  • Spotify is worse not really beacuse it pays less but due to the way it pays the artist where all streams are pooled together. That incetivizes bot farms way too much and is the main reason i even tried anything else( tidal but i really didint like it so i got back ) . It really should have a model where your money goes to the artists you listened. In defence of spotify tho changing it is likely pain in the arse. Well not technicaly but i imagine they have countless contracts where the way of profit sahring is stated and would violate the agreement.


  • I on the other hand find spotify recomendation to be fantastic generaly speaking. I for example dont see a world where braveride( small band from grece(?) with a few hundreds views per song at best , not without the reason. Audio quality is shit in their songs ,only the newest album actually was made in proper recording studio apparently , very cool nontheless ) would ever show up naturaly anywhere. Also its fairly varied so while it generaly tries to keep to your taste it sometimes does the same thing as youtube and throws something weird out of nothing. I like that. But yes as usual with algorithms it needs training so you will probably get garbage for a while( i got way too much rap for a while despite me barerly considering this as a music in the first place ), similar situation with new YouTube account. Im speaking only about discover weekly recomendations tho. I dont use anything else for recomendations in spotify.


  • There is also the fact that graphic reached the point where marginal improvments require disproportionate amount of firepower.

    Plus the im pretty sure that a lot of new features are made moreso to ease the work of developers and graphics improvments are nice side effects ( i think i read that ray tracing lightining is actually easier to do , alghtough you do need hybrid solutions while the games do not require ray tracing but that part is changing and we do have first games that require ray tracing ) . I think thats the reason we see a small renesance of AA games at this moment.



  • Yeach but its also not that easy. Choosing parts in particular is a nightmare. Ohh this ram has very high clocks but low latency is that good bad , how high is even high, there is a goddam sheet with hundred(s) of position just power supply beacuse apparently some sucks, x3d procesors dont come with cooling and choosing a good one is another bad experience also some cases are too small for some gpus , some have bad airflow, and the recommended ones are goddam expensive ( fractal for example ). Its actually horrible. Too many things to choose from .
















  • Oh thats true. Each country in europe has their own spin off far right. Also far right parties in europe already have their sponsors and they usualy have suspiciously russian accents. And its certainly better to keep quiet about that for them ( before russia invasion some could even get away with that in the western countries somehow , beacuse for some inexplicable reason pepole had suprisingly high opinion of russia, a f* dictatorship in europe. And its even worse with hungary, of all the countries that could romance with russia why tf hungary . That i just dont understand. In poland if anyone even looked favorably towards russia he would almoast be treated as a traitor , and hungary had similar experience with the soviets so why ).

    Actually you know. I think i welcome the competition for the far right . Perhaps musk or other crazy bilionares can outbid some rusian oligarchs. At worst nothing changes. At best far right will become tad more pro american. And americans are still our allies at the end of the day for better or worse.
