- Strengthening Community Bonds: business@lemmy.world
L3s @lemmy.world FeaturedGreetings everyone,
We wanted to take a moment and let everyone know about the !business@lemmy.world community on Lemmy.World which hasn't gained much traction. Additionally, we've noticed occasional complaints about Business-related news being posted in the Technology community. To address this, we want to encourage our community members to engage with the Business community.
While we'll still permit Technology-related business news here, unless it becomes overly repetitive, we kindly ask that you consider cross-posting such content to the Business community. This will help foster a more focused discussion environment in both communities.
We've interacted with the mod team of the Business community, and they seem like a dedicated and welcoming group, much like the rest of us here on Lemmy. If you're interested, we encourage you to check out their community and show them some support!
Let's continue to build a thriving and inclusive ecosystem across all our communities on Lemmy.World!

- After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Yearwww.billboard.com Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year With Premium, Duo, Family Plan Changes
Spotify will potentially pay songwriters about $150 million less in U.S. mechanical royalties next year after bundling its plans with audiobooks.
When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not this time.
By adding audiobooks into Spotify’s premium tier, the streaming service now claims it qualifies to pay a discounted “bundle” rate to songwriters for premium streams, given Spotify now has to pay licensing for both books and music from the same price tag — which will only be a dollar higher than when music was the only premium offering. Additionally, Spotify will reclassify its duo and family subscription plans as bundles as well.

- Does anyone use https://presearch.com/

It somehow implies it's open source and indeed there is github https://github.com/PresearchOfficial too, but I can't find any link from the presearch.com itself to it. It's just... IDK, weird?

- Using DattoRMM to deploy CW RMM via scripting???
Does anyone know how Connectwise RMM does scripting deployments FROM other RMM tools? We are having a tough time trying to figure out how to pass our site tokens through as part of an installation script from DattoRMM, and none of the documentation seems to align correctly. Someone told us it would be something like
msiexec /q /i "%tempdir%\AsioAgentIinstaller.msi" TOKEN=@RMMSiteToken@ /L*V "%tempdir%\AsioAgentInstaller.log"
but we're not seeming to have much luck with that.
Has anyone successfully scripted their deployment/migration from DattoRMM to CWRMM, and if so, how? We're absolutely vexed at this.
