Yes, I’m around. I wouldn’t mind the help since I’ve been sorting out a lot of personal things lately.

I kind of solved that with favorites. For albums I favorite them like I said previously to bookmark them to see all of the ones I care about most front and center.

The favorites for songs though, I use for the use case you described above. Every song I favorite gets added into a playlist using Navidrome’s “smart playlist” feature automatically.

Don’t get me wrong I use playlists ritually, but for an easy “brain off” playlist with every single song I clicked the heart on automatically, it can’t be beaten for ease of use.

I definitely use favorites. I’ve never really cared enough for the rating system. I almost use the favorites button as a bookmark for albums and songs I don’t want to lose in the collection.

From the text you replied to:

Admittedly, this isn’t always the case

I believe you’re looking for a debate, where I was wanting discussion. Take care.

I love open source in an ethical sense, and I use it to meet all of my media and storage needs. Even my operating system is open source. However, as a consumer, I also value having the best possible experience. Companies can provide better and more refined experiences in many ways, often by leveraging their deep pockets.

I don’t mind paying for services that offer great value or save me time. The problem that most companies face, though, is that I expect them to respect both me and my privacy.

If we were to eliminate privacy infringements from proprietary software and make it open source, it would often become best-in-class within the open source community (e.g., Photoshop, Microsoft Office, etc.). Admittedly, this isn’t always the case, but all of this is to say that there can be arguments in favor of providing a service that respects the end user and their privacy, which warrants further discussion.

If it wasn’t Meta, I would almost be okay with this. If I genuinely believed that my privacy was being preserved, I think it’d be a fair trade.

Something worth mentioning is that android auto will not work for graphene. I was so on board until that. It’s understandable why that’s the case though.

I just shared that song to my music community yesterday, which prompted this share. That whole album is truly amazing.

I love your breakdown of the piece. I really hope to see you around here more! You offer such interesting takes on this.

Yep, I think you’re right. I can probably bypass this with a link shortener, but it’s not worth selling out people’s data. Just copy and paste it if you’re running into issues.

That’s weird, here’s just the link without any formatting. Try this: https://wondermark.com/c/1k62/

For sea-lioning, here’s the comic the term originated from to explain it

Yeah, I’m aware. There were like 10 comments with no replies, so I thought it’d be fun to see what the Chatbot would say. I didn’t take its answer too seriously, but I knew people might be sensitive to the answer. It would have been unfair of me to not say that it was though. Now people can at least decide whether or not to discard the information by providing a “source”.

They’re probably asking how to do it on the PWA.

I understand why they do that. I wanted to do that too with the communities I’ve made. I noticed there wasn’t a community for me to visit here that I used to frequent on reddit, and made a community so that people could have a place to share.

What sucks though, is that I’ve posted more than several times to each, gotten close to, or over a hundred users, and no one is contributing (on most of them). I didn’t make a community to hear myself speak. People need to realize that the thriving lemmy community as a whole isn’t “free”. The payment of it succeeding are their contributions, even if that’s upvoting, and leaving a “good share” comment.

I was a huge lurker, and being a mod is absolutely not why I made it. In fact, once most of my communities grow large enough, I plan to hand them off. If they become actually substantial (think thousands) and no one is still posting, I’ll might just have make it to where only I can post links, and it’ll become like my personal community, since I’d be the only one posting anyways. That way moderation will at least be easy, because I hate moderating.

Edit: Man I sounded like a salty dog writing this lol

I felt the same, until I made one where only I’m allowed to post lol

Yep, it’s how many are subscribed from your instance.

I think it might have fixed it. I think it auto updated before I realized, so I could check before posting. I will say, that there needs to be more margin, or padding added to the body of the post. It sits far too close to the title at the top.
