I hate Spotify and would like to stop paying them even 1/5th of a family subscription. But I have researched alternatives and haven’t found one that meets my need to manage offline files, playlists, and the current playback session across many (and I mean many) devices.

They forgot the part of their TOS about “damaging the brand”.

There’s so many lobby groups and national interests pulling in various directions that it’s not really surprising to have both simultaneously.

TBH I’m still surprised GDPR ever made it through against the cries of every corporation on earth.

Exactly, it’s not necessary. It’s bad / lazy design. You don’t expose the DB storage directly, you expose a frontend that handles all the authentication and validation stuff before accessing the DB on the backend. That’s normal Client-Server-Database architecture.

It’s a little more complex than that. If you want the app on the user device to be able to dump data directly into your online database, you have to give it access in some way. Encrypting the transmission doesn’t do much if every app installation contains access credentials that can be extracted or sniffed.

Obviously there are ways around this too, but it’s not just “use TLS”.

The standard nazi take is that it’s a great idea for Jews to remove themselves from most countries, concentrate in one place instead, and make a lot of enemies.

Tech bros see zero value in humanity beyond how it can be commodified.

Yes.

He wants to prompt grok to rewrite history according to his worldview, then retrain the model on that output.

At this point a significant part of the country would decide to airstrike US primary schools to stop wasting money and indoctrinating kids.

Just one of those errors to be deleted.

Just in case that putting processes in quotation marks as though they’re some alien concept (unlike AI agents I guess) wasn’t enough to convince you how deeply unserious this person is, they threw “azure-orchestrated kernel layers” in there.

I would pay actual money to hear Linus Torvalds react to that elevator pitch.

For most people it’s unfortunately just “is it like Twitter” - both in terms of accessibility and algorithmic content suggestion.

That’s not what people demand, it’s a side effect of users demanding software be open source and developers saying that’s not economically viable.

The 4a 5G, ironically. Looks only a little bit wider, but the difference is quite significant in practice. It is on its last legs though and the replacement (9a) is in the mail.

My wrist hurts, gimme back my tiny pixel 4a.
