  • The people who make YT Music and Spotify must have autism, because they too assume it’s normal to listen to the same handful of songs every day.

    When I vent about this IRL people agree that it’s ridiculous, but then I go online and I see the opposite, complaints that the service recommended a new song or a song they didn’t like. They even took out the discovery button from YT Music.

No one’s gonna bother verifying, it’s a lot of effort to verify, but it sounds credible enough if someone claims Burger Technology read the code and found a potential vulnerability, or didn’t use best practice, or something is inefficient/bad code, or just like, look, here’s proof that they collect metrics, this is unprecedented spyware.

    It sucks obviously, I’m hoping it’ll become open sourced and more in the future. But I understand the business impact calculus being very different for Huawei vs Samsung or Fairphone.
