Man I’m just getting killed for misreading stuff lately.

I don’t know but that’s a ground symbol like you would see on an electronics schematic.
“Hunny! The nerds are here, break out the nice silverware!”
I try to avoid it. I only buy there what I can’t find locally, or elsewhere on the internet, or anywhere at the price. At this point, I probably purchase less than an item a month from Amazon, and I’m still trying to cut that down.
I see you missed my point.
I can’t believe I’m on the music industry’s side on this. It’s a sad day when I have to root for the team that’s made it hard for me to make a living while they fight against the team that’s trying to make me obsolete.
That 15 yr old cracked CS5 I have on an old hard drive is looking mighty scrumptious right now.
The sheer amount of accounts I don’t follow and/or adds I DO see already do this for me. It’s a nice “feature” they added for me. Way to go Meta. I get bored fast now and close the app.
Seems like you’re hearing it perfectly, but not listening.
The convenience you required is now mandatory.
I do this too, thankfully I work from home. No has to listen to me but my cat.
Well, I can’t take them with me…
As a musician who has been following this closely for a while, it keeps getting worse and worse. Musicians of my status have less and less opportunities to make a living off of our art in a world that is becoming increasingly easier to produce and distribute in. I’ve done this a long time and have had moderate success in the past. It’s to the point now though that the ways I THOUGHT musicians made money was never available to me, and the way we DID make money when I started almost doesn’t exist anymore either.
Ummm it’s hard to do without giving up a wonderful 9-book, 7 or 8 novella plot, but I’ll do my best. It’s ultimately a space opera, but the ideas explored are well thought out and intriguing. I don’t think it really gets as deep into what you’re looking for as you’d like but it’s still a wonderful book series.
Future humans, in our solar system, lots of political intrigue between the powers of the UN (all of earth), the Martian Congressional Republic, and the Outer Planets Alliance (people of the asteroid belt, less of a govt, more of a political movement). Someone finds what might be alien life or alien technology (possibly sitting for a billion years in outlets solar system), and the rest is what happens to humans in the wake of that.
The tech itself gets into possible collective consciousness, planet-sized carbon crystal data storage and quantum entanglement. Along with things like worm hole technology and heavily bending (but not really breaking) the laws of physics.
It’s all written with VERY sound scientific thought behind every little nuance of the story and all the tech involved.
It’s not the hardest of sci-fi and ultimately there’s isn’t a ton in the narrative specifically about this, but there’s some really interesting stuff in The Expanse series (book, not show) that touches on this kind of thing.
I don’t, of course. “Sir, this is a meme”
Weirdly, I am days fresh from a vasectomy.
I’ve had music on Spotify almost a decade now. Best it’s done was pay to keep it on Spotify. It won’t even be able to do that anymore.
Fair compensation for who? Record labels who already rake in tons of money, or small artists that now need 1000 streams a year at minimum to get paid at all on a specific track?
I actually think the post title and text were edited AFTER I responded which made me look like an idiot, but whatever.
