This isn’t holding up, time isn’t after us.
- Comment on After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year 1 month ago:
Oh and Deezer pays even less to artists than Spotify.
I don’t think that’s accurate. Care to provide your source?
- Comment on How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house? 2 months ago:
Ever use an ill-maintained public bathroom?
- Comment on Mystical land pirates (with pizza) 3 months ago:
Right there with ya. Amusingly, the ADC website appears to also be a relic of another time.

Or an upstream certificate expired.
- Comment on Finland detects more GPS jammers as drivers increasingly try to hide their tracks | Yle News | Yle 3 months ago:
This article centers on those driving work vehicles that their employer has installed trackers on. I know recently auto makers have been found snooping, which I don’t even have words for, but this isn’t that.
- Comment on Reddit sells training data to unnamed AI company ahead of IPO 4 months ago:
Meanwhile, the masses are still using all the ‘services’ because they all have momentum. I’m not confident any of them can do anything bad enough to chase off their users.
- Comment on The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Simple Websites 4 months ago:
I think it’s mostly impossible if you want for things to work. JavaScript is so ubiquitous, it’s been baked into the browser since 1995.

Deezer ain’t bad. www.deezer.com
- Comment on ‘Don’t Mess With Us’: WebMD Parent Company Demands Return to Office in Bizarre Video 5 months ago:
As a consumer, I will now forever remember that WebMD’s C Suite is most interested in “crushing their competition” and being heavy handed with their employees. I once thought that they were concerned about the betterment of societal health. This is how you lose your most performant employees.
I can’t believe they published this to a publically available platform like Vimeo. Did they already lose their Marketing executive?
- Comment on It is essential to stop using Chrome. Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware. 5 months ago:
I’ve hit the odd site where a menu doesn’t work the way it should, the payment form doesn’t work, overall form validation is wonky, or the catcha doesn’t work. I attribute most of these to slight nuances in javascript between browsers.
I’m a (old, grey) dev, and I’ve had to shame colleagues into validating mobile browsers other than Chrome and Safari.
