You can plug all those holes, but your data is still leaking. And wait until Googles new Web Integrity API is implemented. They have a thousand tentacles that are grabbing data. You can cut off a hundred of them, but it really doesn’t make a difference.
Google still has access to info on iOS. You pretty much have to use a TOR browser if you want to avoid Google even in iOS, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve found a way in through that.
I don’t believe that anything gives Google less access to my data.
So, you’re one of those anti-stage people. You’re what’s wrong with the world today. We need to get rid of all the anti-stage people so we can have a better tomorrow.
Yeah, everyone in my party is perfect. Your party is the one that’s full of dumbass douchewads that just want to rape children and kill puppies. Your party is the only thing stopping the world from becoming nirvana. I’m referring to the enlightened state, not the 90s band. I don’t want you spreading disinformation or fake news saying that I want everyone on Earth to be in the same band. That would obviously be too big of a band to fit on stage.
I said something that was 100% non-offensive, non-argumentative, and non-political
This is 2023. Everything is offensive, political, and people will argue about it.
I think I saw something being dissolved on that page.
It’s a lot of Chinese writing and porn gifs. I had to close it immediately because there were about 30 gifs all over my screen.
You’ve obviously never tried to stream multiple things from your own server. It’s not as simple as you make it sound. Why do you think nobody can compete with YouTube? It’s because the cost is so expensive to stream. You can post the same videos to an FTP server with no huge bandwidth issue, but streaming takes a lot more.
Only people with a T1 line could stream in the 90s. Either you’re too young or you’ve forgotten that it wasn’t possible for 99% of people to stream until cable internet started being introduced in the early 2000s.
You seem to not have the slightest understanding of what I was referring to. I’ll try to break it down into something easier to understand.
Imagine that Spotify is a stream (a real stream of water, not an internet stream). To get to the ocean it has to pass through a concrete tunnel. There are millions of little fish that pass through that tunnel all the time. Suddenly several crocodiles decide that they want to pass through at the same time. The tunnel wasn’t designed for crocodiles. Sure, they can get through, but they fill the tunnel and the little fish get bunched up, slow down, and take longer to get to the other side. If you just gave the crocodiles a road to walk down that was over the tunnel, then they could get to the ocean without slowing down the little fish.
For this analogy, the little fish are songs, the crocodiles are white noise, the tunnel is the internet stream, the road is an FTP server, and the slowing down of the stream is buffering and increased cost.
You say you’re paying for bandwidth. You’re paying for access. Spotify is paying for the bandwidth, and it increases in cost the more it has to be increased in size to accommodate the service. If the company can reduce the demand on the bandwidth, then they can continue to offer the service without having to increase what you pay, while also using that savings to better their services.
The biggest issue with streaming services right now is that they are realizing that what they are charging is not covering the expensive cost of the bandwidth they are using. That’s why most of them are increasing what they charge. If Spotify can find a away to eleviate that issue, then that’s a good business practice.
I didn’t realize that you could stream it. There are tons of apps and downloads that you can use for it. I sleep to white noise cast to my TV from an MP4 that I have on my computer. It does seem like a huge waste of bandwidth.
You could if you had faith in yourself. My momma always said “Jeff, you could do anything you want if you weren’t so damned stupid”. That’s why I never had faith in myself.
