I dont think its a huge leap to think artists would rather you be able to buy their music once and make a $ instead of stream it from a sevice that pays them next to nothing.

Well if you genuinely care about seeing artists get paid the ones who need it most tend to make their conent available already for free on bandcamp or similar services, and have physical albums and merch you can buy.

Last night i spent $10 on 3 albums on bandcamp, those artists each made more on that single purchase then they would from thousands of streams.

Spotify making less (or more) money does not trickle down to artists on a per stream basis.

Dont be a corporate bootlicker. Say it with me now, "If buying isnt owning Piracy is not stealing. "

Its mostly Sony, UMG, and all the other leeches who would get paid less for their share holders.

I dont feel like editing the image but imagine the guy with most of the cookies in this picture was UMG and the artists are the guy on the right.

Youre right, i phrased that wrong,… Theyre not offsetting the consumers price, they are increasing their corporate profits.

The purpose of this story is not to be pro disability or supporting schizophrenic visibility, the purpose of this made up story is to hate on smart devices and how they shove ads into everything. I agree with the sentiment of hating ads, i disagree with exploiting a disability by making up a fake story to make that point.

Im not saying if this did happen its okay, im saying this is a made up story with no proof and several indicators that its made up in the actual source.

If someone has a serious mental illness that can be triggered by screens showing ads i would hope they have a living situation that avoids having such things around, especially if they live alone, or if they dont live alone then they could just ask the person they live with about it.

Which is why its probably unlikely such a person or the people they live wirh would even choose to own a smart fridge in the first place, making the scenario even further unlikely.

Yep exactly, these kid of adware devices almost never have an opt out for ads entirely because the ads offset the price of the item.

No, i just dont think samsung gave an option to opt out of ads perioid.

Maybe they could opt out of personalized ads, but even so this is clearly the same ad thats running all over the place in public spaces too.

So they missed the apple tv logo, from the creators of breaking bad, new series, and the fact that the fridge shows countless other ads. They also almost certainly they clicked “i agree” to terms that included targeted ads.

Either the schizophrenic is not familiar with the very concept of ads or this story is completely fake.

Edit: I didnt mean this to sound dismissive of schizophrenia, I just thought it was super obvious the story was fake. The purpose of this story is not to be pro disability or supporting schizophrenic visibility, the purpose of this made up story is to hate on smart devices and how they shove ads into everything. I agree with the sentiment of hating ads, but I disagree with exploiting a disability by making up a fake story to make that point.

I dont find needing to knowing how to use the most common way of setting up servicss is gate keepy.

If you dont want to learn things then it probably is better to just pay someone else to handle the setup i dont think there is anything wrong with doing it that way either.

You can use a service like duckdns.org for free to get a (sub)domain that can be used with funkwhale.

Richmond-Upon-Thames Council has now said said it had cancelled the fine as it was “likely” that Ms Yesilyurt’s appeal would have been successful.

Sounds like everyone involved knows this is a stupid law.

They actually did at one point launch VPNHub but its no longer active.

By that logic, I could decide that movie studios have to opt out of me watching their movies for free, and if they don’t then it’s legal for me to pirate them. See how insane that sounds?

That sounds perfectly fine to me. This is now the official policy of all the serviced provided by gravitywell.xyz

I bet people who know exactly who and what GWAR is, decided to do this as a promotion for GWAR, its just way too obvious. GWAR has been on fox news, its well known they do this, and the fact that the outrage was over musk and not trump goes to show whoever started it knew there would be a response pointing out they’ve done it to ALL the former presidents. It just seems so unlikely that anyone would see a gwar show and think “if only more people saw* this, they’d be canceled”, there’s just no way.

They’ve been killing musk since at least may of this year so even that isn’t new. Honestly after this I kind of hope they do make one of Charlie Kirk just to keep the rage going, but honestly I don’t think kirk was that well known until after he lost his last debate.

Funkwhale is the best option for replacing Spotify. It can be private or public and federated so you can follow users who want to share their playlists and such.

Navidrome is another good option although i don’t use it personally I hear nothing but good things.

Avoid subsonic directly but youll find funkwhale and other services support it as a protocol very well. Its just the subsonic server software itself and all of the forks seem to basically just be reinventing the same wheel over and over so they can charge for “premium” features.

Yeah but really does that even matter when the top results are just ads anyway? The problem is advertising has taken over search engines and now AI makes it even less likely people “searching” for things will even bother to click off of the search website.

DMCA takedown abuse isn’t anything new, this article seems like it was just due to 404 media having to deal with it, onlyfans is tangentially related and clearly just used in the headline for clickbait purposes… I really expected better of 404 media, The issue is a valid and increasingly worse one, it shouldnt need a clickbait headline. “DMCA Automation is ruining the internet” or something to that effect would have been a lot better.

This whole thing is also a scam on content creators, people arent pirating content by searching for it on google, they’re finding out about websites by talking to people on discord (which itself is not searchable of course) and other such services. Anyone paying for these kind of takedown services is getting taken for a ride.

Oh interesting! Thank you.

Well it cant be that good becauase it thinks im a bot.

Anubis works pretty well for me so far in blocking clankers.

After a bunch of free advertising, what a shocker!
