I’m a happy customer. Found it better than Apple Music which was the other one I was considering while moving away from Spotify. Don’t have experience with Tidal though.
Their only response so far has been “I’ll die in the harness”. That’s about it. Company wise everything is settled legally. But there’s nothing medically as far as I/we know. That’s exactly the kind of stuff my mom actually has worked out precisely, I have a copy of all those documents as well. That’s why we really want to have that conversation. But they are just not having any of it (yet). There’s hoping this changes. When a family member or friend passes away we try to prompt them to think about it, so far, nope :-(…
This is very difficult. My mom was very straightforward with this and wanted everything worked out, a breeze, she took the initiative and is organizing. My wife’s parents are in the mode of “I’ll worry about this when I’m dead”. We’ve dropped some hints, especially since they had a medical emergency recently. But there is little more to do than offer help, information and ask what they want. If they’re not open to it, you’re just damaging the relationship and I’m not sure it’s worth it. There is no easy “win-win” scenario here.
- heat (dissipation)
- power
- network bandwidth
- cosmic rays (shielding)
- part failures (with so many parts, there’s always something broken
- eol parts (lifecycling in 3-5 yrs avg)
They are all challenges that can be overcome. But at what cost. Consensus is that economically it seems hilariously unviable. Datacenters tend to have to make their money back within about 3 years. The 3 year make money back issue is also why I believe the AI DC buildout is such a high risk gamble/bubble. In a year or two, all that hardware they made a year ago will need to be replaced. You just redo the whole investment again…
No Linux Epic doing Linux. That’s progress!
Seems like the real story here is one guy maintaining a critical infrastructure begging for volunteers to help out and nobody steps up. So yeah, I really don’t like what he does. And also the OSS community is failing him.
Deezer seems to do a decent job. Publishing numbers and filtering content. They can probably do a better job. But it was enough for me to switch over.
You can actually buy albums on Qobuz. Buy and download, always yours, legally!
Between Framework at least trying to build an open ecosystem, there are very very few other options out there. Yes they can probably do better, still they are effectively the only decent open option (for me at least) at a reasonable price and quality.
When I saw the other day that github reliability was <90% I knew they are deep on the road to fully cooked.
Again!? Every single one of these is becoming a complete disaster…
Let’s be very clear here. Chrome ripped off the hard work from the KDE webkit people. That is also the reason much of it is open source, because open source and volunteer contributions made it live.
