They also treat artists like shit. I switched over to Tidal simply to get access to Joanna Newsom’s music, as she won’t tolerate Spotify’s terms. Tidal isn’t much better, but it is slightly.
I was looking forward to blockchain cutting out the middle man in paying artists. Too bad it has so far not happened that way.
I would like to know what rule #6 is. Asking for a friend.
What am I looking at?
I use the Google keyboard at speed and it works great, while the iphone used in the same manner was completely impossible. Even the Google keyboard installed on the iphone was awful.
I’ll try your tip and go slower. Maybe that will make a difference.
Ah that makes perfect sense. I’m alone for much of my day.
It seems to work terribly on iphones, even with Google’s keyboard. (Source: one single iphone which was entirely uncooperative.)
I’ve always swiped but somehow just installed voice to text last week. Game changer!
Can I root my 10 year old Kindle Paperwhite?
I moved from MA to NC and I miss my library every day. (I also miss other things.)
While we’re on the subject of oompa loopmas… What’s up with Cindy Loo Who and the guy behind her? Holy canoli.
Didn’t want to be pres last time though. Colbert ran as a joke, but I wanted Stewart for real.
Also drinking while driving with an attached snow plow. I see you, Berkshire county. It’s not a sport… Yet.
As a lifelong practitioner of all things peanut butter, I guess I will try it! What’s the ideal ratio, 1:1?
Pb+cheese??? Wtf?
No mustard… Just regular bland fluffy oily stuff. But different brands of mayo are weirdly different, and some have cult followings.
And for not doing enough to help people who are really struggling, and for taking bribes and for insider trading, and for being for corporations and money over regular people, and for war mongering, and for not giving people a path toward citizenship, and for not undoing the post-9/11 war power bullshit, and for not advocating for voting reform, and for shipping our jobs overseas, and for their lack of transparency, etc etc etc.
Do I need to say this everytime someone gives a little criticism where it’s due? The good guys are doing a TERRIBLE job.
Ftr I vote Democrat in every fucking election, and I hate this goddamned party. I just hate them significantly less than the other party.
Get rid of fptp. Get rid of the 2 party system. Get us an actual democracy. Fucking hell, people. YES the Democratic party is fucked the fuck up. That doesn’t mean I’m voting for anyone else, but they goddamn suck ass.
Wait, what is this * part of your comment? I guess I missed some piece of these insane news cycles.

Good point in pointing out the discrepancy between music streaming and book borrowing. Online libraries in the US are managed by some kind of digital rights software, which seems to essentially allow libraries to own a limited number of digital copies of a book. Streaming services like Tidal and Spotify seem to pay out a tiny amount of money to artists each time content is streamed. Is it something about library budgeting that doesn’t allow for this? Is it just historical baggage that hasn’t been rethought?
The music streaming model is honestly terrible for musical artists, so I’m not saying that’s necessarily the direction we should head. But you’re right that I’m not limited to listening to a song just because someone else is, and it would be extremely helpful if the same applied to library books.
As it is, when I have time to read I put in the request to borrow a book, and then it becomes available 1 to 10 weeks later (whether or not I’m ready to read it at that point). Then I only get 2-3 weeks to fit reading it into my schedule. It doesn’t work out half the time as I get busy with other things… So how is it not easier to pirate it or buy it? I love and support my library, but golly this digital system is dysfunctional.
