Pretty sure that’d be illegal under GDPR.

Yeah, but Bandcamp isn’t an alternative to Spotify.

It’s an alternative to streaming.

Which competitor doesn’t allow them?

We fought the man and won.

I think Anna is a woman’s name. /s

Last attempt to squeeze some money before these formats are abandoned in favor of competition, I guess.

Maybe you should reply to that comment you’ve mentioned and ask them to explain why they’re spreading FUD.

To be fair, I’m actually pleasantly surprised that people didn’t go for it.

It’s not like majority of people seemed to give a shit about privacy not too long ago…

I think you misread it. “Private”, as in “privacy”.

Yeah, I’m still wired, so that definitely helps.

I can’t wait for Steam Frame tho…

I’ve been using Linux exclusively for the past few years, even VR games work fine since a while.

There’s so much shit that simply doesn’t work

People complaining about Wayland always like to say that, but usually don’t give any specific examples.

If it really was so bad then all major distros and DEs wouldn’t be actively working to switch.

For what it’s worth, since a few years Wayland works better on my PC than X11 ever did, and with more features.

Except they responded to a post talking about an Arch-based distro, so Fedora isn’t relevant here.

What kind of argument is that?

It’s already in AUR, you can install it right now if you want.

Optimization? Did you mean to write monopolistic, anti-competitive, and unethical practices?

Because if there’s one thing Nvidia knows how to do, it’s to play dirty.

Tidal doesn’t even have anything over Spotify.
Their version of Spotify Connect barely works at the best of times, on my AV I couldn’t get it to work at all.

And Qobuz… isn’t even available in a bunch of countries.

For me, the only real alternative is piracy and setting up my own streaming.
But I’m too lazy for that, so with Spotify at least the artists get paid something, and I can be reasonably certain that whatever I want to listen to will actually be available.

Also, Bandcamp was sold a while ago and fired half their staff, so not sure about ethics here.

Yeah, I remember, now we still have Windows being vulnerable, but in addition we also have untested changes pushed automatically to paying customers.

Forced updates are great!

Sure looks like a paywall to me, except you get a choice of a currency you can pay with.

Oh, great. The best part is that for some of these publishers there’s literally no legal way to read their manga online.

Unless you think Japan and USA are the only 2 countries in the world, I guess…

Simple auth was honestly one of the upsides for me.

Plex claims to have an offline mode, but I could never got it to work, for some reason.
And I got pissed off one too many times when my Internet went down and I couldn’t watch anything from the NAS a few meters away…

What’s better, exactly?

I switched years ago from Plex to Jellyfin, and while the UI wasn’t quite as nice, everything else is better.
And I don’t have to pay to use HW transcoding on my own hardware…
