Honestly, the benefit of streaming services is not being able to listen to music legally. It's discovery. Playing a song I like and getting recommended a similar song turn an artist I've never heard of has introduced me to a lot of great music. That's not something you can replicate by going to the webshop of your favorite band and buying their newest album.

Plague Star isn't a regular mission but I will never get over how Vay Hek just can't shut up about his GLISTENING MAGNIFICENCE.
The photos turned out so cute that I turned them into a calendar as a Christmas gift for friends and family.
As a recipient a can confirm that the pictures are indeed cute.
Welp, there goes the neighborhood. If they want to do an IPO they'll probably enshittify the hell out of the platform and jettison all remotely raunchy communities. Because nothing says "good investment" than a service that just drove out a fair chunk of its user base.
Interop by means of a shared standard wouldn't require a monopoly. Heck, we already have SEPA direct deposit, all we really need is a user-friendly frontend for it.
Do you mean the Atari 2600? Because all Amigas had either a floppy drive (all of the desktop models) or onboard NVRAM (the CDTV and the CD32).
That's not a problem if executive orders are treated as law; the first amendment doesn't curtail the president's power.

Mind you, enemies of encryption have claimed that backdoors or encryption bans would've prevented attacks where it's known that the perpetrators have been communicating with bog-standard unencrypted email and text messages. Most of the time there problem is not encryption but insufficient collaboration between agencies.
Often enough, going for encryption is an abstract power grab wrapped in security theater. Plus, "we need to been encryption" or its modern counterpart "the police need a universal backdoor key" are simple solutions to complex problems, which is a common approach for scoring with voters who have no idea what's going on.
Encryption is simply on the list of acceptable targets.
That undersells them slightly.
LLMs are powerful tools for generating text that looks like something. Need something rephrased in a different style? They're good at that. Need something summarized? They can do that, too. Need a question answered? No can do.
LLMs can't generate answers to questions. They can only generate text that looks like answers to questions. Often enough that answer is even correct, though usually suboptimal. But they'll also happily generate complete bullshit answers and to them there's no difference to a real answer.
They're text transformers marketed as general problem solvers because a) the market for text transformers isn't that big and b) general problem solvers is what AI researchers are always trying to create. They have their use cases but certainly not ones worth the kind of spending they get.
I hadn't heard about Copilot telling people how to activate Windows 11 without a license, though. So I'll thank OP for that bit of levity.

The problem there is that scrobblers aren't nearly as convenient as a streaming service. With a scrobbler I have to actively check out recommendations. With a streaming service I can just have it play related songs until I get one I really like.
