Touring and merch have always been the only way artists could make money. The albums and videos are the advertisement.

Look at Samsung's history. This is their MO, it's how they became the Samsung we know today - straight up steal actual product designs, not just concepts, not just copy closely, a compete steal, and sell until arrested.

Search "samsung employees swallow evidence"

Fun times.

Ah, I see. That stinks. The article is actually a good read.

Seems like he's more "on the edge," if you will, he doesn't seem to have gone full MAGA. But you really can't support a single bit of the current Republican Party's agenda, it's all shit. So I can understand folks getting the sweats about it.

I'm far left, but I actually don't hate on the 2nd Amendment. It was a pivotal moment in US history, fortifying the power of the people and its rule over government.

But at the time the 2nd Amendment was written, the most powerful weapon that the average person would have had access to was the flintlock musket. The flintlock had a relatively short effective range of around 50 to 100 yards and took time to reload after each shot.

It would stand to reason that much stronger laws are required to compensate for the amount of fire power available to people now.

This is a great video, love this one, thanks for sharing!

If everyone has another 20 minutes, John Oliver delves into the topic some more.

We should still try to recycle as member of our community (and the world populace) but it's the corporations that need to be held accountable and forced to take action. Because as it stands now they are lobbying hard to shift the blame to consumers and make it difficult to ban single use products, while also avoiding packaging innovations and laws that promote such change - 'cause, you know...profits.

That's actually a good question. Surely Mastodon and Lemmy instances should have also seen an uptick in registrations?

A long time coming.

If you've been looking for a reason to upgrade your AirPods, Apple hasn't really given you any for a while.

Thankfully, Apple could finally be gearing up to introduce new models to its earbud lineup.

 

Apple updated its Apple Maps on the web feature to add support for the Firefox browser this week. Firefox users on Mac, PC, and iPad can now visit Apple Maps on the web, and the site works as intended.

 

I accidentally picked too large a cup size and realized I have no idea how to stop the brew. I remember this happening once at an office Keurig and we just opened the lid making a hot mess everywhere. Is there really no way of emergency stopping the brew?
