After almost a year with mine I don't think I'll go back to a normal phone. Having a small phone that fits in the palm of my hand and I can make full size works for me personally. If I didn't have the external screen and it was a full sized phone that opened I'd probably agree.

EA wants to place in-game ads in its full-price AAA games, again (www.techspot.com)

EA has tried this before, with predictable results. In 2020, EA Sports UFC 4 included full-screen ads for the Amazon Prime series The Boys that would appear during 'Replay' moments. These were absent from the game when it launched, with EA introducing the ads about a month later, thereby preventing them from being highlighted in...

I was going to read all of this until I got to "provide some option to pay more and not have ads" . Zero chance this would ever end in a consumer friendly way after that first payment.

This is the most Omni Consumer Products situation.

I can believe it. Every commercial break is an ad for sports betting.

They started moving people to the Federated server last year to test things. I didn't see this article but people were openly talking about moving over on Bluesky. So thanks for posting this because I always see people say it's not getting Federated on Lemmy, but see people on Bluesky say it is, confusing.

Music Piracy Is Back, Baby (gizmodo.com)

"Muso, a research firm that studies piracy, concluded that the high prices of streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music are pushing people back towards illegal downloads. Spotify raised its prices by one dollar last year to $10.99 a month, the same price as Apple Music. Instead of coughing up $132 a year, more consumers...

Piracy creates an endless loop of artists taking advances and eventually losing royalties. That's just what I've seen growing up in the music /film/ TV industry and briefly working in both. Screw labels and Spotify but go support artists and actually buy stuff.

No they don't. I don't have a problem with let me listen to this to see if I should buy it. That's totally understandable. People who just do it to get everything free is what I have a problem with. If you really like the work find a way to support them because those numbers open doors to bigger opportunities.

Totally agree on the show's and I've seen some big name artists at small shows randomly. Also some really good merchandise.
