Spotify's plans to take money from subscribers but never pay a fucking dime to anyone else , ever.
I love that they have Ultima 4 available for free. I spent SO many hours in that world. The "what kind of person are you" value judgment questions at the beginning were remarkably heavy for introspective teenage me.

Industry groups argued that those museums didn’t have “appropriate safeguards” to prevent users from distributing the games once they had them in hand. They also argued that there’s a “substantial market” for older or classic games, and a new, free library to access games would “jeopardize” this market. Perlmutter agreed with the industry groups.
So as long as someone, somewhere, might make a penny off of them, they can't be free. Insert your own metaphor here.

Funny how they use the phrase "with it's data" when it's our data.
Equally funny how there's no mention of how users who no longer have active accounts are supposed to tell Xitter that they don't want to share what they entered. Musk has openly flaunted law before (even to its own employees), so it's pretty silly for people to think that they would abide by what users choose in the first place.

I believe him when he talks about this stuff. I get his point of not putting effort into building up a platform that can hold him and his audience hostage.
but here's the good part.
People bailing on Twitter to join Bluesky is reasonably easy (there are tools available to find your friends on the new system). If it's easy to bail on Twitter to join Bluesky, it will be similarly easy to bail on Bluesky to join Mastodon, if/when that becomes necessary.
