Or just not buy so many ugly ass SUVs/crossovers/minivans/god the list goes on.

I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but wake me up when we've got replicators and holodecks. They're as enticing now as they were decades ago.

I personally liked Plex a lot better than Jellyfin, even though it's open-source. They worked about the same and Plex's layout is a lot more pleasing to me and my family/friends.

After a year of local music, I don't see the need to stream at all. I have more than enough space on my phone and no worries when driving through places with bad Internet. Plus I don't miss anything when I enable Airplane Mode.

I've tried it, not my cup of tea. Rhythmbox conforms to my GTK4 theme a lot better, and the layout is so much more suited for me.

I feel that Strawberry's layout is ugly as sin, but hey, everyone seems to think Rhythmbox is ugly so maybe that's just me.

I admire any active music library management app tho. Seems like there aren't that many people with local music libraries anymore, so we don't get many new apps like Strawberry or Rhythmbox where MTP transfers, tag editing, lyrics, etc are big focuses. So cheers to the devs of Strawberry and thanks for the recommendation!

My dream is for Rhythmbox to be ported to libadwaita, but that doesn't seem to be in the cards. All the latest GTK4 music players are extremely simple, with no library management features whatsoever. Think Amberol, GNOME Music, and G4Music. I wish I had learned some C when I was young and had the time so I could just port it myself.

I don't. I compress the FLACs on my PC (into OGGs) and sync my desktop library with my phone. I have like 5k songs and they take up like 40gigs of space.

I used to use Plex to stream to my phone, but there were too many issues.

About a year ago I switched from Spotify to a local library with the Symfonium music player on my phone and Rhythmbox on the PC. I have not once looked back.

Plus, you get the satisfaction of growing a collection that can last forever.

I highly recommend it !

People are sharks for argument on forums like this.

Vocal comedy, yes.

You're lucky if you get one good visual gag these days. Pain from doing something stupid will never NOT be funny !

It's pretty clear though.

There are so many more non-whites in the South than you realize, people that live happy lives without bother. Lots of those gas stations you passed probably didn't have one single white person in them lol I can't count how many times I've seen this in rural/suburban areas.

And if there are white people there, they're likely not what you imagine them to be. It's wild how such a prejudice usually comes from the people that claim to be so open and accepting.

In other words, nobody cares that you're brown. Just get some gas, grab a snickers, piss, and move on. This isn't the 1940s.

Better to be concise.
