I’m sorry, but are you serious?

Well, a large part of the issue are all the damn exceptions

Good luck to anyone trying to enforce that lol

Is everyone walking around with crumpled clothes? Or am I missing some critical life hack?

It’s inevitable. Your competitors are using ai. You have to implement it to not get behind. No one cares beyond being able to slap a label on the product.

Don’t worry, logitech comes with a unified receiver driver, new unified app i forget the name of, logitech g hub, logitech options - and you’ll be forced to use a combination of at least 2 and likely 3 of those to setup a mouse.
As a bonus, the mouse won’t care to remember what button maps where, if used on a device without said software.

You’re right, but I think it’s fairly safe to assume that if one knows about sponsorblock, they’re using an ad blocker too.

30% desktop, 15% mobile estimated in the US use ad blockers.
That is not insignificant by any means, even if it’s overestimated.

The joke’s on them - my time has very little value anyway

When Vanced went down, and before ReVanced came out, I had stopped using YT. The ads are unbearable.
So I know what I’d do.

Super fun in VR

Believe it or not, peak humanity.
It’s all downhill from here

How are they supposed to feed it into their LLMs later if it’s encrypted??

Spotify is usually reported as one of the worst paying for the artists.
They also don’t distribute the value by time listened, but pool in and award the largest artists (don’t remember the specifics, you might need to look it up).
They were also found/accused of using their auto generated playlists with made-up artists who’s money goes to ‘noone’, just shady stuff.

That’s partly a manufacturer issue, a lot more difficult problem to solve than it may seem.

There’s a gif at the bottom of the article. Looks similar to any video scrubbing interface.

They’re all proprietary, so it’s less than ideal.
LDAC is owned by Sony and supported by some Androids.
Samsung has their own codec, Apple does too - each vendor locked.
Then there’s Qualcomm’s aptX/HD, which should now be fully supported by Android.

I don’t use apple, so can’t comment on other options there.

The bluetooth remark is a bit misleading, there are codecs that provide better audio, which is even noticeable on Spotify.
If you have earphones that support LDAC for example (sony XMs are popular where I live), you can even use that with Windows via 3rd party software (search Win A2DP - not free, but can recommend).

I didn’t care until it consistently loaded faster.
That’s now my new baseline, and anything slower than ‘instant’ is annoying.
I would care if that was no longer the case, because I don’t like being constantly annoyed.

That said, I don’t think the page loading speed is noticeably different between major browsers.
The addons, customisation, privacy and resource usage are where it’s at.

I’m just hoping that some competition to chromium stays afloat.
