Universal Music says that it will pull its song catalog from TikTok tomorrow at midnight, as the companies are unable to reach a deal on rights. Huge implications. (twitter.com)

The inventor of chess can't do anything that affects your life any more. Companies can, and do.

No matter how far we move the goal posts, I'm still going to base what I enjoy on what I enjoy, and not on what corporations are doing or not doing. I find it a bit sad that people would let what entity controls something to dictate their enjoyment of it.

3 months old account, could you possibly be..............

a reddit transplant?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Your account is 2 months older than mine. What's your point?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Well I (along with a majority of users on Lemmy) left reddit because the shitty decisions being made on top.

I just think it's a funny coincidence for someone implying that companies not caring about their clientele isn't an issue to have joined the same platform at the same time as the masses because ... drumroll... the platform's leadership was shitting on its end users.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Who implied it wasn't a problem? Certainly not I.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

The people who created the modern form of chess are long since dead, so they don't have any idea of my existence at all. Yet I still enjoy playing chess. Should I not enjoy the game because the people who created it don't care about me at all?

So what's your message here mean?

I took it as 'i don't care about how companies behave and neither should you'.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

How does one get from me enjoying chess despite the fact that the creators don't care about me...to me not caring what companies do? That's a massive logical leap.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Hey, that was your analogy for the topic at hand(which was companies behaving poorly iirc), wasn't it?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

No.

Lmao okay. Here's a fun riddle.

What does everyone who interacts with you and the creators of chess have in common?
