I hate how everything requires you to download a shitty proprietary data harvesting app nowadays when everything can be done just fine without an app.
I hate how everything requires you to download a shitty proprietary data harvesting app nowadays when everything can be done just fine without an app.
I have recently started a new position and am required to use an app that has three Facebook trackers, one of them being a Facebook location tracker according to Exodus App Privacy in order to get your food when it would literally work perfectly fine ordering to a real cashier or shit even a website rather than having to download an app.
I have also read many stories of people that live in apartments that require them to use a mobile app for god damn LAUNDRY. All you need, is a card reader, and it will work perfectly fine like it has been for the longest time.
Privacy concerns aside, it is just annoying that you need this app and that app and this app and that app and it just clutters space on your phone. Security concerns too as now they have all of this additional info on you online, such as your phone number your email your real name, instead of just your credit card info like a card reader would have. And I am willing to guarantee that their security model is absolute horseshit because they have such a small team of engineers working on the app and the servers.
Literal enshitification

As a musician, I have to maintain an artist account on all the major social media platforms. It’s frustrating that a lot of features for posting only exist on their respective mobile apps instead of making them available on the web version where I have all of them neatly arranged in tabs on my laptop browser. Instead, I had to install all their apps on an extra phone (because I don’t want those things on my primary personal phone). Not to mention how hard it is to edit content on a tiny phone screen instead of a full browser window on a laptop.
What sites are you mainly using?
Which one is the most pain in the ass to manage?Love to check out your tunes if you'll drop a link!
All the big ones (fb, instagram, twitter, youtube). They all have their own pains on web. For example, you can’t schedule posts on instagram on its own. Profile editing is also limited. You also can’t create reels on both fb and IG, although at least Meta’s business suite allows you to post standard photos and vids on both platforms simultaneously. You can’t create shorts on youtube web too. Twitter is absolutely basic, and I can’t say much about the app because I refuse to install it even on my extra phone. Besides, it’s not really intuitive for posting anything other than links, static photos, and standard videos, and most musicians are more active on IG now.
Thanks for the interest! I do a different genre on every release so there are genre tags for each album. Just pick your preference :)
Thanks for sharing the link :)
Really cleanly presented.Mind you, I didn't listen to everything, but I did poke around!
I really enjoyed Replication in Abiogenesis and the bass intro for Membranes was sick.In Luminescencity, Moondust Arcade was fire 🔥 Especially the piano rip at 1:37.
City Limits Outro was smooooth - need a longer version! HahaAre you out to cover ALL genres or do you have specific ones picked out? I feel like your style would lend really well to Funk if you haven't considered it! Keep it up 😄
Thanks for actually giving it a listen! I really appreciate the feedback. And yeah, I regret not making City Limits a full song lol. I'll probably release an extended version next time.
The goal is to cover as many genres as I can, so I'm always open to trying out anything. Funk is definitely something I'd be interested in doing, so it's on my list! Thanks again!
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Maybe an Android Emulator can at least help with the tiny screen problem.
+ More isolation without the need of an extra phone.In addition to the emulator someone mentioned, you might want to try scrcpy, which lets you control and view your phone on your computer. No root needed and easier to use than an emulator.
