No, anything from Tidal is still DRM controlled but it integrates seemlessly with everything I have locally.

I’m not locked into their player. Tidal integrates through Plex and I manage my music library between Tidal and local files there. And again, I still buy albums but we’ve both acknowledged we can’t buy all the music we would listen to.

To be honest I simply find Tidal + Plex integration to be more convenient than piracy. I’ll pay my $10 per month for the ease of use and still buy an album or two per month from artists I want to support.

My discovery is a combination of Tidal and last.fm similar artists/recommendations and people on various forums. It’s one of the few things I still go back to Reddit for. The other thing is that I like to listen to a band’s full discography when I discover them. I recently found The Ocean and all 9 of their albums are solid. That’s a lot to buy.

Just to add, I do buy albums but more as a way to support the artists. Tidal is for convenience.

That works if you listen to just a small number of albums, but I average about 15 unique albums per month and probably 60 per year.

If anything it is dangerous as it will still exit even if changes cannot be saved.

Sure you can change songs, but with Android Auto I can have it play a different album or playlist with voice commands. I can fast forward through ads in a podcast either by tapping the skip button or talking to it.

Honestly the bigger thing for me is the superior GPS without a separate unit though.

Eh, it’s nice to be able to reliably control my music from the screen with Android Auto.

I honestly would have considered the Blazer EV were it not for this.

You can’t just install an arbitrary Linux distro on an Android tablet.

If you want to run Linux, buy something like the Juno or Librem tablets.

I moved to Tidal + Plex. Loving it so far.

Ha yeah I run openSUSE on my laptop and Debian on my server.

Maybe I’m old but I’m really getting annoyed with apps becoming so bloated with features. The podcast integration was part of why I left Spotify. I was tired of having podcasts pop up on my home screen. Tidal luckily is free from this for the moment.

“Do one thing and do it well.”

Pandora didn’t replace buying music. They did not add the “on demand streaming” option until after Spotify was prevalent.

There’s plenty of boobs on the internet. It’s this weird thing where people want to see as much as possible of the boobs they can’t see.

Do we need to go through what autopilot in a plane or boat actually does again?

They’re saying chromosomes are a good measure for “transness” or “cisness”.

No, they’re not. They’re saying that because a person’s chromosomes don’t change based on whether they are trans or cis that a clear biological answer to the question being posed is impossible.

Like… did you read the rest of the person’s comment? It’s pretty clear they are not anti-trans if you read the entire context and don’t just cherry pick a random sentence .

The person you’re replying to doesn’t seem to be implying anything you’re arguing against in your response.

Makes sense, 24 hours to make a decision is plenty.

And of course women should be taking pregnancy tests daily just in case.

You would need to look at the terms of service with your provider.
