The fact Qobuz has a download store is great, though I've heard they've stopped people from downloading from the website, forcing you to use the app. Not so great.

Same with ListenBrainz. I actually coded a manual scrobbling plugin for MusicBrainz Picard to handle things like this. Should get that through to the MusicBrainz guys.

For last.fm there are apps on Mac that do the job, on Windows with the AM Preview I found AMWin-RP which is mainly a Discord rich presence handler but also does last.fm too.

Kind of in the same boat right now. I'm using Apple Music right now for the following:

  • Lossless should be the base level at this point, not a premium.
  • The library management in Apple Music is way superior to Spotify, especially for uploading local files. Going to upload some Bandcamp stuff to my Apple Music library in the future.
  • I have an issue on Spotify for Android where my 10k+ liked songs list slows to a crawl. This doesn't happen to Apple Music. Yeah, it's choppy when scrolling but I'd rather that than Spotify taking seconds to load the list.

Though it's not perfect...

  • there's no Linux client at all, and though Cider is a great effort there's some things that I miss using it (gapless playback is one, it's essential for album listeners like myself) so I'm having to install a Windows VM to run Apple Music.
  • There's some weird gaps in some artists' libraries. I listen to quite a bit of Kaskade, and I find it weird that some of his music isn't on Apple Music in the UK even though it is on Spotify.
  • Scrobbling is an issue. I actually coded a manual scrobbler plugin for MusicBrainz Picard to deal with this.

The smearing he tried to do towards Christian was the moment I decided I was packing my bags and going. What a piece of shit. Only subs I truly miss are r/HobbyDrama and r/Eurovision.

I've had that happen to me on Reddit too. Firefox really needs a fork that's similar to Vivaldi IMO. Something that brings the power users back to Gecko since Vivaldi is doing a better job for them than Firefox has in the last few years. They even got on the fediverse before Mozilla did.

FWIW, Common Crawl - a free/open-source dataset of crawled internet pages - was used by OpenAI for GPT-2 and GPT-3 as well as EleutherAI's GPT-NeoX. Maybe on GPT3.5/ChatGPT as well but they've been hush about that.

Have you tried Nobara? It has patches for the Surface models bundled in its kernels. That being said, the Nobara kernel is in the AUR too so you could run that on Endeavour too.

I now have the mental image of Spez frantically struggling to explain to advertisers why their posts were appearing besides werewolf breeding zone memes. So thanks for that.

I don't really use social media for that, to be honest. I just get info from my friends, but if I seek out news myself I'll usually just check the BBC, free news that has to be as impartial as possible. Maybe the Financial Times is alright too, but they paywall their articles and they're more intended for investors than the average person.

I really need to watch that new Puss in Boots. Watched Shrek 2 months ago and found it okay - it only made me more hyped for PIB.

Xbox controller or DualSense, depends on if I'm playing PlayStation or not.

I think the Vision Pro is the only headset I know of that officially supports prescription lenses. I honestly wished other headsets supported them officially.
