Can we all at least agree that counting numbers are a joke? Sometimes they start at zero … sometimes they start at one …

Yes. Since Halloween is the last day of October, the 31st, it’s kinda never on the 13th. So yeah, it’s a shitpost.

- Comment on Thomas Edison was the Elon musk of his era 6 months ago:
For what it’s worth, it’s been suggested that Musk’s takeover of Tesla was opportunistic, and against the desire of Tarpenning and Eberhard.
From my research, Tarpenning was pressured into quitting, and Eberhard was fired by the board of directors for lying to the board. Since Elon was chairman of the board at the time, it’s plausible (and even hinted at) that Elon played dirty to push through this firing.
I cannot say for sure if they would have handled the company more ethically then Musk, but I am personally uncomfortable hanging them out to dry simply on what could have been.
That said, I agree that employee co-ops are a top tier business organization structure.

Bondage burgers, dominant drinks, and sadistic salsa masochistic music. Sounds fun!

I work at a Managed Service Provider for IT and we have a ton of GPO policies that are labeled “VIP”, which is internally understood as ‘there’s no reason for this policy to exist except that someone in power demanded we create it’. Many of those policies are dialed down to a single or small handful of people.
- Comment on Soundcloud doesn't let me comment from the browser anymore 1 year ago:
Yeah, since most of the public instances only make available creative commons stuff it’s better if you have a mood than particular artists. I suspect if most people switched they could find new artists to meet their tastes within a year.
My gut suspects that an artist with a good patron following probably has as much take home pay as a similar artist that signed a record deal. If true (and that’s definitely an if), why prop up up an industry that exists to siphon as much value away from artists as possible?

Fair. Thanks for indulging my FLOSS plug then. Beatbump sounds nice though.

There’s a workaround for this issue.
- Go to open.audio or funkwhale.audio/#get-started
- Register for an account.
- Enjoy over 30k hours of creative commons music, freely shared.
FunkWhale is another decentralized service like Lemmy or Mastodon. (It also runs on ActivityPub under the hood.) Most of the publicly available pods only share creative commons material, simply because it’s the easiest to share, but artists can share under whatever license works for them.
If you’re technically inclined, you can run your own pod and load whatever music you own onto it, and share it with others (I presume you’ll take care not to share beyond whatever license you have permits). Pods sharing pirated music exist, and they obviously should be avoided. Even if you’re not technically inclined, many pods allow you to upload some amount of music, you’ll want to double check the server’s rules to determine if that can be used for your personal library.
