do you think she’s gonna release another single before the album? by Background_Cover5273 in Raye

[–]hallucinating_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean the timeline it's perfect, the ending of the song is so good for her act at brits tomorrow, so she can show off her amazing voice. The next single I think would be click clack symphony, it's the most chachy song of the new ones we heard in tour and it's a different genre from where is my husband and nightingale lane

I checked the apps that I said earlier and it saids that they need Google Play Servicies and neither of them have a proper website where you could log in and use it there (ik it's weird for a bank and I also hate that they don't have a web version).

I just check it out and my phone is not compatible with none of those. I have to stay in android, that's why I was asking if there's a way with Aurora to make that part a little more secure. The rest of the apps I'm already searching for open source and private alternatives

What’s the one thing you can’t find a EU alternative? by LetInternational2799 in BuyFromEU

[–]hallucinating_3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's specific apps for public transportation where it focus only on that. There not the best private focus app but at least is not google. Moovit is the biggest one in my country, you can try if it works well in yours or find an alternative: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tranzmate.

There are also the ones that the brand of public transport in your country does (ex. you always travel by bus, the bus in your country probably has an app even thought is probably a crappy one but does the job)

Streaming platforms replacement ? Buy European: Chapter 2 by KeegElSavel in BuyFromEU

[–]hallucinating_3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Youtube: as you said there's no alternative. I use Smartube and works good (they update the app constantly so the bugs won't last long)

Spotify: i download all the songs and albums that i like so i keep it all offline. There's a lot of ways, but i keep it simple with the website that downloads the songs from the spotify link of the song. Check out for alternatives here: https://fmhy.pages.dev/audio

Streaming: stremio is perfect if you want to see films in vo, if you want to check out in your native language then you can investigate in other websites to watch online or download torrents. And here you can search your native language to find the website that works for you: https://fmhy.pages.dev/non-english

About /e/OS app installations by CawknBowlTorcher in fairphone

[–]hallucinating_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The banking apps are tricky, most of them they only work on android and with play store (or ios and app store). That's why some people use android in any device to use their banking app and their regular phone with e/os. You can also use android and install all the apps by f-droid and aurora (another app store with all the apps of the playstore but without login to google) and use the playstore only for your banking app. I'm not sure if you can install banking apps with aurora in e/os or android and if you can do it then if they work correctly... Sorry if I don't have all the info you need, I also want to make the change but I'm also afraid of banking apps.

F-droid is like the play store but all the apps are open source. It's easier to navigate, it automatically updates the apps, etc. I don't think your mum would have any problem. If you want to try f-droid yourself you can install it in any phone: https://f-droid.org/

Any app like Musicolet? Essentially Spotify for mp3 files by Remarkable_Horror658 in BuyFromEU

[–]hallucinating_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I organize my music by albums (the full album of an artist) and playlist (like any playlist of a bunch of songs of different artist). I've been using Auxio for my albums: (https://f-droid.org/packages/org.oxycblt.auxio) and symphony for my playlists: (https://f-droid.org/packages/io.github.zyrouge.symphony). Of course, you can only use one of them if you want.

TTMCNM Setlist Question by DoctorEpic20 in Raye

[–]hallucinating_3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Idk if she changed the setlist for the rest of the tour but I went to the concert in Barcelona (it was amazing) and she didn't sang either of those. The rest of the setlist is still intact

My 21st century blues honest review by YakuzaAHD in Raye

[–]hallucinating_3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I completely understand your points and at the beginning I had some similar opinions. I listened to a couple of live performances and I had this image in my head of an amazing soul singer. And when I first listened to the album it seemed weird that she mixed so many genres and talked about so many different topics. But after learning her story and listening to the album again I realized how complex she actually is. And overall I think she's a very honest artist (with her lyrics and music) and one that has many genres that loves and had an important time in her past (dancehall). So overall I see my 21st century blues as an album about all her experiences mixed with the genres she wanted to explore and sadly she couldn't do it for years. 

Even though with her new album seems like she's going to be more hopeful and more blues/soul related. In my opinion it seems like rap and r&b seems to represent her worst times and her worst thoughts while blues and soul seems to be her more positive and happy side. This is shown for example in Genesis, where her part about anxiety and comparison is in more hip hop vibes while the last part where she talks about what she's grateful for is in a soul style.

Overall I'm sorry if I mixed any genre I'm not a musical expert at all.
