Why _anyone_ working in the music industry still has an active Spotify subscription is beyond me.

Why any of the above would then WILFULLY AND GLADLY PROMOTE said platform is utterly fucking ridiculous.

photo of six pumpkins carved into glowing jack-o'-lanterns, in front of a brick wall. a large pumpkin has the cow tools cow carved into it and another large pumpkin has the barn. in front of them are 4 small pumpkins, each carved with one of the cow tools on them. the lump pumpkin has no stem and the prongler pumpkin is laid sideways so that the stem lines up and forms the bottom half of the prongler, it's top half carved into the pumpkin.

A reminder that you don't need to understand everything you see

Tech companies are a month from saying if you don’t use genAI we will shoot this dog

hate using the e-word but has engagement massively cratered on mastodon lately? just looking at the trending tab, most of the stuff on there has single digit favs and double digit boosts. not sure if it's the instance i'm on (hachyderm)?
