I really wish vintage didn’t apply to things from my childhood. But here we are.

After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year
Just cancelled, have been a customer since 2015 or so.
I’ve said many times I would gladly pay more, if it were an elective extra cost that goes 100% to the artists you listen to.
So $11/mo to Spotify, then I could elect to pay another amount of my choosing that gets split up based on what I’m listening to and goes 100% to the artists. I don’t love it but it would be an acceptable solution to me.
A better solution would be for Spotify to be fair and pay artists accordingly from the start… buttttt Capitalism, and Spotify is publicly traded so no chance of that ever happening. I’m out.

Nice that he calls users to Lemmy at the end!

DeSantis - Only I am allowed to remove consumer choice
It makes sense when you realize that his (and so many like him, all following Trump’s lead) only driving force is to own the libs. That’s the whole platform, literally nothing else matters.
Enflame the culture war = votes. Because that’s all that matters to so, so many Republican voters.

You wouldn’t happen to be an otter, would you? No judgement either way, just curious.

Meta Threads engagement has dropped off since red-hot debut, tracking firms say
Reply in thread
Threads doesn’t yet support ActivityPub, that’s supposed to come down the road. Some instances have preemptively blocked Meta though, yes.

Definitely those were in every classroom when I was little, but my dad had one of these bad boys at home, I remember the weird ears things on top.https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/de84e279-3106-42b0-b17c-fe61283e73fb.webp

I’ll add to this because I haven’t seen it mentioned.. the fact that you posted here at all is telling. I’m no expert in this subject but isn’t reaching out for help a pretty strong indicator that you don’t want to do it, you’re looking for reasons to go on? Like, nobody really wants to, but sometimes the pain of life is just too much and people feel like they can’t take it anymore. So it’s not that you want to die, is that you don’t want to feel such pain. I’m sorry you’re feeling that way, stranger.
22 is rough. I’m 36 and me and all my friends agree that early to mid 20s were by far the most turbulent time of our lives, emotionally. I hope you’re able to make it to the better years ahead.

how can I develop a thick skin?
Have you tried any of the remote options like betterhelp or similar? I have a buddy who is employed through one of these platforms, the flexibility for both client and therapist seems really great. It’s not at all a case of having sub-par professionals on these sites, if that’s a concern.
If you simply prefer in-person, that’s understandable too. Just know that the options are out there, location shouldn’t limit someone’s therapy options in 2024.

Singing Water Drop (OC)
That’s really incredible, I love the deep reds and the contrast between the drop and background. Then of course there’s the capture of this millisecond of time that manages to convey emotion and elegance, somehow.

Stumbled over here after seeing your Eclipse shot, which is killer!
You mention you’ve done these stitches previously, did you used to post them on Reddit? I recall one for sure, maybe more, that had the same idea. Was a big fan then and had one as my phone background for a while.
Nice to see ya on Lemmy, if that was you, and keep up the good work regardless.

New here myself, still trying to take it all in. I’m not really sure how Threads works without ActivityPub, I just recall reading that they plan to incorporate it later. And at that time it will integrate with the fediverse wherever it isn’t blocked.
Aside- I’m really enjoying it around here so far! I’m set up with Memmy and Ice Cube, and I’ve got my eyes on Artemis for kbin. Initially I was really hoping Reddit would reconsider their API position so I could get back on Apollo, but things are self-sustaining enough around here that I’m happy to be here instead. I actually did do the personal API Apollo sideload so I do have access to Reddit via Apollo, but I’ve been spending about 5 minutes a day there at best. Account deletion is next.

Playing on PC but just giving a +1 to the other replies. No complaints so far, every bit as enjoyable as the first and I’m perfectly fine experiencing the new stuff as it gets released.

Trump’s Brain Is Not Okay
Reply in thread
Completely reasonable arguments and not at all “both sides bullshit”…
Both sides bullshit is when someone is using that argument to imply that “both are bad so it doesn’t matter” or “x is bad so y isn’t such a bad choice”
You said none of that and just commented, very reasonably, that both of these guys are too fucking old to run a country. Idk why Lemmies seem to see everything in black and white.. I’ll vote blue as well, but not because I think Biden is an excellent choice.
