  The only thing Spotify has going for it is the way it’s broken down music to the atomic level and given recommendations. Cool to crib some notes there even if I think it can be a bit overbearing when Spotify does it.

  That is a valid, nuanced take that this article and (seemingly) the legislation don’t get into.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EU tells Meta it can't paywall privacy⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course ad-supported services are infringing on your privacy in a way but if you’re not ready to call Facebook a publicly-funded utility, it’s childish to act like it’s so essential that it should be entirely ad-free with no paid tier.

  Only cause they can’t interject ads while driving lol

  The point was that it’s apples to oranges. Monetization is kinda the key issue here unless you’re ready to declare Facebook a utility and publicly fund it. Personally, I’d rather we be rid of it entirely.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EU tells Meta it can't paywall privacy⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And that is totally unreasonable collection, of course. It’s also completely incomparable to pretending that Facebook is as necessary as a car (at least in America).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EU tells Meta it can't paywall privacy⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But there’s also no ad-supported cars.

  If you both want to debate moderation decisions on lemmy.ml, can you do that on lemmy.ml?

  Why do you think people commit crime?

  No, she didn’t make the cops gay.

  Honestly, this is kinda making me wanna redeploy a couple app stacks I have on a VPS. Hmm.

  Yuck. I have to prop up a server and pay a monthly fee? They’re not doing that much for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex will be blocking access from at least VPS provider⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This is truly the biggest bummer since Plexamp is a really nice audio player.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why would someone choose ubuntu server over a headless debian installation?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Having worked at a cloud provider for awhile and also done support, the reasoning is generally that Ubuntu is the “path of least resistance” to getting running. They have a super engaged community and the market share leads to a lot of guides across the web being primarily made for Ubuntu.

  To be fair, it also helps that their LTS support is really nice and their repos are a lot closer to up-to-date than a bunch of others.
