Ouch xD

Actually last time I checked apple did their keynotes mentioning the environment and stuff, greenwashing their choices… I’m curious what they’ll do now.

Just like Tesla, they might have saturated their liberal userbase, I wouldn’t be too surprised if they took a more “neutral” stance

Actually about Gates, does anyone know about his stance on the current fascist takeover?

Absolutely not, I did not implying that, the post is about digital reproduction/ownership of music (if I haven’t misunderstood it)

And that is, basically, free, a very “low” cost of copying bytes. What we pay on Spotify and Apple Music are not the artists, not their instruments or recording hardware or mastering software.

We pay the intermediaries.

Concerts, museums, theatres, etc, have high costs so I’m completely fine for them to cost money to the visitors.

(Oh and I believe Bandcamp is a close second)

Ideally one wouldn’t need to pay to experience a form of art

Rather, one should first experience the art, and then if they want they could make a donation

I think that buying a CD directly from the musician at their concert or event is the only truly direct way that doesn’t end up giving most of the money to monopolistic intermediary

Exactly, you need a specific setup to enjoy it, and you need to give it focus!

I don’t think that making content specifically to be liked by people who wouldn’t enjoy the typical style is a good concept… It can be explored sure, but they also need to make sure to make new trak-like content too

But again I really need to see discovery and snw to see how things are going right now. I also don’t want to judge the s31 movie before watching it

My personal experience is that one should be ready to watch star trek.

When I was 20 I simply wasn’t ready and didn’t try watching any of it despite a friend insisting it was worth it.

Two years ago, instead, I was so ready that I could enjoy TOS too

I’m still not at discovery, so I need to see the nuTrek to say more. But I really just think you can’t advertise trek too much.
