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

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.

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 😂

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.

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?
