Only Apple could come up with something as innovative and gamechanging as “human-curated news”. Can’t believe no one ever thought of that before tbh.

xpost You buy a bunch of metal bowls. You can eat out of them, cook over a fire with them, make the fire in them, turn them upside down to sit on, watch water swirl in them...

What is wrong with me that 4/5ths of this seem like perfectly reasonable advice? Like I have multiple times told my boyfriend, "You should just use that one metal bowl for everything."

I am guessing the water swirling. Replace with- fill bowl with water and put in sm/med houseplants when you are away for weeks/a month. The houseplants rewater themselves through the holes in the bottom of the plant pot.

water swirling... that's entertainment sorted though. Not sure with all this activity there will be much time for sitting around. I feel sitting is out.

Apple Music is so needlessly complicated - liking/adding to library requires the weird hold and swipe movements instead of being simple buttons, you can't sub to radio shows and when I'm listening to a radio show in my car, when I get back in the next time it's defaulted to shuffling the library and I've lost my place in the radio show.

I have apple music, it integrates well with my iTunes library, have no complaints about selection or whatever, sorta serves as a music backup with iTunes match. the only people I know who use spotify are on ilx.
― L'assie (Euler), Monday, 8 April 2019 15:33 (five years ago) link
I've bounced between Apple Music and Tidal out of some Spotify-avoidance for the last year. Apple Music had six free months from my Verizon plan so I'm currently on that.
I think Spotify's tech-wise the best, Tidal's exclusive content and some of the new album recommendations have been good, and Apple Music is kind of a muddle. The radio/special content seems middling and targeted at an audience that's not me, and the searching sucks. I feel like it makes the experience of having my library available (I've used iTunes Match) actually worse because there's not a clean delineation and purging Apple Music-only content from my library when I drop the subscription (as opposed to getting the "please resubscribe to view this") is necessary and also messy.
Probably going to Spotify after this

not sure what milo's talking about -- on a listing screen you can do the push-to-add stuff, but if you're on an album on AM you just click "Add +" and then it switches to the "download" icon if you want it on your current device
― mh, Monday, 8 April 2019 15:53 (five years ago) link
I use Apple Music because way back when Spotify had two tiers of paid plan, which made me annoyed and unwilling to subscribe, and then Beats Music came along so I gave that a shot, and then stuck with Apple Music after Beats got acquired (remember that lol)

xp - if you search for something you can do that but if it comes up on a playlist you have to lightly hold and swipe up then hit the heart or plus or whatever.
― Greta Van Show Feets BB (milo z), Monday, 8 April 2019 20:10 (five years ago) link
Every now and again Apple Music really just the spot with its new music playlist, I had a really good run of interesting jazz in last week’s. On the other hand apple’s rather broad definition of folk tends to land me with a lot of sub-Eoin McLove and Celtic moods type drivel which makes me think they think I’m a Missouri housewife trying to get in touch with her ‘Irish roots’
