Why isn’t Apple Music better at predictions

  • I gave up on Apple Music after 3 years and moved back to Spotify a month ago.

    Apple Music pros:

    • really good UI (including light/dark mode)
    • spatial & lossless audio
    • included in Apple One subscription

    Apple Music cons:

    • no crossfade (still! In 2023!) - useless for parties
    • thinks I want to listen to my Christmas playlist in June
    • generally terrible music suggestion compared to Spotify
    • no ‘playlist radio’ (again, compared to Spotify)
    • music discovery massively sub-par compared to Spotify

    Is it time to rejoin the single market? Tobias Ellwood says yes

  • The cookie banners you see everywhere are an unintended consequence of GDPR, and new legislation is underway to make them less of a hassle. The intention of GDPR and it’s laws were 100% required and welcome.

    Is there a way to directly transfer files between laptops and PCs using regular USB cables?

  • When you say it’s going to ‘take forever’ how long are we talking? Can you try a small batch and see how long it takes? If you really are only doing this every 5 years or so and don’t want to spend any money then the setup you have may be your best option.

    If you want to spend $10 or so you could buy a cat6 Ethernet cable (and you may also need to buy a dongle for the laptop). The transfer would take a few hours.

    Depending on your internet speed you could also sign up for a single month of Dropbox and do it that way (again, about $10).

    For the quickest (and most expensive way) you could purchase an external nvme/SSD which would do the job in a few minutes. Couple hundred dollars but then you’ve got a very useful device that you can use in future.

    Lemmy.world status update 2023-07-04

  • I’ve had instances with only a dozen or so Wordpress sites that will chew through 8gb and go into swap when certain tasks were poorly scheduled (like a couple of sites clearing their cache at the same time).

    So I’m not surprised they are hitting 25gb but the gradual nature (from the sounds of it) off the memory build up does sound like a leak.

    Don’t envy the devs but I’m sure some of them are enjoying it 😂

    This community only exists because the shower is one of the last places left where it’s still uncomfortable to use a smartphone.

    Do android reaction work on iOS 16

  • iPhone’s don’t use RCS, so AFAIK, no they can’t. When an Android messages an iPhone, the iPhone falls back to sms which does not support reactions.

    ELI5 Reddit to Lemmy

  • Hello this is my first comment on Lemmy, so consider me an expert.

    The idea of ‘federated’ websites is that you can use your login from one server to interact with another server. An analogy is email: you can have a gmail account that can send a message to a yahoo account via shared and open source protocols (e.g. SMTP).

    One question I do have though; if I create my account on Lemmy.world and then for whatever reason that instance disappears; does my account disappear or is it recoverable on another instance?
