@savvywolf I imagine that they would instead force them to use a certain API that wouldn’t be so easy to replicate on Linux.

@Billy Somehow, Iran wasn’t worried about escalation, hmm…

@Fubarberry Thank you. This seems like it should be useful for my situation 😁 Do I need to go through the process of setting a root/sudo account for this?

@Fubarberry I’ve started playing Cities:Skylines (the original one) again, and downloaded multiple mods from the Steam Workshop. It froze one day and I couldn’t fix it in any way than to shut down my Deck. Every upgrades I did to that city were just gone.

Thankfully I managed to improve my public transit by adding more lines, more buses and changing some routes, as well as adding a few more metro stations as infill (sadly I have to redo all the metro lines all the time when I do this).

I play vanilla for now, as I want to make the most out of it without DLCs first. Then I think I will get the snowfall DLC in order to get trams going (as a European I don’t understand why are trams, and partly even trolleybuses, hidden under DLCs but metros aren’t, as in my country almost all larger cities have trams, yet only the biggest has a metro. But I digress).

@Flatworm7591 I heard about libgen and sci-hub from my uni professors. Before that, I never knew anything about them.

@dillo@fosstodon.org Omg, I can’t believe Dillo is still alive! I’m following you rn 😁

Btw, is there also a way to sync the bookmarks to Nextcloud? I am currently on Firefox and I am using Floccus for this.

@clark Ugh. You could probably get away with multiple cloud storage services then, and mapping their folders to the music player of your choice. Also, use file types that are generally smaller in size for storing music (like opus or ogg). For cloud services, use the ones whose apps support Storage Access Framework so they can appear in the default Android File Manager / File Picker thing (you can also use something like Round Sync to access them all, and it does all the job for you). If you’re willing to pay for cloud storage, then one single provider with 100-200 GB can also be more than enough for your music needs if you own more than just a few songs.

Then you can add the folders in your music player settings.

Edit: Don’t forget to also backup your music somewhere in case something happens with your phone or your cloud provider(s)

Where should I store the music?

I just store it in the music folder of every device I own. I have a 1 TB hard drive on my PC and my phone has 128 GB of internal storage, with an SD card slot.

I haven’t any clue about self-hosting. I’m running GrapheneOS, is it enough to save the songs in Files and play in an app like Auxio? Maybe sync with SyncThing?

Yes. Any music player will generally prompt you to scan for your files upon first opening.

Edit: didn’t notice your first question. Well, I just get them from everywhere, lol. If you have a tracker that you use for anything, be sure that there will be some music there. If you cannot find it, then just refer to the FMHY’s list of various tools to download music from just about anywhere: Spotify, YouTube, SoundCloud you name it. I also buy music from Bandcamp as it supports downloading it directly for an unlimited amount of times and in any of the most popular formats, or just go to the band’s concert and buy their album directly. This way you’re also supporting the artists directly with your money (if you care about it).

@Midnitte Trump seems to be the leader that would have literally secured Molotov-Ribbentrop and told France & The UK to stay out or pay for their defense or whatever.

@tardigrada

@rosethornRangerTTV I understand that some buses and other form of transport do not come on time, but on the other hand, one myst acknowledge that everything has a schedule and a time. You can’t force a train not to leave the station just because you didn’t show up on time (I mean, in my country many trains are leaving late anyways, but that’s not the point). You’ll just be delaying other people too.

I tend to be a late person as well, but whenever I have the possibility I either:
a. Put stuff in my calendar, with a notification prior to the event, so that I know when to get ready.
b. Run and/or rush. Literally. I know it isn’t a possibility for many, and it might be dangerous for me (I do my best not to hit into other people when I do and I can dodge really well), but if you hurry up you’ll never be late more than a few minutes, maximum 20. Happens to me every time. If you can’t run, try going at a faster pace.
c. If I see there is a high chance I am not getting there in time, I announce my lateness to the person I meet with so that they won’t be too upset.

I know getting on time can be hard sometimes, but it is a thing up to every single individual to sort out. You sometimes do not have the luxury of getting late somewhere and calling them ableist (even if they might be) might not help you out.

@alyaza Reminds me of Fidias

The crazy part is, this has all been doable basically since around 2 months after the boom in ~April of '21 (or maybe '22 the years have really muddled me)

I know, this possibility has got me worried ever since then. And these things will get harder and harder to spot as the technology moves forward.

I think even if it were banned it wouldn’t matter, since there’s probably a high chance it’s not even entirely done in the U.S.

Of course. The technology is out there in the wild, and everyone willing to use it for their purpose will do just that, whether for good or bad. Imo I think this is a highly complex issue with no easy solution.

This is pretty much useless on everything uploaded to Facebook, Instagram or other mainstream social media platforms.

I wonder how nobody was concerned about this possibility up until now…

Soon they won’t have to complain either

Donald Trump Jr. attacks Harris as “even more liberal (sic) and less competent” than Biden […] “Kamala Harris owns the entire leftwing policy record of Joe Biden. The only difference is that she is even more liberal and less competent than Joe, which is really saying something.”

The only thing that’s saying is that the old man now seems even more scared of any potential countercandidate.

If I was Dems rn, whether it would be Kamala or not, I would just leave the GOP boil for a little (only a little), bring a bit of uncertainty to the table, and then announce the candidate. Not too much, as it would make them seem weak, but just enough to let the GOP consume themselves. That would be quite a move.

Whatever the outcome will be, I am sure the campaign will become hotter. I think the Dems will bring someone with a more radical speech than Trump, and they better do - Trump has shown what he can do during his 2016 campaign.

And the age is not doing a service to Trump either.

@FiskFisk33 never had this problem. Probably because I got used to eat anything with bread, so bread gets finished in a few days.

@memfree I see. I never had this problem fwiw

@memfree I’m keeping my bread in the fridge, but in the bag I bought it in. This way, water has no place to evaporate to.

@neme So you can scan any document in Google Wallet, and scan any document in the Files app as well, and in Google Drive. Thanks, Google, for another round of service duplication!
