Elon sure knows how to take advantage of government contracts.

it is a truly hilarious irony being lost in all the chatter.

not sure any of Tesla or SpaceX would exist without massive government subsidies.

Yeah, I'll dig into the music bit shortly. Honestly only use spotify for some gangster rap workout playlists, the odd bit of reggaeton in the car for wifey and white noise to sleep to. Biggest reason I kept spotify at all was commercial free white noise....I don't think it will be hard for youtube music to match that.

There’s an app I use that has commercial free on many of the sound options. It’s just called White Noise. Pink icon with three bars on it.

Rain, it's all about rain.

Ocean waves. But rain is great too.

I tried youtube music last night and it had a ton of selection of 1-2 hr videos that could loop endlessly.

Was great.

But I'll take a look at that too, thanks.

It's a pretty good app. Maybe you want the endless loop, but it lets you set a timer, so if you only just want to fall asleep to it and not have it go on all night long, you can pick however long you want it to play and then it shuts itself off.

Most of the 100 million people who signed up for Threads stopped using it

"We're seeing more people coming back daily than I'd expected," Zuckerberg said.

arstechnica.com

hird-party data suggests that Threads may have lost many more than half of its active users. Daily active users for Threads on Android dropped from 49 million on July 7 to 23.6 million on July 14, and then to 12.6 million on July 23, web analytics company SimilarWeb reported.

Threads had a great launch for a couple days, great press and uptake, but it's like they had no plan to support that momentum. Some celebrity collab, unique product features. Terrible planning. People wanted to like it, but they gave us nothing.

I have to admit i haven't checked in there since the first couple of days. I will definitely return to it, but I can't say it's great, really lacking in features and no pc access is ridiculous.

 

[MindzEye]

It's dead to me until I can use it on desktop.
