For me it’s my 4-year-old daughter. I know when mom is taking her to preschool because my spooky podcast suddenly changes to something like “SUPER KITTIES” and my audio goes silent.
8:45 am, starts playing sex music playlist…
This is because we have a Google home which is linked to my Spotify account.
Cute story… this is an advertisement, even if it was not the author’s intent. I enjoy human connection and mawwiage as much as the next guy, but we can have a better story with post-google open source alternatives.
“Will you be my Spotify Duo… til death do us part?” I texted her, over my Google Pixel 3 Watch
sniffle “Of course my love. Nike, Just Do It™” she said, between sips of her new Folger’s dark mountain blend with new hazelnut flavor.
“Based, fam” And then they Uber off into the sunset.
For me this is anything but advertising. The audacity of Spotify to throw you out of listening to music, because another device is now playing music.
Imagine your tape player stops playing music in the kitchen because you started your mp3 player on the toilet.

…and that Nuka-Cola Quantum colored sun…
[hiss]
…well it sets on the smooth and the unsmooth alike…

…so keep on the sunny side, friend, and choose Big Boss cigarettes for that smooth flavor…

She’s your sister?
I could only recall the incest brand off the top of my head 😭
My first thought as well
I don’t know, it feels creepy to me. I think she should know.
I guess the self hosting equivalent would be logging in to the Jellyfin admin panel and looking at what is being streamed
That’s cute and all, but it’s also pretty much what Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Spotify and all the other tech giants are doing when they’re joyfully tracking what people are doing without their knowledge or consent.
Are you saying they’re in love with me?
I’m sure they are. How could they not? They love you for who you are and what you do and what you think…
What’s not to love?
Your money at least.
They are in love with the ability to make her happy, and bond emotionally.
Tech companies are in love with
the ability to analyze your emotional state so they can exploit it trough business offers giving themmore money.While still a tad creepy that she doesn’t officially know, They and them are not the same.
(Edit: They because OP is not the author)
Sure, still a bit weird tho. I mean what happens when OP is on a business trip and his gf seems to suddenly have a whole different taste in music in the morning? Could easily lead to misunderstandings…or not.
I’m sure they’d love to spend the rest of your life with you anyway
cute.
Two months ago I would have a hard time imagining what’s so wholesome about this. Nice to understand this now.
That’s really sweet
And yet, it has downvotes.
The Lemmy experience
Derivative! Downvoted!
I don’t think there’s any post ever that didn’t get a few… 39:1 is pretty good i think
Ah the duality of people.
I don’t understand what’s wholesome about a single household needing to pay for multiple accounts to simultaneously stream, but all the more power to you.
Its a cute story, the tech is only a small part of it. But its actually a good thing for the guy in the story that they can’t stream at the same time since it let’s them connect in that small way every day
It’s funny when i tease my wife by sneaking a song she hates into her playlist from across town even though it’s playing on a system hamstrung for profit run by people i despise, yarp!
