"Sponsored recommendations": I pay for Spotify Premium, and yet somehow I'm still the product?

  • The screenshot literally says "sponsored recommendation". Not sure how much more clear it can be that somebody paid money for that.

  • Lol, that's fair. If I would have spent significant hours researching all the changes and the new config files, I probably could have had a better time.

    However, around that time I decided that dist-upgrades were: 1) for the birds, and 2) like Windows in that it's easier & better to wipe and reinstall.

  • That's basically what I did. The only change was I installed Arch instead. No more dist-upgrades!

  • I feel like the people that perpetuate this meme have never used Arch. I've ran it on multiple computers for just over a decade and only once have I had an issue. And that one time, it was my fault. It's been the most solid OS I've used.

    Meanwhile, my headless Ubuntu server couldn't do a dist-upgrade without shitting all over itself. I only ran Ubuntu because of the constant "never use Arch for servers" talk. I wish I had never listened to that. Everything I own runs Arch now and it's so nice.

  • Well, they probably use Macs.

  • Did you know you can say cock on the Internet? Fuck, piss, shit, and cum too. What an amazing place this internet thing is!

    • Is it just me or did Lemmy suddenly became more active now that Sync for Lemmy is released?

    Jump

  • Looks like it's subscription only, at least for now.

    • I feel called out

  • Jesus Christ, did Microsoft rename Lync again?!

    • I re-purchased a Sega 32X. I don't know why...

  • I wanted that service so bad as a kid. I terrorized my local cable company by calling every single day for months (sometimes more than once) thinking "if enough people called asking for it, they'd get it". RIP receptionist lady.

  • With what money?

    I know spez is running it into the ground, but it was valued at $10b last funding round. I don't think he's got the liquid capital after blowing it all on Twitter.

    • Planning on creating a huge torrent. Should I put the files into archives?

    Jump

  • Jpeg is already compressed, so compressing them again won't do anything but make it impossible for people to selectively download just the image/folder they desire.

    Metadata on the other hand sounds like text files, which compress very well. Wether the space savings is worth it is hard to answer without more info. I'd personally lean towards not archiving it.

  • I presume it's cool to post magnet links in here?
