Like literally the actual reason youtube background play only works in some countries and only if you pay is because of record companies.

gpms ui isnt that bad given what its supposed to do but its one of those things that you can easily say it should be better but as soon as you try to think of specific ways to do that you realize that there are so many features and so many different things it is for different people that you realize theres just no way to do it cleanly and ofc since google cant iterate its a situation of it being what it is in perpetuity which only amplifies annoyances

imo there should be multiple front-ends for the music services given the many, many different ways people listen to music but that would mean compromising ~*the brand experience*~ so they just ruthlessly optimize towards a lovely shuffled playlist middle ground instead

microsoft wanted to consolidate the user experience for services behind hubs but brands didn't like it because it made them all equally functional. also they don't create public apis because they don't want 3rd party clients. both because of MY BRAND and because they're lazy and do poo poo like ads client side.

You could never have an music streaming service API for open source clients because the record companies would just see it as "PIRATE SONGS HERE" and refuse to do business with any service that had one.

whenever i have an incognito tab in chrome go to google.com or the page to a search result, it sets the zoom to 67%. i don't know why it does this, both because incognito mode shouldn't be pulling settings from outside of incognito mode, and because incognito mode shouldn't save settings like zoom after you close all the incognito mode windows.

Why would you expect any of these primitive "assistants" to be of any help in a "what to do when I'm sick" situation? Best case, it'll pull some remedies from some quack website and parse it incorrectly.
