Not to support their tracking methods… But if you were building an application that focused on a recommendation engine, you’d probably benefit greatly by tracking what users share with each other to tune the engine better.
The chat feature isnt really changing much for you except for showing you, slightly, how the sausage is made.
Idk that I’ll use this feature but it makes a lot of sense. I end up sharing links to Spotify tracks across multiple different friend groups multiple times a week. They share with me too.
It’s obvious that Spotify would like to encourage people to stay “within the walls” of Spotify more when sharing this stuff. Some people will love this feature I bet. Idk why anyone would be upset by an optional chat though.
There’s a free demo you can try
But that’s one way it used to be, making connections that requires effort to engage with (calling, emailing, etc). If you want to give up the convenience of any particular online social network you have to do the work to foster those relationships differently.
Give your email out to people. Ask for theirs. Send the emails. Call them if they give you their number.
By selling advertiser space via their website and newsletter they encourage people to sign up for. You can tell the one in the OP is focused on that in their advertise page https://openalternative.co/advertise and the ad for the owners other platforms which help people monetize list/data table sites like this.
Both are setup to profit from these recommendations, especially the one in the OP. I’m not suggesting these aren’t useful sites, but that there are financial motivations at play as well
This patent was granted in the US.
“our employees aren’t spending our money fast enough! We need to send more of our money to Sam Altman! Fire the none users”
It just doesn’t make sense
Video game crash? What?
The only moral theft is my theft.
Can’t get feedback if no one plays it and a demo is the easiest way for someone to play it.
What’s the risk of creating the demo? Is there a downside?
Wordpress makes up like 40% of the Internet depending on the source of the claim. I’m pretty sure it’s used for more than just blogs.
I’m already wasting my time on this site and other “social media”, I don’t need to waste more of it by seeing shitty commenters regularly. You tag them to avoid, I block them to avoid. We are doing very similar actions, but I don’t even see them and waste my time reading the tag that tells me they suck
Idk. You do you but curating my online experience is not a red flag, it’s healthy
At the risk of sounding like I support ice, I think she probably should have been turned away at the border, but not detained.
Her and the kids treatment is inhumane, but she failed to renew a critical visa and traveled without the ability to reenter the country legally. Should she and her kid be detained in Texas for weeks? No. Should she be freely allowed back into the US? No not until she gets the right visa.
A sane system would help her get that visa asap so she can continue being a productive member of the country.
I challenge any reader of this comment to try and enter any foreign country without the correct travel visa.
This is weird and a bit ironic. Why not just buy the original content? Blah blah blah not all media is available and that’s why you pirate it.
But why pay these people for something you could pirate or buy from the source yourself?
