So it stickers for lemmy basically

Okay, understood, so the idea is that the device connects to the streaming service independently and the PC client acts as a glorified remote. Sad that it doesn’t work.

Would it work with the mobile tidal app? Just curious, since that might be better as a “remote” than a static desktop pc.

Yeah I know of the AUR package, in fact I checked right before writing xD, that’s the “user built stuff” I mentioned, since the AUR is the Arch User Repository after all.

About the Wiim, I’m reading about it for the first time but it seems like it’s a LAN based audio device, right? I bet there’s some Linux application that is able to connect to it and create a virtual output device you can pick for the tidal app, or any other audio.

Me from the future before posting the comment: Yeah no, I checked, there isn’t. That’s weird because Wiim does have an open API to send an audio stream into it so you should be able to create an audio stream from any app and then link them… Like, an app that creates a local audio streaming server, links any app output into that server and then sends it to Wiim via its public API. It should be doable and offer a lot more flexibility, but I guess there’s not enough interest for someone to bother doing so. The one doing it should have a WIIM device to test too and the overlap between the people able to do this stuff and the people with a WIIM might not be that big give that’s a device that does a lot of stuff for you in theory.

I was referring to you having a “daily recommendations” playlist that just keeps going after it finished by appending similar music, or “radio based on playlist” kinda things. Also, Qobuz’s recommendations are way too generic, the lists are hand made for everyone which ironically doesn’t cater enough to individual tastes.

uh, same. https://github.com/Mastermindzh/tidal-hifi

In fact spotify doesn’t support arch at all, all there is is user built stuff too. You have a flatpak version of spotify but sod o you of tidal-hifi.

Sorry if I sound rude but your jerking of spotify when it offers the same capabilities of user made stuff rubs me the wrong way.

Tidal was originally European but DayZ Jay-z bought it up so it’s technically American now; Qobuz is french but it doesn’t have a “brain-dead radio mode”. Both have unofficial Linux clients.

Rn I use tidal because it’s on the top 3 of the ones that pay the most to artists iirc(quobuz is up there too) and it hasn’t had a huge American influence that I know of, but do your own research on the alternatives to see which suits you the most, there are tons of articles about them all.

You just got a new laptop and it has 250 GB of disk space?? Are you mad???

My Pendrive has 256 GB!

The miscaracterization of the movement by all the companies and groups of companies is no mistake, it’s intentional to push their agenda that they are the reasonable ones and to take it down.

Can you install an app with GUI in a distrobox that then shows up on the app list? That’d be amazing but I doubt it since it’s using containerization, I wonder what “tightly integrated” really means. Anyway, I’ll look it up, thanks!

Discover is a KDE thing, not a fedora thing. Not fedora exclusive.

I’d go for an atomic distro if it weren’t for the AUR. It’s too comfy.

Good for you that EOS now runs on systemd-boot, not grub lol. It grabs the EFI lines automatically from the boot partition and it just works. Personally, booting should be as simple as possible, as little personalisation as possible, make it just work.

I sometimes forget or delay updates because of life and have over 500 updates. Skim through them if they are patches, minors or majors, and just run. In any case, my disk’s are brtfs and I have timeshift for backups. If anything breaks horribly a live USB can restore it, if anything is weird I can restore it via UI. It autoruns every time I run Pacman and stores 5 copies of the “before” state. It also creates a daily copy for the last 5 days so 10 copies in total.

It’s more than enough that if something fails I’ll have something to go back to, and since it internally works with something akin to hardlinks snapshots don’t take that much space.

I’ve not had issues since setting it up, so, great.

I would have preferred for the function to be called mod, since it’s the modulo operation, which in math is represented with a percentage or “mod”. Most programming languages use a percentage because of that, so do a lot of calculators.

Not many do. Yours didn’t, for example.
