Four alternatives to Spotify: swapping is easier than you think Artists and listeners are leaving the platform after its CEO invested in defence technology. Here are your options – along with how to keep your playlists

So the guardian is suggesting Amazon and YouTube among top alternatives to Spotify? Yes share a good argument to leave Spotify, but zero points for weighing up ethical concerns w the competition www.theguardian.com/music/2025/j...

Court agrees government paid β€œscant regard” to climate threat, throws out lawsuit anyway Court agrees Australian government acted negligently when it failed to take meaningful action on climate change, but says current laws can do nothing about it.

β€œThe judge said the Australian government had failed to properly engage with climate science when setting emissions targets in 2015, 2020 and 2021, and that climate change was battering the islands in the Torres Strait where the applicants lived.”

Unfortunately, you can’t protect oceans while subsidising gas and coal expansion.

No ocean is safe from climate change β€” in Australia or anywhere else.

Can we stop racist AI taking over everything? Sure, but we could have stopped climate change as well | First Dog on the Moon Sinister tales of ineptitude abound as ChatGPT and its horrid friends are now found in even more places

Generative AI is not your friend or mine. Actually I don't have any friends, maybe I should get one from the computer?! What's that you say? I'm the messiah? Not a surprise tbh www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Questions!
1- they decided to pin tariffs by alleged location of origin of already imported goods?
2- how much did they think was coming from this tiny place? Weird scale of error.
3- Why 29%?
