Man Google had it just right with Google music and books. Of course they threw it all away.

I was a big fan of Google music because I was able to upload my own music on to the cloud and they would help me tag albums. The streaming of new music was just the cherry on top and it was awesome when Google told me to check out a new album based on what I uploaded previously. Not only that, but they let you pay for music that you wanted to keep offline as well.

Now it's all crammed into YouTube, which is horrible for music as it was never designed for music anyway

To this day, I still think this was the best compromise all around and it seemed very ethical and modern to the way we consume music.

It could if they actually let you download the content for a change.

And no I mean original quality, not split up undecipherable files that are hard to organize outside of their platform

As much as I hate Google. I think they are king with document collaboration and sharing.

That's why I used Kodi, a Plex server, and modded youtube. Fuck ads and fuck subscriptions

So my dietpi setup stopped working out of the blue. I use Plexamp over the Internet and it's been steady until a couple months ago.

Long story short, I panicked. I reinstalled dietpi on my SD card, but then realized I wasn't able to connect my phones hot spot to it (I don't have a lan line currently) so then I just said screw it and download the bloated Ubuntu as it "just works" sometimes. Thankfully I was able to get my internet working this way albeit.

So now I'm downloading Plex media server. And things started to finally sync on the browser and it worked for like 5 minutes before all my Plex accounts started showing offline again. What am I doing wrong here? Do I really need to ask my neighbor to let me use their Ethernet connection to setup my raspberry pi? Guys is there a way I can just use a hotspot for now for this? Why is this so difficult?

To make matters worse, I was going to install rustdesk so I could plug the thing into my neighbors router again, and remote access things. But Ubuntu connection on rustdesk disconnects every 7 seconds. What do I do?

Made a thread about what other social media Lemmings use, and I was shocked by the amount of Meta platforms in the replies. in c/memes@lemmy.ml

Wouldn't sponsorblock be enough?

Actually you can't anymore

YouTube's next move might make it virtually impossible to block ads in c/technology@lemmy.world

I mean, yeah. It did so for years.

I'm a big fan of the way Plex does it. I paid like 100 dollars a decade ago and all my apps stay up to date forever

What's great about it is that it's optional and not forced on you. I'm a Plexamp power user so it makes sense to me with my expansive music collection
