So I’m going to put this out there, why watch this content on a Android that we will have less and less control over as time goes on?

Grab a laptop with Linux on it and go wild. I now have a computer hooked up to my TV and I don’t have to worry about any of Google’s bullshit

I’m having issues getting the microphone on my sony headphones to work on my steam deck. I was figuring it is due to missing drivers as well

Anyone know any resources or books along the same nature as this? I feel like I need to rewire my brain

This was at a sports game months ago. You can see the scoreboard up top

Fuck you Spotify

Those poor kids

Last year I completed 10 years worked at a company. I got a generic card basically saying to keep up the good work.

Someone else I worked with got a pin after 15 years.

I heard at 20 years you get a coffee mug.

What a joke

Yeah it was better before smart phones. Pre 2010 I would say was the peak for tech in our world. Smart phones were coming out, but not widely adopted by everyone yet. Flip phones solved the problem of being able to contact people when you were out, but they did not have apps that sucked your soul away.

If we had never advanced past dumb phones then the world would be a better place.

7 Digital and Bandcamp

Spotify has been garbage for so long. I left when the Joe Rogan stuff got so bad and artists were demanding to have their music removed from Spotify in response.

You can buy music and maintain your own personal collection. It was not as hard as I thought it would be and the quality is so much higher. Artists get more of the money as well from you.

Can you get 320 or Flac with this though?

Yeah PS5 has killed consoles for me I think. I have always had a Playstation, but when I got a Steamdeck and I was able to play every game ever and online was free. It showed me Playstation’s major limitations. Then they released that terrible Steamdeck like controller with the screen where you could only stream games to it from your PS5 and it was super expensive. Sony is out of touch with what consumers want.

I’ve been super disapointed by the PS5. Games sucked and I basically only played my PS4 games on it. I’ll build a PC now before I buy another console.

I was using xmanager for a long time, then I moved on from Spotify altogether. I think it depends on how you use Spotify. I was really trying to hold onto streaming music because I didn’t want to loose my playlists, but when I looked at my Wrapped every year, I was listening to the same artists and songs alot of the time.

For me it made more sense to buy the music I loved, rather than pay a monthly fee to listen to the same tracks. Now I have a great currated music collection on my phone that I control. If you decide to buy music, 7digital and Bandcamp are great.

Glad I left Spotify

I think it’s probably more trouble than it is worth

I had a course where the teacher basically said you would have a hard time passing if you did not have a windows laptop because it was the only OS that worked well with their program.

The program was Excel workbooks

I play it on my steam deck all the time and it runs great. Frame rate is fairly consistent

I’ve been just buying the music on 7digital or Bandcamp lately. Forgot this app was around
