  You realize how massive of a marketing pull both of those are right, the 1000 dollar wheels were like 20% why people didn’t forget the mac pro 2 days after it was announced.

  Spotify literally changed the way people listen to music by being popular enough that the general way of listening changed from a purchase, listen forever model. To a listen to anything you want and never not have anything new, way of listening (but you don’t own anything).

  A song is no longer worth a purchase of a cd, or dollar at itunes. It’s worth the 3 minutes of listening that it gives you when Spotify recommends it to you.

  Obviously I’m biased. And also, yes, there were streaming services before Spotify, but nobody that mattered and with the influence of Spotify.

  Pretty sure people have said this for like 10 years

  This is exactly what the article said

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PSA: Try FreeCAD Link Branch (it's a big improvement!)⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  seem like trying to write Latin.

  This is quite funny for someone who has learned a (tiny) bit of latin, because this is 100% true, in like a positive and negative way.

  FreeCAD is “unforgiving”, in that pretty much every dimension/curve/shape must be defined exactly as you want, in exchange, this makes the software very good if you know what you want to create, and how.

  I’ve only used a tiny bit of Fusion at a school once, but it was a lot more “freeform” than FreeCAD, this made it easier to use, but as someone who knows what they want to create pretty exactly, I prefer FreeCAD

  This reflects languages. Latin is very organized, a single verb ending changes it from like “he who did” to like “he who has done” and you’re supposed to know that. It’s heavily theorized (and is 100% paritially true) that Latin is specifically designed as an efficient language to move troops. So, harder to learn but more accuracy.

  English on the other hand trades accuracy for a more natural way of relatively easy to understand speak (with a good bit of overlap where there is confusion)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple has seemingly found a way to block Android’s new iMessage app⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “It’s installed by default and all my friends are on it” - 50% of Americans

  They don’t need to worry about the fact that the other half of Americans are not able to comfortably message them, or participate in group chats, because those are people poorer than them that they might not even want to interact with anyways. Some of them might even be not white.

  This becomes even more extreme as ages become younger, with around 98% of college age students and younger having iPhones (this is obviously biased to higher income colleges in metropolitian area but the data is still useful). The peer pressure of not having an iPhone is genuinely incredible (trust me, i experience it). I have genuinely had people stop wanting to be friends with me once they learned I had an Android phone.

  Apple has a monopoly so powerful that they influence the social circles of almost every grade schooler and college student in America. This is why they don’t want to give it up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the most efficient method to set up a home server?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t use Raspberry pi.

  Oversimplified and in many cases is not good advice. Raspberry Pis are perfectly capable low cost home servers that absolutely sip power and take up little room.

  Mini pc’s such as dell optiplex micro’s and intel nucs are also a good consideration.
