@VetOfTheSeas We’ve been calling for an end of tipping for ages because it’s a shit system, the fuck?

@v4ld1z I download my music onto each device, personally, but I do have some experience with streaming. I prefer it just to be rid of the companies, but I do also cut the quality of all of my music down from FLAC to 128kbps MP3s. I can’t hear the difference, even on high end equipment, so it’s just a gain for me. YMMV on that though.

I just use nextcloud to sync it all, though, and Symfonium on mobile/strawberry on desktop. It’s about 10 gigs for all of my music. I don’t have the largest collection, but 1.3k songs is still quite a bit

@violet08_ I’d be open to 23-50, however it likely wouldn’t be out of the 28-45 range

@Pyrixas Not ruined, but the first part of the song still feels very different to the rest because my ex used it as her ringtone. “Romeo, and Cinderella” is the song

@dhruv3006 koalastothemax.com/

It’s basically a koala scratch-off, neat site!

@BetaSoldier It’s probably gonna be a bit of both. If you grew up in the 00s/10s, then you would’ve been watching a lot of that stuff during a more influential point in your life, and one where you have far less to compare it to, so it feels a lot better. Plus when rewatching unless there’s some stuff that really doesn’t hold up you’ll be leaning on the nostalgia a lot.

I’ve run into a lot of stuff from the past 6 years that’s hit me like a truck, a lot of it in the indie space.

@TachyonTele Voyager was free last I checked, and I havent seen any non-free lemmy apps?

@steel_for_humans Sounds familiar, honestly, I did similar. I’m also on Mailbox.org (great service) since email is… not a private form of communnication. You only get the benefits of E2EE if you’re sending emails to the same e2ee email provider (proton > proton, tuta > tuta, etc), so it didn’t feel worth it to me to stick with tuta over mailbox because I also wanted an email client, which tuta didn’t offer at the time, but mailbox did.

None of your choices were wrong, you just bounced around a lot, which isn’t super uncommon in the beginning. I went from KeePass, to Google’s passwords (this was like… 10 years ago when google first offered password management), back to KeePass, to Nextcloud, now moving back to KeePass. I have passwords in 3 separate password vaults (two keepass, one nextcloud) that I need to sort through at some point.

The biggest recommendation I have: Don’t switch again until you have stuff sorted out on your current one. Switching multiple times before you have everything setup is the worst. Besides that just take your time

@gedaliyah support.symfonium.app/t/symfon…

This is what I use on my phone, and it’s a great app. Even supports reading rating tags, though it can’t write to them due to Android limitations. It was a one-time payment of under $10 when I got it, and that blog post says they at least have an experimental build for Android TVs. Mostly why I picked it was:

• Smart playlists
• Rating tag support

It also has WebDAV support, but I just sync the music to my phone.

@DeathByBigSad I usually try and do them early. Not Jan 1, it’s near impossible to get your paperwork before mid-January, but usually it’s late January/early February. I did wait until April this year, though

@psychostasia Grippy sock grinders, blue sock brigade, friends of John Harvey (Kellogg)

Most people I know who’ve been committed (voluntarily or otherwise) call it some variation of a grippy sock vacation.

@Bougie_Birdie “I’m awake” is what I go for when I’m not being recorded, “Not too bad” when I am. I have heard that “Living the dream” is White Man for “Push me off of the roof. We can make it look like an accident.”

@FarraigePlaisteach Around 120, I use most of them at least once a year. There are a few (mostly obituaries) that I rarely go to, but like having around.
