I’ve had some decent times with inoreader.

Yeah, it was a joke. I know.

Yeah, there’s a missing comma.

Don’t, be evil.

There. Fixed it.

Hianime

This is exactly what he means.

Next up the sanctioned daily hate.

Yes, that town square needs to be happy. That’s a happy democracy!

Mate, the bunting looks awfully like swastikas…

But happy, less negative swastikas, right?

Sure.

What an unserious human Musk is.

On so cooked thag I just spent ages looking at the word “feild”.

Weird little guy.

Yeah, I suppose, in a closed system that might he true.

But this isnt a closed system.

Bandcamp, for example is rife with wonderful small scale artists. There are local music scenes. There are loads of ways of choosing to stream music.

The thing is that people choose to listen to Spotify despite this. And that is a choice.

We have to be careful when talking about things when we start suggesting that people are not smart enough, or motivated enough to know what they want.

Demand is not generated here, but fulfilled. People just want background music. The properties of that music, and its artistic integrity, isnt a factor in that decision, so it is a demand based upon other properties… Brand recognition, user experience and ubiquity.

Again, I’m not defending this, and it isnt something that appeals to me, but it is easier to understand how these revelations will probably not make much of an impact of spotifys business model.

Sure, but can you explain what you mean by that in this context?

Devils advocate moment… If people keep listening (or sort of listening) and they are OK with music that seems to lack any soul, is it not just giving the audience what they want and deserve?

Devils concierge moment… What a bunch of shitbags.

The side stories were mostly absent and not interesting at all.

Then

I did the story for Far Cry 6 and some of the side stuff in about 12 hours, then uninstalled the game

Come on pal, I don’t disagree, it felt the weakest of the series… But this feels like you wanted to dislike the game before even playing it. Plus, you can’t really criticise something as being absent if you just chose not to engage with it.

You’d use a big ass gun upgraded with special armor piercing bullets, shoot a regular dude right in the head and he would just shrug it off and keep going.

Yeah? I had the opposite problem. Using the first rifle you get with a silencer and some armour piercing rounds you could one shot every enemy with a head shot. Took away a lot of the fun by making me have to ignore that and use different guns that were substantially weaker just for some fun firefights.

If it is behind a paywall, it isnt news, it is an asset.

The cinema industry is trying so hard to make “glicked” a thing.

It is sort of embarrassing. Not least because they lean back on weak stereotypes about film viewers, their gender and their expectations from films.

The second it becomes the standard is the second google looks for ways of nerfing it.

You’ve managed to get the affinity stuff working under wine? I can’t get publisher to work correctly. I just wish they would make a native version. I’m happy to give them money for it even.

It’s hard to make money from Adobe when they charge you £66 a month.

Jason Lee?

It’s always been about context and provenance. Who took the image? Are there supporting accounts?

But also, it has always been about the knowlege that no one… Absolutely no one… Does lines of coke from a woven mat floor covering.

Really? No dream scenario? Do you even Nicolas Cage?

(It’s literally a film where the rest of the world dreams about his character.)
