@Ilandar you're right, I didn't think about this. However I might add that there are still programs that do not function well even under Wine. For example, the latest version of Office is always problematic to set up.
@0x815 there is no genocide in China. Everything is done purely on economic/social/whatever other bullshit reasons they may come up with. Some of these people may die, and their culture might get lost in the process, but that's a risk they're willing to take.
@Ilandar this is a good solution . Another would be to just not jump ship head first, but rather replace everything wth FOSS alternatives instead if they're not available on Linux (e.g.: replace MS Office with LibreOffice, Photoshop with GIMP or something else, etc.) and use them for a while. Most of the programs should also be available for Windows, and if not you could also use WSL to run them.
Once you get used to these programs, the actual Linux transition should be easier.
I get that. I was in a different situation than you, but I got the same question. For me, I think it would be the need for affection, but in a way that it would be kinda awkward for a friend to provide (and that I don't get from my friends at all).
Thanks! I'll check it out. Foobar is fine and does a lot of things that I do not see other players doing. What I didn't like was the fact that it has no adaptive icon and there is no way to display the lyrics of a song. Plus that I was looking for something that was following the material design guidelines more.
Edit: just checked it. Seems like it's not properly reading some artist tags, so it cannot find them:
@electro1 they do need to update their website a bit fwiw. Friendiqa is not that great at all. But no, that's not an official one either. They do not have any first-party app at all.
Edit: You can also find a help section wherever you might choose to create an account, or a wiki available at wiki.friendi.ca/ with more information.
And if you want to get more familiar with how Friendica works, you can also check out (and share) anubis2814's videos on YouTube on the topic:
Just tried the mobile version of Winamp looking for a better Android music player. The interface looks great tbh, but man, they got no support for wma files and some of the tags are not read correctly (on the songs I own). I know this is not an issue for most of the people, but for me, it's really limiting on the music players I can use on my phone. Sadly, Winamp doesn't fit in this category either. Thank god there is Foobar that supports all these from day 1
search results will become secondary as they push their service
Oh, so they're gonna emphasize less on search results and more onto their half-arsed services that they're axing from time to time? This is so Google of them.
@electro1 Which app more exactly? I'm not aware of Friendica having any mobile app. The web version seems more than fine. If, however, you want a dedicated mobile app, then check out Relatica.
Friendica also supports the Mastodon API, so you can also log in with pretty much any Mastodon app.
