This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It does seem like the ideology of those inside google went from "tech" , to "I know better than you do". Not sure it's fixable really..

[–] ArtificialLink@lemy.lol 18 points 6 months ago (13 children)

That's the problem with most tech these days. They assume they know the best way to do something or know better than you. Its infuriating

Spotify is a prime example of this. There are so many "features" I hate and that no one has asked for, yet shuffle doesn't even work.

Everytime I start spotify in ny office after listening on my commute, it tries to start playing on my phone since that was playing in my car.

Or when I was still there, Reddit search. Absolutely useless and so fucking smarmy with that stupid doge.

What do you mean by "shuffle doesn't even work"? Please qualify that statement.

[–] businessfish@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

they may be referring to how spotify's shuffle isn't a true "shuffle" in that it is biased to things you have listened to more, recently, etc

That's been the case for well over a decade going back to some of the earliest iPods. It's nothing new.
