kde, linux, busses, open source and the good old Grateful Dead.
I never did get a music subscription of any kind. Guess I am glad about that now. I just host my own server. Spotify never had a quarter of what I want to listen to anyways so I guess there is that.
Listening to Legion of Mary 12-10-1974 right now.
Cool. I guess I was wondering if the package maintainer had set a configuration to pull those in automatically, or if Clementine was designed to do that. But in any case, thanks for the reply.
I looked and I do not see anything like that. Who packaged your version I wonder.
That is interesting. Now I am going to have to run Wireshark and see if anything is going on with mine.
Shame if so, it is the most feature rich music player.
Man Amarok was amazing back in the day, but that was many days ago.
It still might be good, and kudos for the effort, but Clementine has already surpassed Amarok. It would be nice to the effort going to either Continue clementine development, or make Strawberry as feature complete as Clementine and go on from there.
XP was bad enough that I was determined to switch to Linux then. I think you have Rose colored glasses.
2000 was windows Peak.
That is such a bummer, and I blame the music manufacturers.
I have a dedicated Linux laptop for all my guitar effects to replace the foot pedals. I have found I need to pay attention to what I buy to integrate into my system, but they are out there.
I switched in 2003, and I was happy to do it back then. I have an MSDN, support windows application development and back end Microsoft Services for a living. I still can’t stand their crap.
I do everything I could do in windows, play games, and generally have a better experience. If I absolutely need to access a windows desktop, I can RDP in an pay as you go Azure virtual desktop. But I will never have windows at home again.
All the schools I have seen are using Google docs and sheets.
According to the current class action lawsuit, the privacy settings for the app store do nothing. So consent doesn’t matter. Building a digital fingerprint after explicitly saying they don’t might be called spying.

I could, but you would think their own driver would work!
Not a pain on Linux at all. Printing is a breeze. As is scanning. Go figure.
My scanner/printer works flawlessly ij Linux. It’s fantastic. I cannot get it to work in windows, but no big deal I rarely use windows anyways.
But it is amusing that it simply will not work in windows.
And this printer is from 2023.
Funny. I had a laptop that would do full speed and full security. But not in windows. They crippled the card with the driver, unless you paid more.
Ubuntu has caused me far more headaches and downtime than Arch. Go figure.
And to make this be a worthwhile comment: I wonder if it is because I use Arch (and derivatives) that Ubuntu causes issues. When something isn’t right, I try and fix it. In Arch I can. In Ubuntu it seems like a dozen paper cuts to get there and it may not work in the long run anyway. Oh the Snap doesnt have foo compiled in? No problem I can add it to the snap directory. No, that didnt work. Ok I will remove it and bring in a .deb file. Dependencies not met. Fine, I will compile it from source… and by that time I have wasted a TON of time.
I prefer black backgrounds in general. Do these have counterparts for dark theming?
The only wallpaper I really liked after all these years is Haenau. Is it going to be dropped in 6? I really like simply themes, but the subtle constant change is a nice to have. It works with light AND dark themes.
Postgis and Qgis don’t require windows. ArcGIS is such bloat ware. They live by the cult following rather than merit.
There was a good version of windows 7 set up for this. Command prompts wouldn’t work right, and really messed with them if you gave then access.
I let one in once and managed to reverse the remote desktop and took over their computer.
That was fun.
Americans are at 36% lactose intolerant. Which is surprisingly, to me anyways, high.
And should corn and cattle get the bulk of the subsidies? If it’s about food alone, maybe not.
You misspelled Ubuntu.
