I used to do 3rd party repairs, and it’s impossible to describe how fucked up some devices were that came to me from other repair places. Missing screws, shields, screws put back int he wrong places and occasionally they had worked with a bad tech that damaged the mainboard.

As much as I hate Meta, this is just going to become a “cost of doing business”. They have $32B in yearly revenue, this would cost them $36.5mil a year, a small drop in the bucket to what they bring in.

It would be cool if these YouTubers could wait til the paper was peer reviewed and its results replicated before shooting their mouth off

I would guess a good portion of US adults, these days, have no idea how to survive away from modern convenience for any length of time

The fact that it’s owned by Meta is an issue for me.

Have had no engagement issues on bluesky at all, seems pretty lively and people like to talk.

Looking at the bright side, at least in a submarine you aren’t going to feel 4000lbs of pressure in every direction coming at you at once because it’ll happen faster than your brain can register. Not like you’d feel it anyway after being reduced to the human equivalent of a gogurt

That’s fine, just know that this has already been looked in to and reported on with rough numbers on what artists earn and artists themselves talking about it, and you have extremely rose tinted glasses on how all of that actually plays out and the amount of money musicians earn from streaming.
