I came across bangle.js 2 when searching for PineTime info. Same idea, but more expensive (~twice the price for me in Canada), a little better hardware, and supposedly a larger developer/userbase.

I don’t know too much about it; curious if folks here have opinions.

A decent chunk of the meat used for pet food comes from pieces humans won’t eat (obvs. different by region and culture), so would go to waste anyway. Lab grown meat is cool, but I’m worried we won’t get accurate reporting on environmental impact. “This is how much meat we produced” implying benefit vs. “This is how many fewer cows/chickens/etc. were bred and slaughtered for pet food” which can be used to calculate methane and ammonia reductions, etc.

Sounds like they missed some QA testing for your device or something. That sucks.

I do notice that the recommended music at the end of a playlist tends to skew more to whatever the last song was, rather than overall vibe of the playlist. Assuming it didn’t end on a really annoying song, though, I don’t personally mind changing directions a little. That said, can completely appreciate their algorithms not working for everyone.

I do think they’ve been working on improving the algorithms though, as they are definitely not as wonky as they were when I first joined a couple years ago. Nice to know at least some of my payment is going towards improving the platform, unlike Spotify, where it’s going towards buying podcasts I don’t want to listen to.

I pay for the annual subscription, so Deezer is still cheaper for me by about $2/month, but I’m glad you’ve found what you’re looking for in Tidal. And thanks for humoring my curiousity.

I haven’t had any issues with it personally (not invalidating your experience) What has gotten bad about it?

Take a look at Deezer, too. It’s what I went with because it offers high fidelity FLAC audio for paid subscriptions, and integrates with Google home voice commands, which Tidal didn’t when I was looking.
