I see nobody mentioning airsonic, the open source fork of subsonic. I tried navidrome but there you can't browse through folders or start a 'radio mode' (i.e. play related stuff in your library).

Another problem I found with navidrome are duplicate files in your library: since it is not folder but tag based, you'll end up with every track double, and there is no nice quick way to just play an album each track played once.

Is there a reason why people prefer navidrome over airsonic? Since I switched I feel so much more in control what I want to play.

You have these usb-c to mini jack adapters. They are like 5 to 10eu. They are small enough to keep them attached to your jack headphone. It works perfectly for me.

I think it is better to view the usb-c plug as 'one protocol to rule them all'. If you do so, it makes quite some sense.

Yes that is a good comparison. Similarly, indirect use of handcrafted or no gen ai is impossible to trace / verify / do. You can't handcraft each component for every tool you will be using. Similarly, you can't write your own library / compiler for every software component.

Such a label will indicate only on a high level, 'that technology' is not used. Which I think is fine.

So sad they put space hulk as a limited edition, I just searched and the prices start at 200eu (but typically more). It's a great board game.

Would love another reissue, or just have them put it in their production line.

Well, whatsapp has stories also, but I don't see people using them. I don't like to give my phone number to everybody. And it is very easy if someone has a profile, to look them up and send a follow request. That stuff you won't find with signal stories.

Though, pixelfed lacking stories should be possible to overcome right, given the protocol. If two users can handshake, and the instances accept the handshake, then they should in theory be allowed to send each other stuff. Like, in other fediverse platforms you can also send private messages

What I notice is that people really like the 'my story' functionality of instagram. It's a nice way to share some random stuff, without it being on the internet 'exposed forever and for everybody'. And you can share also something with only close friends, or just followers, etc

I really hate zuck, but I don't think pixelfed has such a functionality yet, right? I feel that, or just something similar, is sort of a main key to getting people make a transition from instagram.

Bluesky/mastodon transition is going pretty well though

It's an convenient way to post about some trending topic, without creating a whole new community for something temporary. For example the eurovision sing festival, or some natural disaster that happened.

And on the other hand, it works for expressing some personal thoughts or memes without having to adhere to a specific topic. But with random strangers instead of only your facebook friends.

I think for these kind of needs, no other social media framework would comply better.

There was a time computers had no text but instead had punch cards
