As stated, my reason is that I was paying Spotify more money for less music and I was unhappy with that. You pointed out yourself that musicians barely get by in the streaming era so I would rather support them on Bandcamp (I know it has it’s own issues) or buying physical media whenever possible rather than pirating. Streaming platforms may make music you want to listen to seemingly affordable and accessible but that’s not the case for everyone. This is my personal experience.
it’s easier to just sub to something like Apple Music… literally $110/yr for all the music that exists.
As others have stated, not all music exists on every streaming platform. That alone is enough of a reason for me. I recently canceled my longtime Spotify subscription because the price kept increasing while my library kept decreasing. I actually don’t pirate music when I can help it because I’d rather support artists on Bandcamp or purchasing physical media directly. If I can’t do that then I head to Soulseek!
GIMP is fine but who can find me replacements for After Effects and Premiere Pro? I need software for video editing/motion graphics and these are the two apps keeping me shackled to Adobe for now…
I’ve had good luck accessing Channel4 via the NordVPN browser extension in Firefox. Using my desktop VPN (OpenVPN) stopped working some months ago as it was detected by the site but it seems the browser extension flies under the radar.
I’m a MacBook user and I’ve been very happy with AlDente. It took some reading to understand all the features but I really believe it’s made a difference in the health of my battery.
I’ve been searching for music recommendation and playlist generator alternatives to Spotify and this looks great!
I can’t remember the last time I saw a Raspberry Pi for $40, the demand still has prices sky-high
I had trouble using the default port assigned in Nicotine+ too. Try changing the port range to something different if you haven’t already, that’s what got my client working.
I could watch The Emperor’s New Groove all day, every day and never get tired.
Never noticed those bordered corners either, good job spotting them! I just pushed a fix to the stylesheet. I’m not on Github so I’m not sure this theme will be showing up on the official site. If anything I would at least wait until the native Lemmy theme was ready to share.
There is no compact version at the moment. Is the sidebar much smaller in comparison to a native theme in your browser?
Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for as a reference.
Yeah it sucks that there are no free user style extensions for Safari, sorry ☹️
I don’t have plans for a Catppuccin theme, but someone else asked about it on my last post and I found a theme on Github: https://github.com/n3oney/catppuccin-lemmy
Stylus themes only change CSS locally in-browser, I’m still working on a native theme. I will definitely post an update when it’s further along because I’ll need help from others willing to install and test early versions on their own instances!
I just pushed an update with different font selections, I may try to add size selection in a future update as well. For now see if any of the other fonts are easier for you to read!
Thanks for the suggestion, I didn’t know this was a possibility. Just pushed an update that should now include font options!
Not a pain! Quite the opposite. I pushed an update this afternoon that should have fixed the bug, let me know if that helps and/or if you find any other issues. Much appreciated 😄
Yes, apparently! https://github.com/n3oney/catppuccin-lemmy
Streaming my own music was the reason I got into self-hosting in the first place and I’ve been satisfied with Navidrome for over a year now. My preference is to stream via an app on my phone but I’ve made accounts for a couple friends and they stream happily on multiple devices using the browser interface.
