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)

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

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

"Why would I want to put anything on these highly used social networks where all of my friends and people I follow are?"

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.

People vastly misinterpreted this EU ruling. Having pull tabs, or the new thing Apple is doing, is already enough to be in line with the requirements. Since the phones have water resistance, they are technically designed to work under water, thus they aren't required to have an easily accessible battery cover.
