    I’m not a native speaker - I just wanted to say that for a very long time, most podcasts where hosted on iTunes and that was (and kind of still is) the go-to place for podcast-reviews/ratings

    And as I said: they kept the system open despite their market position

    It’s one thing to rule them all and a whole other to lock users into your platform

    Apple monopolized the podcast market for a decade but never stopped people from using the podcasts there with whatever client people wanted to use it with

    Spotify is just going the shitty route and forcing people to use their client and not just their servers


  • *unless you’re working for public infrastructure, service industry, cultural industry, energy production, some parts of transportation or some parts of manufacturing where you can’t shut down a plant for a single day.

    There are so many exceptions to that law I’m really wondering how much difference it would really make it supermarkets and regular shift works would also continue on the weekends - just with the standard 5 days workweek still applying and having to pay a bit bonus for working on Sundays, the same way the other jobs are also getting paid more for Sunday work








  • And even if they don’t keep it: they got browser-level Adblock- and Tracking-Filters that you can just feed the same lists you’d put into uBlock

    Sure it’s lacking the spot-blocking, tool if there’s a missed ad or a fine-tuned whitelisting but I think that browser will stay usable even if V3 is implemented.





  • I think the biggest problem is that there is no disadvantage for getting 3rd place over 2nd place. Sometimes it’s even better to be 3rd and get the easier side of the bracket than going through groups as the 2nd-placed team

    If they want to have a RO16 then they should perhaps find a system where they put the group-winners one round ahead without playing while 2nd and 3rd places play each other - or that the third placed games has to play another knockout between themselves to join the others.

    It’s horrible that the groups that play last have way more information about which amount of points will be enough to go through than the groups that finish first so it’s totally possible for some of them to just sit back knowing that they are already guaranteed to go through even if they get 3rd place.
