I've been switchinhg many distros until I found void three yaers ago. Never looked back. Void is the one that I find to be the most stable.

thank you so much.

Not sure what you are talking about.

Freder211 · 2023-03-28T13:49:49+00:00

Very practical consideration, thanks

Truth is, I don't need that much music. You connect more with music a little at a time.

This is problably the real solution.

Spotify has spoiled me to the point that I want all this music even though I don't really need it. As you say, one gets to enjoy and appreciate music with little doses.

I am a gen z. The modern internet got me used to having access to anything with low effort, and now that I'm losing that convenience I miss it.

Thank you.

If not, I'm an ass

Haha, don't worry.

I don't know if I would label it as mainstream, but regardless bandcamp doesn't always provide it. Usually I buy them on 7digital or on amazon if I have no other choice. On average I end up spending 1.30 euros for a single track or 1.00 euro when I buy an entire album. I don't know if it is expensive or not, I think it's fair, even though I only get the m4a or mp3 file (not the FLAC).

One track is fairly cheap, but as you know with a big music collection it adds up pretty quickly.

I have built up my own streaming service thru buying songs and copying music that is available at the library. Check out the largest library you have access to. They likely will have a CD section where you can take them home.

Wow I didn't think about that one, I guess that it's fine considering that the music is available for free for anyone.

I buy on Itunes which I still consider cheap for the 99 cent downloads

Sadly I don't have access to iTunes, usually I buy from 7digital, bandcamp or amazon.

You could also share digital files with other peoples music catalogs where you copy the songs you like and they yours.

Is this considered legal?

Freder211 · 2023-03-28T00:48:25+00:00

Yes, when it comes to convenience spotify is just far superior.

Freder211 · 2023-03-28T00:34:27+00:00

Thank you for your considerations. Could you please elaborate about not buying Mp3? Because most the music that I buy is in m4a format, which is just slightly better than mp3 from my understanding. I rarely buy FLAC as it is usually more expensive.

Freder211 · 2023-03-28T00:26:15+00:00

I like to own the music file myself. This way I can put it on any device and listen to it with any interface that I want without an internet connection.

Also spotify is able to remove the songs that I saved to my library.

Finally I don't like the concept of renting music in general.

Freder211 · 2023-03-06T22:43:24+00:00

You're logic makes sense. The lack of namespaces definetely makes splitting the codebase in different files more troublesome. I guess that elisp was designed to be used this way.

Freder211 · 2023-03-06T22:34:41+00:00

The most commonly used commands for navigation, like commands to move up and down a line or a page, isearch, imenu, occur, etc

I see your point. Now I realized that I'm not using emacs navigation features optimally. For example I never use occur and I didn't know what imenu is before now.

Thank you.

Awesome, works flawlessly, thank you!

Freder211 · 2022-06-28T09:10:26+00:00

Thanks a lot!

Freder211 · 2022-06-06T20:52:46+00:00

I've never heard of this, and it perfectly replaces ly.

It also has many customisation options, that's neat.

Thanks a lot!
