The DMZ

Flyk

6:00 PM

@DavidFreitag Over a six month period, I make enough from spotify to buy several boxed salads

Simon

nom

Flyk

seems totally worth it

David Freitag

@Flyk Yeah, but let's be honest that's because you're not as popular as Nero.

Simon

rekt

Flyk

@DavidFreitag do you remember when Taylor Swift removed her catalog from Spotify?

That was because she got paid 500k over 12 months

David Freitag

6:01 PM

@Flyk Who?

Flyk

the sailor twist

Simon

Poor her, only 500k.

Flyk

I literally make more per event each week than I get from Spotify over the duration of months

David Freitag

@Flyk I don't really see the problem there.

Flyk

@DavidFreitag the plays if they were CD sales would have been worth millions

Lucas Kauffman

6:02 PM

@Flyk yea but let's be honest, who plays a song on a cd only once?

Flyk

Spotify claim to be the solution but they're merely another problem, another group trying to take another slice of a pie that is created by artists that barely get paid

Lucas Kauffman

@Flyk yea so bad only 500k a year :'(

Simon

@Flyk Most of them who streamed her tracks wouldn't have bought her CD.

Lucas Kauffman

so poor

David Freitag

@Flyk "barely get paid" -> Makes 500K

That's just a fallacy, stop being greedy.

Lucas Kauffman

6:02 PM

@Flyk you're on spotify?

Flyk

500k for Spotify's top streamed artist - who made 100+ mil over the course of a year from all other sources

There's a reason they begged her to stay

Simon

boohoo 100M

qq i poor

David Freitag

@Flyk There's a reason I can't really give two shits.

Flyk

Right, I forgot I was in the DMZ and you're the wrong people to even try talking to about this sort of thing

that try really needed those italics

etherealflux

Desktop spotify probably gives too much control to the user

Simon

6:04 PM

Any artist who expects to make bank from selling his music is a lunatic.

The money comes from the shows.

Lucas Kauffman

@Flyk what's your artist name?

Simon

@LucasKauffman pls

Lucas Kauffman

mmm?

ah yea forgot she's ubersecretive about her identity

etherealflux

on mobile, it doesn't let you just replay the same tracks over and over, giving an incentive to pay money

David Freitag

@LucasKauffman Hahaha, good luck with that. We have been begging to hear her music now for ages. She refuses to share.

Flyk

6:05 PM

@Simon strange you say that, since there's multiple massive tiers of management that seem to make plenty of money off the sale of music

etherealflux

I dig Bandcamp because it lets you listen to every track in an album 3-4 times, then pay the artist more or less directly (unlike iTunes) and get MP3/FLAC files as well as mobile streaming

minimal BS

Simon

@Flyk Hence why I said artist.

Flyk

@DavidFreitag I don't remember anybody begging

David Freitag

@etherealflux I like google music because I can listen to an unlimited amount of music with no ads for $5.99/mo.

Simon

^

David Freitag

6:07 PM

@Flyk I remember trying to get you to let me listen to some of your tracks.

And @Simon

Flyk

that wouldn't have counted as begging

that was more like a "let us hear" "no" "oh ok"

David Freitag

Not that that really changes anything.

Simon

PLEASE KALINUH I WANNA SPEND THE AFTERNOON LISTENING TO YO BEATS

Well, I'm listening to Gary Beck right now that's awesome too.

Flyk

@Simon since you put it like that

the answer is still no

David Freitag

I'm listening to FFDP, probably some Hollywood Undead next.

Simon

6:09 PM

Yeah no shit.

etherealflux

laurenbousfieldanyev3r.bandcamp.com/track/cracknight

Simon

Maybe she's Rebekah. That chick can make some neat techno beats.

raz

@Simon Were you even alive when techno was a thing?

Simon

@raz The very first iteration of Techno? Probably not.

David Freitag

@raz Last I checked techno is still a thing.

Simon

6:12 PM

Still very well alive, yep.

etherealflux

Define techno

Simon

@etherealflux The actual genre Techno.

raz

@DavidFreitag Dude the cool kids call it electronica now

Simon

@raz pls no

Flyk

@raz electronica != techno

etherealflux

6:13 PM

I think you mean electronicacore

raz

@etherealflux metalectronicore

Flyk

and please do not use "EDM" in my presence

all dance music is electronic

sod off

Simon

sod off lad

etherealflux

are you implying that dark ambient drone banjo music isn't dance?

well that's just unbelievable as dark ambient drone banjo music is very dance-worthy

raz

@Flyk Enterprise Data Modeling?

David Freitag

I can't decide if I Can't Keep Up With The Kardashians or I Just Ruined My Kodak Moment is my fave

raz

@Simon Oh I have headphones now, so what was that thing you wanted to have me listen to that one time?

Simon

@raz Was it Dubstep?

David Freitag

6:17 PM

@Flyk o/

raz

@Simon No idea

This was like 9 months ago

Simon

Well, fuck.

Yeah it was.

Rоry McCune

@Flyk FWIW, I totally agree with you on this one ..

spotify sucks behind for artists

David Freitag

Perhaps using TS as an example was a bad idea then.

raz

@Simon haha, but I can listen to things now

Simon

6:19 PM

Hang on, trying to investigate.

raz

@DavidFreitag I can't believe this actually exists

David Freitag

@raz Rule 34, man.

Oh, wait, that's a different video.

Simon

OH, it was Knife Party!

raz

@DavidFreitag hahaha

David Freitag

@Simon BBBBBBONFIRE

Simon

6:21 PM

I just gotta find out which track it was now.

@DavidFreitag Yeah I guess that could be it.

Nope, Rage Valley it is.

raz

@Simon Knife Party?

Simon

Knife Party - Rage Valley

Let's see if you enjoy this then we'll go deeper if needed.

6:29 PM

etherealflux

Simon

etherealflux

7:06 PM

They're so hip they don't even exist yet

/s

I'm not that big of a hipster :D

JukEboX

@etherealflux That's a pretty hipster answer

etherealflux

I right-clicked on something in my text editor, and one of the options that came up was "Add to iTunes as a spoken track"

this is a feature that people needed?

JukEboX

See your first problem was using Apple products

Simon

Sigh.

JukEboX

@etherealflux ^^

Rоry McCune

7:11 PM

pls you youngsters, I was listening to music that stopped being cool before you were born!

3

Simon

@RоryMcCune pls, it was never cool in the first place.

David Freitag

@RоryMcCune pls, @RoryAlsop was listening to music that stopped being cool before time itself.

@RоryMcCune listens to music that was so cool back when it actually had a measurable temperature

Rоry McCune

pls you're telling me that wasn't cool!

Simon

7:13 PM

@RоryMcCune pls, I haven't watched the Star Wars, remember?

Rоry McCune

@Simon you listen to that and say it wasn't cool

@Simon try it and see what you think then

Simon

Simon

Good. @DavidFreitag, now tell him how he messed up.

David Freitag

Oh good eager TI engineers calling me now

etherealflux

@JukEboX without the protocol prefix, like http:// , it won't know it should be a hyperlink

[At least, I think](www.google.com)

yep

David Freitag

@JukEboX No https:// before the link, and no space bettween ] and (

JukEboX

7:24 PM

But how come mine didn't come up as a Yotuube box as yours did?

Simon

etherealflux

etherealflux

7:27 PM

I don't understand theoretical physics well enough to comprehend that

David Freitag

@etherealflux Then use UpperCamelCase

You people just plainly did not read the markdown language reference that I posted.

Simon

n

etherealflux

I didn't read it ironically

so it's okay

JukEboX

I did but still got it wrong.

Simon

Let's just be happy and do the pls dance.

etherealflux

7:30 PM

@Simon pls

we can pls if we want to

we can pls your friends behind

David Freitag

@etherealflux I think that's probably frowned upon.

unless they explicitly ask I think

JukEboX

"There are other rooms, with 180 users currently talking in 80 rooms. " That means at least 2 more people are talking to each other somewhere.

Simon

@JukEboX Technology is amazing, isn't it?

etherealflux

at least one room must have three people in it

JukEboX

That's why I do it. To make rooms for 100 people to talk each other in 50 rooms

etherealflux

7:34 PM

and two people in London have the same number of hairs on their heads

thank you pigeonhole principle

Rory Alsop

@etherealflux 'cos if your friends don't pls...

Simon

they ain't yo friends

JukEboX

Anyone have experience with WhatsUpGold?

David Freitag

I was watching a stream on twitch last night and a bunch of people donated like $1500 to this guy in the span of 5 minutes

Simon

@DavidFreitag Some people really have nothing to do with their money.

David Freitag

7:41 PM

@Simon Except pay other people's rent

Simon

Yeah no kidding.

David Freitag

TBH, his job is streaming on twitch, but seriously that's a huge chunk of change.

JukEboX

Twitch = YouTube for Lazy Gamers to pay gamers tolive

etherealflux

incorrect

David Freitag

Simon

7:42 PM

incorrect

etherealflux

Twitch = Kappa Kappa Kappa Kappa Kappa Kappa PJSalt PJSalt PJSalt PJSalt PJSalt PJSalt PJSalt

David Freitag

Simon

Oh Twitch jokes, lovely.

etherealflux

7:43 PM

I want to write a script that monitors the rate at which people say "322"

David Freitag

Most of the people I watch have explicitly banned all use of kappas

JukEboX

doesn't have time to watch Twitch

Simon

Oh what was it at MineCon, some dude was yelling "Kappa" and hoping that people would sing along?

etherealflux

[cringe]

Simon

And I have a question: what the fuck is Kappa?

etherealflux

7:44 PM

it's an emoticon

Simon

.

Do I have the right to facepalm?

etherealflux

lh3.googleusercontent.com/…

okay that link made it die

David Freitag

@Simon knowyourmeme.com/memes/kappa

etherealflux

I prefer PJSalt spam

JukEboX

@Simon you don't have enough reputation for :facepalm:

David Freitag

7:45 PM

@Simon Basically, people use the kappa emote when they say something really shitty so make it look like sarcasm and get away with it.

TildalWave

@Simon only if you make an L with your thumb and index on your forehead :P

etherealflux

ideally a 50:50 mix of PJSalt and 322 spam

David Freitag

Hence why a lot of people don't like kappa emotes.

JukEboX

Sorry only thing I get close to watching someone play is Markiplier playing Happy Wheels.
