If you can’t control yourself, you can always get the state to control everybody.

^ shill for the pager lobby

First they came for TikTok, then they installed the age gates, now they’re attacking infinite scroll?!?

What will the libs come for next?

I miss the days when MTG stood for Magic the Gathering.

Spotify has public databases? That’s so nice of them. Really progressive.

So where can I download my fave albums?

This is the difference between randomly choosing songs and randomly choosing songs without repetition.

Both are random but the later is much better for humans.

Of course there are other possible methods of choosing. It seems like Spotify is doing some kind of weighting from another comment posted here.

The point of these apps is to leech as much money as possible.

An opposing goal would be to make the app better for users.

This is spotify. It’s just a music player. The overwhelming bulk of the code was probably written like 20 years ago by a 15 year old.

Is that supposed to be impressive? Spotify is among the dumbest, shittiest apps. It’s literally just a music library player.

Spotify doesn’t exist because it’s some genius app. It exists because of legal control. They have no reason to make the app better. Indeed their shitty capitalist motives continue to enshittify the app.

“plan to”

Just when you thought matplotlib was safe from the drama…

They will max out borrowing, then print money to pay off the debt and de facto default.

I think you wanted to use past tense here.

I guess it’s for anybody who’s privileged enough to profit off exploitation and planetary destruction.

Good example, especially given that it looks like a Russian oligarchy is where we’ve been headed since 2016 since 1776

I’m pretty sure this is exact same thing that happened in USA.

If one billionaire makes out, three more lose money.

That’s just what you say. And who cares about billionaires losing money anyway?

I wonder how many trillions of dollars the Trump dumpster fire will end up costing American business.

USAian business does great under fascism. Just look at the MIC. Both “parties” just voted on a massive handout for genocide, etc.

Business will be fine! The right/rich people will be bailed out. Etc.

I don’t think the USA will have the political stability to ultimately allow the adoption of an alternative.

“Stablecoins” exist and are among the most popular cryptos (1).

the new King is quite likely to ban it

Trump literally has his own stablecoin (2), not to mention other crypto grifts.

At the end of the day capitalism is a grift regardless of the food chips used.

You’ve never used cash?

Isn’t crypto supposed to be a worthless grift tho? \s
