I don't know that information. My understanding is that Apple is right behind Qobuz/Tidal for percentages paid to artists, and significantly better than Spotify/Meta.
Apple's price increases on Apple Music have not even kept up with inflation. Adjusted for inflation, Apple Music costs less today than it did when they launched it in 2015.
The price for Apple Music, just like the price for everything else in the economy, has inflated.
When Apple Music launched it was $9.99 for an individual. That's $13.98 in 2026 dollars.
In October 2022 they raised the price to $10.99. That's $12.32 in 2026 dollars.
Now it's $11.99 in 2026 dollars. Adjusted for inflation, that's the cheapest they've ever priced it.
Family plan price went up a bit, adjusted. $19.99 over 2022's $19.04.
You don’t understand my point that every time you vote, it is not a foregone conclusion that change will occur?
You've replied with an uncharitable and inaccurate summarization of my comment. I understand this claim perfectly well, I was just surprised that your comment in general is just a word cloud and doesn't actually elevate your claim into a "point" by supporting it or expanding on the thought. Your contributions to this thread continue to be an incoherent gish gallop mess.
I'm still waiting for you to engage the rest of us on the subject. Find a point and try to make it. Be responsive to the other people in the conversation. Right now your behavior makes me think you're not discussing this in good faith and your intent is malicious not collegial.
Your response here makes little sense to me. You open with the claim that "On every vote you move towards a better outcome" is "fundamentally untrue." But then your response continues on without addressing this point at all. I was waiting for you to explain why you believe it's untrue, but you never did.
Instead you raised two different concerns:
Voters who are in an extreme minority in their area have little ability to affect change.
People don't vote because they don't like any of their options.
I don't see how either of those two claims relate to one another or how they support your claim that the comment upthread is untrue.
P&R dropped one primary cast member in season 2 and rewrote the rest of the characters significantly. Changed personalities and shifted relationships, it was a big shift in tone and cast.
They scaled back a lot of inter-character drama, made all the characters more relatable, and made the depicted workplace more cohesive and less adversarial.
Prusa never leads the pack for innovation and their prices aren’t low. But it’s a company I feel good about supporting and they make solid machines you can actually own.
You're proselytizing mercurial in a thread full of git users. Migration is implied in your comment, even if you didn't literally use those words.
"Simpler" is not necessarily an improvement and might actually be a downside.
"Intuitive" is not universal and might not even be accurate for other people with different experiences.
What value would there be in reporting what’s around if what’s around is all disposable, ephemeral, rotating addresses?
Apple devices rotate WiFi and Bluetooth MAC addresses for security, I assume Android devices do the same.
The utility of the term “AI” depends on what you’re trying to communicate.
AI is a vague term used colloquially to describe a variety of dissimilar and unrelated technologies each carrying a unique mixture of pros and cons.
What an asinine response. Of course the other commenter does not think this. Nobody does.

There certainly doesn't seem to be any reason to disfavor Apple on this front.

The photograph in the post depicts $100 bills.

Parks and Rec does not follow the pattern you describe. Season 2 was a big format and tone switch.
Agree completely. I don't even think it's valid to call this a "tragedy" insomuch as it's a predictable and unsurprising outcome of cave diving.

That’s a perfectly viable approach for users who aren’t interested in forge tooling and just need git push/pull capability.
There’s some spooky shit going on back there. And it’s green, too!
There is no evidence that Iran was not honoring the JCPOA, which included unprecedented inspections and oversight.
Plus make billions with insider betting on polymarket and friends.

I read just fine. Maybe you must learn to chill.
