Also, the worst hemmeroids ever and a special CEO diet consisting of nothing but exlax and habanero peppers.

And the Tidal app has an amoled dark mode, which I don’t think Spotify has. Sometimes the little quality of life things make a big difference.
I’d be active in there. So many companies hide their pricing and gimmicks so you don’t know until you start using it. There’s few advertisements for useful unshittifying tools like RES or the one that fixes Facebook, tools that let you download Instagram photos, etc. Free alternatives like grrrrmin which can generate strava-likeheatmaps from your Garmin data can also be hard to find. Lemmy has been good for this, as Reddit once was. There are a lot if things that are only usable to me after extensive unshittifying.
I switched from Spotify when they cut my family off of my plan because some of them don’t always live with me. I like Tidal a lot, but wish it was easier for me to share a song with friends who don’t use it. Ironically, I don’t think any family members but my dad actually use my Tidal plan, so basically I just switched out of spite.
Those last 2 lines really sum it up don’t they. If Windows was a family member you would disown them.
I had to do all the same things on my work computer. If MS could stop shitting all over my taskbar that would be an amazing expression of basic decency. I’m about to go to IT and ask for a Linux computer that I can test with my day to day tools to make sure everything works. Typically only a few devs have them and those of us in support roles are on Windows. Microsoft is literally sapping away the time and effort my employer has paid me to put towards their customers. I use Linux at home and it has none of these problems. Actually, the worst problem I’ve had in years was a broken package that I simply uninstalled and re-added from a different source.
I don’t feel the change as strongly as you do, but I agree and I’m also on KDE for the customizability and plethora of features after leaving gnome during the early days of Gnome 3. That and the traditional non-touch desktop experience. It’s shame to see stuff go, but I’m happy the kept activities and brought back the cube. If I wanted a simple environment with minimal customizability I’d reinstall Budgie. I hope KDE stays true to itself and keeps being awesome. I’m rooting for them even in times of skepticism.
Plucker was/is a format that was used to save copies of a web page for offline reading in the pre-smartphone days when people were still using palm PDAs. It’s been a few decades so my recollection is a bit fuzzy.
This would look good with the purple theme from that theme roundup that was posted somewhat recently. I’m still rocking it too and I’m normally an alpha black kind of user.
Same here. I prefer to do 9/10 tasks on a desktop vs a phone, but sometimes I leave the house to go places. I would love to be able to dock my phone and carry a folding mouse rather than having to manage syncing a device for each stage of portability.
I’m cool with you stopping for now because I’m still vibing with this all-purple drip from last time, but I’ll be genuinely sad if we don’t get another one of these quality theme showcases in the future!
Thank you for sharing these articles. Seeing how some of these themes look when configured “properly”, vs how they look when I cobble them together with icons, plasma, cursers, wallpapers, etc. of my choosing is really interesting. KDE Plasma is looking beautiful!
There were apps out there to help with this when I switched from Spotify to Tidal. I can’t remember the name anymore though. It just sucks up all your saved songs and playlists, matches them in the other service then adds them. Almost everything I had moved over without a problem. I do miss the social aspect of Spotify, being able to share links with friends. No one I know has tidal except the people on my family plan. There are services that will turn your song link into a linktree like page with links for Spotify, tidal, YouTube music, deezer, etc., but that’s clunky.
