Consider me out of the loop... What?

Nach Isengard?

Wäre das nicht nach Helms Klamm oder nach Minas Tirith?

Sorry to be that guy, but this sounds like a cybersecurity nightmare. While everybody was busy to come up with schemes that make absolutely sure that only trusted sources can update a system to avoid having malicious players push their code to users, this one just takes any rando's pile of whatever and injects it straight into the system's core? Like, that doesn't sound like a good idea.

How is Spotify supposed to "handle" anything here if the rights owner tells them that this is how it works? Like, not only didn't the first rights owner give them any means to stay updated with the rights, the new rights owner didn't notify them either that any rights were transferred to them before taking them to court. The only way to properly handle this would have been to tell them to get fucked, but that's not really an alternative if we're talking about the streaming rights for Eminem. This all seems like a setup to sue them... But who am I to tell? I'm just a jerk who read an article online. You know who should decide whether or not this was a scheme to drag Spotify to court? A judge.

Oh, wait, they did. Guess it's decided, then.

To get to it click the 3 lines or 'more', then find 'feeds' and select that

Oh, wow... I recently opened fb again and was just irritated that it didn't show any posts by my friends. Turns out they weren't inactive, fb just doesn't show them by default. What a dumb waste of a platform... I mean, what is it good for if not that? Why would I watch an endless stream of ads and clickbait?

That list issue you mentioned really confused me, so here's what's in the article about it:

The judge also noted that Spotify's agreement with Kobalt did not include a database of the songs it could, and could not, stream.

"Kobalt’s primary stated reason for that approach is that the catalogue of a large administrator like Kobalt would be routinely changing, rendering any list almost immediately out of date," she wrote.

So...

• It's not Spotify who's behaving weirdly here but the rights holder and
• the judge doesn't just seem to be okay with it, but this is mentioned as another thing that added to the impression that the rights holder made it deliberately hard for Spotify to properly determine if it had the rights to stream a song.

Here's my prognosis on how this will turn out...

System: 🚨

Humans: 🤷

Was für ein Humbug. Bei den demokratischen Parteien gibt es genug Spektrum um alle möglichen Strömungen und Meinungen abzubilden. Wer ernsthaft meint, dass niemand davon wählbar ist, kann sich ja auch selber in der Politik versuchen, das ist nämlich keineswegs nur ein System zum zugucken, man darf und soll da durchaus mitmachen. Dieses entschuldigende Geseier von "die etablierten Parteien sind nicht wählbar" ist noch viel weniger eine vernünftige Erklärung für die vermeintliche Legitimität der Wahl von Nazis als Artikel die populistischen Blödsinn wie "man ist halt gegen Flüchtlinge und Stromtrassen" als vernünftige Argumente für ein Kreuz bei den Faschisten darstellen.

Wir können uns gerne darüber unterhalten, ob manche politischen Entscheidungen gut oder schlecht waren und warum Leute eigentlich so ein Problem mit den etablierten Parteien haben. Aber wer so weit geht aus einem "ich fand es blöd wie das Heizungsgesetz gehandhabt wurde" ein "ich wähle antidemokratisch und faschistisch" abzuleiten muss sich leider tatsächlich vorwerfen lassen ziemlich doof zu sein.

If this was canon they'd play Beastie Boys

Das wird gerahmt.
