Day two of using Deezer. First day using phone app.
Deezer: Plays 2 songs... Silence
Me: Has WiFi gone weird again?... Nope.
Deezer: Want to go ad free? (Full screen ad with pause bars but not playing through it's 30 second screen time 🫤 & only other button is to go ad free 😠🤬.
Me: Press pause button... It becomes play button but nothing else changes.
Me: only way out is close app.Deezer android app users of the fediverse, is this normal?
I have zero problem with ads, provided they don't effectively break the app like Deezer's very own ad, loaded beneath an actual ad did.
Very grateful for any insights 😀.

So much for watching Red Sonia on ITVX whilst I work on my BuJo pages.
Spent half an hour:
6 mins. - Trying & retrying with & without ad blocker
12 mins. - Filling in a query form. Filling in this form gave me a clue as the box for what program, was governed by a search (type in letters / words & it finds).
12 mins. - Filling in a feedback form as they clearly don't bother removing links to removed films / programs.
Nothing more annoying than thinking something is there to watch & then discover that if this was netflix, I would either already have watched it because I saw the deadline or it would be removed from my watch list as well as the main page / lists.
Even channel 4 indicate when it's no longer available.#Life #TechFails #EpicTechFails #ITVX #ITVXFail #ITVXStreaming

I've noticed a trend for app devs wanting problems reported on GitHub which is fine if you have an account, have a clue how to navigate the site & intend on being a frequent / regular user of the site.
@ App Devs: What are people who don't have or want a GitHub account supposed to do?
@ App Devs: Well, it's one way to get people to ditch your app when they develop a problem / problems.

DuckDuckGo is DuckDuckGone.
👋🖕Bye Felicia.
See, this is what happens when you keep setting the AI & Search Assistant to ON whenever I open up my browser on a new day.
Let's see if Mojeek is any good as a search engine. I'm open to suggestions as it's always good to have options to explore.Now, just need a new browser app for my phone. Any suggestions? Preferably without AI or at least something that honours user settings.

Sits down, open bag = wrong order 😡
Sits at.computer to scroll site for phone number. Nothing responding.
Force PC off & on again = main monitor dead.😠 Unplug main monitor & use second. Empty tool bar, okay I'll populate it with what I need to access the browser. 😡
PC: Nope, you can do all you like but the panel is staying empty. 🤬🤬Second restart after dead monitor disconect so it hopefully fully forgets the now gone monitor …
NOPE! Same shit.with the panel so useless piece of junk.😠😡🤬🤬🤬Phone & order confirmed email to the rescue!
Guess my kitchen laptop will be migrating to the front room for main duty.
Tech can be a heck of a stroppy bitch.

Netflix broken on Librewolf, Brave & Waterfox = forced back to Firefox.
Upside: At least it's not Chrome.
Spotify rendered unusable on Librewolf & Waterfox (didn't try Brave).
Still usable & navigable on Firefox.EDIT: Tagged Linux because Linux is the awesome OS I use, it is NOT the problem.

Is your birthday party themed?
Yes.
What is it?
Solitary Introvert with a hefty clout of, "Sorry, we are unable to complete that action at the moment. Please try again later."
Oh. * looks at feet *
By, try again later, they* mean, bugger off!
(EDIT: By They*, I mean / meant Netflix)

Okay, moving on from the tech bullshit. I need to think about what's for lunch 🤔 & which DVD or Blu-ray pairs well with what I decide to consume, crunch, nom, munch, eat, breath, suck up like spaghetti, chomp… wait, something doesn't belong in there.

Spotify website has gone full enshitify.
Everthing arranged like Netflix but with zero side-scroll ability 🤦.No menu other than settings which just has Account, Profile & Log Out
& the usual corporate shit for Premium, Support, etc.Today is shaping up to be a shitshow online. First Netflix & now no music to cheer me along.

Right, cancel my Birthday, Netflix is being a whiney Bitch & has cancelled my preferred fun for the day.
I'm toasting my scotch pancakes for a second time as they've gone cold thanks to time faffing on Librewolf & Brave.* football style chanting*
Netflix is a twat!
Oh Netflix is a twat!
Netflix is a twat!
Oh Netflix is a twat!
Netflix is a twat!
Oh Netflix is a twat!
...EDIT: Cheering myself up with some Friesian Horses (Channel) on YouTube.
