Agreed… here, it’s about family, being together, chatting, laughing, just having a good time in general. Sure, there are discounts, but most people use those to just buy some new appliances (in most cases, replace broken ones).
Well, to be honest, especially for warez, yes, it involves A LOT of knowledge. And that’s not easy to gain, there are no books on the subject and you can’t study RCE (I haven’t seen any courses that dive into the subject), so yeah, it’s pretty hard to actually gain some knowledge, and even harder since most of the tricks of the trade are shared between warez groups, and it’s hard to get into one.
So, yeah, I would throw money at that one or two people that actually did manage to crack a particular piece of software. Teams of engineers and programmers working on the software and a team of one or two guys managed to beat your copy protection… bravo 👏.
Not really IMO. If it gets to that, most people will pay. Sure, there will be workarounds, like ReVanced and the likes, but it will be unknown or too complicated to do for most users.
edit: I realize there is Office web and it’s good but it has nowhere enough features. Also, do you guys think (Open, Libre, Only) office has as many features as Microsoft Excel?...
I am in an intense love-hate relationship with Spotify. It makes good mixes for me, I have found a lot of great bands that way. BUT IT KEEPS REGURGITATING THE SAME SONGS IN THERE. I know about Song Radios and Artist Radios, so please don’t recommend those. Smart Shuttle doesn’t cut it, either....
Oh, yeah, classification takes some time. I classify by style (Pop, Rock, Metal, Techno, etc.). And I have 2 different “classification directories”, lol 😂. One is for albums/compilations. They are also sorted by style, but there are whole albums. The other one is with singles (like single tracks, not singles as in releases, lol 😂). Like, let’s say I like just 1 track from a certain artist and I don’t think anything else is worth it from that album (or EP, whatever). I download the whole thing, then delete everything else and just keep that 1 single track. So, let’s say this artist is a pop artist. I have a folder named Pop + Hip-Hop + House + Etc. and I just put it in there 😂. There’s like thousands of tracks there 😂.
So, let’s say I’m in the mood for something specific. I know where it resides, whether it be a whole album or a single track in the “randomness” directories (😂), I find it and I play it. If I’m just in a mood for music, in general, nothing specific, I usually just load the Pop + … directory in the playlist, set random and just hit play. Something I don’t like pops up, I just hit next 🤷.
I hope I helped. Sorting by style is what works for me 🤷. Sure, it’s not perfect, but I really don’t see any other sort style as better than that.
Ah, that’s why I search before I download anything 🤣. Plus, I got a good memeory (only regarding songs for some reason 🤔 😂), so I rarely end up with dups.
And I do tag them after I download them… well, retag them, they’ve already been tagged by whoever 😂.
These darn icons are pissing me off and there’s not a whole lot i can find in the settings. So on the right sys tray, the bluetooth and network icons are perfect; that’s how I want ever icon to be; perfectly sized, it’s clear and detailed, it looks proper; same with the date and clock. The notification, wifi, and battery...
Xfce is cool, I use it on all my installs. But than again, I have never tinkered with themes that much or tray icons 🤷.
Try Void if you’re not too afraid of the terminal 😁. The repo is pretty good and stuff mostly works out of the box. If they don’t, you just need to configure them correctly.
The funny thing is though, I wasn’t as advanced when I jumped ship, but I never felt lost in it either. Like with Ubuntu and similar distros, things are fairly simple, but once you start getting nitty gritty with the system, start tinkering and whatnot, things just start not working. Like I was banging my head why this particular app just can’t access the internet, when all of the time it was ufw that was blocking it 😒.
What really pissed me off was the sheer number of apps that got installed allongside the main sustem. Like LibreOffice, maybe I didn’t want that installed on my system. And systemd seemed way too slugush and buggy for my taste, I really wanted something simpler and very easy to configure and run. So Void fit in there perfectly. Just xfce with some basic apps and plugins, that’s it.
Also, one of the main reasons why I bailed ship regarding conventional distros was dependency hell. You try and compile from source and there is always some dependency that’s outdated and just doesn’t compile 😒. This really really pissed me off, cuz I wanted to use the rig for, let’s say encoding, but the x265 lib in the repos was outdated. I wanted the latest, cuz I also wanted to test the progress of x265… things like this really grind my gears and I decided that conventional distros are probably not for me.

What's an alternative to Spotify that doesn't play you the same fucking songs over and over?
