@jaffa @daringfireball Pure guesses: Anthropic wants double the bucket, and Apple finds Google to be more reliable (i.e. won't ever go under, much less likely to have huge changes of course)
@billyok @daringfireball If you are remotely interested, here is good detail is what Plant copied, stole or actually wrote himself the appeared in Led Zeppelin's first two albums: https://500songs.com/podcast/song-180-dazed-and-confused-by-led-zeppelin-part-two-inspiration-is-what-you-are-to-me/
Song 180: “Dazed and Confused” by Led Zeppelin, Part Two — “Inspiration is What You Are to Me”
For those who haven’t heard the announcement I posted, songs from this point on will sometimes be split among multiple episodes, so this is the first part of a two-episode look at the song “Dazed a…
@billyok @daringfireball Take Dazed and Confused - compare to the original Jimmy Page copied - https://music.apple.com/us/album/dazed-and-confused/1100453959?i=1100454021 a song from Led Zeppelin 1 which, couldn't be more blatant plagiarism from the Jake Holmes original. "Inspired" it ain't. Plant didn't even bother changing the name of the song. He didn't add Holmes' name to the songs credits until very recently.
Nonetheless this knowledge in no way diminishes enjoying the Zeppelin version.
@billyok @daringfireball Welcome to humanity. You do realize that everything from most of Shakespeare to Led Zeppelin by today's copyright standards was "plagiarized"?
Everything is copy. From the greatest writers to the greatest composers beg, borrow of steal from all the art that preceded them. If you love a Shakespeare play or a Led Zeppelin song and then suddenly stop liking it because its origins are demonstrated to you in detail that's on you.

@DenisCOVIDinfoguy Welcome to the latest version of fibromyalgia: there are illnesses that a portion of the medical establishment does not believe in. The problem is always illnesses whose cause can't be readily identified -- in the case of fibromyalgia: "While the exact cause is unknown, it is believed to involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and immune factors. "
Long COVID is another illness like fibromyalgia where neither the cause nor symptoms can be given a clear definitions
@counternotions Best movie with a Nagra as the star: Diva

@gruber The Warriors has aged very well -- a great film. All the ones at the time trying to censor it - because reasons -- look even more foolish now than they did back then.
I do miss some of the NYC subway graffiti from the era, but the subways are always both magical and annoying
@caseyliss Sorry, we NYers keep watching subtitled movies and other off the beaten path stuff. It gets worse -- foreign films often have multiple titles in different languages. For instance Kiyoshi Kurosawa's best film is referred to either as Kairo or Pulse.
Film buffs like me should go back to their artsy movie theater and stop bothering normal people ;)
@thomholwerda @daringfireball The Verge (as they often are) is full of shit. As always, an unhappy bunch of Android users who seem to make up a majority of The Verge's reader base, thus constantly trying to appease them.
@caseyliss Guessing there is no way to import existing movie list from an app like DVDPedia?
That said, it is very good, very useful, fantastic UI! Thank you!!!
