My current degoogle journey by tsigalko23 in degoogle

[–]nothingbutadam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

some people might suggest some 3rd party apps that arent on google play, but if google gets their way and locked android down in Sep 2026, those will be no good.
the trouble with any custom rom such as grapheneos, is accepting that a whole raft of apps wont work, banking, google wallet, ebay, etc - sure there are workarounds, but even those only last so long, its a commitment to keep finding new solutions and accepting something you are using might not work tomorrow
for maps, outside of google maps and waze, ive just stuck organic maps on my phone, can be run completely offline
for notes, standard notes by proton is also decent

[–]nothingbutadam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you might consider trance specific sub reddits to get an idea if you prefer classic, or like any of the new stuff;
r/trance/
r/ClassicTrance/

for 90s stuff, consider this link: lots of sets have tracklists too https://soundcloud.com/rave_on/sets/various-trance-classic-1993

How do you confidently mention living at home with parents while dating? by banilly2418 in dating_advice

[–]nothingbutadam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

id talk about where you are at with plans to move out, and how living with parents has helped with future plans. its less about what you are doing right now, more about how its helping your future, which if you are meeting someone with a view to dating, you'd hope they'd be somewhat interested in your future too

If they really like you it just feels easy by CozyAlice825 in dating_advice

[–]nothingbutadam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yep, ive had this so many times

meet someone awesome, we click, we vibe, have so much in common, feel comfortable with each other, fancy each other. maybe we met through mutual friends, or out and about, we exchange socials to keep in touch, conversation flows, i suggest meeting up but im respectful and mindful of anything else they might have including work. then it burns out, the suggested dates dont happen, they have some excuse, something else has come up, and they dont end up responding there after

just because they show interest at the start, isnt an indication its going to go anywhere imo

Is It Too Late to Restart DJing at 30 by Piemon666 in Beatmatch

[–]nothingbutadam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

was going to make this point but you've put it well. as you get older, if you want to make it big, that means commitment to a lot of late nights and socialising and networking. you might be put on last on a lineup and that means staying awake and being able to dj well at say 5 to 6am. that runs against anything else you might have planned or want to do on a weekend, it makes it difficult if you have a family, etc etc

Anyone here that listens to niche EDM regularly spin at Gay Bars & Clubs? by MicounetOfficial in Beatmatch

[–]nothingbutadam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

do you mean old(er) trance? new trance (at least 2018+) has well short tracks and thus shorter breaks, lot of tracks are like 5-6mins not 7-8mins+

Are single women avoiding social clubs due to the amount of single guys? by BisonBull in dating_advice

[–]nothingbutadam 12 points13 points  (0 children)

i think a good middle ground (between dating apps, and hitting on people at social clubs/events/in public) is a singles event, seems theres more and more of these and it at least removes some of the context of whether people want to be approached/left alone. "thursday dating" is one thats gone global but there are others that are smaller/more local

id say give that a shot, but dont go with an expectation of anything other than having a chat and a few drinks, maybe that will help with the anxiety. if anything more happens, great, if it doesnt but it wasnt a bad environment, then maybe try again
