Most people both don't use and actively hate keyboard + mouse setups. It is inevitable that any and every UI will continue to trend to tablet-friendly streamlines. We, the interpret and nerdy pioneers, suffer. Many of here probably type, like, 100wpm or more. We're practiced and experienced with it. Kids these days type like your parents did. 40-50wpm disasters. They did not grow up playing Quake. This will dramatically change everything about how the internet is used. For a lot of people, it'll seem better. For us, it'll suck ridiculous donkey poo poo. GolfHole fucked around with this message at 18:28 on Jul 9, 2023 |

I'll gladly contribute a couple shovels. Can we also throw the person in there who invented pinterest, and flooded google image search with harder to copy images that all link to pinterest?

I think this is true of mass-marketed stuff, but I think any 'serious' software will continue to be actual software. The interesting bit will be how the gap between 'mass marketed software' and 'production software' will widen more and more. Computer literacy has declined a ton since what I would perceive as it's peak around the mid 00s, but complex software is very powerful. To me, that suggests that computer touching will maybe become a more in-demand skill as time goes on? dunno. It's very weird. But yeah, consumer software is loving tragic.

Dunkin Donuts got too big. They forgot their roots. Like, Dunking a Donut. They featured a donut with a donut handle, for dunking. It was great.

Spotify, I used to have the ability to block a band from playing. Now I don’t. Maybe, just maybe, if you’re going to platform certain bands, give me the option to not have them come up on my recommendations or whatever. Like let me literally tell your algorithm what I, undeniably, do NOT want to listen to. You can cater your recommendations far better if I tell you “I explicitly never want to hear anything from this band, ever, fullstop.” How is this hard I am giving you data, why do this

I am certain Spotify's shuffle is not random. Looking it up, people suggest that disabling this "automix" thing makes shuffle random, but it doesn't. In a playlist with 70 hours of music, I shouldn't hear the same song three times in two hours. And that same song the next day. And the next. e: I guess it's kind of been that way forever though, this isn't really new

I like that blocking individual songs on Spotify doesn't keep it from recommending it to you. I used to get who recommended playlists where nearly every song was blocked until I started doing artists instead and got off whatever terrible thing it lumped me in to.

Holy poo poo I can’t believe the poo poo I figured out in my early teens just to tell other kids than Sega Genesis is a better purchase than an SNES which costs more and has less pixelated gore. (loving idiot if you had one seriously) Also old Unixy telnet forums and IRC. Imagine having to read a few pages of manuals just to shitpost effectively. The leap from internet addict/gamer to professional computer toucher will never ever be that narrow again.

Spotify has this new AI DJ feature and the poo poo it serves me is just trash. Mostly that new whiny rap stuff. I know they still make normal rap and music but I think that the royalties are cheaper so the AI likes to recommend swill.

The preference exists on mobile, but even if you toggle the preference on mobile it doesn't even apply your selection to PC (or anywhere else you listen to it, like a smart TV). Still better than Pandora, though, gently caress that place. I was an original Pandora subscriber from when they were new and the only game in town. I spent over a decade perfectly curating several stations. Then they enshittified their algorithm. Want to listen to 80s hair metal sometimes, chill out with lowfi hip hop at other times, and play some Stick Figure while you cook dinner? Too bad, here are some some Imagine Dragons and Taylor Swift songs crammed into every piano concerto and Mongolian throat singing station you have.

I just buy music sometimes and run a flac library in foobar on my desktop, and a 200 gb sd card which easily holds what I care about on my phone--which has an audio jack.

i've switched back and forth between yearly apple music and spotify subs, and have been on apple music for the past 2 years. it sucks, but it has always sucked and has gotten no worse. spotify used to be good and got a lot worse.

IMO Pandora was the first online service to poo poo itself up to uselessness. It got to the point where it insisted on playing Modest Mouse in every single one of my playlists, even all instrumental electronica stations I had curated for years and years.
