50% nic lmao. Fake as hell.

I've vaped since 2013 and have literally never heard of this. Could be regional 💁‍♂️

@red@sopuli.xyz avatar

50mg is also a metric fucton of nic in a vape. My strong mixes are 13mg, and low nic is 4mg.

@red@sopuli.xyz avatar

When vapes came out and the devices were shitty and produced low amounts of vapor, the highest I saw was 30mg and 24mg, and the "marlboro red" equivalent was 18mg.

Their games, engine and business model are all at the spot others were 10 years ago, so this makes perfect sense.

This is one solution to the issue, and it seems silly you are being downvoted for it.

Google became what it became, and years of seo optimisation cat & mouse play has reached new heights. Those obviously target Google instead of their competitors for now.

Would that we could have perfect search results, it would be beneficial to google as well.

Volvo started with the cheap EX30, so this is a logical thing. Most other car makers started with luxury cars and are trying to get cheap ones out.

@red@sopuli.xyz avatar

Well considering current EV pricing, that's what it is, in relation to other cars.

I agree that we need more 20-25k€ models on the market.

I settled on a 57k€ model because at the point where I adopted, there was less good choices around.

On the other hand, I'm glad these are the issues we're combatting against, instead of a corrupt bipartisan government.

It is. But if your input is the equivalent of vocal diarrhea, I'm not sure why you are surprised that people find it smells like shit.

No, what you said is objectively bullshit.

I mean, we read code more than we write it. You just vomitted over something that increases readability. Maybe a time for a rethink?

red ,
@red@sopuli.xyz avatar

Do you also get surprised when you backspace a tab and suddenly it removes more whitespace than 1 characters worth?

Or did you learn it fast and really never think about it?

I think it's more a "getting used to" thing, that once learned, you don't think about, but it makes things more readable.

Studies show that ligatures improve readability, but I acknowledge that it's likely untrue for outliers.

After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year ( www.billboard.com )

When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...

I mean, Spotify is a great service for the consumer. One reasonable monthly fee for most of the music in the world.

If a similar video streaming service existed for 40€/month, I'd pay for it in a heartbeat. Now I have a plethora of arr apps and a vpn, and Plex. But it's a hassle sometimes.

We're all aware of the issues it created for the artists, and I'd be willing to double the fee if that money directly went to the artists, but this is where the capitalist model fails, as that won't maximize the profits for shareholders.

If we ever come up with a way to fix the underlying greed models that come with publicly traded companies, that would be great.

As it stands, it is what it is, but I'm glad we have this, instead of a "different Spotify per music publisher".

@red@sopuli.xyz avatar

None of these have good app support compared to Spotify, sadly. Not supported by my car, nor my Linux desktop, or home speakers.

Oh and Deezer pays even less to artists than Spotify.

red ,
@red@sopuli.xyz avatar

Not sure about the ads? If you mean when the app notifies you about live gigs etc. then yeah, that's shittification. Luckily it doesn't happen on my desk or car, but I wish it didn't sometimes appear on my phone. That's the one thing that might push me to add music to my video streaming arr stack.

@red@sopuli.xyz avatar

Not sure what the relevance of this comment was, considering what I said

red ,
@red@sopuli.xyz avatar

You'd be correct

red ,
@red@sopuli.xyz avatar

I'm not familiar with the free tier, but if you don't pay anything, I think ads are fine.

Paying and seeing ads is wrong on the other hand.

@red@sopuli.xyz avatar

I was referring to the sharding that happened with video streaming services. It used to be Netflix had mostly everything, in the start, similar to Spotify. Now there are services per publisher that contain their own catalogues.

Fuck. That.

red ,
@red@sopuli.xyz avatar

Spotify isn't the only service currently.

Like I said in my op: it's good service for the consumer. It might not be if enshittification ensues.

But compared to video streaming, it's awesome.

The issue isn't the service model, but the capitalistic shit behind it, that attempts to maximize profits instead of paying artists fairly.

I'm in the same boat. I'm a paid Bitwarden user but I'd like to keep 2fa and passwords separated.

If no alternative soon, i'll just bite the bullet and put everything in bitwarden (except itself, ofc)

Polestar has already equipped vehicles with this tech.

The PS5, and yeah still unreleased, but already driving prototypes out in the wild. They are using the companys tech mentioned in the article and hopefully we'll see widespread adoption after testing.

I'm usually sceptic, but for once these new battery inventions are actually already implemented, and not just on paper or in a lab.

Just remove the fullstack part. If there are any senior developers going through the CVs, that’s an immediate red flag.

Why? The “stack” has grown so large, that when a dev claims to be fullstack, you know he either doesn’t understand enough to know he cannot be a fullstack developer, or he does, and isn’t really good at anything, because there’s just too much to know these days.

There’s a system over at Nova Discord where we reply to polls about the new features, we’re basically guinea pigs trying out stuff Branch is going to push out via their deals with OEMs. That’s how I’ve understood it.

There is no bytes being sent out with the beta, and replying in Discord is voluntary, obviously.

I self-host GitBucket, and honestly your reasoning behind giving up arguably the best version control application, just because of one hosting site, is downright ludicrous.

red ,
@red@sopuli.xyz avatar

It hasn’t. There are literally thousands and thousands of developers using Git daily without having nothing to do with GitHub.

You are entitled to your opinion, but that’s a fact. What MS does or doesn’t, with GitHub, has no effect on these devs. You can see how egregious it is to read a random person sayint we should stop using a certain tool, because Walmart also uses it? Jeesh.

red ,
@red@sopuli.xyz avatar

The great majority of developers never contribute, that’s a false expectation. Majority of programmers work in the private sector and use local git hosts/solutions instead of GitHub.

Again, expecting those devs to not use git because of one hoster, is a ludicrous idea in itself.

    You could have read what the article was about, though.

    Comments no longer visible with youtube frontends?

    Are comments no longer visible for anyone else using the youtube frontends? I can no longer see comments with either invidious, piped, or viewtube, and I’ve tried several instances of each. With invidious there’s just nothing there below the video description. With viewtube I get an error message. And with piped I see...

    In think that there’s enough space here for differing opinions and discussion. Echo chambers are not good. Fyi: I’m against his idea, but I welcomed the discussion.

    @red@sopuli.xyz avatar

    I’m not seeing the “insulting users of the community” point you stated OP, could you clarify? I did see one snarky response to a dude calling him an asshole, and I also saw posts stating he shouldn’t be a mod, and generally very hostile responsens. Those in mind, I think his output was quite civil even though I disagree with his reasoning and opinion to large degree.

    This feels like a witchhunt to me, and I for one don’t think a volunteer moderators job should be in question if he has a hot take on something. He’s just keeping the spam etc. clean, he’s allowed to have differing opinions on subjects, as long as there is no misuse of his mod powers.
