If you are a person who cares about the difference between 24-bit / 44.1kHz and 24-bit / 192kHz audio, you probably already left Spotify. Spotify knows that, they also figured out that's why they couldn't charge more for lossless.

EU is demanding that every site use age verification technology, while insisting it do things it cannot do, and behave in a manner it cannot behave. This is not policy making. This is wishful thinking, with a side of "we'll just blame the tech companies for not waving their magic wand."
At the same time, a Commission press release said it expects any age assurance method that's used for child protection purposes to be accurate, reliable, robust, non-intrusive and non-discriminatory.

If Apple or Garmin came out with a display-free band with GPS, Whoop would be in serious trouble trying to charge this much per month. For now, Whoop is able to play against the downsides of a smart ring, which suffers badly for weightlifting/battery life/etc.

With all due respect to Jack for having the vision to invest in decentralized protocols, we’ve carried out the work in a way I don’t think he fully understands. Bluesky is structurally open in a way Twitter has never been, but the design of atproto allows it to feel familiar and easy to use.
