A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Spotify has updated the desktop app with plenty of visual improvements and new features, like a “now playing” view that gives you immediate access to merchandise and tour dates.

It gets worse every update

Spotify is peak change for the sake of change. They like tinkering with the UI for no discernible reason.

Fidgety corporate ADHD. Constantly breaking things that used to work and now they don't, all across the extended ecosystem (such as Alexa). Some assholes trying to justify their salary as the clueless and mesmerized suits go along with it, this is "metrics" anti-culture they've created. High-fiving themselves and giving themselves bonuses, for making things palpably enshittified.

It also sounds kinda like Lucas with the Original Trilogy.

Yep! I left a while ago and moved to Tidal. I've been relatively happy with it so far.

i deleted my spotify account after the ticktok-look update on mobile. my friend had me on his family plan, it was so bad i would not use it for free. i have a tidal sub now. it's ok but the playlist generator is lacking. spotify used to randomize a playlist after listening to an album. tidal plays the same playlist seemingly every time after an album and its kind of annoying. everything else is good though.
