So the artists get paid even less than from Spotify?

Mihies ,

Yes, sure, but if those don't get paid, artists don't get paid. And artists are not forced to pick a label, they are free to go solo, but they still prefer labels, so it's not that black and white labels bad, artists good

Mihies ,

You underestimate people and their motivation to listen for free no matter what.

Mihies ,

First, what am I using is beyond the point and I'm not using Spotify because of their payment method and their politics.
And again, if albums are on streaming services, they are voluntarily there, are they not?

Mihies ,

I don't use Spotify, either. And do what you want to do, nobody is forcing your to put your music on Spotify.

Mihies ,

They need thousands of FBI agents more to obscure Orange's name?

Mihies ,

And the bully of the almost a century award goes to ... drums ... US. (has been bullying Cuba since 1960).

Mihies ,

Do you know how it ended?

Mihies ,

Why should we bend to the will of Nazi’s? I don’t want to help them exploit us !

I wouldn't put too much faith in (any actually) Canada government not to bend. Hope they don't, though.

Japan needs to possess nuclear weapons, prime minister's office source says ( english.kyodonews.net )

A source within Japan's prime minister's office said Thursday that the country needs nuclear weapons, remarks that deviate from the country's long-standing non-nuclear principles and could trigger backlash at home and abroad....

Mihies ,

Wait, now US will bomb Japan, right. Right?

Mihies ,

US shouldn't as well, but here we are. How is Venezuela profiting with oil from invasion of Ukraine?

Mihies , (edited )

So, if I got it right, Venezuela is supplying Russia and Iran, both huge oil producers and exporters, with unrefined oil?

Mihies ,

Lucky for you there is Starship 😵‍💫

Mihies ,

I use cake build to create the build script and then I can run it from wherever.

Mihies ,

Yes, I wonder why that "are you a terrorist" question isn't enough for them.

Mihies ,

So just throw all that confirmed NO to Guantanamo. There, problem solved.

New photos released from Epstein’s estate showing Trump, Bannon, Bill Clinton and other high-profile people | CNN Politics ( www.cnn.com )

One image released Friday shows what appears to be a bowl of novelty condoms with a caricature of Trump’s face; the bowl has a sign saying, “Trump condom $4.50,” and each condom bears an image of Trump’s face with the text, “I’m HUUUUGE!”

Mihies ,

I'm HUUUUGE! Trump's condoms are typical scam of his. And hilarious.

Mihies ,

Gulf of Venezuela? It could be renamed to Gulf of America.

Mihies ,

Where is the FIFA award for that now?

Mihies ,

Well, no. Microsoft has good products, to me specially in development area. That said I moved away from Windows and office as well, because of the crap they are putting into them.

Mihies ,

He is already helping China by legalizing land grab from both Israel and Russia.

Mihies ,

His expression when he received peace prize award from FIFA tells a lot what a toddler he is.

Mihies ,

Don't nitpick 🙃

Putin should have accepted Trump’s deal. Now Russia’s collapsing economy could lead to his downfall | Simon Tisdall ( www.theguardian.com )

People in Britain who think they are governed by fools should take a closer look at the Russian and US presidents. Vladimir Putin is systematically ruining his country. His war of choice in Ukraine is an economic, financial, geopolitical and human calamity for Russia that worsens by the day. For his own murky reasons, Donald...

Mihies ,

I've been hearing the same since the start of the war - Russia is running out of weapons, economy is collapsing etc. but here we are, Russia still kicking Ukraine's ass and sending hundreds of drones and plenty of missiles each day. Russia is resilient plus help from NK, China and Iran - I doubt they will collapse anytime soon. But even if they collapse, who will get the helm? Will it be better for Ukraine? World?

Mihies ,

What does that matter? Is Russia efficient? Probably not. Does Russia care about their casualties? Likely not. Are they throwing a ton of manpower and resources at Ukrainians? Yep. Are they advancing? Slowly, but yes, all over the front.
If I have impartial news sources, please, show yours where it is shown that Ukraine is pushing Russians out instead. I'll be more than happy to see those.

Mihies ,

And yet, there are pushing forward all over the front. Also take a look who is eager to strike a peace accord even when it comes at heavy price, and who is not interested in it at all.

Mihies ,

It seems so, indeed.

Mihies ,

OK, you are speaking like the Ukraine has infinite resources and tactically loosing ground just to deplete Russia. I'm sure that they have the plan to loose strategically important cities just for that.

US continue to back Ukraine? Please, do a reality check. While EU is only backing Ukraine halfheartedly and not even the entire EU.

Mihies ,

And yet, they are advancing. And while those tactics seems laughable, guess who is copying them. Yes, Ukraine is (haven't yet heard of animals, though - but many others laughable tactics like nets over roads, wire cages on tanks and other vehicles, using motorbikes etc. Ukraine does, too)

Mihies ,

The US is still sending weapons. Check that reality.

US is selling weapons to European/NATO countries and even that is limited. On the other hand US is appeasing and siding with Putin wherever they can which speaks more than those profit from selling weapons.

Of course Ukraine doesn’t have infinite resources but they are spending theirs much more wisely.

Sure they do and at the same time they don't have enough of those. What is the endgame here? Hoping that Russia collapses somehow before they conquer whatever they are set to?

Mihies ,

Yes, they’re pushing so much all over the front it will take 100 years to conquer Ukraine. Lol.

You do realize that the ground lost is most likely forever, unless something really bad happens to Russia which is highly unlikely, right? They don't need to conquer entire Ukraine.

Mihies ,

Axis is rising once more, only Italy is lagging behind, as usual.

Mihies ,

Don't worry, Melania will write another beautiful letter to Putin. We got this.

Mihies ,

Could? We are way past that.

Mihies ,

Could? We are way past that.

Mihies ,

UK?

Mihies ,

And assuming green energy, no emissions

Mihies ,

Yep, no objections there.

Mihies ,

Doesn't flatpak achieve similar? Won't ask for permission at runtime though.

Mihies ,

Beautiful peace process wants a word with you

Mihies ,

It's not that I don't believe it, but we should check the material first hand. Always check the facts, don't just trust the media!!!!

Mihies ,

All of these are illegal.

Mihies ,

It was obvious murders/assassinations from the beginning.

Mihies ,

I'm shocked... said nobody.

Mihies ,

Coming from managed languages I found syntax weird, but got more comfortable in few days 🤷‍♂️
If you're used to one language, then usually the other looks weird initially

Slovenians reject assisted-dying law in national referendum ( www.france24.com )

Slovenians voted on Sunday to suspend a new law legalising assisted dying after opponents forced a referendum. With nearly all ballots counted, about 53% rejected the measure and 47% backed it, delaying its implementation for at least a year, election authorities said....

Mihies ,

This is so fucked up driven by MAGA equivalent, Christian church, very stupid people and too lazy to vote others.

Mihies ,

"That's not what we do in America" ... yet.

Mihies ,

Cool, but then again, it is only so effective. And that even before the godknowwhat mutations. But yes, it certainly seems a step forward.
