I believe it's a Google thing, which i have turned off because i don't need every call being sent to them for a minor convenience

Or just block it i guess.
I don't necessarily listen to ALL of it at once, I will mostly be queueing up what i want to listen to next constantly and skip through what i don't feel like listening to right now (if the platform allows it easily, which i'm struggling to find again). On another day in another mood, that same song i skipped previously might be just what i need.
Almost as if i can choose my meal and my dessert independently every day depending on what i feel like eating.
edit: and occasionally, it may be a $500 aubergine steak - when i want it to be.
The issue is almost every good music application assumes an organization style by artist/album, which in the modern world, may not be how things still work. To me, albums are a suggestion/release unit.
For sure there are albums that are like that, i just don't tend to listen to music like that. I listen to a song, i think "oh, i want to listen to that next", queue it up and forget i wanted to listen to it until it comes up and i feel good about hearing that song i wanted.
And definitely far from the greatest hits only - that's a pretty stretchy conclusion.
edit: the problem i have at the end of the day, is forcing EVERYONE to organize their music and listening like that because the artist says "this is how you must listen to music". Sometimes i know the song i like and i just want to pick them out instead of browsing through another layer of albums that hide the list of songs by an artist.
I never understood people's fetishization of albums and "enjoying" an album and all the music app interfaces created around that. I just want a cloud or self hosted version of winamp, where jumping to the next song or queueing it up from my playlist is a hotkey away rather than 12 clicks on a crowded interface.
Been moving to navidrome but i expect to eventually need some workarounds to get what i want.
Edit: also the poor implementation that is smart shuffle and shoving it down my throat
oddballs, i agree. but a dangerous group of oddballs.
> Across Britain, more than 30 acts of arson and vandalism have taken place against wireless towers and other telecom gear this month, according to police reports and a telecom trade group. In roughly 80 other incidents in the country, telecom technicians have been harassed on the job.
that is not a small number, we discuss smaller things on HN. And these are only the cases that have manifested in to arson or harassment, so includes zero couch conspiracy theorists.
I think that was the aspiration, but nobody realized there were so many people who thought 5G caused corona (and similar lack of thought process) until it was too late.
or let your economy shrink and don't complain when things are worse than they were when you were a kid. you can't have your cake and eat it too.
edit: all of this is beside the point anyway - my point was there exists a way to legally live here, contribute to the society, yet not be an EU citizen that the person above completely forgot about.
As for cheaper labour - i'm not sure for most companies they end up with cheap labour exclusively from refugees, you can find cheap labour from within the EU as well.
I believe someone published a map of the data coverage of different providers on the berlin ubahn, but probably outdated now
> I have only one regret … that I have not worked harder.
until you "board first" with a budget airline at an airport that makes you stand just outside the gate in a common (loses queue) and un-airconditioned space until they're ready to actually board. Then paying for boarding first is an absolute privilege, especially when the riffraff can run to the plane first anyway.
Had to go back to the first pharmacy, have them unlock it, go back to the second pharmacy, only to be told after they could read the prescription that they do not have it in stock either.
The problem here is not the digitalization itself but the tangibility of the implementation. how could i possibly tell that i was wasting my time on my way to the second pharmacy?
With paper i would see that someone forgot to hand me back my prescription and i would not have left the first pharmacy prematurely.
