  Did you know you can use Shazam to know what problem your car has?

  Jurly (@jurlycat) reported 5 minutes ago

  Smart TVs and smart monitors are getting cheaper partly because manufacturers are turning users into a source of advertising and data revenue. Some use ACR, basically Shazam for your screen. It fingerprints what appears on the display, including content from connected devices, and sends it to a server for identification and tracking. Apparently paying for the screen no longer makes you the customer.

  This COSOMA debate made me realize something… A thread 1/ While everyone is arguing about royalty payouts, I’m seeing something different. I’m seeing a system problem. And software problems are meant to be solved. 2/ If artists don’t fully trust how royalties are calculated… If the public doesn’t understand the monitoring system… If people keep asking where the numbers come from… That’s a transparency problem. Transparency is exactly what technology can improve. 3/ Imagine a platform that monitors radio and TV broadcasts in real time. Not guesses. Not spreadsheets passed around. Actual digital monitoring with an auditable trail. 4/ Imagine every song played being automatically detected using audio fingerprinting—similar to how Shazam recognizes music. Every play gets recorded. Every record has a timestamp. Every calculation can be traced. 5/ Now imagine every artist having their own dashboard. “My song played 287 times this month.” “These are the stations.” “These are the broadcasts.” “This is exactly how my royalty was calculated.” No mystery. Just data. 6/ The platform could also allow broadcasters to upload playlists digitally instead of relying only on manual submissions. Everything becomes faster. Everything becomes easier to audit. Everything becomes more transparent. 7/ And why stop there? Churches… Event organizers… Festivals… DJs… Could also submit licensed digital setlists. The more legitimate usage we capture, the fairer the royalty system becomes. 8/ This isn’t just a COSOMA solution. It’s a solution for every collective management organization across Africa that struggles with monitoring, reporting and royalty distribution. That’s a regional software market. 9/ This is the type of software Malawi can build. We don’t always have to import technology. Sometimes we should build the infrastructure ourselves. 10/ That’s why I’m putting this idea out there. I’m looking for partners who believe Malawi can build world-class technology. Investors. Government. COSOMA. Broadcasters. Let’s build it together. 11/ Imagine Malawi becoming the country that develops one of Africa’s most transparent copyright royalty systems. Not because we complained. Because we built the solution. 12/ Sometimes the biggest opportunities don’t come from asking, Why is the system like this? They come from asking, What if I built something better?

  old navy’s indie selection has genuinely been integral to my musical identity for most of my life like there was nothing like trying to write down lyrics in the fitting room so i could search them up later because i didn’t have shazam

  @bekeestitches Shazam was never the problem. The real issue was that DC never figured out how to properly position him in the bigger universe. The character had the potential—execution and consistency were the problem. ⚡

  I really do hope it/when they bring Shazam into the DCU that this is the type of interaction we get. I love when they don’t realize he’s a kid at first and then it becomes an issues

  @rdhoodsgf as a homeless ten year old billy batson was deemed worthy by the wizard shazam to wield his power (wisdom of solomon, strength of hercules, stamina of atlas, power of zeus, courage of achilles, speed of mercury) by saying the wizards name he would call down a bolt of lightning-

  @fadotzara @TBKReturns No, I hated this universe since Superman 2025, same with the DCEU, it was terrible from the get go with horrible films like MOS and BVS, at least there were some decent movies like WW, Aquaman, and Shazam, but overall it was a terrible universe.

  Insta-reaction: it’s fine but the old one was iconic. The new ‘r’ is clearly an issue. At first glance looks like “Ins tag zam” sort of “Shazam”-y.

  Popularity wise seems about right. There's some like Batgirl and Supergirl that could go up a step but at the same time I understand why they're on that spot. Same with Shazam I'm 50/50 if he should be there or one step down.

  @Shakajaka1234 Charmy has been a part of the HIVE in the issue actually lmao. Which was a misunderstanding by his side. Not that he can not be Shazam, though Bumblebee makes more sense imo.

  2002. You're in a cafe and a song you don't know is playing. There's no iPhone. No App Store. Both are 5 years away. So you pull out your Nokia and dial 4 digits: 2580. You hold the phone toward the speaker. 30 seconds later, the call hangs up on its own. Then a text arrives: song title, artist name. That was Shazam's initial product. They picked 2580 because the digits run straight down the middle of the keypad. The wrapper was a phone call and an SMS. The audio fingerprinting behind that text is the same core tech that powers the app today. So when the iPhone arrived in 2007 and the App Store in 2008, Shazam was ready on day 1, with 6 years of data and a proven product. 16 years later, Apple bought them for a reported $400m.

  @Max_Evans85 my favourite block is the person who blocked me because I said I was embarrassed to shazam songs in public like I’m sorry how is that anyone else’s problem but mine

  Chasing a car down to Shazam the name of a Chris brown song the car is playing is insane

  @dlfreeak @bbricktalk why should I have to Shazam when they could name her and let people easily find out who she is? i dont got time for that and if theyre a real fan they'd have no problem telling ppl who she is, which would get more ppl to listen to her

  @bekeestitches I think the problem was never Shazam himself. 😭 The story, writing, and how the character was handled made people overlook how much potential he actually had. ⚡🔥

  @esosaleonard @farbulou One of my major problems with DC and Superman is their inconsistency with him. Magic has been stated a long time a ago to be one of Superman's major weaknesses. Him beating Shazam didn't make sense That bother is not beating Doom

  @ShempMeister They should be for whomever is willing to turn out and watch them. But even in comics there are age ranges. Hellblazer and Watchmen was never intended for 8 year olds. Shazam/Captain Marvel was clearly intended for them. Marvel on the whole was intended for teenagers and should really be aimed at kids around 13-15. Almost adult, but not quite. It’s a point where children and adults can enjoy it but the focus is teenagers. It’s why Spidey started at the age he did. DC varied by comic and I’d argue Batman, being obviously influenced by a combination of The Shadow and Universal Horror movies of the 30”s was always intended for a more mature audience. I mean he killed people no problem initially, only when they started teaming him with Supes did they soften him. This is why DC would perhaps be better off not trying to ram everyone into the same cinematic universe.

  @cameron101298 @absolutelyaura0 i feel like the biggest flaw with the king shazam arc is that it was so small and comming off the tale end of the massive son of the demon arc it just feels underwhelming. this break neck pace problem is gonna hurt the absolute books. Superman especially was best taken slow

  @Black_D_Gamer1 If we applied their logic, shouldn’t Shueisha or the respective authors of the earlier titles (Dragon Ball, JJK, Chainsaw Man, MHA) have issues with the later ones (Toriko, SBtMWY, Call of the Night) because of their very similar designs? But as far as I know, they’re not doing that, right? From what I’ve learned through Googling and from Grok, companies tend to go after designs that clearly infringe their trademarks rather than ones that are merely inspired by them. This applies to both U.S. and Japanese companies. The only case with enough evidence to successfully sue and win was DC v. Fawcett, regarding the similarity between Superman and Captain Marvel (later renamed Shazam after DC acquired the character). It wasn’t just the design; Fawcett’s team had deliberately studied other aspects of Superman (personality, characterization, etc.) to create their own version of “Superman,” only under a different name.
