Neil Young Leaves Facebook & Instagram Over “Unconscionable” Policies for AI Chatbot Conversations With Children
-
I'm pretty sure his label put his stuff back on there, despite his wishes. I seen to remember a need article at the time describing his reaction as "disappointed". Not all of his stuff is back on there, but I guess the stuff he didn't have full control over is.
Personally, I don't listen to Joe Rogan, but I do listen to Neil Young. And Spotify is the way I typically listen to anything since they killed the SD Card on most mobile phones. So it hurt me, and I assume it hurts anyone who would want to listen to both and only gets the option of Joe Rogan. So I think having access to media is better, but I'm not the artist and I get taking a moral stance.
I think the aim is to get people to switch to a more ethical streaming service, if they want to stream music. Spotify isn't the only option.

next, all mainstream social media
I prefer „corporate social media“ or „legacy social media“ as a differentiator from the Fediverse. If anything in the Fediverse ever becomes truly mainstream, that’s completely fine

Honestly, good on him.
More people should do the same.
I quit 10yrs ago. I am almost 70. If this old fart can do it. So can you.

If you're into self hosting (or have a friend who is), I've found Navidrome (music hosting) and Substeamer app to be great open source alternatives.

I tried tidal about two years ago and they had even less of what I listen to than Spotify. But maybe I should check in again and see what's different, because nothing stays the same for long.

Substreamer appears to be free but not open source

Didn't have to look far for that heart of gold, seems he already had it.

Yeah check again. It's pretty comprehensive now and it has not yet been littered with AI songs.
Only issue I have is sometimes songs in my Playlist will no longer be licensed with them and can't play anymore which is frustrating but rare.
Aufio quality is better than Spotify. -

What is up with these CAPS? Are we copying the typographic INCONTINENCE of Trump?

I have noticed people have changed the way they type since around 2016, when trump became president. The amount of people putting "Sad." Behind a sentence is mindblowing. He gave so many people severe brainworms.

With a single word in caps like that, I read it as yelling the word loudly.
The way it's used here, by a PR conscious intermediary, it comes across more like bitter sarcasm. Like he would not let them release the statement on his behalf unless they yelled Facebook's name when calling them out. It is similar to when a child tells their sibling they aren't allowed to do something, but they say it loudly enough so that everybody understands the parent in the next room hears it too.
Edit to clarify: It is an awesome move to call them out, especially to people who blindly just use Meta's stuff. I read my own comment and worried it would sound like I was calling the Facebook call-out childish itself. It is not. It is a very good thing to fight for a better world, especially when you have the fame or resources that give you a louder voice.

Using caps for emphasis in places where formatting options don’t exist is a practice as old as the internet. I remember doing it in the usenet days.

I almost didn't get your joke there, good one.
Also, if you're into low/no budget films, Hooker With a Heart of Gold is a great one, but it's like 15-20 years old and it shows.

To me, it might signal unwillingness to work with Facebook, but still willingness to work with Meta.

I think a lot of that started ironically and then bled over to normal conversations.

This looks like the exact garbage I love, I'll definitely have to watch it.
