I’d wager he means something like the fediverse, reddit, various microblogging sites. There are plenty sharing experiences working for Google, Apple and what not.
I saw a comment expressing this ruling is only applicable to e-books where there already exists an e-book from the publisher, and that it won’t affect media preservation or books that have been scanned (e.g., old textbooks) and that do not have an e-book. Is this true? If so, it’s not all bad.
And wasn’t that what we were promised by capitalism? That we could own our land, our homes and our lives. But even that, they’re turning back on, except for the privileged few. Back to feudalism it is.
Chick-fil-a starting a streaming service sounds like the worst idea ever.
For sure. And Libreoffice doesn’t constantly try to make you save your documents in OneDrive…
This is an interesting point as well. Before, if you weren’t happy with an update or whatnot, you could just keep running the older version. But nowadays that’s impossible in many cases.
I see your point. But as someone else mentioned, there are many programs, apps and what not that shouldn’t require a subscription just by looking at how the software or hardware is set up.
Absolutely. I constantly revisit the services I subscribe to, but to be honest, I still keep some streaming services on a constant subscription even though my viewing patterns differ from month to month. In that case I’m just too lazy, and it’s not a huge hit to my disposable income. I pay for it to be available when I want to use them. I think this might be the case for many others, and coupled with not having a budget and/or financial sense, this can definitely add up for many. I also think many people just forget what services they are subscribed too, and barely even watch their bank account/credit card slip and what’s being withdrawn.
I’ve never found a use for any of this. I only utilise a calendar. How complicated are your people’s lives?
I’d say this might be true for programs, but as long as you download movies, shows and music I’d assume it’s fine as long as you use common sense.
But not run by the original owners. And the current team is really shady. I wouldn’t trust downloading an .exe from there.
Yeah I don’t really get why I should pay like $20, or even more, yearly, for a service that just serves free podcasts, and where the money doesn’t go to the creators at all. I like sync… but that doesn’t justify the price.
Cool, too bad I shut down my NC server a while ago…
I did check it out earlier but feels a bit clunky that it must run the audio stream in a separate program. This means it’ll inherently lack some functions like going back or forward 15 seconds with the press of a button as this is a function mostly inherent to podcast players, not e.g. VLC. Not the biggest issue but still.
Grover Podcast seemed promising, too bad it’s not open source. Might run with it either way if I can’t find anything better.
Thanks!
You were thinking about me emulating eg. AntennaPod? Thanks, I’ve used it before but it takes up a lot of resources and feels a bit sluggish
Thanks a lot! Sounds perfect, and definitely like the things I want to run too! Yeah I currently run Jellyfin on my workstation as well as my drives are all connected to it, but yeah maybe if I decide to make a NAS in the future I might look at getting some other hardware than this thin client. So Jellyfin on this piece isn’t a must.
