Because I wasn’t wrong. You’ve provided nothing that suggests otherwise.

You keep referring to “the Spotify app”. That is not a web app. That is a native app. If you’re referring to the Spotify web app, you should identify it as such so I don’t have to guess and then you get all worked up about it.
I’m getting to get the laptop that suits my needs, not yours.
I don’t have any needs. I bought 32GB of socketed RAM dirt cheap and slapped it in.
It sounds like you need more RAM, and it sounds like you don’t want to spend the money to buy more RAM. The only way to get that is to buy a laptop with socketed RAM. So do you need it or not? What you said is “RAM is expensive”, which is factually incorrect. The only reason they’re able to jack up RAM prices on laptops is because they solder it to the board, thereby ensuring that you cannot buy inexpensive RAM, and then people like you continue buying them.


Agreed


Ok so now we’ve moved the goalposts from “relevant” to “trustworthy”?


They’re not. And you know they’re not.


It’s what makes him relevant. Your personal feelings are not a valid reason.


Because he has 16 million subscribers? 🤔


If you watch the video, they’re citing Spanish officials. It was a big hurrah that went around a couple months ago.

But yeah, it makes for great clickbait too. You know the GOS guys are foaming at the mouth already for their weekly HARRASSMENT debacle.
My point, exactly.
Spotify is not a browser, it’s an app.
In laptops, getting more RAM almost always means getting a higher-tier laptop in other ways which adds a lot to the price.
That’s only true if you buy soldered RAM. Don’t do that.
You think a dedicated app is going to use less RAM than a browser window?
RAM is only expensive if you’re dumb enough to buy a modern Mac.
PWA is basically just a browser window that looks and functions like an app on your computer. You can launch it from wherever you launch apps. It will open in its’ own window. It’s functionally identical.
I’d recommend giving it a go and see if you like it.
Any reason in particular you need a dedicated client? Can you not just use a PWA?
Shortwave is cool, MusicPod incorporates local music and podcasts into the same app, which is pretty cool. But yes, internet radio is dope.


Thank you for not being dishonest about that.


I was very explicitly not talking about “everyone”. I was talking about the vast majority of people. You know, the other 97% of computer users that elect to use something other than Linux.


Thing is, if you’re bombarded by ads for a specific product, it means that company is spending a fortune on advertising. That is, the money their customers are paying them. I’m other words, the customers of those products are being ripped off.


They’ve been doing that for years. I’ve audited my own “likes” for years and found a bunch of BS. And we roasted one of our friends for years because he “liked” Miller Lite.
Criminals like privacy, too.
Neither. Just another shameless YouTuber farming for clicks with no regard for the damage it causes.
