Air bearings run dry until they get some moisture. Then they fail. Old joke about making radio enclosures: make it as watertight as possible, then drill a small hole on the bottom to let the water escape.

Until they are replaced with dust, pollution, hair, animals, leaf litter, aggressive plants, seismic events, pollen, skin particles, birdshit, fallen logs, slime mold, etc.

I prefer opt-in vs. opt-out. Opt-out is pretentious and patronizing.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. I'm not sure I want AI in my browser, whatever that may mean, but I don't think everyone shares my view. To think otherwise is IMHO delusional.

Not the out group, but the unc group.

What's the delta from LiteLLM?

I find Spotify relatively expensive in comparison to say Netflix. It takes far more capital to record a movie then it takes to record music. The same is true for storage and streaming. Yet, Netflix subscriptions are much cheaper than Spotify and Netflix is far more profitable. Spotify's business model is simply broken.

Spotify needs to pay ~70% of the revenue as royalties, Netflix started their own productions to not have to disburse in royalties (and the quality suffered).

Netflix was the first ever streaming service I canceled the subscription without feeling I had lost anything, after more than 10 years as a paying subscriber their quality declined so much I didn't care about it at all. It's been 3 years and I never thought about subscribing again.

Just because it's exhausting and time consuming doesn't mean that it will be good or popular. Those are subjective measures anyway.

If they can't afford to make music maybe they should change their profession or get a "real" j o b.

The RIAA might

What does lossless really mean. Sounds like an amorphous buzz word. It's only lossless from the master/copy they receive.
