I’ve been using it for nearly a decade, it’s changed a lot.

Same. I just simply don't agree. If you consider tiny features not a soul needs like yearly reviews of one's listening habits and the roll out of podcasts as things worth mentioning, ok, they were not exactly doing anything radically new at that point anyway.

I don’t know why you’d be leaving ux out.

Because UX 90% adds nothing and chiefly serves to suggest innovation.

You must be trolling come on now.

I am. I want Spotify employees to read this and get steamingly mad. They are complicit in ruining music.

Spotify's functions have not changed a bit since 2016. It is literally the same application, what has changed are the tiny things they're doing for compatibility but that is not really worth mentioning. Intentionally leaving UX out.

Honestly what code is there to write for this glorified web browser? They're probably also outsourcing most of their data collection and recommendation algorithms.

Buy physical media, rip CDs, share shit and that's it

Those lawsuits work only short term

lol, lmao even

Either they think they're evil 1337 h4xx0r overlords that are gonna enslave the planet or they genuinely think their statistical apparati do anything worthwile outside of making statistics on by now 70% other statistical machines.

+just wait until AI bros about Zip compression being more efficient at classifying than "AIs".

Not to mention that real high quality astrophotography by NASA and ESA is more often than not under free licenses. Literally the last case where it's necessary to generate something.

Everything is written in typescript.

Companies are an awful trend.

Most of the time cheaper products are better for the environment when they're durable. A very simple whistle has hardly any parts that could fail easily and is therefore durable.

See the cost of veganism, prefab buildings or electric cars. If local production and local distribution of objects saves transport and handling expenses, which come from people expending time, keep in mind those people need to be fed and have to get to work somehow, then that is a fact.

This is incorrect, the author says that he prints whistles for 5c a pop, which is cheaper than dropshipping from China. This also implies that 3D printing whistles at home in that fashion is more productive when one doesn't live in China (or next to a whistle factory).
