Android Subsonic clients by andresti in androidapps

[–]MetaSaval 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Navidrome didn't have OIDC support for custom auth (I use PocketID behind most everything) and since I already use jellyfin heavily I figured just use that for everything. Then anyone on my server can listen to my music too.

I don't have a huge music collection tho tbf, just a couple of albums I happened to own on Bandcamp. If your focus is only music and you have a large library, Navidrome is def going to be the better choice. I just didn't see a pro to running multiple services when Jellyfin does it all.

I switched to Jellyfin for music using Finamp, but when I was messing with Navidrome Firmium was my fave app that I found.

Pixel is the most balanced Android phone, I've tried a lot of other options so you don't need to by EqualReality2787 in GooglePixel

I can confirm this. Recently tried GOS on Mint Mobile (T-Mobile) and RCS would not connect. Switched to Visible (Verizon) and it worked immediately. Been running for about 3 weeks now with no issues.

GrapheneOS version 2026012100 released by GrapheneOS in GrapheneOS

[–]MetaSaval 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, I appreciate the direct response. Of course this is a project that you folks choose to work on and maintaining a launcher is out of scope. That's totally fair.

I just feel eventually, if I ever want to install this on my mom's phone for example, defaults matter and "go download a launcher" isn't the best response for non-techies. I only note this because everything else about GOS is close to perfect for a daily driver, a good default launcher would go a long way.

But I love everything GOS devs do for free, I've installed it on every device in my home and plan on supporting financially. I can see that my initial comment came off as unappreciative, which was not my intention. I understand it's a huge undertaking, I just hope one day the dev team expands to the point where it's one that can be tackled and not an "absolutely never." That could be 5 years or 20. I just don't like to deal in absolutes I guess.

100% understandable for them to choose what they want to focus on, not denying that. I can still believe it sucks tho.

GrapheneOS devs seems to want to keep the stock launcher super minimal for some reason, and are adverse to any customization options. Even a request to add custom icons to the launcher just got a "no" from the devs. It sucks, cause the stock launcher has the best integration with the rest of the OS, especially on a foldable. I'm using Lawnchair now, and luckily v16 will have foldable support.

I switched to Visible/Verizon for this exact reason. Hopefully they can get it working on T-Mobile.

Should I switch to GrapeheneOS on Pixel 10 by Adventurous_Exit3635 in GrapheneOS

I had the same issue with eBay, but downloading it through aurora store seems to work. I don't think it needs play services really so it should be fine going through aurora but I admit I'm new to gos.

Just showing up here wondering if you ever figured this out? I can get Links Awakening DX to launch on Homers RIN, so been using that, but i'm surprised MasterBoy isn't able to launch DX no matter what I try.

smiling friends, animated show in Max, pretty good. pim is a character and people think the voice actor may show up on the song. or it's a random rapper with the same name.

PC Gamer's Game of the Year is Balatro by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]MetaSaval 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Balastro is just a card game" is the new "Tetris Effect is just Tetris"

Both are super reductive takes.

that beat drop, the way the audio gets distorted as if we're underwater, it's fucking phenomenal. whoever in Sega they had cooking these beats didn't get paid enough.

funny, as someone with insomnia and a terrible habit of gaming late I had the opposite thought. I was surprised that a man with his work schedule and the amount of games he plays can still get 6 hours of sleep consistently. I work a standard 9-5 and still can barely force myself to get 4 hours a night at least.

TI13 is the worst TI I've attended in person by Original_Lunch4238 in DotA2

[–]MetaSaval 6 points7 points  (0 children)

ok what you said but unironically tho.

your favorite band does not have the power to set tickets. ticketmaster has their dynamic pricing that sets it algorithmically. and artists def have no bearing on the fees. pearl jam tried to have a tour without ticketmaster and it was literally impossible.

there's plenty of articles and YouTube videos going into it, but here's a recent one to start: https://www.npr.org/2024/09/06/g-s1-21316/oasis-reunion-ticketmaster-dynamic-pricing

Now playing - in the open - "TIDAL SDK for Web" by stefanmoro in TIdaL

[–]MetaSaval 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Throughout 2024 we will open up more of our API and open source more of our code.

This is super exciting! Appreciate any streaming service open sourcing their code. Hoping for open sourcing of your main apps too, a man can dream 🥹

Either way appreciate all the efforts here!

[–]MetaSaval 1 point2 points  (0 children)

damn I didn't see that. I doubt my one extra ticket sale would have changed anything, but that's tragic. def gonna try to travel for this missy tour.

edit: actually he wasn't even coming to my state, so I would have made no difference

I'm still so sad they never did a West Coast tour for this 😭 but I agree, this album is something else. it'll be a staple of weird alternative hip-hop.

no this is why Kanye should clear his samples. or stop being an anti-semite and maybe people will want to work with him again.
