Are Spotify and Apple Music a Duopoly?

>>107686487
Yeah it could use some work but at least it doesn't shove all the social shit idgaf down my throat.
I was subbed to Spotify for over 10 years, I was paying both for 2 years or something until I figured the YT algo became good enough that I stopped using Spotify.

>>107686495
Sad.
>>
>>107686414
We were comparing music streaming services, those user uploads aren’t part of YouTube Music, only of YouTube, so obviously you can’t compare that to Spotify.
>>
>>107686536
youtube music includes both the record label uploads and the user uploads.

I haven't used twrp in a decade, there's no custom rom scene any more and lineage recovery just works
>easiest to root
probably pixels because to unlock the bootloader all the chink phones make you wait a month and require 100 points of ID now

Not really, you could install the magisk app.
And then patch the stock boot.img and flash that using the fastboot command.

What's the dumbest thing you ever did to your computer anons? Obviously we all know much better now, but I know you've got a story tucked away somewhere about that time you deleted system32 because that nice internet man told you it would make your computer run faster. Or that time you removed the french language pack after getting your shiny new Ubuntu install up and running. Hit me with 'em, let's have a laugh and relive the days when we had to get the family PC running again before dad got back from work.

Dad buys a new Mac desktop model, maybe it was a G3 or G4, next day I open up the old beige Mac out of curiosity and start unscrewing and unplugging shit.
It never turned on again ;_;

>>
>>107681970
First time on Windows 95 operating system, have no clue what to be doing other than double clicking into directories. Went into the system32 folder and began to click on everything randomly until something opened. I had no idea what to do and no concept of how any of it worked until I could no longer boot probably because I deleted some boot files. It was at that point I began to research how to reinstall windows. Imagine trying to understand what an ISO file is at my level. It wasn't easy but my stubbornness won in the end.

I once fucked the family PC by hitting the Tab key. That's literally all I did. I was in WordPerfect and hit the Tab key. Bam. Windows was gone. I was on a black screen with the cursor zipping from left to right endlessly.
Fuck Windows 98. People really don't remember how unstable this shit was.

10 years ago i could have never imagined people wanting to hold onto windows 10. But here we are.

Wait 10 years, or whenever windows copilot replaces window management. Then you will have to talk or chat with your computer. It will also block sites that are deemed offensive and require that you provide a government id to even access the computer. Then people will be nostalgic to the good old days of windows 11.

>>107686237
first of all dont copy the si= string you mong its a tracking id

second of all you zoomer faggots never used XP so you dont know how much of a pile of trash it is
it has such features as:
-zero security
-random printer driver bluescreening your fuckng OS
-bluescreening randomly just fucking because
-zero drives for any PCI or non plug-and-play USB devices (you better not lose that CD disk boyo!)
-your terminal emulator is fucking CMD.exe, a.k.a the most useless shit in the history of CLI

thats just compared to the later versions of windows

The worse the place you move, the easier it is to get jobs there. That's why non H1B indians never live in big cities, they always go to north dakota and other places like Louisiana and west Virginia. Nobody wants to love there but indians know that's where the jobs are.

I'm european and the worst places in our countries where nobody wants to live is where the jobs are. So I assume it's the same in america.

Why are you telling Americans to move to places where no work exist? Why do you believe Poland is some kind of place to work when the Polish migrate literally everywhere else for work? Why are you in this thread?

Poland is the new superpower of europe, just surpassed Korea and Japan in GDP per capita. Poles are moving back to Poland from Britain. How dare you insult Poland? It's not 2010 anymore.

You can block most of both at the DNS level. Try setting this as your "Private DNS" server on Android:
family.adguard-dns.com

If you just want to block ads (and not porn), replace family with dns

why are so many programming "help" groups like this? like, somebody will specifically opt into helping people, and then get frustrated when they dont do exactly what they expect. it constantly feels like im testing everyone's patience whenever i ask for help and its even harder trying to just learn everything myself, especially considering all the weird semantic differences in both the language itself and guides.

like i can imagine a full script in my head but i wouldnt know how to translate it into the language im currently using. and on the offchance that i *do* get the help needed, usually its just "oh just use the blah function", so its not like i just Dont Know How To Code or anything i just dont know the shit thats specific to the engine, and its not like i can just look it up in a glossary or something because the words can be totally different from language to language, like how "object" in one language can be "entity" in another, and object in *that* language refers to an object in an array or something, so theres just a huge language gap that i cant really cross without the help of others, which sucks because working with others sucks
