The payment model is described in the book Chokepoint Capitalism by Rebecca Giblin and Corey Doctorow, which is where I have it from. Then the small caveat that I might be misremembering something or that I misunderstood something.

You can relock your bootloader with CalyxOS on a Fairphone, a Dutch phone company.

If your are talking about Spotify, my understanding is that you are not directly contributing cents to each artist you listen to based on plays, but rather based on overall popularity pool. Your subscription money then mainly goes to Taylor Swift. You do increase the popularity of the artist, but if you for instance like some hard-to-digest music you listen to once in a while, that does not really do much.

Therefore, the only thing it is changing based on regional settings is the use of the comma or period to denote a decimal.

Also I don’t see how from this post the decimal point is wrong. Sure it is simplified to one decimal place, but again many calculators do this.

It uses a comma instead of a punctuation mark as the decimal point. Default numbers formatting on my system uses a punctuation mark. In other words, it is ignoring my system settings for what numbers should look like.

I could be wrong considering I had a bit of trouble understanding the post. I just bring this up because in American English there are no delimiters for thousands place or above either.

In that case I would expect it to output the numbers without the delimiter. But I have not set the number formatting to American English.
