Huh, tipping...

This is a piracy community, where people discuss relevant topics. Use Google for simple questions like "how to uninstall programs on Linux"

This is more of a rant isn't it

Pretty cool, but won't your discover weekly playlists never update based on your new self hosted songs? I figure if you stop using Spotify, the lists it suggests will eventually tend to have the same songs/artists on repeat. It's a very minor gripe seeing as how you can always just manually search and find new songs based on radios and such. Best of luck!

From what I've seen, it's not nearly as customizable as Ditto.

Looks interesting, I'll give it a go!

For both professional and personal use, I can list 2 that you likely haven't heard of:

https://github.com/meowtec/Imagine Imagine PNG/JPEG optimization - it basically compresses images and photos so you can email lots of stuff back and forth without using the likes of WeTransfer.

https://ditto-cp.sourceforge.io/ Ditto Clipboard Manager - a multi clipboard for Windows. Ever try to paste something, only to realise you've already copied over it? Its use and helpfulness is so ubiquitous, I just could never live without it anymore.

I don't want it but I'll upvote. Good on you internet stranger

Isn't this similar to the tech used in fiber optics cables? Or am I way off

I can confirm that this works quite well. I use these tactics all the time on my parents' feed to keep them from watching too many "crap" news, pardon my french. There's a very notorious news channel in our country that insists on feeding bad (and only the bad) news - I often remove their channel from the suggested feed play videos of funny fails/wins, cute cats, daily dose of internet and other happy nonesense.

Give us an update sometime @driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br , hope all goes well with your mom.

Been using Signal for a very long time now, with my SO, parents, brother and a few friends. But it's inevitable to also use WhatsApp side by side. Selling/Buying on the local marketplace? WhatsApp. Workplace colleagues? WhatsApp. That group of buddies where only 1 or 2 converted to Signal? WhatsApp.
