But for weeks and weeks it&#39;s been over a week away! Yes... No, you don&#39;t get it look. it&#39;s been really consistently, long run: over a week away. Yes And, I don&#39;t know, somehow, suddenly, something changed! Yes.

A lot of the hype assumes that if ‘Big Tech’ can make powerful predictions, government should be able to do the same. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/antlerboy_we-need-to-be-much-more-precise-about-what-activity-7447175907456212992-zu-u

Is it something weird about me (my music library), or is it a well-known thing thayt Apple Music lags massively? Every time I want to add all an artists&#39;, say, seven albums to my library and to a playlist, I&#39;m typing ahead like I was on a BBC Model B! Gosh darn it, all these things are *just databases*!
