Spotify, shit as it is, is just one of many streaming music providers. There are no switching costs, and you can choose between a ton of providers. That's why Spotify doesn't need to be regulated under the DMA.

I swear to god people are allergic to basic facts and reality these days.

The best Android device today is a Pixel running GrapheneOS, with the Fossify applications installed.

This is such a good smartphone, y'all.

Everybody having "fun" with Apple Intelligence? I feel so bad for missing out here in the EU and I'm definitely thinking of giving up universal healthcare, low crime rates, proper social safety nets, relative lack of extreme poverty, proper vacation days, quality education, livable, walkable cities, and lack of active shooter drills at my kids' preschool for the ability to generate a shitty image everybody you send it to will hate you for.

Just a random thank you to all the #KDE contributors for resisting the urge to dumb down KDE or chase the touch dream at the expense of everything else. KDE is still mouse/keyboard first, and I hope it stays that way for as long as possible.

Unpopular opinion: the tech media's focus on battery life for laptops is entirely misguided and disconnected from reality. The vast majority of laptops spend 95% of their lifetime plugged in. The other 5% is when they're moved from one room to the next.

Don't @ me.

Happy #caturday!
