This being a double physically hurts

Love having to enable "support for sleep state 5" to turn off USB power when the PC is off

Code is not self documenting when decision trees are created based on some methodology that's not extremely obvious

You could never officially choose system colors in AOSP. It was always white with teal accent. If you're thinking of Substratum, that was kinda an unintended exploit when Google was working on adding native theming for OEMs.

Volume buttons are being made more customizable in Android 15, which is launching on Pixels soon.

Privacy settings have never been reset for me, maybe you're confusing it with Windows 11.

Cursive big f: "integration", which can be interpreted in two ways. One is "area under the curve" for some part of the curve. Other is "average value of a part of the curve multiplied by the size of that part of the curve". Curve being the function, the graph, f(x), however you wanna call it.

Normal d: "differentiation" (from difference), infinitely small change. Usually used in ratios: df/dx means how much does f(x) change relative to x when you change x a little bit.

Cursive d: "partial", same as normal d but used when working with higher dimensional data like 3D. Can also mean "boundary" of something. Example: boundary of a volume in 3D, like wrapping paper around a box. Or, boundary of such wrapping paper itself, if it's not perfectly connecting.

Omega: just a Greek letter used as a variable, in this case there's a history of it being used as a sort of "density" variable in the field of differential geometry. The college row in the meme is kind of translating the high school row from a function to a 3D volume.

Companies could take and steal as much as they want from smaller artists in that case

pervasive unchecked nullability

Addressed nowadays with the question mark and exclamation mark syntax, and programming without nullability is a pain

Framework management is hell, fat binaries inconvenient and not default

Nuget?

Compiler output only marginally better than working with c++

No one claims it's faster at runtime than good C++, it's just a lot easier to write decent code

Link? I just find graphite dev which is not related to drawing

If you must use Spotify, use ZSpotify with DOWNLOAD_REAL_TIME and hope you don't get banned. Alternatively, use it with a burner account.

I prefer Deezer and pay for Deezer HiFi. Deemix still works to rip FLACs from there.

Isn't YTM like 128-192kbps AAC? I'd rather not even bother ripping that lol

Spotify's encoding (vorbis 320kbps) should be transparent at the maximum bitrate. However, it's possible that the files uploaded on there are mastered differently, for average consumer consumption instead of the full dynamics of most source material. I know SoundCloud enforces "loudness" mastering with presets when uploading for example.

The real reason Spotify's quality is inferior to others is that, if you have the music files, you can apply in-app parametric equalization on every platform and compensate for imperfections of your output device.
