Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, again (www.engadget.com)

Spotify is officially raising its Premium subscription rates in the US come July, following reports of the move in April. The platform is increasing its Individual plan from $11 to $12 monthly and its Duo plan from $15 to $17 monthly — the same jump as last year’s $1 and $2 price hikes, respectively. However, its Family plan...

literally just get audio files of whatever you wanna listen to and plop it on funkwhale

I like Linux a lot and do want to have it as my OS, but most of the games are either painfully slow or just instantly crash upon loading. No game has ran better on linux than on windows, so I’m stuck unfortunately.

kworpy ,

Nobara was the only distro that could even boot up all of my games without crashing. Some ran at a noticeably slower but playable rate while others ran at like 30 less FPS. Lowering the graphics to PS1 level hardly helped, and I just gave up trying to get my games to run like normal on Linux.

First thing I immediately noticed was the rust

Those are fingerprints? Fuck is this thing made out of😭😭

I meant good because this enshittification might actually get people to try FOSS alternatives but ok

No jailtime will ever make up for that. This guy needs to receive the same torture he gave to these helpless animals until he dies.

It’s Apple, their entire business model is making their tech as restrictive as possible and stripping away as much freedom as they legally can. You can’t name a company more power-hungry.

Because it’s unimaginably slow on updates

If you use antivirus software you’re a dumbass. Just don’t download viruses?

kworpy ,

Can’t believe a company with a notorious history of spying on users is at it again for the 234th time!

kworpy ,

Please don’t tell me he’s walking free after this. This is just murder and he should be facing the minimum 25 years. Completely unforgivable and inexcusable.

It sure as fuck was. Half of the Nintendo community knows about this situation, and unless for some reason they still have respect for this evil company, they will now freely play whatever switch games they want without giving Nintendo a dime.

I’m sure most Nintendo “fans” aren’t a fan of the company itself, just the games

The fuck is a “trained” police officer?

It actually makes your life better!

Can’t enshittificate our torrent clients 🤷

I love hearing these stories of big gaming companies being shitty as usual, knowing I only play indie games and I’m not giving theme a dime

kworpy ,

It’s almost as if Microsoft doesn’t do that already!

kworpy ,

And these companies think piracy is unjustified. No, it’s just holding out an umbrella in the rain.

Tip: just don’t use Google products. Highly unreliable company.

People use their products for free (monetarily) for years and then bitch and complain when something gets shut down, never having paid a cent.

Just let companies keep doing shit like this. They’re only leading people down the path that is piracy.

I saw this on r/crackheadscraiglist for 75$ about a year or two ago.

Disney is gouging customers with a near doubling of subscription costs. (sh.itjust.works)

Disney is raking its customers over the coals with a 75% price hike for their annual subscription (originally $80.) People wonder why piracy is on the rise.Multiple commenters are saying I’m off base about the 75% price increase. My payment less than a year ago was $79.99. Here’s the proof.

kworpy ,

There’s no unjustification for piracy anymore. If you’re gonna charge me this much to use your shitty streaming services that I use once in a blue moon then don’t cry when I instead download an mp4.

Use LibRedirect too, really helpful tool that I wish I had discovered sooner.

Chaotic neutral, except I don’t tuck it

I just love watching everyone freak out about Spotify’s shitty business practices while I’m casually looping YouTube videos with an adblocker.

kworpy ,

For me it’s quite strange. This first happened around 2 weeks ago, I was getting ads, however only the audio works as when the ad plays the screen is black.

I’m on Firefox with uBlock. Also I never got this popup, I just started getting ads with a black screen.

I’ve seen several people with usernames that aren’t actual words, and I thought they were pretty cool so I decided to follow along and come up with a cool non-word name myself. Forgot how I came up with “kworpy”

At this point these services are asking us to pirate. We aren’t getting our money from trees.

The fuck is this meant to do? Will Elon ever realize that he’s not improving Twitter in any way and is only making it worse?

“Fellow pirates” that’s the most suspicious ass thing you could possibly say here
