Yeach thats human fallacy in the work. Way too much brand loyalty.

They might also be talking about muting volume in spotify app but im not really sure who does that in the first place

Spotify is worse not really beacuse it pays less but due to the way it pays the artist where all streams are pooled together. That incetivizes bot farms way too much and is the main reason i even tried anything else( tidal but i really didint like it so i got back ) . It really should have a model where your money goes to the artists you listened. In defence of spotify tho changing it is likely pain in the arse. Well not technicaly but i imagine they have countless contracts where the way of profit sahring is stated and would violate the agreement.

I on the other hand find spotify recomendation to be fantastic generaly speaking. I for example dont see a world where braveride( small band from grece(?) with a few hundreds views per song at best , not without the reason. Audio quality is shit in their songs ,only the newest album actually was made in proper recording studio apparently , very cool nontheless ) would ever show up naturaly anywhere. Also its fairly varied so while it generaly tries to keep to your taste it sometimes does the same thing as youtube and throws something weird out of nothing. I like that. But yes as usual with algorithms it needs training so you will probably get garbage for a while( i got way too much rap for a while despite me barerly considering this as a music in the first place ), similar situation with new YouTube account. Im speaking only about discover weekly recomendations tho. I dont use anything else for recomendations in spotify.

I kinda agree . For all we know it might be also fasing out of fossil fuel based heating ( For example the reason for massive improvments of air quality in some cities in Poland is banning of old coal based heating , not banning of cars ). But im not french and i dont know if individual heating using coal or gas furnaces was ever the norm there. Also i think 2007 is a few years after euro 4 emmissions were created , so thats also a signifiact improvment on its own as pepole move slowly from older to newer cars . Basicaly i wouldn’t put all my eggs in one basket. Its probably a combination of multiple factors

I read manga. There is a tv series?

Its not only abut quality of music but how it was used.The contrast between really calm scenes and figthing scenes really elevates the action.

Since when exatcly was that a secret? Im pretty sure Nigel Farage was bought by russians a long time ago. And im pretty sure he was one of the main reasons brexit happened. Alghtough im not from uk so maybe there was someone more influential internaly in UK.

Oh ok so its just reposted from somwhere. Still feels very unreal.

Not all. Some ebook readers still had microusb, plus some other old electronics that didnt bother to upgrade from microusb for the last decade . Also apple obviusly was apple.

Thats the problem with internet you never really know what is allowed where. Doubly so in places like lemmy or reddit where rules depend on community

Also saudis are buying american weapons . Kinda maintains this weird relationship.

Damm i thought it was some global chinese brand. No wonder i found only polish websites.

Unfortunetly it might survive due to anime going mainstream. Alghtough only anime. Manga and light novels are going to burn.

Exatcly do it correctly and use multiple browsers each for a very specific type of work/thing you do you animals.

Not really peaked. More like we entered the era of diminishing returns which btw is great if you are not blinded by the marketing. Mid to low range phones are fairly cheap and more than adequate for almost anything . Do you know how shit even mid range phones were 10+ years ago and how fast they were getting too old to be usable. Right now its more than reasonable to use any smartphone for a 3 to 5 years and probably even longer ( before only champions like samsung Galaxy note 4 could even hope to match that ). Everything you talk about is cheaper and more afforable than ever before( if you do the usual and not buy overpriced brands beacuse of a brand like apple , galaxy phone , roomba robot vacuums etc… ). The only thing thats a shitshow right now are websites and computer prices precisly beacuse right now the current hype is LLM( which makes graphic cards really f expensive and kinda hits website by ricoshet due to the negative LLM influence ).

Actually even as smartphones go there is a progress. Folding phones. Coincidently they are less relaiable and not as long lived . Exatcly as smartphones were 10 years ago.

Also smartphones were something much grander than a simple tech innovation. They were truly a society changing innovation like cars, trains , planes or a computer. They just peaked much faster than cars , trains or planes. In fact they probably had bigger impact on society than computers.

Yeach windows has problems but stability is definietly not one of them. Likewise linux has problems but in fact it is not harder to use ( in fact it is so easy to use that it is reasonably popular to put some easy distro in some forsaken by time laptop instead of windows for pepole who use browser and literaly nothing else ). Frankly speaking most pepole just dont give enough f about their system. The best i can say about it is that pop os specificaly just looks better ( i am in the apparent minority of pepole that very much likes the looks of gnome ). The best way to populrize linux is to have it by deafult instead of windows on laptops and prebuilds but that will never really happen ( they make insane amount of money on Markup by having windows installed despite the fact that they get it for really really cheap. Its really apparent when you compare some laptops that can be bought without the os preinstalled )

So gentoo it is then

Im suprisingly on board for ai art. It does allow you to create whatewer you want without having the technical ability to do so. ( For example of you want a sick wallpaper ) Ot significantly lowers the floor as far as creating anything art related goes.

Samsung Galaxy note 4 or my current asus rog phone 6d. Note 4 was a peak of smartphone design, large screen, exchangable battery, stylus ( mostly for fun, i do like to have phones that have something special in them, but it was quite usefull for playing nonograms , havent actually used it for notes ever ) microsd, jack. Evrything ever needed in a phone was there.

Rog phone 6d on the other hand has suprisingly many features minijack ,TWO usbc ports , actually large storage ( microsd is good but android has a lot of limitations on what you can use it for so its not that usefull and you still need fairly large internal memory unfortunetly ) and most imporantly the back has rgb ( have i mentioned that i like phones that have something special ). Also it comes with a fast charger included ( which shouldnt be special for such an expensive phone but apparently getting single usb cable for charging somehow became a standard practice ). Also a large screen and it looks sick.
