Self host, takes less time then you think after the initial library build. Easy to do in a weekend. If you have some money to spend on music then buy music from the artists you love. Can all be in one place, none of this exclusive garbage, quality as high as you want, can rip music that’s never been released digitally, and I think most importantly - access to your music library without an algorithm telling you what to listen to. You’ll be surprised how your listening habits change and how well you know your music after jumping off the engagement treadmill.

How else do you expect anyone to take this? 🙄

Rebranding it to WLBR feels like throwing all of that away for the sake of optics that most longtime users like myself frankly don’t care about.

Because to you it’s virtually meaningless other than some weird nostalgia. For schools it’s the difference between a teacher being able to promote the software to 30 kids at a time or not. You may think that’s stupid, so does the teacher, it doesn’t matter.

The fact that longtime users like yourself can’t see the value in anyone else’s opinion here is pretty on point in my experience with this community.

Supports Wayland colour management now, nice! Good step forward for artists.

This entire thread is about Russia’s war of conquest against Ukraine. 🤦‍♂️

That’s obviously not true in the modern era. The vast majority of governments do not initiate wars of conquest and have not in decades.

Correct. That’s how boycotts work. The people of Russia should increase pressure on their government if they don’t like current outcomes. Nobody is blaming them personally but putting any money into that economy ends up killing innocent people in Ukraine.

Compared to windows on the same machine maybe. It won’t be anywhere near a Windows arm or especially Apple arm machine. They’re nuts. Linux still worth the battery hit anyway for many people.

I mean you’re memorizing a GUI as well. I don’t work in this field at all but docker compose files are pretty straightforward even for me. Took like 15 minutes to figure out and now it’s much quicker to get set up than any other option.
