The music-streaming company says it is making people redundant to "rightsize" the firm.

    What do you do for music instead?

        In a lot of ways, this is where I’d like to be, but my mind hesitation to jump from Spotify (and comparable services) is the ability to discover new music across a crazy variety of genres. Especially since it’s stable and uses the same controls every time, I think I’d have a hard time leaving.

        Big tech got me addicted like that.

          That’s the only thing I don’t self host. I enjoy discovering new music from various genres. I reminisce of the days when you would ask someone to send you a track you just heard over Bluetooth to your Nokia.

          Last I checked, when it says only a day long, it was 15 GB. It’s been a few years.

                You had just upset a large majority of the Middle East and I can hear a mad mob of Greeks gathering arms to attack you
