Spotify was down

Re: Spotify was down
#42The painful bit was that I got automatically logged out with all of those "offline" songs. Is it a feature or a bug? IMO if there was no logout then many clients would just keep playing the cached songs, and people would not notice a disruption that much.
You didn't buy these songs, so they won't let you enjoy them if you can't log in. What a wonderful world!

I'm not sure what you're suggesting. Russia doing something to disrupt GPS? NATO switching GPS to combat mode? What?
No, Russia is likely jamming GPS. It’s a somewhat frequent occurrence even before the war.
Ok but what does any of this have to do with Spotify?

#45Oh good. Glad to know I'm not the only one :)

#46There are disruptions in GPS signals in Eastern and Central Finland as well. [1] No prizes for guessing the most obvious culprit. [1] https://yle.fi/uutiset/3-12348237

Russians DDOSing various services and jamming communications.
Dunno if "combat mode" GPS is a thing anymore with GLONASS etc.

What does that have to do with Spotify being down?

I am under the impression that Spotify doesn't care a lot about UX in general. Inconsistencies in gesture handling, sessions still buggy after years, being logged out as soon as the API is unreachable, directly playing a song when opening a link, etc

> You don't own media, you just pay for the right to listen/see it. A subtle but important difference Explain please, in what way do I not own the media I bought? EDIT: responding to your edit: > Now of course, technically, Warner can't go after your CD collection and non-technically, what's the "subtle but important" difference here?
You own the physical media but not the data (song) that’s stored on it. That’s literally what copyright is: the right to copy. You don’t buy that right when you buy the CD.
I kind of expected something that's relevant to the comment the GP made about "owning media" in the context of other distribution mechanism going down (ignoring that I indeed have the right to copy discs I own, for limited purposes), not a "did you know that owning music media means what everyone understands owning music media to mean".
