yes but if Spotify uses its own GenAI music, they don’t have to pay anyone else when someone listens to it.

Spotify’s plans to take money from subscribers but never pay a fucking dime to anyone else , ever.

I love that they have Ultima 4 available for free. I spent SO many hours in that world. The “what kind of person are you” value judgment questions at the beginning were remarkably heavy for introspective teenage me.

Industry groups argued that those museums didn’t have “appropriate safeguards” to prevent users from distributing the games once they had them in hand. They also argued that there’s a “substantial market” for older or classic games, and a new, free library to access games would “jeopardize” this market. Perlmutter agreed with the industry groups.

hey GTX1080 user! Have you been able to get any games running with RTX? I picked mine up used a while back, and I kinda stopped PC gaming ages ago, but it’d be nice to use these features if I could. I haven’t been able to get RTX Portal or RTX Quake 2 to work right via Steam, so i figured the card/drivers just can’t handle it and I should just play vanilla DOOM instead.

according to Architecture Today, that structure is sexual in nature.

I enjoy using semicolons. They’re very useful. I consider them to be a comma-chameleon.

EVERY NOW AND THEN I GOTTA FART

well, who really says “I’m glad you’re as weird as I” ? Might not be room for an ‘am’.

McKinsey is to the middle class what flesh-eating bacteria is to healthy tissue.

Holy shit, this writer pulls no punches.

I would love to have notable information pop up but we both know it would devolve into something between Ow My Balls and the RESUME VIEWING episode of Black Mirror.
