I heard r/lemmee was shut down funny as how threatened they feel.

Im hoping this. I hope people learned and choose the better option instead of showboating for internet points. There’s other places to do that.

I have been deliberating this lately. Mainly due to online providers overreaching. I recently bought a small common office product. Click and collect. I ensured to click no comms/marketing. 2 times in the following 4 days I got an email offering an apple subscription from a no reply email address. I had to call and complain to get them to stop and they had the cheek to say they HAD to legally offer me this as it was free perk with my purchase. They didnt see how they could be wrong and tried to convince me this was not marketing and was infact a great deal for me. I asked him if I’d walked in store would I have been forced to somehow take the offer.

I am sick of my contact details and my spending ability being considered fair game.

You give them your money and that’s not enough they always want more.

It’s prob should have a level of care from the cruise company when it’s to a remote or uninhabited island VRs a tourist city.

Thanks for the update. Education is always an over option to being downvoted.

I was not being ignorant just remembering badly.

I think you need to define a country. My perception would be a place when a civilisation consisting of more than 3 regional groups to share the same common rules, and it clear boundaries and a name.

Isnt there evidence the First Nations came from Indonesia? Or Polynesia?

What is wrong with these weirdos. It is quite bizarre. It’s not like they don’t have access to the bank of the product. It must be some kinda twisted urge somehow populate their gene. Quite irrational, esp for those who spent so many years studying to be in the medical profession.

A tad older. My response was the same as yours. I dream of fixing it but how?

Then I remember so many people voted or walked towards this. A handful of greedy have been pushing this and other humans were happy to enable it, and millions more accept it.

Which leads me to think maybe I am the minority.

Whilst they are technically correct this is overzealous use of the law and by three of them, it looks like a police force with too many officers looking for easy targets.

They can’t turn up to hate crimes so gang let’s go looking for minuscule crimes that people can be tripped up on. I wouldn’t even cause it civil disobedience as it’s not a crime that’s even educated on.

They might be right and even after review the service can say they are technically right however this is not a good look and erodes trust in authority.

Same, I think I am gonna have to go back to the old ways of downloading my music to my device, or self hosting. I just need the time to sort it. I need a good guide.

I switched to Qobuz a few months ago ago, I am not too impressed as I use it mostly for the car and its CarPlay app is dire. I have to keep specifying to play via Bluetooth, and it drops out a lot. Searching is also hard.

Bringing over the libraries has been hit and miss.

I wanted it to work but it didn’t for me.

It seems to be very focused on showing me their idea of new music rather than what I would listen to. For me functionality should come first.

I am a visual person. Regardless of platform the uniform delivery style of all videos and shorts is tired. The tropes, the doing it for likes, monetisation, the monotone voice. There is little originality or genuine creativity to it. It could be good but the cycle of garbage combined with the self juicing algorithm makes it really irritating.

I will take a look thanks

Been hanging for an update. Could probs get one on the main tv. A bit pricey to do the full house though.

Jumping on this and will be starting slowly. I have a newish laptop…that has a broken screen. Alternatively I can pick up a new one. I also have a bunch of portable hard drives.

I have terrible internet (cable) with the phone line sitting at a spot in the hall where I could keep a small dedicated cupboard. So I was thinking something connected by Ethernet.

I want to ideally use it for downloading content and streaming it to devices around the house. Likely firestick or an alternative tv box.

Secondly I would use to stream music to my iPhone outside the house.

Any guides or starting points would be welcome.

I may take a look at this. Also looking for a 360 alternative

I think that maybe you should look at as your earned your ability. It’s deserved. Each and every attempt you persevered.

Some people do it first time. Some people take 10. Don’t compare. Just be proud of all the extra things you can do now.
