We hate - Sworn Enemy
Love how the tone alternates between rage and hate on the one side and this rational description on the other
When I hear that lonesome whistle
But the minefields are a banger scnr
Yes, but what does change when I register both accounts with a Gmail address?
Spotify would just play the same.few things over and over and over after a while for me. Especially since their algorithm will bend over backwards to only play 1-2 songs per album.
With the features of plexamp I regularly get songs I’d go “ouh, haven’t heard that one in quite a while” about.
That might be only me though. I encourage everyone to try plexamp with tidal for one month (which is free on tidal, not for plexamp). The free version of plexamp lacks many of the features, sadly.
Not remotely close. Plexamp dies have the same radio features Spotify has and they have their purpose, but those “Guest DJs” as Plexamp calls them are different.
First of all, song radios do very often just include roughly the same styles of the original song, mix them up a bit. This specific “guest DJ” holds the style almost exactly if at all possible with the songs you have access to.
Secondly, it is not a Radio. It injects itself into a running playlist (which can be generated by sonic analysis as well, different topic). So you’d have your regular playlist going, notice that the style of that one song that’s playing right now is exactly what you want now, have it hold the style and when You’re getting tired of it,.you switch it off and the regular playlist will continue.
That’s why you don’t listen to remixes but to metal covers instead :P
Certainly worth a try IMHO. Especially since you can get a free trial for tidal, pay a month of Plex pass and try this for a month for 5 bucks or so. Since Plex pass offers a lifetime subscription, Its basically a one time purchase piece of software anyway.
Plex does a rather comprehensive analysis of audio (if you have Plex pass that is) and is then able to do some really cool stuff regarding playlists and such. One of those things is a mode where it keeps injecting songs that have the same vibe as the current song until you switch it off again at which point it’ll just go on with the playlist. It dies that surprisingly well.
Works for local audio on a Plex server capable of doing the analysis (no ARM support ATM) and for Tidal.
Yes and no. It’s a circular relationship. The proverb is known to have already existed in Ancient Greece. The pantheon (the version that existed before Xerxes torched the place) was apparently inhabited by tons of owls, especially it’s roof construction. Since the pantheon was a temple to Athena, people assumed Athena held Owls holy and the owl became linked to Athena, and since Athena was the goddess of wisdom, Owls became a symbol of wisdom. Since the city and her patron goddess are related by name, Athens is linked to owls as well.
But for the meaning: It’s to be taken literally. There were many owls in Athens, so they’d not exactly need any more.
there is no defense in there. I never defended the company. I just called your stance that companies ought to do social welfare unreasonable. I very much like everyone to do social welfare stuff, but to blame companies when they refuse to do what the fucking government should is just a pretty twisted stance, innit?
Exactly. Don’t blame fucking companies for doing what companies were always about to do. Blame the government for letting them. If you get mauled by a lion, you won’t blame the lion, you (or your heirs) will blame the zoo for saving money on the fence. Why is it different with companies?
No, it’s not. People will complain regularly about places like Burger King and McDonald’s who throw ice cubes into drinks. I, personally, hate it as well. I don’t want my water close to the freezing point, and I would rather not get bumped int the teeth by lumps of frozen water that dilute my drink and hurt my teeth.
Well, your response is telling as well. You night not notice, but there is a serious twist in your logic: why is it on McDonald’s to feed the homeless? It shouldn’t be and they cannot be called out for not doing it. By blaming companies for stuff like that, you obfuscate where the blame should really go: everyone in any form of government and everyone supporting bullshit narratives that social welfare and capitalism are polar opposites and cannot go together. Don’t waste your energy on fucking companies. They will not foot the bill the government should.
Never travel to Germany with that mindset.
No, it’s not a good thing. The solution would be to use a different package name for the f droid version. That’s what’s supposed to be done. It’s not the signature or Google that’s causing the problem. It’s that there are two packages with identical names that should not be identical.
I think you massively overestimate the amount of users that are a) affected by this b) reporting it When seeing the overall picture, this might mlbe a rather fringe issue in Google’s eyes.
Furthermore, you might be exaggerating the impact as well. The “impact” is that an app update fails. That’s it. That might be annoying, but isn’t the grave and evil thing you make it out to be.
Besides, have you ever thought about that this stems from a rather bad practice on F-Droid/app developer side? They use the same package name for a software with a different signature. That’s just not ideal to begin with. All packages with the same name should have the same signature for any given version of the package. That’s how security works. If they don’t follow that, how is a user/security software supposed to check if the signature is authentic or of the package was tampered with?
Even if it’s new behavior, there is really no reason to assume that this was done to evoke some dark pattern or other. It just shows that Google will not think about 3rd party stores when they do anything with their services and that is hardly news, is it? Besides: I kinda get it honestly. If they’d take all the stuff out there for android into account before they did anything, nothing would be done at all.
So the question becomes less why that’s there, but more what stores like Samsung do to prevent this issue and if F-Droid can adapt the same behavior.
Imagine being presented with an aircraft. You bloody well know what it does and you get permission to disassemble the whole thing to your heart’s content. How big of a task do you think it’d still be to be able to work out how the winged metal tube works and why it does what it does when it does it?
Exactly.
