So what do they actually offer, on top of the work of creative people making music? Not much.

OK, so I left Spotify for Navidrome a while back BUT. What Spotify sells isn't music. Spotify sells curation and recommendations. Most people aren't music lovers that want to hunt for cool new music. They just want a pre-generated list of songs that they'll more or less like. That's actually kinda huge.

A recommendation engine is something I wish fediverse or open source would tackle. I'm on Navidrome now, but I'm definitely listening to way less music now—access isn't an issue—I just haven't had time to hunt around for new music. Investigating new bands takes time. On Spotify, you do it without even really thinking about it.

a place where nationwide laws are defaults, but smaller hierarchies can pass laws to supercede the higher defaults?

Hm... that kinda doesn't seem too useful, no? What would even be the point of the higher government if you can just completely ignore them locally?

I’ve tried the foam earplugs from a drugstore/chemist’s. They’re extremely difficult to put in properly

There's definitely a right and wrong way to put these in. I used to just stuff them in my ear because I didn't think I needed instructions on how to use them. But, I recently learned I was doing it wrong. After watching this video, putting them on was way easier AND they also blocked out way more noise.

But, yeah, they do get dirty after a few uses. Although, they're way cheaper than Loop... soo... idk.

Awesome, thanks!

LOL! YES! I remember hearing, "Maybe that's what he said, but that's not what he meant."

Hey, that's a win. I'll take it.

Leaving a social media platform often forces content creators to start over from scratch on a new site.

Don't Lemmy and Mastodon also have this problem to some extent? Like, all the comms on lemm.ee will have to start over on new instances, no? Is it possible to migrate all subscribers, comments, and posts? Or just partial migrations?

Yep. I didn't realize the flatpak version worked better. I never get those manual update prompts anymore and Software Center automatically updates Discord when there are updates.

The Ratta Supernote A6X2 Nomad is 329USD, cheaper than the devices you found. The A5X2 (bigger) is 505USD though.

Devices I've owned:

  • reMarkable 1 (boo subscription!)
  • reMarkable 2 (boo subscription!)
  • Supernote A5X (happy with this one)

I currently own the Supernote A6X2 and I'm super happy with it. I use it almost every day to diagram stuff for programming. I also read technical books on it. The Supernote A5X (the previous version) was also very good. I just ended up liking the smaller size better.

My favorite feature is that Supernote does NOT require a subscription! The device also has plenty of other features. You can read PDFs and ebooks, of course. You can even install the Kindle app on it, though you can't install any Play Store app. The palm blocking is good. There are gestures to help you write faster. There's a shape tool. Different pencil sizes, highlighters. Paper backgrounds. Hand writing recognition. And you don't need to buy replacement pen tips!

Supernote cons vs reMarkable:

  • The Supernote isn't as polished as the reMarkable. The Supernote definitely isn't bad, especially the newer A6X2, but it does feel a notch below reMarkable in terms of the build feel.
  • If you really, really, REEEEAAALLY want to pretend you're writing with a pencil and paper, then the reMarkable will be closer to that. Writing on the Supernote is just different. It's more like writing on a notebook with a pen.

I went to one of those corporate places for an oil change ... This fell off sometime on my drive home from work.

Exact same thing happened to me. Ever since then, I do my own oil changes.

Although, there's definitely a startup cost. If you're tight on cash, then I wouldn't recommend it.

I guess the splash shield isn't essential for driving... although, you should probably get it back on at some point. It'll keep the elements out of the engine a bit. Getting water down there will probably lead to corrosion in the future. Not to mention rocks that could dent things down there.

It shouldn't actually be too hard to put it back on. It's usually just held on by plastic screws. You just need to buy replacement screws (a few bucks) and find a screw driver. The hard part would be lifting the car high enough so you can crawl under it. Then just line up the holes and put the screws on.

Source First License 1.1: https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/grayjay/-/blob/master/LICENSE.md

This is a non-open source license. They were claiming to be open source at one point, but they've listened to the community and stopped claiming they were open source. They are not trying to be Open Source™.

They call themselves "source first". https://sourcefirst.com/

They're trying to create a world where developers can make money from writing source first software, where the big tech oligarchy can't just suck them dry.

 

Those commitments and principles are under threat. Synadia, the original donor of the NATS project, has notified CNCF of its intention to “withdraw” the NATS project from the foundation and relicense the code under the Business Source License (BUSL)—a non-open source license that restricts user freedoms and undermines years of open development.

Again. From the beginning.

How was this translated to metric?

 

How often does Organic Maps pull map updates from OpenStreetMap? Can I manually trigger the update or do I have to wait? Does the update happen automatically or do I have to delete the current map data I have and then redownload it?

 

I've been messing around with Magic Earth and Organic Maps recently.

I immediately noticed that when I type a home address in Magic Earth, the app can take me to the exact house on the block.

However, when I type the same home address in Organic Maps, the app can only take me to the street where the house is. It can find the exact house.

Why is this the case? I thought both Magic Earth and Organic Maps used the same map data behind the scenes...

 
 

I have pretty simple, straightforward finances. I don't need any pro features.

Does anyone have any shoutouts for their preferred tax preparation software?
