My Dad convinced me to try it, as a way to learn more about how computers work (ie without Windows). I installed Ubuntu and didn't like GNOME, but once I saw that all the same programs I used on Windows were still available on Linux, I knew it was worth finding the right distro. I used Linux Mint for awhile because Cinnamon DE was nice, but eventually I needed a more up to date version of something (I can't remember what) so I installed Arch with KDE instead. I've used it ever since.

I don't reaaly play MMOs, but I had a lot of fun with Star Wars: The Old Republic. I put over 300 hours in to do all the class stories.

Yeah that was disappointing. If they had taken their time with a sequel to narrow down what works it could have been great.

Nothing could have followed up and be better than or even match the Mass Effect trilogy. Andromeda attempts to be its own thing and I respect the evolution of a franchise over time. I'm not saying Andromeda was perfect, but only that it's good enough. It's a good way to waste time even if it isn't a 100% good waste of time.

Keep at it EU gamers!

I thought the story was great. It started slow but really picked up in the second half. And the gameplay really reinforced the idea of exploring a new galaxy by having the Mako driving around interestingly designed planets, instead of the boring procedureally generated ones in ME1. The only thing weird about the gameplay was having a jump button but I got used to it pretty quick.

Andromeda was a good game after they fixed all the bugs. All they have to do is launch it in a playable state, which is nearly impossible for modern devs

It's not the ads I hate, it's the data harvesting I hate. Static ads without trackers don't exist on YouTube, unfortunately.

It's the playlist link that's the problem. It ends with playlist?list=LM which stands for "Liked Music". The downloader doesn't know your account's liked music playlist. It needs a playlist ID like playlist?list=PLO7q4X25LQEEyJAQe5EEwJxUCSKvuKbok

Basically you need the songs to be in a different playlist

I did some testing, it looks like the auto generated "Liked Music" playlist doesn't have a proper URL that can point to the music.

A workaround seems to be adding the playlist to the queue, then saving the queue to a new playlist, and using that new playlist URL.

That way you can remove the "music." part from the "music.youtube.com" and use it like a regular YouTube playlist.

If that doesn't work for you it might be a DRM issue with how your phone is attempting to download the data. I used my desktop.

You can use yt-dlp with the -x flag to extract the audio with the link to the playlist. You can specify the audio format too, it's a powerful tool.

yt-dlp -x link_to_playlist
