They should try to profit. People seem to take issue with deception. They should just label the spotify songs as what they are and stop trying to trick people. It's weird and abusive.

I have no idea what that is. You're talking about kilobytes per second? This feature makes it useful to use bluetooth or other non hardwired sound output?

You're paying the largest marketer in the world to consume content that's a large percentage ads. I agree with paying for things, but subscription model provide no ownership and limited value. I avoid all subscription services.

What is YT premium and why would you pay money to use YT? It's the best free service that still exists if you have an adblocker. A lot of content has baked in ads now, but you can skip or just view something else. I've learned wha

I don't understand what YT Music is, but I listen to all my music for free on regular YT. Just download it, use an adblocker, or an alternative viewer. Any album I've ever sought is available usually in multiple versions.

I'm not a Spotify user, but people are really wild about it. The process is deceptive as Spotify has tried to hide this and pretend they serve music from "real" artists. It's enshitification. It used to be better, now Sp

I never claimed to know what crazy cultists believe. I know they fear whatever they're told to. They won't notice, they'll blame others even when the guns turn on them and they're sent to die.

They told them they'll cut spending. They intend to eliminate social security and medicare that most of those who voted for him depend on. Additionally, they want to remove regulation and regulatory bodies that protect consumers from c

This time they campaigned on ending social security and medicaire and somehow got all the people who depend on them to vote FOR them. Fear rules them.

Change has directionality it isn't change || !change. In this case change would be weighted toward enabling corporations, and bolstering security required for that. I consider that negative change. I would like to see change to strengt

As an American or someone who is interested in US security, this is illogical. China bans US software to protect itself and we should do the same. We should also ban most computer hardware as it's not possible to regulate. As Israel ha

I don't understand this position. It's not censorship, it's security. It's protecting USA from China. Why should we allow China to have access to all contacts, media, location, etc for half of all Americans? Would you ag

(I do realize this is an unpopular position, I just like truth and less confusion). KISS serves me well as does honesty. It would be interesting if Trump made it so everyone has to lie about the time.

That's not true. They're paying for favorable treatment and you're being absurd. Just as Musk paid a quarter billion to be a close advisor.

It's misleading to call it eliminating it when they intend to make it permanent. Like when they told everyone they want to eliminate the tax on social security and medicare. They plan to get rid of the tax by ending the programs.

They mean make it permanent rather than eliminate it. I would like it eliminated.

What? Imagine if they didn't pay for protection. He would attack them in public just as he did during his first term. They're paying for favorable treatment and you're wrong.

The entire investigation was based on Tesla's data if you're unfamiliar. I don't care what you believe. Seems like you're one who consumes the marketing rather than data.

Yes, but Android and it's derivatives are open source for the most part. Or at least based on open source technology. Ideally, I can minimize my data exposure by limiting Google's access.

I'm not sure what you want. The NHTSA investigated using Tesla's data and found 956 crashes caused by these types of system failures: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/inv/2022/INCR-EA22002-14496.pdf If
