I’m curious, how many times do I need to listen to an album on Spotify for the artist to receive as much money as if I’d have bought the CD

@Gargron https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2018/12/25/streaming-music-services-pay-2019/ So at .99 a song, that'd be 198 times at best. @Gargron The problem here lies in the copyright laws, which are different in each country...Spotify exploits the general flaws in the vague international rules, because there are no physical 'copies' involved in streaming. So it offers a payment per-play, just like the radio stations used to (and still do). Copyright covers copies, not plays, which are governed by individual country agreements with broadcasters, and Spotify is not classed as a broadcaster under most of the agreements... Posted 58 minutes ago folks... A new Casey Crescenzo (the person behind The Dear Hunter) song...

@Gargron big yikes. I might be missing the boat with all this DeFi stuff... back in my day we just had Bitcoin. I can't keep up with all these new tokens lol @Gargron Not really fair to take such a poorly-executed and borderline scamm"project" and put on the same stand of all the serious people working on the crypto space. Recommended read: https://blog.rotki.com/2020/08/13/sustainable-defi/ Some YouTube uploads of The Dear Hunter albums have an incorrect plot interpretation in the descriptions 😬 I'm so happy with my new frying pan. So much more fun to cook things on a larger surface.

I'm feeling so exhausted from trying to hit a daily steps goal lately. I walk about 4x more now than I did on average in 2019

Why did they not number the Pirates of the Caribbean movies? How am I supposed to tell which is which chronologically?!

@Gargron Yes, 10k is easy even for a programmer. Just needs a short stroll before bed. Those who break 20k need to do something specifically to make it happen (unless they work on their feet - I have a friend who works at warehouse for UPS, he throws up to 17,000 shipping boxes during his shift at peak times).
"Germany plans to dim lights at night to save insects" Maybe we'll get to see more stars at night as a result of this as well?

Just tried milk made out of oats for the first time. Taste isn't quite what I expected but it seems to work

@Gargron Oatly Barista edition is my favorite so far. It's a little thicker than normal oat milk. |
@Gargron That's what will be written on my tombstone.
