Seems their official/main app is FOSS

I never listen to podcasts and yet Spotify shoves them in my face every time I open the app. Spotify also constantly resets my quality preferences back to auto (which is just low quality with another name). Every time I want to shuffle a playlist, Spotify sneaks in songs they think I might like as the first shuffle option. So I do believe they’ll be forcing this AI slop front and center everywhere and it won’t be as simple as not listening to it.

From the top of my head, you need to keep those apps open in the foreground if you want to sync your photos/files, while iCloud does it automatically on the background for you, showing that iCloud has an unfair advantage over the rest.

Honestly, at this point, they deserve every single bad thing that happens to them.

Unfortunately those bad things will also trickle down for the rest of the world and I’m so tired of that

Let’s wait and see how this funding won’t be talked about ever again and later on the CEO coincidentally gets yet another raise

That is definitely how it works unless IANA creates an exception for the .io TLD and keeps it alive.

And it’s probably India which has the most English speakers in the world (counting it as native, second or third language)

How is atomic less confusing? Immutable means that something doesn’t change, atomic means that it’s the size of an atom or has nuclear energy

EDIT: I’ve learned that some people are overly pedantic about the meaning and practical use of the word “immutable”, so much so that they decided to create a bigger confusion by giving another word a completely different and exclusive meaning

Just for the sake of it I asked Gemini advanced how many g are in highlighting:

AI will replace us all, they said…

Well, turns out Tidal has ended that program last year: https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2023/03/01/tidal-direct-payments-program-ends/

Spotify actually pays 70% of the streams to the label, which trickles down to a bunch of nothing for the artist. Tidal wanted to change that and pay directly to the artist

It is “efficient” because they just dump everything on swap. If I cold boot my M1 air, it’ll be using 7GB of RAM and 4GB of swap without anything running in the background. I have this ongoing bug as well where some background apps will stop responding and the system can’t stop the process, so it starts a new one and it keeps doing this until I either stop the app manually, or my storage is completely full because swap is taking 80GB of my internal storage.

You still have to install WhatsApp though, since it requires activity on your account (on the app) every 14 days.

I’m not really trying to disprove or disagree with anything, I just think that knowing the sample is important. For instance, earlier in Hungary, we’ve had a lot of billboards and other media claiming that 99% of Hungarians were against things like sending aid to Ukraine and gender affirming politics. In a purely statistical sense, this was correct and could dissuade the common folk into thinking that’s representative of the country. However when you investigate further, their research was done on just a couple thousand citizens that were all either affiliated someway to Fidesz (the rulling party) or historically voted for them, which overwhelmingly skews the results towards one end.

According to both websites, the research was conducted on just 2000 USA citizens. In my opinion, that’s a lot of weight being pulled by claiming they represent the entire country. I am unable to download the research papers here, but what does it say about the sample? If they are researching solely on more tech savvy people, then I think the results are very likely to be skewed to one side
