Pet Peeve Alert: "Deeply Personal"

Reading reviews of the latest bland pop outing from Jack Antonoff and Co. (credited this time to Phoebe Bridgers') Lost Weekend...

Reviews that describe an album as "deeply personal".. let's check the producer/lyric credits for track two, Lost Boys:

Producers: Phoebe Bridgers, Tony Berg, Ethan Gruska, Jack Antonoff, Alex G

Lyricists: Phoebe Bridgers, Christian Lee Hutson, Marshall Vore, Bo Burnham, Alex G

It took five people to write these lyrics? Nearly every track has a vertiable school bus full of producers and lyricists to craft music that sounds similar to, well, basically anything Antonoff slaps his name on.

Hey, thats fine if you like Antonoff (in Phoebe Bridgers flavor this time).. go and enjoy the music! But why do these critics try to fool us into thinking this stuff is even remotely personal??

Kate Bush's The Dreaming: producer, lyricist composer: Kate Bush.

THAT, just as an example, is deeply personal.

Android UI glitch

I've noticed a new glitch on Android. If I swipe from the left or right edge of the screen to "go back" whereby the app minimizes, the app actually closes and my music stops.

This is an infuriating glitch and I double checked with other music apps. They ALL remain open and playing music if I swipe from the left/right edge.

Mind you, Qobuz DOES stay open if I swipe up from the bottom (go home).

Qobuz, please fix this!

Cannot find a setting to stop "I'm"

So, when I swipe up from the bottom of my screen to exit an app, 8 out of 10 times, gboard will write "I'm" in the text box of whatever messaging/document app I was in. Its infuriating. There doesnt seem to be a setting to fix it. I believe it's a flaw with swipe typing. Try it.

Inability to skip cutscenes is a bothersome flaw.

There, I said it. I couldn't care less about the little stories behind barn finds, or the needless blathering before Day Trips etc.. at least let us hold A to skip if we aren't in the mood!
