Are you saying that you don't ever look at the code once it's been generated?

These are literally ad hominems.

> a website is not a person.

That is not relevant. The conclusion of the review on the website is being dismissed because of some other qualities of the website that have no bearing on the quality of the review being performed.

Which numbers are those? Their sales numbers or their numbers of vehicle recalls due to defective engine manufacturing?

Not necessarily if you take immigration into account.

So true. Pick your boogeyman (Muslims/Immigrants/Antifa/Trans/"Marxists"), pump the attack propaganda through all available media channels and hope no one mentions the billionaires.

It's been awhile since 9/11 and we've got pretty short memories, so we'll probably cycle back to Muslims soon.

Define "fair price"

5090s are certainly expensive compared to most other GPUs, but not expensive enough to be unobtanium for nearly any professional who could utilize one as part of their job

Yeah, on larger monitors it's more common to run at the monitor's native resolution without scaling but even so macOS will not turn on HiDPI mode - you'd still need to do this explicitly via another app (I didn't even know it was possible to turn on HiDPI mode at native scaling until reading this article)

In macOS display settings, what scaling mode are you using? This bug appears to only affect 4K monitors that are configured to use the maximum amount of screen space (which makes text look uncomfortably tiny unless you have a very large monitor). Most people run at the default setting which gives you the real estate of a 1080p screen at 2x scale, hence the "not normal" part of this configuration.

Actually, I don't even think it's possible to run HiDPI mode at the native resolution scale from within the macOS settings app, you'd need something like `Better Display` to turn it on explicitly.

I'd cancel either way, I'd just be less mad if they announced it ahead of time.

This seems very likely to be a mistake or bug.

Spotify rolling this out without an announcement intentionally would be an incredible blunder. I'd cancel my membership immediately and I don't think I'd be alone in that decision.

So you're saying it's highly likely then?

Do you have a source for that?

> I didn't get that read at all. I read it as their journey of understanding how the world works and how they've reached their opinions on personal autonomy.

They are using very general language and they aren’t disagreeing with my characterization, so I think I’m describing their position accurately.
