Everything is a streaming service now. I like to think of even Peloton first as a content driven business and second as a hardware seller.

Don't most music streaming services have all the major bases covered? Unlike for films or TV shows, there are hardly any music streaming exclusive versions of albums. Sure, Tidal tried to make it happen but still, at this day, most streaming services have most of the stuff one wants.

There is the unwanted Glance software on Android, usually preloaded on budget models that displays random wallpapers (read:ads) on Lock screen but nothing equivalent on Apple.

Where's the meme in this?

Microsoft should permanently recall the Recall feature.

Worse, if you go to their articles via their newsletter, it redirects to aws.me domain in the middle which uBlock Origin blocks. You need to manually allow that subdomain to let it run. Plus, they now and then nudge you to create a free account to read more articles.

Oh, did I mention there is a Premium tier of their site as well? Ironical that as the site's editorial quality is coming down, the shittiness is increasing. I think originally one guy used to run it and write articles there. It was relatively frugal (compared to the churn of articles that they process today) and higher quality.

Which distro are you on? Plasma has reached it's 6.0 version I think now. I used it back in the day and KDE apps are really more powerful than their GNOME counterparts.

Talking about consistency, technically Windows still has UI elements from 3.1 era at Atleast couple of obscure places.

It's a shame. This was the case with both their previous watches as well.

I use NewPipe only despite having a current YouTube Premium subscription because the official app is bonkers. It's hilariously stuffed with useless features that can't be toggled off(games, shorts), half baked stuff like specific video quality can't be chosen for all videos by default( has to be on a per video basis). Oh, and every other time I visit some channel, asking me to join the YouTube's channel for additional perks. You just took money from the user to give them a sub par experience.

How will Daily Mirror remember I paid if they are not storing any cookies for me as they promise? Also,asking to pay just for valuing your privacy, I don't assume this payment will lead to removal of ads or any more exclusive benefits.

Musk has called the Moraes’ decisions regarding X “unconstitutional.”

Who would know more about Brazil's constitution? One of its Supreme Court Judge or Elon Musk?
