It’s cos they’re privately owned and so don’t necessarily have to be shit, where publicly owned companies are legally required to maximize profits for shareholders.

If they added automatic online account collation and mass deletion I’d pay them $100 on the spot to wipe the hundreds of random accounts I have on sites/services I never use and often have never used.
How the hell does Zoom have 7500 employees??
Nilay’s point is that the Vision Pro is by far the best implementation of this kind of device yet - possibly just about as good as is actually possible - and yet still suffers severe issues as a result. Usually Apple waits and learns until they can launch a product that is well considered and that often shows the industry how to move forward, yet in this case it’s quite possible that they’ve actually just demonstrated that this kind of computing fundamentally doesn’t work.
Also the fact that the faster the wifi, the easier it is to block.
UpNote is the best non-FOSS option
Google effectively has a monopoly on the Android app ecosystem and this trial brought to light mountains of evidence that they maintain this through extremely anti-competitive means.
To be fair, Chrome was vastly superior to Firefox for ages in the early 2010’s
Yeah but the best way to address that for all Australians is to increase the lower tax bracket, not the upper. Or at least increase both. Or lower tax rates on the lower bracket. Or, instead of lowering taxes, we could just spend them properly, but that’s an altogether different line of thinking.
Yep. Costs a bunch of money upfront and ongoing to operate a streaming service, and even more to make even just an alright one.

I really don’t understand how things like this get made.
Like I understand that there are tonnes of rich people with zero brainpower who fund this sorta crap, but how do the people creating it ever think anything other than ‘this concept is shit and nobody will ever want this’???
I think innovation used to be part of our national identity.
Apple Music is the best music platform by far due to clean and simple focus and UI, performance, and also lyrics. Unfortunately, it still sucks in all the ways that streaming inherently sucks though, combined with its intention to suck you into the Apple world.
The artist rates continually decline for every platform. In the not-to-distant future Tidal will be as shit as Spotify is now.
Microblogs like Mastodon are excellent for following specific people, and for getting an overview of the current zeitgeist. Forums like Lemmy are excellent for following specific topics. Both are useful in different ways.
I got the same email. I will be cancelling when the “”“grace period”“” ends.
You don’t get advertising or algorithmic crap on Mastodon, and they have reasonably reliable filters to hide most porn I think
Transmission is awesome because it’s simple. It only does what you need and has the best UI for doing so.
Trying, not releasing
