This affects indie and hobby artists more than mainstream artists. But tbh I never really cared for vinyl. CDs and cassettes are where it's at for hobbyists.
Buck 65 is a rapper from Canada. If you aren't familiar with him here's one of my favourite songs from him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OViINrmZUY He recently wrote this on his substack: "Not long after sending the master off, we received a message from the pressing plant (one of the bigger, more popular plants). They said there was an issue and refused to go forward with the pressing until the issue was resolved. We came to find out that they used AI to analyze the album and determined that the music was sample-based. They said they would only press the album if full details on sample clearances was provided. I went through all of this with Warner back when I signed my deal back in 2002 or whenever it was. That paperwork may or may not be collecting dust in a drawer somewhere in the world. Finding it now would be impossible and going though the whole process again - with lawyers and contracts and blah, blah, blah - would be just as difficult. I don’t even have a lawyer anymore. So we bailed and then had to scramble to find a different plant that was willing to do the job as pre-orders were already in and all copies sold out in advance." Has anyone heard anything similar? If more widespread this could kill vinyls across the board, not just hip hop but anything sample based from plunderphonics to vaporwave. The full article is here but only the first paragraph talks about this issue: https://buck65.substack.com/p/hill-and-gully-ride This isn't good.

Uh-uh. Yep. Germany isn't getting any Russian oil at all. No siree.

From the article:
“And we are shutting down — not building — coal and nuclear plants. Coal will be off the grid by 2038 at the latest.”
This isn't even true. In fact they're taking taking down wind farms to get more coal. This is just someone trying to get a dunk on Trump, like there aren't a million other actually true things they could say. Not to mention them resurrecting other coal plants when they're supposed to be phasing it out.

I doubt it. Those that would've opposed them left the party. Now if the GOP were to somehow get rid of Trump and he went on to form his own party out of spite? That could definitely end the GOP.

Pftt. Germany shout stfu about being green when they're closing nuclear plants, still taking Russian oil and bringing back retired coal plants.

Some just do it to make some extra money and save for convenience. Krita is free to download and install yourself. It's 10 bucks if you want to get it on Steam. It's perfectly within their right. Especially in KDE's instance.

It's such a bogus claim too. I could see them claiming around Hainan but the South China Sea is so far south I can't see how they could even claim it.

If it's anything like the game I don't expect it'll standout much. Unless the devs have some sort of hail-mary-plan that the episode will be so good that it revives interest in the game.

Well Truth Social is running off Mastodon so they are kind of here. Just invisible (I don't tihnk truth social is federated with anything). When I was on Kbin I at least saw quite a few conseravatives. Can't really speak to this instance since on my end it all just appears as the same.

One of these days I really gotta figure out the difference between these guys and 'regular' possums.
Always happy to see these ones in my neighbourhood.

I don't think theres anyone I despise as much as Pitchford. Whenever he comes on my feed it seems as if he does something to make me dislike him more.
Also the Beatles were garbage so his comparison is apt.

I saved a wasp from my pool the other day and it spent a few minutes just rubbing its head and body before flying off. So I assume so.

It's just another from-scratch browser in development. It's been seeing a lot of progress lately. Not as much as Ladybird but it's still making waves.

It and Servo are probably the two most exciting projects in open-source right now.
It's basically like a gamejam but instead of making a game in one weekend you have to build a web browser. Here's the github page: [https://github.com/BrowserJam/browserjam](https://github.com/BrowserJam/browserjam)

That's good to hear. Heard too many stories of people complaining there's no neighbourly communities anymore, that kids spend all their time on phones. We have a similar thing going on here but a lot us are still new at this whole thing.

Right. I was not aware of that. This whole thing is just horrible. Really hope this clause can't be enforced. Disneyland's neglect caused a death.

Guy dies in Disneyland. Family sues. Disney lawyers say he can't sue since guy-that-died had subscribed to Disney+ before and agreed to the terms of service. The terms of service he probably scrolled by when he registered say "you can't sue us". That was the most recent move I've heard.
That's an insane oversimplification of the proceedings but it appears like it's gonna come down to this clause. The clause that the user signs upon registering to Disney+ is a binding arbitration clause. You can read more about that here: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/mandatory-binding-arbitration.asp
Basically says you waive your right to sue us. Ianal btw. Also Discord has this same clause in their terms of service.

Nothing particularly. But I refuse to use a site run by the guy who runs Fandom: a horrible, ad-ridden mess that gets basic facts wrong and snuffs out other, more respectable wikis.
