"The final word on which apps you use on your device should be yours. Which is why the EU ordered Apple to open up iOS devices to rival app stores, something Apple categorically refuses to do. Apple’s “plan” for complying with the DMA is, shall we say, sorely lacking (this is part of a grand tradition of American tech giants wiping their butts with EU laws that protect Europeans from predatory activity,...)"
>>record store owner named Diran Mardirian, one of the top purveyors of Middle Eastern music online, spends his days running Chico Records out of Beirut. The city has been under Israeli attack, and yet Mardirian continues to operate the longtime shop that once belonged to his tastemaker father. “The war right now is very cynical, very ugly, very brutal, and I think being in the store gives [my customers] a sense of normalcy, if only very briefly,<< (via hearing things)
if I would like to know if there was an academic paper that mentioned a specific public event in the past (90s) where would i start the search (online)?
original profile of @ admin @ buddyverse.one leads to just a login page with absolutely no info. source reveals little clue, just a pleroma manifest file?
maybe we don't apply the enshittification term to everything that's shitty and slightly connected to capitalism? i mean, yeah, i can understand the use and how easy it can be to just blurt it out when capitalism fucks up something, but enshittification is 'platform decay' for some specific reasons, which really need to be addressed again and again. by using enshittification for everything that turns to shit, it's getting relative af and useless term.
@pettter so how does it work? i mean i have a feeling, but not data. venture capitalists getting the ROI when one in 10 startups get sold to apple/meta/alphabet?
look, writing algorithms that are mimicking how we make music is a creative act. it's a research, a step within the greater project of sculpting art. if it uses machine learning and statistical analysis, some language models, totally fine. applications like reverberation removal, new surprising chord progressions, etc - nothing wrong with that.
what changes this is the context within global (platform) capitalism. nonethical extraction of artistic labor for profit gains is unacceptable.
there are things we don't need in order to be a better societly. when LLM are employed to create a service that brings more profits to the already filthy rich who don't pay taxes, it's something that we don't need. if it gobbles up unconcivable amounts of energy, takes up land and water from those who desperately need it, it's unacceptable.
@hider@flavigula I've been in a household with such electric stove for 15 years. for most of the time it's been 4 of us, including two boys for which we had to cook multiple times per day.
I think it's not less useful than any other. it's very easy to clean.
we have no cat, buy yeah there's a simple lock function.
why we need to pour even more effort in support of diy, self-hosted degrowth cooperative crowd-funded networks and media powered by open source and transparent code, is the fact that there is no more liberalism and capitalism is dead, replaced by technofeudal lords using central planning economic system that Stalin would be extremely happy to have, who are surveilling everyone, taking rent, and being a new form dictatorship over its vazals and serfs.
everyone should have an account on (closed silo) soundcloud in order to seek within tracks and comment
or
no need to have an account to track-seek on a peertube, but if you have an account anywhere on fediverse (social media or peertube), you can comment too...
