That's why everything is an App now, and every website tells you "it's better in the app". In the app they have full controll over your device and can access much more data points, while the website is controlled on the users site and might have AdBlockers and other security features enabled, potentially hurting their ad revenue and data they can sell. From a developers perspective it's a nightmare to develop and maintain website, android and Mac os app side by side. Just having one good responsive website is cheaper, easier to maintain and gives you less headache with app store restrictions, reviews, device incompatibility etc.

Maybe is in the metadata as someone pointed out earlier, or it could be an otherwise unused ASCII char that looks different for each user who licensed it when printed out, sort of like a qr code as a single ASCII char.

Or it could be that they simply just check filename, file size and/or md5, all of which can be easily changed.

Well if i would ask my boomer-parents or non-technical people, they would tell me that spotify is just like collecting CDs, and that you keep the stuff you paid for.

Yeah, I get what you are saying, but then it's imho dishonest Marketing, and the user expected something different when they signed up for the paid service. I think "renting" movies, tv shows or music is not something the user expects.

If they would advertise it as "pay us 20 Dollarinos a month, and you can listen to your favorite music for as long as we allow it and don't take it away from you!" they surely would never be popular...

My guess is that a cached page is just a byproduct when the page is indexed by the crawler. The need a local copy to parse text, links etc. and see the difference to the previous page.

Die moderne variante ist, das man mit irgendwelchen crypto coins, von dehnen (bis auf einige influenzer, die alle sonnenbrille und goldkettchen tragen und luxuswagen fahren wie ein zuhaelter aus den 90ern) noch nie ein mensch was gehoert hat geld machen kann...

Frage mich gerade wer dabei der dumme ist: der, der glaubt man kann Geld aus dem nichts herzaubern, oder der, der denkt man könne einfach so leute mit so einer dummen Masche abziehen und damit durchkommen.

In new Zealand, the only question is what the best Fast an Furious movie was.

Amongst many, my biggest question is: why does it have tiny wheels on the roof?

War er ja auch in den 60ern, bevor es die ersten Zwischenfälle, Unfälle und verschärften Regulierung gab und die Kraftwerke besser gegen alle möglichen Störfälle abgesichert werden müssten. Also zumindest im Westen, im Osten war Atomstrom ziemlich billig...

Wenn es mehr Geld gibt, könnten die Bürgergeldempfänger alle Porsche kaufen und lindners Aktienpaket und Lobbygelder steigen! Ob er darüber mal nachgedacht hat?
