I recently set up a Navidrome/Lidarr setup and I'm beyond thrilled. Works great. I also recommend Symfonium app on android, it's paid, but it's worth it for the quality. On desktop, I'm trying out strawberry, but I find it a bit clunky, so I will probably try out other players. Use beet to download and ebmbed lyrics, and my music has never been better. I immediately ditched Spotify and haven't looked back.

I bought my mom a pixel and installed graphene on it and gave her. She is by no means a power user. Never underestimate the will of nerds to go a step further :)

Beebop, to be precise.

They are getting more aggressive by the day it seems. Luckily I've been windows free for 10 years now. And recently, I switched almost my entire extended family to Linux mint to great success. Only my brother in law still uses win, cause of games, specifically anti cheat - the last hurdle for many people.

I mean, heresy was invented to suppress politically conflicting directions of Christianity. Gnosticism was a popular direction at one point in history, dominating the "mainstream" in some parts of the world. There were more Marcian churches than trinitarian. Gnosticism is only weird from your perspective, after it was already basically outlawed. Admittedly, that is probably a valid justification for calling it with weird, but I'd like to make a distinction that it is not weird on its own, only because it got banned. In fact, in the context of being influenced by Greek philosophy, it was quite logical. Judas gospel was probably not written by Judas, but other, canonical gospels werw probably not written by original authors either, at least some of them.

Makes a bit of sense, since their Mazda 6e is a rebadged changan, but compliance driven design obviously only makes automakers search for loopholes. It basically ends up creating even more waste, as manufacturers only create cars that are not meant to seriously compete in the market. It's a lose-lose situation for everyone but politicians, who trick the public into thinking they are addressing the carbon problem, while at the same time taking money from manufacturers. We need solutions that work, not temporary, pretend solutions.

No, I mean, both graphene and lineage are based on aosp. But graphene supports only one vendor. Lineageos supports many, including google. Why invest in a vendor-locked os and risk loosing it all? I think lineage is a lot more logical choice. And I'm currently running Graphene on a pixel 8, after pixel 7.

If google restricts access to its os, like they have already started, all you'll have is pixel up to 10/11 still supported 10 years from now. They've already started by no longer providing device trees in aosp for their phones, so graphene has to work harder to obtain them now. Whereas if you work on lineage, you potentially have a greater number of vendors and potentially new ones ready to open up to draw in new userbase.

Yes, you make a good point. Even the hardware is locked-down. Not something I would buy at this point. Perhaps as my first printer, but then, it's not cheap exactly.

Whaaat? Drop the OG free Android distribution that has already supported hundreds of phone models across decades for a Google locked hardware with unknown future support from a vendor just announcing locking down everything they can? What is your logic?

Tom Sanladerer pointed some disqualifying flaws at least. Not just praise. But still - as far as I'm considered - no Tux, no Bux. I'd rather buy an inferior or more expensive printer that I can thinker with for as long as I own it, rather than relying on faith to not get locked out of my own printer.

He's OK, but he's still in it to make money, not just for fun.
