Sometimes my car decides to play some radio before connecting to my phone. It’s an unfortunate side-effect of owning a not-too-nice car.

Radio DJs are little more than advertising agents nowadays. Or worse, wannabe entertainers.

Here’s how I read this:

“We’re doubling the price of this chocolate this year. Here’s a bogus excuse as to why. Enjoy.”

Also no one else being there.

Also being in my home.

Also getting to work in pants.

So I guess nothing, then 👌

Interesting, I always thought it had to do with Android’s ungodly software stack which at some point involves, of all things, fucking java.

Jay-Zed as a joke is definitely something I’ve done.

No it wouldn’t. Phones aren’t cheap.

But that would require some mechanism for redistributing wealth and taking care if those who choose not to work, and everyone knows that’s communism.

My landlord remortgaged the house to pay for a year-long trip around the world.

I guess it’s good he’s enjoying my money.

Because the EU is such a massive market, EU law tends to bleed out. It’s expensive to keep different SKUs for different regions, so compliance tends to seep out.

I’d expect at least some of this to have an impact outside the EU.

Okay, let me rephrase that.

That’s easy to achieve if you use a massive billion-person platform to aggressively push Threads on everyone’s faces and make it very easy to accidentally create an account.

Better?

Cool, Meta can fuck right off the EU. Good riddance.

I wish streaming companies would take notes from Spotify. It’s not too expensive, non-exclusive, acceptable quality even on higher end gear.

Doesn’t shove idiotic recommendations on my face, doesn’t bug me about my address, doesn’t randomly drop in quality because my neighbour is taking a piss. Looking at you, Netflix, you expensive useless piece of shit.

(I’m fact, Spotify’s recommendations are so good that I’m constantly finding new stuff I actually like.)
