“Old age” disks!

Hahaha. That’s hilarious.

Just like society labeling.

I rather run native than emulation.

That way I get to use 100% of the power at my disposal, for the product I bought.

Yes I’m sure.

Not really searching for 'em though. :)

Oh!

So no need for a google account for using Private Spaces?

The app is in this curated list of great Android FOSS apps.

Here

You made me chuckle.

Thank you for that.

Yeah, I agree.

I played about 30 min then uninstalled back when I was still on Windows.

I don’t know if Bing’s search results are better than Google’s.

They all suck.

I stopped using Whoogle (Privacy engine using Google search) because of the bad search results. Google’s fault of course.

Trying SearxNG now.

Oh for fucks sake - Google!

Seriously??

Hypocrisy at its finest.

But then again, after the 2 seconds of rant, that was expected.

Android is getting more and more “private” while all data is tunneled to Google itself. They are just liquidating the competition.

The way you write tells me you are young.

The older you get (and having a family of your own) the more you enjoy the quiet moments, just like the ones when you sit in an airport, waiting for the plane.

It’s really feels like a weight has been lifted from your shoulders.

Yeah, fucking sheep!

I also thought about those scenes in Wally when I was walking the dog the other day.

Soon all of us will float around in armchairs and never step outside.

Welcome to the new world.

PS: I am old too.

Ouch!

Pierced my heart, that one.

Even Picard gets some metadata wrong on auto. Don’t trust it blindly.

Be careful and only do changes manually.

Key features:

• Schedule for nine social media platforms (Threads, Pinterest, Facebook, TikTok, Reddit, LinkedIn, Dribbble, YouTube, Instagram.)

• Fundamental analytics for almost all social media platforms.

• AI Features: Copilots, AI Auto-complete, Canva-like editor.

Sorry to budge in like this, but I don’t use any of these garbage social platforms, at all. Copilot is also strongly against my belief of the right to online privacy.

The reason why I started to selfhost and use opensource apps/OS, was to get away from all this nonsense.

Lemmy is the only platform I use, used to be on reddit, because the main purpose is to help or to get help/advise on issues. Like the old forums.

I’m a firm believer that social platforms are destroying generations with its toxic/competitive environments.

Rant over.

Shower me with downvotes if you believe I’m wrong.

Show me a new phone technology that gives me 2 weeks of battery life betweens charges and I will start caring about smartphones again.

Yes the real money is in corporations, of course. And large companies won’t change anytime soon.

But let’s face it, as i was refering on a individual level, is any of your non tech savy family and friends install an other OS other over Windows?

I find that rather hard to believe.

People are creatures of habit.

No, not me.

I didn’t even mentioned Linux, did I? Can be MacOS or FreeBSD.

I guess you assumed I did since its the default answer to suggest Linux as Windows is a shitshow. However, I realize that ordinary people won’t change a thing. They will just use the OS that came installed with the computer. That’s (windows) 99 % of all computers sold.

And yes, I do use Linux but I’m tech savy and a realist about the Windows situation.

Yeah. People just don’t make the effort to “learn a new OS”.

They get crazy if the icons are in some other place than they are used to on Windows.

Let’s see the facts here ppl.

Personally I use gonic with the Subsonic API, and Ultrasonic on Android.

Gonic is a super lightweight subsonic API server with a very basic static stats “dashboard”. As so, it’s great for lower end devices. Only problem is that it sometimes fails to pick up the album art is some cases, if that don’t disturb you, then it’s great.

Airsonic (abandonedware) is the best subsonic server in my option. It displays all album arts correctly and is folder based which works much better than Navidrome’s Id tag reader, which is a dumpster fire.

Airsonic is on the heavier side on ram usage, around 1GB. Can probably run just fine on 500mb. Probably around what Jellyfin uses.

Ultrasonic is a great android app. It is just not updated for quite some time now.

I’m also running Jellyfin and I’ll experiment with Finamp. Let’s see if it takes the number one spot from Ultrasonic :)

Edit: Ultrasonic’s strong point is also the caching of music for offline listening. Not sure if Finamp has the capability.

Edit2: Yes, it can cache music.
