They don't explain how you're supposed to go from 25 to 250K active users all of a sudden, so they're basically telling me to fuck off. Well, I guess that's just what I'm gonna do.

I did a quick research on @deezerdevs.bsky.social and I'm still not sure if moving my macOS app there is even possible, or if it will only be able to play 30 seconds snippets. They have an iOS SDK, but that won't build on macOS, right? πŸ€”πŸ€“

Spotify is a shithole for developers. There goes my dream of having a native macOS client that does not drop memory like a sieve. They just don't want me there. Maybe it's time to move on, but…where? πŸ€”

GitHub - ralph/homebrew-spotifly: Homebrew tap for Spotifly - A lightweight Spotify player for macOS Homebrew tap for Spotifly - A lightweight Spotify player for macOS - ralph/homebrew-spotifly

I wrote a lightweight Spotify client for MacOS based on librespot with Swift/SwiftUI. It's far from feature complete, but playing music works.

Let me know what you think.

I’ll get my battery replaced next week, so it will be good for another 4 years.

I really want to buy a new iPhone to replace my 4 year old iPhone mini, but they're only releasing models to conveniently play table tennis with, and I want one that conveniently fits my front pocket. Is that too much to ask for? #iphoneminitillidie

Maybe you're right, but I could not find reliable studies/numbers for Europe Β―\_(ツ)_/Β―

I still think the parallels are visible, though I can see the differences, too.

Young men are struggling. What does this mean for young women? The BBC's Katty Kay speaks with NYU Professor Scott Galloway about the state of young men in the US and how it affects young women.

Aaaaah! The Apple iCloud invoice Email used to be a beautiful 1 page PDF when exported (e.g. for taxes), now it's 2 pages with more text, a button and 5 links that are all useless for archiving purposes. I don't care about magic mice charging ports and Mac mini power buttons, but this pisses me off.
