“User Experience” and “Tyranny” are just points-of-view— Apple and Alphabet might, as phone OS duopolists, say that serial rather than parallel app audio reflects user demand. I demand otherwise, know that parallel app audio would be trivial to implement. I also know it would complicate their behavioral telemetry, and the actual “demand” for the restriction comes from them. It’s a ball-and-chain to make my behavior analytics easy to reconcile by forcing each app to be a totalistic visual-acoustic experience. This is neurologically prejudiced, despicable and, yes, tyrannical. Ashley Shew’s “Against Technoableism” delves deeper into these themes: https://www.google.com/books/edition/_/goGpEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwij1ebfxO2HAxWVGzQIHW8BFvEQ7_IDegQIDxAE

@richie
interesting take, but quoting me instead of replying makes me feel like a soap box for you to stand on instead of a conversation partner.

That’s interesting feedback. My choice between quoting and replying is purely about syndication. If syndication (more contribution) benefits an idea— and I tend to think it benefits many ideas— quoting is the superior user input. Choosing a path where an idea receives less awareness and earnest contribution seems to reduce the hypothetical ROI of a social platform, but perhaps I am missing other variables.
