But at a certain point, it’s still a cop out. And part of the trick. If you drown anyone in enough bullshit, you can’t expect it to all get called out – but that doesn’t mean it’s not all bullshit. It is divide and conquer in another form.

My Android device has 128GB of internal storage, and I still could not imagine not having a MicroSD slot for additional storage.

+1 for Pop. I fully expected to distro hop but have had it on my main rig for over a year now. Surprisingly pleasant.

And not to mention: the original versions actually run fine to this day. Pure money grab and they made the product(s) worse to do it.

Streaming.

It’s the new cable, in that it sells to customers based on intentional market fragmentation. It’s actually a worse, because anything you “buy” on a streaming platform is actually just leased.

Most of their entire business model relies on collecting data hand over fist, constantly. Hell, even actively not using their products doesn’t even make you safe.

This is the right approach, but also want to mention, some sites actively block VPN IPs. Sometimes I see 403s which don’t persist if I switch servers.

The media library is the ONE reason I haven’t switched to Deadbeef. Everything else seems close enough.

Annoyingly, there is apparently an updated Medialib plugin for Deadbeef, but only on the Mac, since the dev is a Mac person.

Oops, I just commented about Foobar2k before seeing this comment.

Just want to mention that it does run on Linux as a Snap (though then you have to have a Snap installed, lol). I’m sure it runs fine with regular Wine too.

I use Foobar2000 for music. It is feature packed and so customizable. It’s available as a snap using Wine (I think it’s the only snap I have installed, in fact).

I really wish there were a Linux binary available but it has been Windows-only forever. The closest Linux player I’ve seen is Deadbeef, but Deadbeef’s library plugin does not work at all like Foobar’s (the later stays updated by monitoring the music folder and shows things by tags, not folder structure). Apparently the Deadbeef plugin is being updated to be more Foobar-like, but it isn’t there yet.

I mean, the point of Debian is stability. If I’m running Debian then I’m not even gonna want to try and install the thing until after I’ve seen 100 people use it. I don’t think they’ll be looking for it in repos.

I’m not sure that’s actually true. I’m not a lawyer but I suspect it would take more than an internet comment saying “I did it.”

…so did OP, lol

This was a fun game on the Wii – the second one was maybe a bit better.

Also, the elephant in the remains in the room: discussing piracy is not piracy.

You could simply learn to cook instead of whining about tipping.

Well I guess the whole restaurant industry doesn’t need to exist then.

Reductio ad absurdum.

Let’s see what Lemmy thinks.

Show me on the doll where the free market hurt you.

What advantage does this hold versus the company paying a living wage in the first place?
