my listens are just going to line Spotify’s coffers. I have a number of bands I listen to who are under even 500 monthly listeners. Even if they’re only getting a couple cents, I know they’re at least getting something from my listens on Tidal.

Nobody talked about death metal so…

• Unleashed - Before the Creation of Time
• Grave - Plain Pine Box
• Monstrosity - Dark Matter Invocation
• Smothered - No One Left to Kill
• Krypts - Open the Crypt
• First Fragment - Pantheum
• Irreversible Mechanism - Footprints in the Sand
• Inanimate Existence - Staring Through Fire

No, they spun it that way by deceptively going on a rant about how many “songs get fewer than 1000 plays ever” and doing the math based on that in the “article,” but that’s not what the change actually was. If you read the details of the change below that, it is that they will no longer pay out at all for songs that get fewer than 1000 unique listeners per year.

You still aren’t talking a ton of money, but if each of 999 listeners streamed a song once per month, the artist could be losing close to $40 per song per year.

Not really, they set a “minimum threshold” of unique annual listeners to get a payout. If a song has at least 1000 unique listeners per year it gets the same payout it did before. If it gets 999 it gets zero.

Ounces become pounds, bro.

I think there are two big reasons…

• During the big Reddit exodus, a lot of people were recommending lemmy.world.
• It’s a general purpose instance. People tend to flock to those rather than more specific topical instances.

ChatGPT doesn’t learn like that though, does it? I thought it was “static” with its training data.

My oven doesn’t even run the top element in convection mode.

There is a difference between an air fryer and a convection oven. An air fryer has its heating element in the top with the fan so it is actively blowing hot air down on the food. It’s basically a convection broiler.

It’s probably a net savings over a digital artist creating images given the speed. Just powering your monitor for so much longer is going to take more power.

Basically anything but make it with frozen vegetables, and vacuum seal your meat and put it in the freezer?

He used an account in his brother’s name? How did they expect to get away with this? You need some degrees of separation here, c’mon.

So these children are driven to work due to poverty right? So isn’t the answer to try to address that rather than to say “stop using cocoa harvested by child labor?” Like I’m totally pro-non-child-labor-cocoa, but wouldn’t the kids just get other jobs then?

Since you’re talking about city travel, do you care about traffic? That has been my main issue with any alternatives.

• Osmand: solid overall, you do need to buy Osmand+ in the play store if you need Android Auto functionality though (the f-droid version does not work with AA). But no traffic data so you’ll get the best route if there was no traffic. Another quirk is that you need to download the region you’re navigating in - you can view maps online but can’t navigate without the downloaded maps. And downloads are large chunks - it is by country or state/province so you’re likely using a lot of storage that you don’t need.
• OrganicMaps: a cleaner interface than Osmand while using the same map data. No Android Auto support. It still needs to download maps but can auto download as you go and uses smaller chunks so you can download more locally.
• MapFactor: one of the early offline options on Android before Google Maps offered the option to download. It has traffic data but I’ve found routing to be mediocre. It’s also subscription based rather than a purchase.

Yes. This usage originated well before reddit. “Car porn”, “gun porn,” “disaster porn.”
