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.
Thanks. I guess the piglets just represent random Bolsheviks sucking up to the Party leadership. Makes it look a bit like if Death of Stalin was set to Animal Farm.
Yeah, I'm planning to keep a second backup in the office once I've figured it out at home. I think that should be sufficient. Will still keep it local in a networking sense, but I'm walking back and forth with my laptop.
It seems we don't really produce HDDs in Europe, which is still the cheapest storage for large amounts of data. But at least it's good to know that there are alternatives out there!
Yeah, I guess avoiding the US is probably the best I can do here.
Maybe Verbatim (edit: and Synology) could be a good option - they're Taiwanese, so at least it would somewhat align with my geopolitical positioning. :)
I'm following so many communities the list is really useless unless I use Ctrl+F. For users like me it would make more sense to collapse the list of communities unless I ask to see it.
Then again, I brought this on myself.
I really like that instance is now added to communities with the same name!
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.
Yeah, I think these are good priorities, and PieFed.social seems like a pretty reliable new home. I'm obviously a fan, considering that I've been using it since the start. :)
Pretty disappointing stuff, especially concerning the potential for joystick drift and the gluing of the battery. If they haven't fixed drift I think I have no choice but to skip this generation.
Is this supposed to be Old Major (Marx/Lenin) and Snowball (Trotsky) in conversation, and Napoleon (Stalin) injecting himself?
I'm a bit sceptical for now. I don't remember this scene from the book, and I don't feel like I see the characters as I remember them here. I thought Old Major pretty much stuck with his principles until the end, and things turned to shit only after his death? Alternatively, if the adult pig in the trailer is Napoleon, are the piglets just random partisans who had no role in the book?
The film is directed by Andy Serkis, aka Gollum, so that's interesting I guess.
