    I use Jellyfin and Finamp and they work fine. All the old navidrome and airsonic solutions seem to be dead, and I never liked Funkwhale. Who wants all of their music in encrypted block storage?

    I also like the quality bump. When I’m not streaming, my music is in FLAC on a DAP with some high quality cans. I can’t get that with Spotify on a phone, and I camp and hike a lot in areas without cell service, so having it with me is a plus.

    Music sits in between storing movies and books. I have less than 2TB in total but the amount of albums is more than the amount of films that I have, and that’s 7TB+. Music, even FLAC, isn’t terrible on space, unless you’re a 24-bit fiend.

    The most Windows-like desktop(and more) on Linux is KDE, second maybe to Cinnamon, and XFCE if we’re talking XP-ish and classic.

    On Linux, your underlying system is not reliant on your GUI. They are not bonded in any sense, and the GUI can be any number of different programs, known as Desktops.

    You can run a Ubuntu system with the KDE desktop, or the Gnome desktop, Unity, or XFCE, or Cinnamon… or maybe two or three at once and choose at login! he’s a madman!

    I had a crypto phase. I know the entire ecosystem. Banking? Only if you can trust the backwards literal “who knows” entities you’re dealing with. Should I bring up Celsius or FTX?

    The only reputable one I’d even begin to consider would maybe investing in a BTC ETF, at least then you’re clear of transaction fees and you get the same benefit of following the price as you would a Gold or oil fund and you don’t have to touch the poison directly. Ether and Base are going to get absolutely destroyed if Kamala wins and won’t fair much better than a flatline if Trump does, and you can wave goodbye to Arbitrum and Avax since the US isn’t going to give a shit about an outside entity.

    In a perfect world, we’d have a modernized version of BTC that isn’t mineable, that’s limited in volume, inexpensive to upkeep, cheap to transfer and usable as a universal currency, but humanity always gets in the way, either in adoption, distrust, greed or shortsightedness. Either the entity developing it gets high and mighty or everyone holding it becomes an influencer, or it turns out it isn’t as eco friendly as you thought it was and the datacenter is on fire…

    None of this even touches Brazil blocking X, which is the bulk of the memecoin universe aside from India, and Telegram getting shaky, influencers moving away from crypto and into marketing schemes…

    You’re running out of scams.

    It’s just… Part of TikTok is attention-seeking.

    It’s kinda the entire point for a lot of the users and uploaders, that and getting paid to continue the cycle of creating more content.

    If you’re expecting us, as-in, the federated populace on Lemmy and Mastodon to use it, I dunno, man. Sharing personal content is a very rare use case here. We usually stick to news and memes.

    Then again, communities that are rather reliant on a performance like fishing, sports, guitar, drums, and skill toys like yoyos might get a use out of having a safe public place to upload themselves without outside influence.
