It's a bit of a confusing situation. Spotify pays the labels for the rights, but also has to pay the artists? Do the artists not get money from the labels for the money they got from seeling their songs? Do artists that own their own songs get a larger cut from Spotify?
And yeah 56mil is nothing to a business like this, I'm surprised it's not more profitable with all the subscriptions and ad money. It's like THE platform for music nowadays.
I always thought you're supposed to buy similar drives so the performance is better for some reason (I guess the same logic as when picking RAM?) but this thread is changing my mind, I guess it doesn't matter after all👀
I hope these kinks get ironed out as the software matures. I see no reason why people wouldn't be able to just rent a cloud server, run a few docker commands and have their own instance running one day. Maybe not for kbin or lemmy, but at least mastodon.
As long as we all continue to federate with each other instead of relying on some corporation to say whose messages go through and whose don't, there's a chance.
Not necessarily, email had to work well because businesses depended on it and (lots of) money was involved. Fediverse is a much more hobbyist endeavor and attracts groups of people who are not profit driven.
That could change of course but that's why it's important to stick to these (FOSS) principles from the start. It's why it was important to reject threads in the fediverse and not let it overtake everything, which it luckily doesn't seem like it's gonna any time soon.
It's pretty bad for small communities. A new factorio update drops and we have a thread on beehaw, lemmy and kbin gaming communities. Meanwhile the actual factorio community (on either of these servers) also gets a thread but it's mostly empty.
For some communities this makes sense but I feel like it just kills any smaller ones, they just never get a chance to take off properly.
It doesn't help that the fediverse search is just atrocious.
Except it's basically impossible to host your own mail server and have it work reliably, especially for a casual user. Mail space is dominated by Gmail, Hotmail, Protonmail and other giants.
Even if it might be a good comparison underneath for the technical side, it is not a favorable comparison for an user looking to get into the fediverse.
What are you even talking about? I feel like I got 0 useful actionable information from your comment, just a vague sense of dread. What rules are they breaking? What specifically is wrong with this video?
You can put twitters feed to following only and it's kinda the same thing tbh. I don't think Mastodon did anything to fix the core issue from the video, you're still bombarded with opinions from people you don't have much in common with. Whether it's millions of people on twitter or thousands on Mastodon, it's still more than what our stupid brain is able it process IMHO.
Isn't it kinda the opposite? A fediverse is not multiple separate isolated villages, it's a bunch of villages all bundled up together in one place within walking distance.
I've been curious about it since they said they are focusing a lot on pve as well (which makes sense since I think RTSes have kinda died off because of their competitive pvp nature and high barrier to entry). I think what would make modern RTSes prosper again is a powerful map editor and appeal to casual players more than esport types.
That being said, maybe I'm just deluding myself into thinking this would be more accessible and pve friendly since it's so obviously starcraft with a new coat of paint?
I hope they just release it soon so I can find out which one it is 😅
If you have a static IP address, if you want to bother with securing and maintaining it, if you're willing to deal with downtime when something inevitably breaks, if you're willing to deal with lost data or also maintaining a backup solution, if... a dozen other things that most people don't want to deal with.
