Yep. Spotify and such are getting expensive. And the service is getting worse.

Trying to shove podcasts and other features down your throat all in one UI.

Please just show me tabs with artists, songs, and playlists. Spotify is so cluttered.

Yes, that's with a paid plan.

What you were experiencing was a free tier limitation

It took me a second to understand "cishet" I'm not used to seeing both terms smudged together and shortened line that

If I ever do have children, this is one of the things I want to teach them.

Hopefully, it turns into an important memory for them.

Learning about technology from their parents' and how it isn't magic.

I tried buying the BluRay to one of the recent Spider-Man movies. Unfortunately, due to DRM, I could not play it in my BluRay drive on my PC? I might have had to download some proprietary video playback software or something.

I realized that this too was such a hassle compared to the files that I could potentially download. As great as physical media is, the convenience factor plays an impact for me. I want to own my media, but I have to put in work and have a non-ideal setup to watch it.

On top of everything, with all the intros, and piracy warnings, just so many layers of non-comvenience.

I suppose if it's a lan based game it would work fine

Anything with official servers is unlikely to work

Needing to rotate just makes it inconvenient. More inconvenient than pirating unfortunately

Why do we need a podcast focused server. Podcasts for the most part are free. Just need a client like AntennaPod and listen away

Of all the comparisons you could make, you compared it to a website you can buy the files, and download them DRM free?

This is the one example where you can actually keep the files even if the band deleted their account.

It would definitely be a solution for me. Two beers in and I'd be safer in a bus than behind the wheel.

Also, if you're drunk as a skunk, all these outcomes are better for everyone than getting behind the wheel and messing up somebody else's life.

It's been a piece of cake syncing with Syncthing
