This is a personal collection of things I find around the internet.

Alright, so somehow you found this place. Here's what to expect:

Posts will be random; there are absolutely no themes here.
Posts may be overwhelmingly frequent (sorry about your sub feed).
Posts may be unbearably infrequent; you may forget you subscribed here.
Posts may be oh, so very boring to you.

Due to the nature of this place, you may find a bunch of stuff that you don't care about, but you may also find a new passion.

So, the gist is, this is a place where I'll share random things, and you'll discover the internet with me.

Oh yeah, I didn't advertise this place anywhere, so hey, how did you even get here?

Check out the sister sub where you discover music with me! !andromusiccollection@lemm.ee

So Sony bought the competition, then shut down their own offering...

I understand this sucks from an accessibility perspective, but also, how the FUCK is this not anti competitive?

Money. If you have enough laws, rules, ethics whatever become non issues.

I mean, yeah, agreed, they're not going to actually get any repurcussions, obviously. I meant more, why aren't articles/people mad about it. We all know the laws don't apply to them

How is this not a contractual violation? If you buy a company, you take on their contracts. You don't get to throw them out the window.
