The core of the story has to be technology focused.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

The time has come when you'll need deeper pockets to keep using Spotify. The Sweden-based music streaming giant has announced yet another price hike for its Premium subscribers living in the US, Estonia, and Latvia.

qobuz is good so far. the ui could use work and I'm still getting used to howto switch output sources but the sound is great and it's even got Phoebe Bridgers now so I'm all set. bye bye spotify

i switched to tidal some months ago. can't compare it to other alternatives, but it does what i want and nothing else with options for audiophile tier sound quality.

it was oddly satisfying telling spotify to take their price hikes and fuck themselves with it after 5 or 6 pages of them begging me not to cancel. dipshits.

recently went through the cancellation steps as well. it certainly isn't a surprise, but notably that is one of the more persistently-desparate cancellations I've personally experienced. made me that much happier to be cancelling and fueled my mood of "yeah, take THAT"
