  • Because Spotify is absolutely shit at suggesting new things.

    Even if I pick a particular theme there are many artists it won’t include until I manually select them and then magically they appear in the themed list.

    The human touch just means being able to suggest similar things based upon experience that is outside your bubble. Spotify makes a personalised experience based upon your bubble, so it can never truely pop.




  • On a related tangent, because I see that this is mostly discussed to death, I dont get why Americans decided to merge other unrelated words.

    For example, being exhausted and the rubber circle that cars and bikes use to roll smoothly are the same word in American English whereas we (UK) use different spellings.

    Tire - Being exhausted

    Tyre - Round rubber wheel thing





  • All of Windows is malware. By default you have adverts in your start menu, you have pop ups (which is not the same thing as Windows Update, pop ups are a service provided by Explorer) which maliciously install unwanted web browsers.

    You can’t support Trump and then claim that only a small part of his following is due to racist bigots.

    You can’t support AI and claim that only a small part of it damages the atmosphere.

    You can’t support Windows and claim that only part of it is malware.

    Windows 100% enables and supports this nefarious behaviour. It’s the abusive spouse trapping you before beating the shit out of you for your own good.
