To be fair, Spotify might suck for artists, but for users it’s a good value in my opinion, and the price was $9.99 for like 10 years. I don’t begrudge them a small increase. In fact, I wish all the price increases we’ve seen lately would be so modest.
I remember when it was FutureSplash Animator, and my young mind was blown by the possibilities of animations in only a few kb.
$20 to remove ads, $100 for Ultra.
Imagine the confusion when people order a “Big O”.
Yeah… But maybe not ANYONE… “Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta has already registered an ‘X’ logo in connection to ‘online social networking services’ and ‘social networking services in the fields of entertainment, gaming, and application development.’”
Kinda like the names of his kids.
“…so that character came in the third season, but actually they were an extra in the first season, so it’s kind of like…hey…are you leaving? To the bathroom? Oh ok, let me follow. So, as I was saying, they became a member of the fulltime cast in the third…oh it’s ok, there’s a partition next to the urinal, I can’t see anything. So, like I said, they only came in the third season, but they wanted to be in the second season, but the producer at the time had a grudge…hey…where are you going? A stall? Oh ok, well you can still hear me, so let’s find two side-by-side stalls. So anyway, wait until you hear what happened once the fourth season started…”
That would have been a fantastic idea, tbh.

The fediverse is the way. But there’s nothing wrong with browsing reddit, just as long as you remember to keep coming here. We need to get more reddit posts mirrored to fediverse communities. There are scripts that will update a lemmy community when its reddit counterpart gets a new post. This is great because it encourages conversation here even if a post started on reddit.
The amount of creativity Adobe products unleashed upon the world is staggering. Decades ago they were groundbreaking. Just about any piece of media you have ever seen from the past 35+ years has been touched by them in some way.
The Adobe we know now was not the Adobe of back then. Just like the Apple of 1985 is not anything like the Apple we have today. Back then it was about actually developing useful technology, and not just coming up with innovative ways to squeeze every last dollar from every possible customer for the same bloated and tired piece of software.
Back then you had a problem (eg. people wanted to create artistic stuff), and then you had a solution (powerful software to help you). Now software like that is everywhere, so the only way for companies to “compete” is by adding bloat and jacking up the price. Hence the Adobe we see today, full of pointless crap and complex licensing schemes.
