Sure, but that doesn't take away from the fact that under this model, small artists with little money seem to have a strong incentive not to put their music up for sale, which will cost both them and Bandcamp potential profits.
Maybe they could offer fans to sponsor a membership for artists if they want to unlock premium features.
Fair enough. But musicians are not really "any type of venture".
Bandwagon is already taking on a risk by hosting music for free for listening. If they could find ways in which both them and the artists could profit from music published on the platform that lacks the commercial potential to justify a €10 subscription, this would be a win/win. Considering that it seems they are already hosting the music for free.
We're outsourcing thinking to a bullshit generator controlled by mostly American mega-corporations who have repeatedly demonstrated that they want to do us harm, burning through scarce resources and rendering creative humans robbed and unemployed in the process.
Not strictly a scam, but there's a little money to be made creating viral content on Facebook. They receive a tiny portion of the ad revenue from Facebook when they generate engagement.
This is just obviously not the case to anyone who bothers reading it. It's an original piece of writing.
The only thing that could hint at AI here is the use of em-dashes, which is a bullshit tell—I use them all the time myself as well. They're right there for anyone with a compose key on Linux.
Yeah, I imagine parts of the US is probably pretty ideal for this. Where I'm from you'll find remote places where it would make sense, but you probably wouldn't want to drive around in a rather low riding sports car on the roads in these places. I guess this thing probably won't be street legal in Europe anyway.
I think chapter 2 does a good job presenting the advantages.
Maybe you inherited someone else’s codebase. A minefield of nested closures, half-commented hacks, and variable names like d and foo. A mess of complex OOPisms, where you have to traverse 18 files just to follow a single behaviour. You don’t have all day. You need a flyover—an aerial view of the warzone before you land and start disarming traps.
Ask Copilot: "What’s this code doing?"
It won’t be poetry. It won’t necessarily provide a full picture. But it’ll be close enough to orient yourself before diving into the guts.
So—props where props are due. Copilot is like a greasy, high-functioning but practically poor intern:
Great with syntax
Surprisingly quick at listing out your blind spots.
Good at building scaffolding if you feed it the exact right words.
Horrible at nuance.
Useless without supervision.
Will absolutely kill you in production if left alone for 30 seconds.
I guess the problem is that if you take your car to the plane, then your plane somewhere else, suddenly you don't have your car. And then if you drive somewhere else you don't have your plane any more.
I think it's pretty obvious that rental cars and commercial flights make a lot more sense for most scenarios. But I guess it's possible to imagine scenarios where this vehicle makes sense, either for extensive round trips or for places where car rentals don't exist but the roads are nevertheless pretty good.
Governments post vital information there, they try to turn it into payment services you might depend on, personally I've lost contact with friends who are only answering on platforms I don't use. The entire business idea is to make it so that those who are not using the platforms are missing out.
I think maybe it does, but I'm a pretty normal user who just used the Murena quick installer to get /e/OS. Reading up on Magisk after some web searches I quickly realized it was more than I could bite over without spending too much time trying to figure it all out. If people insist on making apps I can't use I'll just accept that I won't be using them at this point. Their loss.
Along with a bunch of open source alternatives everywhere. But mainstream options are always run by capitalists, and they always try to find ways to punish people for not using them.
I live in Denmark, their state identification app does not work if it detects that the Android ROM is not straight from Google. So when I switched to /e/OS I couldn't access anything any more. So yeah, in my case the solution was ta give up on one pretty critical app.
Thankfully the solution was as easy as getting one of those old fashioned code chips, and everything else seems to be working fine (including banking apps from other countries). So now I'm rocking /e/OS and I'm pretty sure there is no way I'm ever going back to Google Android.
Also looking at the projects he has created, saying that he has not delivered anything seems a bit... Imprecise.
Every project I know of on the Fediverse is a work in progress, and it's always a question of prioritization. But Dansup has created, and continues to create, some amazing stuff. Even if he sometimes gets a bit ahead of himself in advertising stuff.
Then again it seems battery life is a lot better this time around, so this should ideally be less necessary.
