Spotify officially demonetises all tracks with under 1,000 streams
This is just an insanely bone-headed move that is so pointless.
These artists don't even get paid that much money, and yet Spotify wants to cut off their revenue.
I'm done with Spotify. In fact, I think I'm flat-out done with music streaming services. All of them are exploitative. back to buying digital albums for me.
Just reading @truthaboutlifewithpku's new blog post, titled "Learning to be Thankful for PKU". It is an incredibly humbling blog post about having PKU in a country where support is available.
If you see this post, do you mind boosting it? I'm trying to get my PKUTalk.com server to reach more lovely folks on Mastodon, and the easiest way to do so is a #boost.
So you may be wondering what places to go now that #reddit is slowly going away, but luckily there are federated alternatives, like #lemmy and #kbin! Even better - you don’t need an account to post there!
Absolutely stupid, not at least surprising. PWAs mean that less developers will be forced to use Apple's IAP and subscribe to their yearly fee (£80), and thats a significant cut to Apple's bottom line.
If you haven't heard, @poconnor is donating half of her profits from "Living with PKU" to the NSPKU - a fantastic charity that helps people with the rare disorder called PKU!
And if you buy both of her books, you get 25% off!
I'm going to be sharing some photo album of the slides at the ESPKU event. This will be a thread! 🧵

People who are over the age of 30 and play video games on Xbox or PlayStation, when was the last time you played games on your games console, and if you can, please elaborate which console and when?
I’m trying to see how many of said folks are actively playing these consoles. I fully expect younger generations to play on said devices, but I do wonder how the over 30s get along with time management, cost of games, cost of living etc how they are managing…
Boil frozen mogo chips for 15-20 mins until mogo chips are soft in the center (like potato, you got to poke them with a butter knife to see if it's properly cooked or not)
I have witnessed the worlds thickest wasp trying to get out of my room.
At first I ran out of my room like the coward I am, and then I came back half an hour later to see if the wasp had gone.
Still there.
So I think “hmm, maybe the window isn’t quite big enough and curtains are stopping it from leaving” so I open the window wider and move the curtain back. Come back half an hour later.
As you may know, I’ve been talking about @poconnor and her book “Living with PKU” (buy here: https://pigpen.page/books/) because half of the profits go to the NSPKU charity during June and July.
But it might help to explain what the NSPKU does, so here goes (may be a 🧵):
