The streaming service pays them out of a pool proportionally. So he basically diluted the distribution from that pool, resulting in lower payments to everyone else.

The point is that they have no financial incentive to clean up or prevent bloat, so they don’t.

Linux doesn’t either, but the Linux community operates on principles and passion instead of financial incentives, and so thusly is not similarly bloated.

The goal of msft isn’t to be an efficient steward of your resources, or better enable the user, or to create a platform for game/app developers in hopes of creating a more attractive ecosystem for you.

It’s nothing like any of those things.

The goal of Microsoft is to maximize shareholder returns, and the best way to do that is to abuse their dominant market position while monetizing every aspect of their platform that most people will buy anyway.

The transparency is still painful for me. And I used to be able to two finger click on my apps app to see a list of all apps that I could quickly scroll to and get. Instead of that quick and easy interaction now I get a window that pops up and forces me to type search Params, and it always has the last thing I searched in there so I can’t just scroll. It turned a “two finger click, scroll, one finger click” activity I could do with a single hand into “click, click, hold backspace, type Params, click” activity that is way less convenient and requires both hands.

As an avid Apple user the most recent ui changes are unfathomably bad. The os has become notably less useful to me in som frustrating ways. I can solve some but not all of it through settings.

It’s your ignorance and ego convincing you to do a disservice to your children.

Could just be a consequence of a less ideologically diverse user base to start with.

I’m so upset about (privacy, reddit, corporatism, etc, etc) that I’m prepared to leave my large online social networks for a smaller space on principal is probably a bit of an outlier position to take.

Not that it’s wrong, but it’s probably something we all agree on. Something out there is so fucked up we refuse to be a part of it on principal, even if we don’t fully agree on what that is.

This doesn’t seem unreasonable, it’s like interlock devices for repeat drunk drivers.

Do it! I work in the industry and have found it to be very effective in conversations spanning varying levels of technical expertise.

This is called an identity first workflow and is used specifically so that they can route different people to different login ceremonies or providers.

They get your id first, and use that id to determine what your login ceremony is. Perhaps you’re with a business that they have an sso integration with and will send you on to your businesses sso provider, or perhaps you’re a local user for them and get a password screen next.

It isn’t always peaceful like that, but I’m grateful that has been your experience.

Some real handmaids tale evil right there

I know exactly what you’re talking about, I either dig it out with a finger or gargle it out.

Unfortunately…

They would be “derelict in their fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders” to charge less than we will pay, and what we will pay changed.

Everything you said is correct.
