According to another commenter chromium on Linux is hard capped on quality, so although it's noticeable vs the web version, it's not actual Max quality. I haven't noticed it although my headphones should be able to show the difference (sony MDR 7506, I know, yes, for everything, people say that it doesn't sound nice, I don't care I love it) so idk.

Most of them, honestly. Idk where you looked but Tidal, Amazon music, apple music, dezeer or however it's pronounced, all were available in Spain. I stocked with Tidal because of the Linux client but apparently theybalso pay artists the most so yay.

As an edit, you mentioned metal, I listen to lots of mainstream metal bands (powerwolf, system of a dawn, dragonforce, sonar arctica, blind guardian...), some other maybe not so well known ones (tyr, alestorm, korpiklaani), and some local ones that are more rock than metal (vendetta, su ta gar, kaotiko, la polla records).

If you are talking about Tidal HiFi, the UI might be similar to the web version but apparently itbruns on a modified version of chrome that allows HiFi music? I did test it some months ago and the quality difference is noticeable.

Idk what the other two are saying because Tidal HiFi is an unofficial client that let's you reproduce high quality music, being basically the only one that let's you do it on Linux. Yeah it's a web wrapper but with HiFi enabled or whatever, I don't really remember but the default web version doesn't have HiFi and the app does and it's noticeable.

Tidal is the only one for me since it's the only one with an unofficial HiFi Linux client, which is a wrapper around the web version but with HiFi enabled.

I'm happy reading that they are decent on pay for artists.

It's Tor-ti-lla. With intonation on the ti. I'm a Spaniard but even if I weren't, intonation and pronouciation rules are fixed. Tórtilla has intonation on the Tó, and has a tilde because it's the third syllable. Tortillá has intonation on the llá, which since it ends with an a and has the intonation is on the last syllable, in has a tilde. Tortilla has no tilde, so it must be Tor-TI-lla.

well, all the examples in the image are "freedom to", and are leftist viewpoints, so I'm not sure about that that statement.

Android is a OS with several phone brands. IPhone is a phone, a single phone, with a single OS that works with it, iOS.

It is expected that swapping OS is a pain, what's not expected is that the whole ecosystem of all apple machines use an isolated software too.

Prices are adjusted form profit of course but there's also the workforce cost. Maintenance and support workers need to be paid accordingly to what people of the country earn.

If you factor that the 'reasonable profit' should also be scaled around the median income, the prices now make sense.

Now, you could say that both of those are inflated for excessive profit, but that's another discussion.

Considering that, according to a consultancy I worked for, indian workers were 9 times as cheap as spaniards (comparing workers in our company), and spaniards are one of the chespest in europe, i'd say that the indian price is more expensive accounting income.
