The new narrative is that obviously you’re not permitted expect in very rare circumstances, so any tool used to aid actual fair use gets slammed with DMCA take-downs. I’m not saying it’s right, but that’s how they’ve been trying to frame

The page doesn't really say... But one of the things which made youtube-dl great was that it worked on almost any website you threw it at. Looking at the readme and code... This project seems to only support youtube.com? If so, that do

Yes and no. We're finally able to get it to work somehow, but nowhere near as smooth and reliably as cables used to work before. For instance: In my car I have to turn BT audio on and off around 3 times before it manages to establish

I find it doubly ironic that you linked to this subreddit about rage over a inferior GPM-replacement of a streaming service, and you did so with a link which was specifically hard-coded to use the old Reddit UI, instead of this new inferi

You can also upload your music to YTM, but it’s actually almost impossible to use and (intentionally?) siloed off from the rest of the user-experience (search, playback and playlists). So I’ve stopped using it because as a user it no longer

Google Play Music was great. It let you put your music library in the cloud and play it anywhere. Simple! Pay money and extend it with Google’s streaming catalogue too. Even better! A simple product with a clear identity. In many ways a fin

Much like WSL may be “eating” away at real Linux user-share, it will be interesting to see if enabling FreeBSD development outside FreeBSD itself will somehow affect the FreeBSD marketshare (for better or worse).
