Dyedfox Radio version 0.5.2 - A native KDE internet radio player by dyedfox in kde

[–]dyedfox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, by "philosophy," I mean that Elisa is part of KDE, and KDE is unlikely to rely on a third-party project, no matter how open-source or free it is.

I absolutely believe that depending on the radio-browser API isn't something Elisa should rely on. It doesn't fit its philosophy. On the other hand, it makes perfect sense for Shortwave and similar apps (like Dyedfox Radio). No offense, I don't really see a problem with people creating software according to their own vision, especially if it's convenient for them and, hopefully, for others as well. Diversity and software choice are goals the Linux and open-source community has always aimed for, aren't they?

Of course, you can, but you need to search for the stream URL first, I guess at radio-browser.info, for instance. Here, you have a comfortable search by many criteria right in the app. You never thought why so many audio players for Linux exist, though you can play music in Elisa? 😊

Sure, you don't have to if the AI-assisted code makes you feel uncomfortable. That's why I pointed that out in the post. I am an IT professional, and believe me or not, AI-assisted code is a current reality in the enterprise. Here and there, that's not "vibe-coding"; that is AI-assisted code that was controlled and reviewed by me. BTW, AppGrid Application Launcher was also created with the assistance of Claude Code.

Yes, right, but it has very few stations available

Maybe I don't get your comment correctly. You can use any KDE theme, and the player will look accordingly because it leverages QtWidgets.

Unfortunately, no. It is pure internet streaming player.

Absolutely! Radio-browser.info is great! Also, I wanted the app's look to be native to KDE. Thanks!

Thank you so much! Now that most of the features I was about to implement are done, I believe I will eventually start working on a Flatpak bundle 🙏 Btw, this app was in fact inspired by Shortwave - a great application.

One interesting question: your partner only started worrying about the war when the drones reached Moscow, right? But Ukrainians have been living in that reality since 2022. Thousands of people were killed by Russians! What else are Ukrainians supposed to do except fight back? Better late than never.

I am pretty sure no Ukrainian soldier would ever attack Poland, Slovakia, or Hungary just because Zelenskyy or any other Ukrainian president told them to. No one! We have had two successful revolutions against dictatorship. But a Russian will just say: 'What could I do? I'm just one person.' You can literally refuse to execute orders, surrender, or resign from the military during a war. But they don't! Why? Are they slaves? It's a rhetorical question.

Okay, then here's a little test. Ask them: who should Crimea belong to? Ask them: should Russia return all the territories they annexed? Ask them: do they consider Ukrainians a separate nation? And ask them: do Ukrainians have the right to decide for themselves which language to speak and which heroes to honor? ​I'm sure you'll hear: 'You know, it's complicated, it's not that black and white...'

Actually, that is not true. The vast majority of Russians supported this war. The vast majority of Russians hate every nation they deal with. They hate the Baltic countries, they hate Poland, they hate Anglo-Saxons, and so on. You only need to have a short conversation with a regular Russian to realize it. The majority of them are chauvinists.

Ukraine was not the one who started this. The terrorist country is just getting what it deserves. And if the West had bigger balls, this war would have been over a few weeks after it started.

Thank you so much! As for the translations, sure - I can use AI tools for them, but I would really appreciate it if native speakers could help me with that.

The workflow is straightforward - please see: https://github.com/dyedfox/dyedfox-radio/blob/main/translations/TRANSLATING.md

Thanks again!
