I agree with the other comments here - you should be able to recognize the different renditions as such with an untrained ear. Basically I’d start with knowing the notes of the song… kinda the most important thing but we just just don’t for

We know which strings were plucked but we don’t know how the instrument was tuned or how long the notes were… as cool as this is, I wouldn’t really say this is the oldest *known* song (there are older that we know equally little about).

I’ll second this - complicating things is all the third party apps I use with Plex (for music, audiobooks etc). I’d love to switch to jellyfin but they aren’t going to have an ecosystem like this any time soon

Interesting - I don’t have any issues accessing my server without internet, the default for me seems to be run local and then via internet.

I’m not sure that downvoting (disagreeing - by common usage though it shouldn’t necessarily be that way) is the same as calling for the censorship of.

For me Twitch, Netflix, a bunch of my banking websites and random others all have issues in Firefox. For twitch and Netflix it’s massive cpu spikes and battery loss, for the others typically just a complete failure to load properly.

I assume you have to pay the $99 annual dev fee to submit apps for review? I wonder how much Apple makes on unused dev fees, I'm sure not tons but it does seems like they should offer partial refunds if they refuse to work with devs.

I like the metaphor! I'd suggest two points, if humans evolved as fast as viruses and we couldn't replace all the oxygen on earth at once (and likely not at all in some places just as we can't get vaccine everywhere at once a

In EU and US the majority of people have had covid and certainly nearly everyone has had covid or been vaccinated. The new strains are not as deadly as the original or the delta variant. That is factual.
