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.

Kelly?

Honestly if you’re curious and have a few mins just check out meet the grahams where he goes into it. For context Adonis is Drake’s son. Then listen to Not Like Us if you want to hear the iconic line people will be singing along to.

Beef aside these tracks are art.

I’ve always seen it classed as a more of a dissociative. If it were actually in the same class as shrooms and LSD then I’d have tried it by now.

can ,

At least people are catching on

can ,

That’s not a lemmy.world link

can ,

Right, so it’s a Lemmy thing, not a Lemmy world thing,

can ,

I feel like you’re missing the point. Maybe I wasn’t clear. Yes, Lemmy World does use it, however it’s a feature of Lemmy itself, not just of Lemmy World. Lemmy World is just one instance of Lemmy and they all use the same markup.

My point is calling it the Lemmy.World markup is inaccurate and potentially misleading. Lemmy is more than just Lemmy.World.

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 ,

Why are you this way?

Just why?

can ,

So there’s no room for improvement then? Because I really don’t think it’s as accessible as other nations and your ability to heal shouldn’t depend on your job.

Damn, that sounds nice. Medication is one area where we still get fucked in Canada.

It is cute but it doesn’t make sense for the world we’re in. I think it’d make a cool prop for a show/movie from a alternative timeline or something.

Can confirm lol

Police make arrests in killing of B.C. [Canada] Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar (www.cbc.ca)

Canadian police have arrested members of an alleged hit squad investigators believe was tasked by the government of India with killing prominent Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Surrey, B.C. last June, CBC News has learned....

No one’s obligated to become a cop.

Its not that big of a deal

I was trying to think of what the impactful differences between IRC and Matrix are (it’s been a while).

“While being as open as IRC, Matrix provides a user experience which is similar to Slack or Discord to some extent. It’s modern, it’s persistent, and […] it’s actually less confusing to newcomers than an extremely simple application like Jargonaut.”

Persistancy! It’s funny how that completely slipped my mind. The expectation from a chat room app has changed a lot since I last regularly used IRC and I guess I forgot what it used to be like.

Oh dammit yes, thank you.

The US is starting to sound made up

can ,

Yes, but the more I live and hear things about the states it starts to sound like satire or as if it’s a joke to see what other people will believe.

can ,

If only that were true for everyone.

can ,

I’d love to invite you up north but we need to get some housing first.

can ,

But this has begun sounding like made up details, like someone heard how we feel and they decided to play into those concerns to see how much we’d believe before calling them out.

can ,

As long as the leeches are still there then we really don’t.

can ,

This is probably not the point you intended, but I basically read that as Conservatives are against growth, personal or otherwise.

Which is just sad. That sounds like an unrewarding life. I doubt they want my pity but they kind of already have it when I look past the hatred and think about how they’ve been swindled.

Besides lemmy, what's another good reddit alternative?

Hi! Recently exiled reddit user, here. I’m curious what other alternatives to reddit there are, besides Lemmy, and Raddle, of course. Also, imho, Phuks is a good alternative, there’s no hate-speech (that I’m aware of) and people are pretty respectful. Anyways, let’s hear your suggestions! Thank you!

can ,

It’s like Mastadon (but better) and very popular in Japan. Firefish is fork of it.

can ,

Together with Firefish developer Namekuji, Panos Damelos have started the Catodon project, a fork of Firefish. In the announcement blog post Catodon dives deeper into what makes the project stand out, noting the community driven aspect of the project. Catodon joins IceShrimp and Sharkey as recent Misskey fork projects that are all gaining popularity as small-scale fediverse servers.

What a world.
