         @khalidabuhakmeh @adamghill I used to open and close Apple Music at least 10 times a week 😭

            @zachleat @khalidabuhakmeh @adamghill it's so good — even lets you set a new default, so I've got Plexamp wired up.

            @zachleat @adamghill Wooooooah, it also stops anything from opening Apple Music. So even in Spotlight it redirects to the replacement app.

      Thinking about 🔢 Defcon levels of software consent patterns:

      1️⃣ Defcon 1: Opt-in without asking (new default), opt-out not allowed.
      2️⃣ Defcon 2: Opt-in without asking, opt-out allowed via user action
      3️⃣ Defcon 3: Ask for opt-in via prompt with default yes already selected
      4️⃣ Defcon 4: Opt-in via non-default user action (manual installation)
      5️⃣ Defcon 5: Thing not added, requiring no action by anyone 😅

         U2’s new album push was Software Consent Defcon 2

         @zachleat there’s space between 1️⃣ and 2️⃣, like if you can opt out but doing so requires some arcane terminal command or some other excessive amount of technical bullshit

   @zachleat @adamghill Next can I get a program that just does nothing if the play button is pressed and no music player is open? I accidentally press the play button on my Touch Bar in the middle of work like a dozen times a week lmao

      @roguefoam I believe that is the default behavior of noTunes, no?
