This sounds great! What are you doing?
This sounds great! What are you doing?
All this hypocrisy. All these messages from colleagues and other people annoy me because everyone is suddenly very nice and only wishes each other the best. And of course the family has to be visited too. And there have to be gifts even if you have nothing else to say to each other.
I hate it.
Stereotypes are nonsense.
And no, what you are describing are French.
Portal 2. I love the game. But when it goes all the way down and you have to fight your way through that underground rubble…
I am very excited to see which areas of medicine will make progress through AI in the next few years.
My best friend has extreme back pain and there doesn’t seem to be anyone who can really help him.
My wife has multiple sclerosis, which I don’t need to say more about.
Medicine has made enormous progress in the last few decades. I pray this gets a turbo boost from AI. (And that even though I don’t believe in God.)
What message?
I was going to say to myself “Invest in Nvidia shares”, but your sentence is much better.
My experience has been different. Even without Spotify, I’ve found a large number of new bands over the years through websites, reviews, and music videos on YouTube. This shows that there are multiple ways to discover diverse music.
My main concern is about the broader impact of streaming on the music industry. While Spotify can be a fantastic tool for discovering music, it’s important to consider how its business model and algorithms might influence musical production and consumption patterns. Yes, artists do receive royalties from radio plays, but the system is different from streaming. My worry is that the streaming model, especially in terms of payment structures and engagement strategies, might inadvertently prioritize certain types of music, potentially overshadowing the rich diversity in the music world.
Absolutely, I’m aware of the Top 40, but my point is about how services like Spotify are amplifying the dominance of this type of quickly digestible music. While the Top 40 has always reflected popular tastes, Spotify intensifies the focus on ephemeral hits rather than promoting a diverse range of music and independent artists. Additionally, the technology behind Spotify, where artists or labels aren’t compensated if a track is skipped within the first 30 seconds, further influences this trend. It shapes not only what we listen to but also how we value music.
I believe Spotify is largely responsible for its own financial struggles. Knowing that 2/3 of their revenue goes to the greedy labels, they should consider scaling back on operational costs and excessive investments in advertising and celebrity podcast deals.
In a way, it serves them right. Spotify plays a significant role in transforming music into a product akin to fast food, prioritizing mass consumption over artistic value. This approach not only impacts their profitability but also contributes to a broader devaluation of music as an art form.
So fuck Spotify.
No. Reality can’t be better than expectations.
I’d love to have a job where I get paid to work with excel the whole day. Not kidding.
And if it were just a few dollars that were made available to the social workers there… That would be something, right?
And by moderation I mean that someone should explain what you see and thus point out dangers. Over and over again. They should try to rule out that anyone has fun watching these sad fates.
Even though I agree with you that you shouldn’t look away, there are two things that bother me:
If I understand correctly, this is completely unmoderated. This means it is up to the viewer how they interpret what they see.
In addition, the income should be made available to solve the problem. But it seems like someone is just putting it in their pocket.

Take my Upvote!
But wait, what if that’s what you’re after?
Now I’m irritated.
Both. Both is good.
