I stopped using Spotify long ago because of their shitty business practices. Producing a product they killed support for within just a couple years without reimbursing customers and producing huge amounts of e-waste. Jacking their subscription prices twice in one year. Apparently, they also donated to Trump despite not being an American company?? That’s to say nothing of their shitty recommendation algorithm, which just plays your most played tracks over and over. Good riddance.

For those interested, I use Tidal now. I’m satisfied with, their recommendation algo is fine and the higher quality streaming is really nice but nothing I’ve used has ever been as good as Google Play Music, I found so much good music though that service and could upload whatever I was missing. Once Tidal inevitably pisses me off, I’m going to move on to self hosting.

Authorities: Quit complaining and get back to work, peasant!

For the people in the comments who either won’t or seemingly can’t read the article: The paint on the top of the caps is plastic-based and before they’re put on the bottle they’re stored in a big jumbled up pile where the paint chips off and coats the caps in tiny flakes. When the cap gets put on the bottle, the flakes on the bottom of the cap get washed off into your drink. Studies show that washing the caps first dramatically reduces the micro-plastic contamination.

Those could totally just be plain old kidnappers

You think they care about their children’s well being? It’s all about their own status and legacy to them and their children are just a part of that.

“Natural scrolling” or whatever it’s called with track pads on laptops where the scroll goes the opposite way your fingers are moving. I don’t know why that’s the default, it makes no sense.
