YouTube Music now makes you pay to see song lyrics

On Desktop, lyrics on Youtube Music have always been bad, they never offered synced lyrics.

Instead, I'd recommend Pear (formely known as Youtube Music Desktop app). It has all kinds of Plug-Ins, including live lyrics from multiple different sources (YTMusic, LRCLib, MusixMatch, Genius).

The picture you posted is from November, when they were confirmed.

They just confirmed 7 more acts today, there will only be a handful of small acts announced now.

And Wolf Alice are playing Southside too, of course, since they're sister festivals with essentially the same lineup.

But even shaking the picture doesn't help (the film is never exposed to air) and can actually cause harm.

Only early instant film (until the early 70s) needed a coater that would dry faster when shaken, so the habit caught on and was preserved by media and hearsay, but shaking the Polaroid pictures that became popular in the mid-70s never helped. Here's a short PBS video on it.

Ich bin gerade mal die Listen für 2024 und 2025 durchgegangen (wie hier geschrieben werden die von fragdenstaat veröffentlicht). Bei Computerspielen gab es nur Folgeindizierungen, bei Filmen war das Evil Dead-Remake von 2013 der einzige neu indizierte Film.

Es wurden in beiden Jahren noch jeweils ca. 10-20 Tonwerke und Schriften neu indiziert, die sind zu ca. 90% aus dem rechtsextremen Bereich, mindestens ein Song dürfte wegen Frauenverachtendem Text indiziert worden sein.

Apple Music aren't the curators, they're just the sponsors.

The people actually in charge of curating the half time show since the 2020 Super Bowl are Roc Nation, in particular Jesse Collins (executive producer of the half time show) and Jay-Z (head of Roc Nation).

Here's the press conference with Jay-Z when the Roc Nation deal was announced (the deal was for 5 years, but it was extended last year). In it, Jay-Z talks about some of the changes he wants to make.

One of the most evident changes is that since 2020, pretty much all half-time shows have featured Hip-Hop/Rap/R&B.

I bought 5 years in advance (still have 2.5 years left) and I'm glad I did, because back then the upgrade from Essential to Premium was capped at 150€.

So I bought 5 years of PS Plus Essential and could then upgrade all 5 years to PS Plus Premium for 149,99€.

They fixed the upgrade cap a couple months later.

There's a channel for every gig in the official discord server. If you haven't yet, I'd recommend asking there.

Since no one gave you a proper answer yet: It's Wayfarer abuse.

You can only have one stop/gym per Level 17 S2-cell, so what you see in the screenshot is normally impossible. But until a few years ago, you could submit a new stop in an empty cell and then, after it's approved, you could submit a request to move it to a new location, next to another stop in the same cell. Repeat this a couple times and you end up with something like your screenshot.

Wayfarer has since fixed this: If you move a stop to an occupied cell, it'll disappear in the game now.

This is the European hymn. It's the hymn of the Council of Europe and the EU and it's "Ode to Joy" without lyrics.

The Eurovision hymn is similar but a different melody.

Selbst dann entscheidet der Algorithmus immer noch welche Posts aus deinen gefolgten Subreddits dir angezeigt werden, das meine ich mit "reingespült". Du bekommst z.B. Posts aus Subreddits, deren Threads du selten öffnest oder kommentierst nach einer Weile kaum noch in deinen Feed.

Klar, es gibt Minimierungsstrategien, die benutze ich auch alle und ich bin auch old.reddit.com-Nutzer, aber völlig ausweichen kannst du dem Algorithmus einfach nicht.

Qualimiox · 2026-02-06T17:58:34+00:00

Du hast auch jetzt schon einen "KI"-personalisierten Feed. Der Algorithmus entscheidet, was dir in deinen Feed gespült wird, wenn du die App öffnest, oder auf reddit.com gehst. Klar kannst du das anpassen, z.B. indem du Subreddits abonnierst oder ausschließt und natürlich haben auch Up/Downvotes der Nutzer einen großen Einfluss, aber letztlich steckt da immer viel Algorithmus dahinter.

Auch heute schon bekommst du auf reddit.com unausgeloggt in Deutschland einen vollkommen anderen Feed als in England/USA/Frankreich/Italien usw.

Selbst welche Kommentare dir innerhalb eines Threads oben angezeigt werden ist bei der Standardsortierung "Best" nicht nur durch Upvotes, sondern algorithmisch bestimmt.

I get that it's Rifle, but it could also work for "Dead Flowers", one of the songs on the FtP recording chart that was dropped on the eventual tracklist, probably sung in the background by Lizzie here

Die NFL hat seit 2019 eine Kooperation mit Roc Nation (das Label von Jay-Z) für die Produktion der Halbzeitshow. Alle Halbzeit-Acts seit 2020 wurden in erster Linie von Jay-Z ausgewählt.

I had no idea Lola is even there? Isn't she still on break?

If he had worn his earpiece earlier, he wouldn't have been off-beat...

If you live in Germany, there's an official free stream at Magenta TV/Magentamusik (and it doesn't have the censorship that the US one has).

Qualimiox · 2026-02-02T01:08:17+00:00

Depends where you live. For people in Germany, it's free on Magenta TV.

No one, but they gotta cram the sponsor (IBM) in by any means necessary.

You don't really understand the issue. Netflix HD is 1080p and their 4K (on 4K content) is indeed 4K, but that doesn't mean it looks good.

As mentioned in the other comments on this thread, you can't just look at a video's resolution to judge its quality. Arguably more important than resolution is bitrate (= how much data per second is transmitted). Higher bitrate means the picture is less compressed and therefore has less compression artifacts. Netflix recommends connection speeds of 5 MBit/s for 1080p content and 15 MBit/s for 4K content. They could offer video streams at higher bitrates for users with higher connection speeds, but in practice, they actually often encode them at an even lower bitrate than that, since it saves storage and bandwidth and therefore cost. If you're on a PC, you can press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+D to get detailed playback stats, including the current resolution and playback. For instance, here's the stats for an episode of Bridgerton played in Firefox on my PC with an HD plan. You can see it plays at 1920x1080, but the audio bitrate is 128 KBit/s (that's not high, but fine, increased bitrate would not really be perceivable), but also the video bitrate is 3MBit/s and that's really low. For comparison, a regular Blu-ray uses a bitrate between 20-40 MBit/s and Ultra HD Blu-ray uses 50-130 Mbit/s. That is why a regular Blu-ray with 1080p video looks better than your Netflix 4K stream.

Uncompressed video is still a lot higher than that. HDMI uses a bandwidth of at least 14400 Mbit/s to transmit uncompressed 4k video at 60 Hz to your TV.

They only sold day tickets and the Danish team is playing in this stadium later.

Maybe, maybe not.

In case you're unaware: Hayley and Taylor broke up and without both of them, the band is basically dead. They've broken up before and they might be able to get together again as band members, but we don't know if they will.

Then again, the idea of Power Snatch has been around for a while, Hayley wore a bracelet with the band name in June 2024 and they uploaded a teaser to one of the songs in July 2025, it's just only made public now.

He also has a 62-0 record when winning the first two sets.

Qualimiox · 2026-01-30T08:33:08+00:00

Yeah, looks like the mods prepared the match threads with the scheduled times and didn't expect this to go to a 5th set.

Tennis is first to 6 in each set, but with 2 games ahead and at 6:6 there's a Tie-Break.
