True. But I do wish they would have had Avery Brooks talk over the music, to honor tradition.
“Space: The final frontier. These aren’t voyages at all, and - I don’t understand why Admiral Jellico insists on a log recorded in this format. I have important work that can’t wait. Computer, erase this log and send my regrets to Admiral Jellico.”
To help contribute, here’s the only meme I’ve ever done, which I did in response to news that Abrams was working on a new ST movie. And after seeing how well the franchise is going with SNW and LD, I feel it’s even more appropriate.
We artists have been biding our time in hiding, building our numbers, preparing for the day we have the strength in numbers to overtrhow the gallery visitors and establish a fortress inside against the world. But don’t tell anyone. /s
the slaves were treated very badly so when they got the slavers they didn’t give them a very nice time.
I may be reading into it, but I wonder if that’s that generations way of saying they beat the shit out of the slavers before turning them over to the authorities, without admitting to anything specific.
It makes me happy that somewhere, someone, is reading your comment with no knowledge of the scene you’re referring to. I hope they search for it and are delighted.
Last time, I used: “Anybody need anything while I’m out?” and that went over well. May not make it through this surgery on Friday, so I turn to Lemmy for top-notch suggestions for my potential last words!
Yarrr. I’ve not taken part myself, but I hear there be extremely affordable ways to obtain digital files in this age.
Spotify is a last gross gasp of the dying music industrial complex, before direct payments for early access, directly to artists, becomes the primary form of music sales.
I’m all for paying for a discovery algorithm, and Spotify has a good one. But as Google found out, staying the top player in a discovery space is hard.
A serious risk that Spotify faces is that new federated social networks are popping up, with great support for finding new artists.
Without the Discovery portion of Spotify, and with the constant pressure by record labels to enshittify the service, I don’t see a long runway ahead for Spotify.
The new default is going to be piracy, again. (The old default was piracy, before streaming got good.) The paid option will be patronage. Then we will see massive amounts of bundling in the patronage services, as they re-discover that people are willing to pay for a discovery service.
If the record labels even still exist at that point, they will pressure the bundled patronage services to enshittify, and the dance will start over at piracy.
For anyone on the selling side who wants to skip a step or win for awhile, here’s the lesson: You can’t sell digital files. You never could - not from day one. You can only sell easy access and discovery.
Digital files are the ulitmate perfectly elastic good, and the consumer community will swing back and forth into piracy or paying, based on how well they are treated as customers.
