Some of us want to be known as being opposed to fascism

I too migrated to piefed

More communities Faster development cycles Implemented in Python so way easier to modify

Paraphrasing Robert Heinlein:

Editors are people who like the taste of a drink better after they’ve pissed in it a little

Oooh idea for resistance from corporate salarymen like me

T-shirt that says “salesforce.com” but with both S’s stylized as the Nazi SS angular shapes

Honestly I wish people treated their emotions like their plumbing.

When something is making wierd noises or seems like it’s going whack or spewing shit on you, you call a pro

Human emotions are way way more complex and fiddly than plumbing. Don’t be stupid and wind up covered in feces. Hire a pro.

It will involve corruption and graft of your taxpayer money, tho

Genius military strategists haven’t heard of the Streisand Effect

Salesforce.com if you’d like to avoid it like the plague and make using it tantamount to proudly driving a cybertruck that would be cool

Love my pinhole but it can’t stop YT ads

Say what you will about capitalism, but I do deeply appreciate the fact that “learned the hard way” involves purely economic decisions and no actual threats of violence

TY. super appreciate comments like this from people who’ve already done the work and tried stuff out

When I deployed FunkWhale, I set people up with sub:Sonic on their phones. That is working well (except for the complaint that FunkWhale is “boring” and doesn’t have “features”)

A plus is that FunkWhale has a default web-based player, so as long as the device (eg Smart TV) has a browser, it can stream. Kludgey, but usable.

Thank you this was a really useful comment.

I happen to be an IT guy (but not much of a Networking guy) so between Claude and Stackoverflow I can probably set up “ancillary services”, esp if there are general guides somewhere.

I’m definitely willing to spend more of my own time and money if at the end I have something I truly own. Bonus if I wind up understanding a little more tech in the process.

I wonder how deeply integrated the ads are. Can a PiHole stop them?

Download all you can. You can always stream from audio to a WAV or MP3 and keep that. Or download from YouTube.

Once you actually have a copy of your music you have options. But while it is all inside some asshole’s walled garden, you are at their mercy

Get friends who also value keeping their music. Everyone uploads; everyone benefits

Plex is freemium and only partly open source correct?

That makes me very nervous.
What parts/features are walled off?

If downloading requires $$, then I guarantee it’s just a matter of time before you lose access to “your” music.

Is there a pure open fork?
