And no healthcare.

Holy cow, icecast is still around? I remember that being a thing during the time of Winamp. Man, now I feel old.

-edit–

Although, I might be remembering shoutcast, not sure. I never had fast internet so I never really used any of the streaming services like icecast or shoutcast.

People call it early morning. I dunno what to say dude. You’re fighting against how long? of established nomenclature

I forget which exact midnight represents, but the immediate second after midnight would be the ‘morning’ of the next day. If you’re born at 12:00:01am or 00:00:01 in military time, then you’d be born the next day.

No doubt, I can separate the historical significance of something, from my feelings. The NES was amazing for the gaming industry, and changed history forever. But I still hate Nintendo, lol

Such a shame, I grew up with Nintendo’s products starting with the SNES, and loved them. Unfortunately they’re such a terrible company to their own fans, I now absolutely hate them. I will probably never buy another product from them again.

I guess it’s easier packaged in a torrent rather than individual downloads, but I do question why anyone would need this if all they were doing was training AI, as everything is already available on YouTube for free. You don’t need to hack a company to get the audio. Now if you’re a human trying to actually listen to the songs, obviously the Spotify torrent will sound much better, assuming the hack captured the higher quality audio streams from Spotify. All the youtube downloaders sound like crap because its like 128kbps m4a (at least on newpipe, though you can do 160kbps opus if you want)

I believe if you install Ubuntu Touch on it, VoLTE either should work now, or is being added soon.

If you install Ubuntu Touch on it, everything works because its using the vendor’s android kernel for hardware drivers. PostmarketOS is using the standard Linux kernel and a LOT of volunteer hours have been spent by people reverse engineering the hardware without manufacturers help, to get working drivers added to the Linux kernel. That’s why not 100% of the hardware works yet on most phones postmarketOS supports.

My gripe with ubuntu Touch is I like the app ecosystem and desktop interface (gnome mobile) better with postmarketOS, so I’d rather run that instead.

As far as fairphone goes, fairphone 5 is probably your best bet. Audio is almost working, that just leaves camera, VoLTE, and NFC (which I personally don’t use, so I don’t care) Everything else should work

Ugly open source software is my favorite because i know the feature set is gonna be freaking awesome. I remember when I first started to transition to open source as an idea 15 years ago, and the sometimes ugly software was hard to get used to at first, but then I realized the ugly software did so much more than the fancy windows stuff and i really started to get used to and even like the ugly stuff. It’s designed to do the thing it was designed to do, and stays out of my way, fantastic!

So zoidberg made out like a bandit!

I just had someone not hold the door for me, after I held the door for them and they acknowledged it, and said thank you. 🤷

I was walking towards the entrance of a building, texting on my phone and didn’t realize someone was walking behind me as I got to the main doors. So I apologized to the woman (for being in her way), put my phone away and held the door open and let her go in first. She said “thanks!”

Then we went through the 2nd set of inner doors she opened the door and didn’t bother holding it open for me or look back or anything. Just pulled it open just enough for her to squeeze through and let the door start to close in my face.

People are fun.

That was my polite way of ending the conversation, I disagreed with the person, but I got tired of arguing about the metaphore and burgers, etc with someone who was clearly not gonna let this go.

“I don’t like being watched while consuming anything, really.”

“Yeah, but bro, you’re too stupid to realize why they’re doing it, let me tell you why!”

So… Can you opt out and talk to a person without having your face scanned? I really don’t want another piece of identity that can be stolen and used against me in the form of identity theft or worse, in yet another database.

I don’t really use them, so I don’t have much of an opinion, but I agree with your assessment.

I guess I should put more mindfulness into how I’m consuming restaurant food then, lol either way I think we can put this hypothetical to bed.

I’m commenting on literally being watched though, so let’s say you get up to go to the bathroom after your first bite the chef marks that as ‘didn’t like his burger’ because you took a bite (watched 1 episode) and didn’t continue to binge eat the burger (binge the whole season by the end of the month), BAM because you had a life event you couldn’t control, you now hate the burger and hate the show.

This is not a fun way to consume anything.

The thing I hated about Netflix was the stress of knowing i was being watched with my viewing habits and that affected how they decided to cancel or continue shows.

Imagine being a customer at a restaurant and the chef is in the back watching you eat, saying things like:

“well, if he doesn’t eat the whole thing in less than 10 minutes that means he probably hated it and won’t continue to buy more burgers, so we should just remove it from the menu now and never serve that burger again.”

Who the fuck wants to ‘relax’ and watch stuff when i know if I start watching something and stop after episode 1 because I liked it, realize my partner might also like it, and I wait 3 months to watch it together (not within their 30 day or whatever window), knowing that might contribute to Netflix canceling a show that I fucking liked in the first place!

SO RELAXING GUYS!

So no, I don’t stream stuff anymore. I’m sick of paying for content that constantly gets canceled, and also experiencing stress while doing so.
