Hat niemand kommen sehen!

@revengeday I would have loved to give you a bit more of a piece but I had struggle finding whats even going on until someone told me.

But tbh I can atleast why they would lay-off the devs seeing how little dev-work is actually needed for the site I presume.

But certainly one should be able to make a differntiated argument you know.

Not much has happened to the core-service itself at bandcamp. They still are the best platform to support artists (bandcamp-fridays) but you do certainly see they cut down the stuff on the editorial side and now the dev-site.

Not so horrible to boycot the whole platform over right now but enough of a glimpse to maybe make some precautions and diversify where one can find any artists tracks...

There is also way to use bandcamp and not give them your money if you really wanna (until they get rid of bandcamp friday)

Also I do think to remember that bandcamp pledged against AI as well. The other thing I know that of that has relevant size is deezer but they only do streaming but are more actively going against AI

And the other platform I would use is maybe iTunes since you can easily buy and download music there (but no stuff like FLAC against bandcamp)

But as an artist cutting ties with bandcamp if you heavily used and marketed yourself over it seems like a bad financial idea tbh

So I guess keep using and built something better in the meantime.

@desea good I got left behind years ago!

@desea I do not trust the process nor the product!

@snow Well I have the most basic ass fiber anyway. 250/50 is a disgrace for fiber but 5 times what I had before. So I guess its cool.

Mostly I won't notice a different day-to-day. Just arch-updates and game stuff going faster and upload being not as shit

@snow doing well generally. Got some fiber installed yesterday and now fighting my inner anxiety demons to go to a cafe / bar tomorrow

@gettie how is it then that you have to pay for that lol? Thats obviously a thing between the landlord and the prev tenant.

@snow says the girl that breached fedi containment multiple times just to make it back

How are you snow?

@gettie I mean I get the cleaning (I do so as well since I don't really have the time to sweep the hallway myself) but the repairs are usually only on the landlord

(even if you where to break something if it not like on purpose you know)

@gettie Its not like you have a choice sometimes right. Either you have housing or you don't. Market is very broken.

I am quite happy with where I am atm and the landlord is not shit. Actually fairly nice even

@revengeday what did I miss with bandcamp? I know they were like bought by big music some years ago but stuff like bandcamp friday still be going on. Did they make it worse somehow or is this community drama?

(I would love to give a more in-depth answer but I am kinda out of the loop on the meta-stuff)

@gettie @fristi @mametsuko Well... My flat is kinda expensive as well soooo... But yeah I get what you mean. I can be quite happy with my 60sqm for 950€ all utility included

@gettie @fristi @mametsuko sounds fun. In germany its not that easy but eventually they can get you out when you are overdue a lot.

I dunno how much more they can ask for after renovations though

@fristi @gettie @mametsuko tying rent to a value of a house is a nice recipe for overinflated house values as well....

Germany generally wants the okay of the tenant other than one loophole.

We have like indexes where you can check out how much a flat/house costs in relation to the mean of the city and for stuff that is comparable to yours. (comparable rent)

The landlord could come to you with that every 15 months and no more than 20% in 3 years based on said index. And It can never be more than the rent index. So mostly you can get more rent by having new tenants.

Obvs. the index also generally has upward trajectory but not as hard as basing on value of a home alone.

If all conditions are met the landlord demand your okay until a certain deadline. If you not okay it they could sue you to pay them the index rent (not some fantasy number)

@fristi @gettie @mametsuko But fristi ze inflation keeps going up and everything getting more expensive! Its only natural!

I wish wages worked like that man.

Is dutch really that lopsided so the landlord can just ask for more?

In germany atleast you have to ask the tenant if they are okay with it.

@quad The hair gives it away atleast in the full pic

@quad So it was her had an inkling

@quad with the new pfp. But who is it?
