Are billionaires as much of a problem in China as they are in the west? I thought they already had way less, and the ones that do exist still have to bend over backwards to appease the CCP.

Yeah that doesn't work if you live in Seattle.

Dunno about all of them, but the first three are very solid representations of their genres.

Maybe throw in a comedy, like Food Wars to round it out.

Kiss me by Sixpence none the richer?

Dreams by the Cranberries? Or any other song by them, really.

Was that the actual quote?

If so, what's the source?

Nightlys are not things you should recommend for production use. Especially for (potentially) non tech savvy teachers and students.

Actually while typing that out I thought more about the technical architecture of such distributed alternative streaming service that pays artists fairly, and it does sound like it could be fun to build.

But everyone in the fediverse already knows how difficult/impossible it is to get the average person to switch to open source software. It would most likely be a waste of time.

Because they have all the customers.

If you don't like the rate the current major platforms give, you could choose to use one of the many alternatives that (presumably) exist.

And if they really don't, I could build you one in a couple of weekends with all the open source resources and federation protocols available today.

But none of that matters because all the paying customers are on those major platforms. And until you convince users to move off those platforms, you're basically their bitch. They'll pay you whatever they happen to feel like paying you.

They ship a version of Windows 10 without any of those included. It's called Windows 10 LTSC (Long Term Support Channel).

Try installing that to never be bothered again.
