I agree, but only up to a point. If you like to discover loads of music because you listen to tracks all day at work for example (which can make you get bored of tracks/albums quickly when you play them a hundred times in one day), its much harder to do so when you have to use a different service for recommendations & listening.

Not so much that I haven’t done that myself, but it is more time consuming.

So tl;dr its the discovery part thats a pain, at least for me.

(Speaking from experience)

Edit: i just clicked on the post and it covers discovery, ima have to read that later.

Because they are cool and build phones from scratch

Wow thats a shock. I suppose the second best option would be any country outside of europe, even though the connection speed wouldn’t be that fast, it would still be useable.

One of the points in the article described how being slower to hand write makes you think about what you write before doing so, which leaves you with more meaningful notes instead of a transcript.

I think it only works if the country you are in allows it to happen, as in they have an understanding with the UK (in this case) to follow through with legal stuff. If they were in russia (for example), the UK probably couldn’t enforce anything.

Think it is down to the government of your country.

I hope this encourages more companies/sites to fight back against stupid laws. If most keep complying, it’ll only get worse for them in the future when they make even worse laws.

Pull out all UK servers and ignore uk fines (assuming thats legal wherever u reside… idk how that works) or just pull out of uk.

I hope a country like switzerland or something lets companies host servers there for europe without enforcing dumb laws from uk/european union.
