I got given a gift card with around 6 months credit on it. I used up 1 or 2, and last week suddenly the credit disappeared. I reached out through their chat bot, raised a ticket and have been emailing them daily. Nothing. Absolutely not a word. Unfortunately I dont have the option for a charge back.

Genuine question: why can they only claim DMCA if the code is written by humans? Does DMCA specify the method of production?

Amazon has owned goodreads since 2013.I have been using thr platform for many years, and the service has been good. Having said that, I haven't seen much innovation being built but that might be a good thing with this product.

I dont think it is a full equivalent, but https://github.com/continuedev/continue seems close enough. It is quite ergonomic.

Not to mention that there is incentive to keep having oncall pages, because that's how you get paid. Or not participate at all. On the other hand, with a flat payment, there is a big incentive to prevent issues and not have(reduce) ooh incidents, and participate in the rota.

They don't compete right now, but surely the architecture of the system will be quite similar, or solve very similar types of challenges. So it should become easier to jump domains when these solutions mature.

It's nice of Spotify to at least leave the names of the songs.

Years ago I had several huge music video playlists which today stand at 80% of what they previously were.
