Spotify has raised prices for the second time in a year, with no new benefits, after its CEO sparked outrage by claiming the cost of creating 'content' is 'close to zero'
  • Just for funzies, my Spotify family plan in Canada is $17.84 CAD, which works out to $13.05 USD at current exchange rate.

    Usually Canadians are screwed harder on, well pretty much everything, so I'm surprised that Americans are paying more for this. Guess it's "what the market will bear" or similar nonsense. Please discuss.

  • [Rant] I swear to fucking god. Windows is harder to use than Linux. Have any of you ever USED Windows lately? Holy fuck.
  • Not true on Windows 11 home that ships with new hardware. You need to disable all network connections and run some terminal commands to set up a local account. It is not convenient at all. Granted you can easily add a local account, after you have set it up with a Microsoft account, but that sort of defeats the purpose.

  • Adguard ad blocker is fantastic for Android and desktop, although it is not free, in my opinion it is worth the price. It blocks all annoying things, including popups.

    Unlock Origin is a solid free choice, a close second in performance.

  • Northern leaders call for change as grocers fleece federal subsidy
  • What are you talking about? The grocery executives told us the were not profiteering and that they have very slim margins. They are obviously making record profits from high volume. Never mind that most people are buying less foodbecause they can't afford it /s

  • 3D printed a featherboard
  • There is another way I find 3D printing and woodworking are similar:

    3D printing: buy a $500 printer an $30 worth of filament, make a $20 feather board

    Woodworking spend thousands on equipment and hundreds on wood to save buying a $200 coffee table

    I still love both things though....

  • The beaver is Canada which passed a law required the big Tech companies pay Canadian news companies for content they post on their platforms and receive ad revenue from. Facebook and Google are acting all butt hurt and refusing to post news content in Canada instead of paying for it.
