Choking on the ashes of my enemies.

It supports services apple decided aren’t competing with Apple Music.

So, Apple’s in the wrong because Spotify didn’t add the Siri music API?

In 2020, Apple did a HomePod Siri music API, and some services, such as Pandora, have adopted it.
Unfortunately, Spotify, the biggest music streaming service, has still not implemented this

It’s worth mentioning Apple has released a new API for music streaming apps allowing them to be controlled by Siri through a HomePod. However, Spotify, for whatever reason, has refused to implement the software into its app on iOS.

Like, I get it: the internet has a hate boner for Apple, and in a lot cases it’s justified. But it’s 100% on Spotify for this one.

They aren’t discounted on the Switch at the moment. At least NA, anyway.

Edit: now they’re discounted, lol.

Pool alleged that the family’s lawyer said she wants to “bankrupt” the school district and its leaders during the legal proceedings.

Isn’t that a Republican’s job?

I know it gets quoted a lot, but Gabe was 100% right. It boggles my mind how people in power over these streaming services just don’t get it:

One thing that we have learned is that piracy is not a pricing issue. It’s a service issue. The easiest way to stop piracy is not by putting antipiracy technology to work. It’s by giving those people a service that’s better than what they’re receiving from the pirates.

The “Video Games Now” part basically describes Castlevania II.
