23:14 <pikajude> oh look, spotify on linux is sparrow pike

23:14 <pikajude> puke

23:14 <pikajude> how amazing

23:14 <jfhbrook> spotify in the browser is afaict unworkable

23:14 <jfhbrook> I haven't been willing to try a native app

23:14 <pikajude> so spotify on linux has a "Login with Facebook" button that does nothing when you click it

23:14 <jfhbrook> so like, I guess that means I'll just have to use youtube and pandora forever!

23:14 <pikajude> ok, that's fine i say, i'll set a device password instead

23:15 <pikajude> go to the spotify website and try to set a device password

23:15 <pikajude> "There was a problem setting your password"

23:15 <pikajude> i google this error message, a link comes up to the spotify community forms on a thread about the issue

23:15 <jfhbrook> http://www.ragefacecomics.com/faces/jpg/okay-its-not-okay.jpg

23:15 <pikajude> i click on the link, i get an error "too many redirects" from chrome

23:15 <jfhbrook> dang

23:15 <jfhbrook> that's legit

23:15 <pikajude> so in summary, every single element of this experience has belied a basic inability to write working software on any level from the spotify team

23:15 <pikajude> and i will not be a repeat customer

23:25 <alexgordon> what's the name for half a nybble?

23:25 <alexgordon> i.e. two bits

23:25 <alexgordon> duet I guess

23:25 <jfhbrook> nybble?

23:26 <jfhbrook> I thought 4 bits was a word

23:26 <alexgordon> no a word is 2 or 4 bytes

23:26 <alexgordon> 16 or 32 bits

23:27 <jfhbrook> it looks like this is processor dependent https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_%28computer_architecture%29

23:27 <alexgordon> yeah a word is processor dependent

23:28 <alexgordon> byte used to be, but by now it's equivalent to 8 bits

23:28 <alexgordon> ah here we go https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Units_of_information#Obsolete_and_unusual_units

23:28 <alexgordon> crumb, quad, quarter, tayste, tydbit, semi-nibble

23:29 <alexgordon> crumb sounds cool, I think duet is more descriptive though
