  That’s the problem with most tech these days. They assume they know the best way to do something or know better than you. Its infuriating

    Spotify is a prime example of this. There are so many “features” I hate and that no one has asked for, yet shuffle doesn’t even work.

    Everytime I start spotify in ny office after listening on my commute, it tries to start playing on my phone since that was playing in my car.

    Or when I was still there, Reddit search. Absolutely useless and so fucking smarmy with that stupid doge.

      What do you mean by “shuffle doesn’t even work”? Please qualify that statement.

        they may be referring to how spotify’s shuffle isn’t a true “shuffle” in that it is biased to things you have listened to more, recently, etc

        Are you talking about that thing where it plays the same exact music usually in the same exact order every time you start a new session

    They know how to manipulate you to do/buy stuff you weren’t looking for. That’s what makes a profit.

    It has always been this way (also in tech) because those things are the products of companies (main goal: profit, usually under a sneaky slogan), but it is becoming increasingly invasive. Don’t be evil: think different.

    The problem with tech is managers are wearing engineer coats and calling the shots with no true credentials.

    Yeah, tech people nowadays have this attitude with most people, they only show some restraint when they think it’s for other people like them.
