Qobuz has a family plan, and it’s cheaper than Spotify’s, at least in Canada.

Why 5 instances of qbittorrent? Does a single instance have trouble with lots of torrents or something?

The Contact section on their Cloud privacy policy has a lumarylabs.com email address, and sure enough that site says Lumary Labs is based in the US.

July 2025, when iOS 26 was still only available in preview. It wasn’t released until September 2025.

Tuta is looking into using AI in development.

I don’t think the masses like Facebook. I think they hate it, and hate reddit’s new policies.

I think the way Cory Doctorow put it is Facebook is betting people love their friends and family more than they hate Mark Zuckerberg.

More context:

“Incumbents crowd out the innovators in many sectors and markets,” Jackson said. “It wasn’t the Post Office [the U.K.’s public mail service] that invented email. The music industry held back streaming and digital music for 10 to 20 years. What you need is routes to market for new technologies, and I think that can be a challenge in Europe because so many of the big industries essentially have a stranglehold on policy.

“Economists have said that nearly all productivity growth comes from new companies. If we want more growth, we need to allow creative destruction so new companies can deliver the productivity we need.”

I think the target of the “creative destruction” here is the companies holding back growth in electrification.

Apparently Blackstone is expecting Anthropic to receive a high junk rating, i.e. not investment-grade, after the IPO. Maybe all those risk factors actually matter.

Tuta is currently looking into using AI in development

The current Tuta apps are built more than 99% without AI, but we are currently testing whether it makes sense to use AI tools to help developers speed up repetitive processes and increase efficiency overall. The goal of Tuta is to bring privacy to everyone and for that the Tuta apps must become much more feature-rich and competitive with Big Tech equivalents (eg Gmail)

Here’s a discussion on Tuta’s github to you might want to check out. I guess they’re anti-AI for marketing purposes, but fine with their own devs committing AI-assisted code.

Excuse me, that’s “Fuck u/spez”

Gizmodo’s post has a bunch of tributes that have been posted; it’s mostly tweets, for some godforsaken reason. Merriam-Webster tweeted broken hearts and a link to the definition of “ENGAGE”.

The founders are co-CEOs.

Yen said this is the last year that Proton will hire engineers at all, and instead only hire people to build things with AI.

Bro is all in on AI and even he doesn’t seem to consider “prompt engineers” actual engineers.

The article doesn’t say how they’re planning to pay for Instacart. They could be planning to take on billions of dollars in debt for all we know.

He agreed with Trump on one thing, and not even one of the really bad things? Is that all?

Netflix actually ended up with an increase in subscribers from their crackdown. Maybe Spotify did learn from Netflix.

Netflix tweeted in March of 2017 that “Love is sharing a password” before launching its own enforcement policies in May of 2023. Later that year, Netflix raised prices up to 17 percent, and by April of 2024, the company saw the policy pay off with 9.3 million added subscriptions and a 54 percent bump in operating income.

It’s the Fifth Circuit. That’s just normal for them.
