I don’t know that I’d consider this “mildly” infuriating. Good on you for having any semblance of composure!

Ah okay, thanks for explaining that to me. I didn’t have any context for this, but that makes sense. I hope they’re able to get everything they want.

This is exactly it. It seems like every service is raising prices with no noticeable improvement to the service itself. Hell, this would be easier to swallow if Spotify was going to pay artists more. There doesn’t seem to be any benefit to anyone other than Spotify’s bottom line, which I assure you, is doing just fine.

They turned down a 30% increase in both wages AND pension benefits? I’m very curious about what’s in the rest of that contract, because this sounds like it should have been a slam dunk.

Completely agree. I think people are so engrained that they just don’t want to try something else.

That’s exactly it. I saw a lot of people on Twitter today saying they’re only staying the fallout. It’s dumb, and yes, I’m part of the problem, though I’m staying only to update some connections on where I’m going.

Nothing, I’m still there, unfortunately. Fact is, there just isn’t that much engagement here, and smaller niche subs that I like will have new posts daily on Reddit, but will sometimes take a week or more.

I like the idea of Lemmy quite a bit, and I appreciate the hell out of Memmy and Mlem (can’t decide what I like more), but I also am using Apollo still, and I may have to stick with that for a while.

My eyesight isn’t great. I was looking for a bathroom in a restaurant, assumed I found a door, but instead of using my hands to push it like a normal person, I slammed my body into it, smashing my nose.

Also, it wasn’t a door. It was just glass.

Head hurt for the rest of the day, and I was bleeding for a bit too!

I use Downcast. I can’t give you an argument for that over any other apps because other than the Apple podcast app, this is all I’ve used. It works great.
