Thank you so very much!

I had no idea! Thanks for the list, I'll check them out!

EDIT: It seems like a lot of these are Android apps. I was looking for desktop apps if I was being honest. That, and I have an iPhone.

Given the revelation that it hooks into Spotify to get playlists etc, I really wish there wasn't that strong of a dependency on Spotify, and that I could just search for songs and start playing.

I was hoping for more YouTube music player, and less Spotify.

I have Spotify Premium which I pay for, and the desktop client is very fast and snappy to play songs. SpotTube is OK, but it isn't as snappy as Spotify. For something that is free, that is absolutely fine, but the fact it requires Spotify for playlist etc...

I definitely get why. Spotify does playlist generation like no other, and it is the biggest platform by far. But I kind of wish I had a version that wasn't all about the algorithms.

Also, the way you "login" to Spotify on the desktop is incredibly user un-friendly at best, and incredibly brittle at worst. Copying and pasting a cookie that Spotify uses shouldn't be used as a way to login to any service, like, at all. And if Spotify are smart, they'll break this functionality within a month or so using something like Fingerprint.js to identify which device the session belongs to, thus invalidating the session.

It’s a fork bomb. Specifically it’s a piece of code that recursively calls itself and then it calls itself to run the code.

Thank goodness it did not work, but please do not actually run code like this!! Do your best to figure out what the code is doing before you attempt to run it!

Small void

Oh thank goodness!

It was so sad seeing Volition go (even though I didn't really like the new Saints Row, I appreciate a lot of the issues with that game was down to publisher issues and mismanagement - see this video for more details).

Hopefully the team will have better luck with a new IP!

I think OP is trying to say:

• There was the Reddit API catastrophe
• That led him to lemmy/ActivityPub
• Which gave him exposure to Linux
• Which he used to give Linux a shot

And he seems to be having a great time with LInux

That cat accepted his fate with surprising calmness

Fun fact, back in 2018, Tesla factories have less safety signs and signals because Elon Musk hates yellow (so no safety tape telling people where not to stand) and cannot stand the beeping noise forklifts make when they reverse.

Absolutely baffled how more people aren't killed at Tesla factories, tbh.

OK this made me giggle like an idiot.

I absolutely love this song. I'm glad someone else in lemmy land loves the song too!
