What’s a Tidal?
A wave of layoffs.
Lol
Just cancelled my subscription when they killed Plex integration.
Wow is it still a thing? I had no idea. It always seemed to sit in this weird limbo between Spotify and YouTube Music (for people who just want to listen to music) and Qobuz and HD Tracks (for people who just want to listen to their new £250 power leads). Never sure what it was actually for.
I’ve had a Tidal subscription for about a year. It’s recommendation algo is way way better than Spotify and there are none of those spammy 1 minute tracks that Spotify has because ‘artists’ have gamed the system.
They don’t have a Linux app but the PWA works fine. Minimize the window to reduce CPU usage (I know that sounds crazy but it actually works).
That is a package like “tidal-hifi” or something like that that can basically put the web app on your linux desktop ad an app.
Their UI is super slow. That’s why the CPU usage gets better. It’s slow in Safari too.
Same, it’s fine and no joke rogan
Cheaper than Spotify for the number of users it gives you (at least where I live) and the app itself has functioned significantly better than Spotify’s has in my experience so far while not depriving me of any of the artists and albums I listen to regularly. Early on in its life it was big time selling snake oil, but at this point it’s just a solid alternative to Spotify and YouTube music which have both, frankly, gotten “too big to fail” and have begun enshittification because of it. Man we need more competition…
Ahhhh nothing like some good enshitification
You could say… a wave of redundancies.
Like the tides, what went up will eventually go down.
