On the one hand I completely agree with you. On the other I know that Texas is a maga cesspool. We all know that not everyone in the state is conservative, but we also know that it’s a bastion for conservative leaning people. You might not like it, but do you actually think it will ever change?

Be the change you wish to see in the world, I guess. But I don’t see a commercial product like that taking off, simply because the MPAA and RIAA will fight it. They will use the media to convince the public that it is a piracy tool. I also don’t think it’s fair to demand FOSS volunteers to cater to tech illiterates. These projects are a labor of love, not a product. Self hosting means you are taking the responsibility of hosting something, and that comes with pros and cons. I think expecting a black box solution to remain stable and secure in the long run is a hard sell for me, it doesn’t line up with my personal and professional experience.

That’s kinda the opposite of what I have found, once I get something to work it usually just works. Although I’m in IT so I’m pretty used to keeping ‘in production’ servers going. It absolutely is more work, because you aren’t paying somebody else to do it, so you really need to decide if that’s worth it to you. For many people the trade off in control and privacy aren’t worth the extra work and paying somebody else to use their computers instead is far more convenient.

I use Qobuz and I like it.

Well, because of so many of them making laws these days.

The real MVP right here, fuck amp and fuck Google trying to control more of the web than they already do.

You insult this entire thread with your lies failing to defend a theocracy. I do not give a damn if I have insulted you, that was my intention. Either you believe the lies so much that you can no longer tell what is actually true, or you are a propagandist. Either way any respect you wished to gain from this post has been thoroughly trashed at this point.

title says supreme ruler. but he doesn’t have any power? what are you on about? this is one of the worst sock puppets I have ever witnessed.
