It’s a bit late, but hey I will take it still. I tend to have pretty bad luck with discovery apps as I have narrow musical tastes, but I will give it a shot for a while.

I have had the most luck with the custom Apple Music stations honestly, seems to have the best balance of songs I know and like with newer stuff in the same vein. I am not sure I would spend as much time on a playlist entirely composed of new things.

Apparently Russian civilians, and journalists at that, don’t count.

Disgustingly, I have definitely heard people make that case with a straight face, look at all the people celebrating a Russian civilian being killed by a shark. They only care about warcrimes from The Other Team.

That isn’t true of Ukraine or it’s supporters.

Journalists have been jailed for exactly that in Ukraine and some NATO countries though, so it is definitely true for some of those places.

I have been thinking about a new MBA for a while now, my laptop is secondary (I still have an Intel iMac as my main desktop) but my current one is a…2015 12 inch Macbook, so I could use the upgrade. It would actually be my first Apple Silicon machine.

However, my country’s currency is really struggling right now, so I have to pay functionally $2000 USD for one of the baseline 15 inch models, which is a lot.

How could you possibly doubt the word of uh… Jefferey Tromp and his good friend Romaine.

Google, that company famous for creating new technologies and supporting them for long periods of time. Definitely something I am interested in becoming an early adopter for.

This literally has Pro in the name, it IS the Pro model. I imagine they want to get some devs working on this and sell it as a high-cost proof of concept, with more mass-market models further down the line.
