Spotify pays artists based on how many listens their songs get, so if you can get a bunch of bots to stream your music over and over you can get a legitimate income stream.
In this case, they’re using their illegal income to pay people to use a botnet to stream their songs - which then means they have a nice legal income instead.
The US can barely even put sidewalks where it’s convenient. I have very little hope for our local governments to add bike lanes to it.
The choice between Linux and Windows is not just about ideologically choosing open vs closed source software.
If you don’t want to use closed source software, don’t use VS Code - but if you want to use Linux, and you want to use VS Code, those two choices are totally compatible and perfectly valid
What bike do you use and would you recommend it? I’ve been looking for an e-bike recently since I work so close to home, but I haven’t found any that seem reputable and a good value. I’m definitely looking for one that’s easily repairable and not paired to a specific brand’s software or proprietary parts.
Granted, I’ve only been passively looking (I.e. when I see an ad or doing a quick google search sometimes), but from what I can tell most of the advertised bikes are just the same handful of models with a different logo slapped on it and dubious claims about its performance.
You’ll never understand why people want to check out the latest app from a major tech company?
I get it if you aren’t interested personally, but it seems strange to not understand why people would want to try it.
There’s nothing to stop an admin from hosting a static front end for their Lemmy instance if they’d rather, but it’s clear that SSR is a goal here - and I think the default UI for Lemmy really should include SSR for plenty of reasons. And, if you’re already hosting a Lemmy instance, you definitely already have a host that can support Rust (at the very least, in a container).
Just wanted to give props to this super informative comment. Thanks for the write up and relevant links!
