A while ago i made electro/metal Billy Idol - Rebel Yell remake.

I sampled the original vocals but besides that it’s a complete remake.

It’s on every platform (yt, spotify, …) except soundcloud, because soundcloud insisted on me having a master licence id.

I purchased a mechanical license for like 20$ so that i was allowed to cover the song legally.

But i would have needed to purchase a master license because i used samples from the original. Master licenses are difficult to get, very expensive and they decide on a case to case basis.

Impossible for tiny artists. 99% just risk it.

So i’m not really legal here. If the rights holder ever finds out i will probably at least have to split or give them all the revenue. Maybe even pay a fine.

But they rarely bother with tiny artists. My remake is years old and i still only have around 300 views on yt. So i’m basically invisible.

Also i found out that Billy Idol likes that their music gets covered, so they won’t actively hunt for tiny bands/artists.

If one somehow gets huge this might change of course.

Other rights holders might actively hunt for you though.

I’m in germany too. I used Bitwig & Reaper for this one. Blender for the video/visualizer.

what would be a good stack to replace discord?

teamspeak + signal(desktop client) + ???

i think it is necessary to occasionally see what ‘the other side’ is pushing, just to be prepared.

so i’d say autotagging posts pointing to certain domains with a “warning” label (like for example https://ground.news/ is doing) might be the better approach.

but lemmy afaik does not have a feature like this; so banning might be the next best thing 🤷🏻‍♀️

hmm 🤔 too late for before pics.

but it was all black and moldy, could barely see the white anymore.

Mixed a thick paste of stuff i thought might work: baking powder, a bit of oxy-action(?) washing-powder, dish-soap, isopropyl alcohol & water.

I then applied it with an old toothbrush and let it sit for 5 mins before wiping it off.

Not sure which of those ingredients did the trick 🤷🏼‍♂️

wie sicher bist du, dass du mensch bist?

Am 12. Dezember wollen die Finanzminister planen, wie die Pakete früher mit Gebühren belegt werden können. Die EU hatte unabhängig davon bereits im Mai beschlossen, kleine Pakete mit einer Bearbeitungsgebühr von zwei Euro pro Paket zu belegen. Diese Gebühr wird ebenfalls ab 2026 eingeführt.

A fresh post might shortly dip into -1 or -2 territory, but posts hitting -3 or worse are the ones i’d like to be able to filter out as well.

oh man, you got my hopes up there for a sec.

sadly it didn’t work.

what if mustard?!

it’s so annoying that i’m totally aware but still unable to trick myself into starting

which part of that makes you think of having a stroke?

ja, hast recht. macht spaß ☺️

then how will we pay for pitchforks and guillotines?!

i write millions of notes for everything.

to that i add a similar amount of reminders.

not just for learning etc.

also for things like the first todos of the next day: shower, prepare food, pack this, …

for remembering for short-medium timeranges very simple notes suffice.

i know lots of stuff. i just can’t access it without a trigger.

I accidentally watched a few Asmongold videos since the TrumpStein thing hit.

He seems to have a huuuuge youtube following.

Today he released a video regarding this incident, all somber and rational for like 10 minutes about how both sides have to cool down their rhetoric etc. And then out of nowhere be goes all in on how dangerous and crazy the people on the left are and how it’s all their fault - for the next 7 mins.

Dude, did you forget what you yourself just said in this very same video?!

44000 comments at that point. 95% rightwing madness.

I knew something isn’t right with this guy and his followers but that was kinda shocking.

why the fuck am i awake?!
