Might be the push for me to go to YT music, which I already pay for with YT premium, but I’ve never wanted to use it. But now that Spotify is giving me a reason I might just switch.
Funny you mention that. I just got an email last week that my youtube music price was going up to $16.99/month. I’ve used it since the days of google play, before it joined with youtube and it was like $9.99 (mostly out of a dislike for spotify). But it isn’t the best service tbh, what with low-quality audio and a buggy app interface. So I was finally motivated to make the switch to Tidal this week. Loving it so far… hope they don’t follow suit and up their sub price like the others (knock on wood).
FWIW, the email I got from youtube said something about being able to sign up for a cheaper rate if I nuked my account and made a new one on youtube through a web browser. Not sure why that would make a difference, but I was too over it to even bother.
I am actually debating canceling my yt premium sub over it and im going to twitch turbo, I have been progressively using yt less and less anyway and to be honest, the new price point (which was 13.99 for me) is not worth the benefits it provides. mobile queuing can be used via playlist or watch later, adverts are annoying but avoidable with new found apps approaching. Downloading for offline use is a joke, it barely has ever worked for me. Picture in Picture mode is buggy and for the most part I don’t use it. This combined with the absolute crap recommendation system they have had the last few years(like seriously its all either stuff in my watch history or stuff that is unrelated to anything I watch). I’m sure they are just following every other company but, it might just push me off lol
Also to clarify your nuking account thing. I expect you signed up via either apple subscriptions or google play subs, both of which take a chunk out of the money given. So that might be what is going on with the price diff.
I’ve seen a lot of great stuff on Mastodon but when it starts to become overwhelmingly political, I dip out. Problem is that you have to follow an abrasive amount of random people to start seeing anything across their fediverse. Shit in the beginning, awesome/hits the mark at least in terms of twitter replacement - after you follow enough people.
You're right, I do need to build up my watch list. I'm just not sure where to start. I'll probably have to parasitize the watch lists of the few people I'm already watching.
Hashtags are also a good place to start! For example, if you’re looking for science content you can follow the #science hashtag. Once you have those posts coming in to your feed, start following the people and hashtags you’re seeing on the posts you like best. It’ll start snowballing from there.
Also, don’t worry too much about following too much at first. Get that feed populated, then pare it down later. Filtering is pretty powerful too, so a lot of times you can get the good parts of a hashtag and filter out the bad parts instead of the all-or-nothing following of some social media.
Reading that article, Musk was doing a half ass press conference while playing Diablo 4...
I remember when Eldan Ring came out, he posted his build and someone did the math to figure out it would take at least 10 -12 hours per day of playing in order to get that shitty build...
There's nothing wrong with binge gaming... I just wish he would shut up and truly binge.
Sam Bankman-Fried also did the whole "play games while in a meeting" bullshit. For some reason, people thought he was also a genius instead of a bargain rate con-man. There are parallels...
His fans trying to compare it to Google creating Alphabet Inc. while they use the #thinkdifferently tag. I don't know whether to laugh at their repeated stupidity or feel sorry for them. Wait until they hear about X, the Google R&D subsidiary.
The US may not back them, but it certainly doesn’t condemn them either. This is the tightrope that has been walked between the nuclear-armed parties of interest since the beginning of the conflict.
Probably in different industries. I saw the MS patent is for game related stuff. I would assume metas is for social media stuff, or some other field they’re involved in.
Trademark, not patent. I wouldn’t normally correct you but there seems to be a whole lot of misunderstanding in this thread about the categories of intellectual property.
Idunno about you, but I’m going to continue calling it twitter whenever I derisively refer to it or think of it at all. If only because it would make the manbaby angry/sad.
