Totally agree. I don’t have the energy to fight a battle on his behalf, so I put it out there to avoid it. I found it to be helpful for people starting out and wanted to share it.

It entirely depends where you live. You can pay certain organizations for blanket rights to most songs and it’s extremely expensive.

Some options if you still want to broadcast are:

• Use royalty free music/public domain
• Go to Bandcamp/YouTube/Soundcloud and ask smaller artists permission to play their music on your station
• Ask around your local scene and see if artists around your area give you permission to play their music.
• Roll the dice and hope for obscurity to keep you safe

Currently I opted to put everything behind a password and only use it for myself. Once I’m more confident on building solid programming, I might look into starting a station for local and small artists with their permission.

Also the spreadsheet if you aren’t already aware.

Yes, I’m around. I wouldn’t mind the help since I’ve been sorting out a lot of personal things lately.

Added!

I might go that direction too. It seems far more mature. Last I checked komga didn’t have ebook support which was a must, but it seems that’s changed recently.

I haven’t really needed them much, but I’ve had good experience with imgbb.com

None that I’m aware of. I don’t even believe you can get it on the phone (through modified app).

It’s $1, for infinite licenses. Plus you can message him for a free one.

From the text you replied to:

Admittedly, this isn’t always the case

I believe you’re looking for a debate, where I was wanting discussion. Take care.

I love open source in an ethical sense, and I use it to meet all of my media and storage needs. Even my operating system is open source. However, as a consumer, I also value having the best possible experience. Companies can provide better and more refined experiences in many ways, often by leveraging their deep pockets.

I don’t mind paying for services that offer great value or save me time. The problem that most companies face, though, is that I expect them to respect both me and my privacy.

If we were to eliminate privacy infringements from proprietary software and make it open source, it would often become best-in-class within the open source community (e.g., Photoshop, Microsoft Office, etc.). Admittedly, this isn’t always the case, but all of this is to say that there can be arguments in favor of providing a service that respects the end user and their privacy, which warrants further discussion.

If it wasn’t Meta, I would almost be okay with this. If I genuinely believed that my privacy was being preserved, I think it’d be a fair trade.

I’ve liked Season 6 significantly better than everything else after season 2. It’s not nearly as good, but most of the lame BS isn’t there.

I totally agree. It doesn’t make any sense at this price. I just wanted to share it, and see what other people thought about it.

Think of it as different home screen. I personally like it, because the original home screen was slow and bloated with things I didn’t care about. I just want it to launch Plex, YouTube, Jellyfin, etc.

That sucks, I’m mostly a desktop user, so that’s unfortunate to know.

Yep, I think the last sentence was a sneak preview of the new voice. Although, that was explicitly communicated.

Yeah, I just post things that I find and like, or find interesting. Lol I only have a few internal rules, like:

• No political BS (let’s just chill and hangout)
• Nothing inflammatory, or targeted (unless it messes with right to repair, or tech privacy)
• Nothing hyper localized (like a city)

Everything else that’s interesting is on the table!
