Wow, had no idea this was a thing. I’m gonna check these out. Man I’m so entering next year.

Last time I tried it there was no view library like Winamp. Nope. At that point just use VLC or MPV.

Very excited by this. Hopefully they go all the way and GPL it. There hasn’t been any mp3 player I’ve enjoyed using as much as Winamp.

Okay but does the FPGA scratch your cartridges? Don’t see so. Analogue wins again.

Ehn, one can survive pretty long with a stable distro.

I’m pretty sure there’s a term for it. Google did it with shopping and images, Instagram changed the home button with some advertising thing (dont remember the exact details).

Yeah i guess I am. Coulda sworn they were based in Kazakhstan. If theyre in any Five Eyes country they should gtfo. Too much copyright crap here.

I remember reading it on the site but I cannot find it now. I know for a fact she is based in Kazakhstan. So says her wikipedia page.

AA’s based outta Kazakhstan though. Lotta good a lawsuit filed in Ohio’s gonna do. At most I could see American ISPs implementing a DNS-level block against the site.

Man I wish there was a good similar alternative. And not Vivaldi that sluggish crapfest.

Yep these are the best tools for that currently.

This is actually way more common than people think. Lotta people think in order to upload music to streaming you need some label connection. Not the case. Just find a distributor like Symphonic, upload and wait for streams. Hope these guys can get their recumpence.

I will become a modern day frindle.

Redux. I’ve always just used it as a fancier ‘re-do’. Still going to keep using it as such. I like the word too much.

Well they also effectively control development of gnome. Not the exact same way Ubuntu did unity but still comparable.

It’s because Ubuntu is a company-backed distro consistently wants to go their own way. Not just snap but they’ve done it before with Unity and Mir (and probably others idk).

Course Fedora does literally the same thing and doesn’t get any hate for it so idk. It’s just a meme.

Personally I don’t like Ubuntu because they didnt go far enough into their own ways but thats just me.

Theres a reason nobody uses it anymore. Google extended the crap out of it, effectively took over the protocol and then retired it. It bears the same echoes of what’s happening here.

I’d be closer to agreeing with you if XMPP didn’t completely invalidate your point. They did it there and they’ll do it here.

Is threads still even active? The few users I knew on it don’t use it anymore.
