Yeah they now expect you to use their native protocol for sharing audio on the network.

To be fair, any app written entirely by (human) vendor companies also works like that

Yeah initial setup requires their app (once).

But you can use their app without creating an account, which is such a breath of fresh air compared to everyone else.

Offers all the features Google/Amazon do, but without the subscriptions.

Plus they joined the open home foundation, so they’re unlikely to enshitify.

I’m pleasantly surprised that it takes two did so well. I hope it shows publishers that there’s a market for couch co-op!

Ummm… maybe some more context is needed? That makes no sense

Might I suggest Bitwarden.

It’s open source, syncs across every platform I know of, and supports passkeys.

Not to derail your point, but growing up in Australia, we would mostly use kW. Like, it’s a 200kw engine instead of saying a 270hp engine.

I think it’s a jab at Postman, which is essentially curl with a GUI.

Aww man that was such a good show! I still miss it sometimes…

And some companies (like mine) just have their SDEs do the SRE job as well. Apparently it incentivizes us to write more stable code or something

Kudos to Spotify’s design language for us being able to determine what app it is from just a generic error screenshot

Also, have you considered the Framework Desktop?

https://frame.work/desktop

It’s in your budget, and has 128GB of unified memory (shared between the CPU and GPU).

It doesn’t seem like a very “walled” garden if they were able to migrate all their data including issues and comments

Pretty sure they can. Or at least, they can deny you entry into the country if you decline to unlock it for them.

That sounds like an awful lot of work to workaround a problem that shouldn’t have existed in the first place.

And how do you de-drm them? Is there like some community calibre plug-in for it?

Making note for when I buy books in future

Where do you buy from?

That’s where time dilation will kick in

You’ve never been to rural Japan if you think they primarily use public transport.

Hell, even in the outskirts of Tokyo most people have cars and drive.

That said tho, there’s no excuse for urban city centers to not be walkable.
