  • It describes itself as a server-side application for playing music, but it can be used locally as well. For example, the Cantata music player uses mpd to handle music decoding and playback, but automates it in the background to keep the interface simple for the user. This separation of concerns allows Cantata to benefit from things like decoding improvements, security fixes, and new sound APIs (e.g. PipeWire) without having to reinvent the wheel.








  • Even if you get past the loop, the fact that archive.is is now using third party CAPTCHAs means that their provider can track your interests: They can correlate the page you came from, the archived content you wanted, your browser fingerprint, your IP address if not using a VPN, etc. If it’s a big provider like CloudFlare or Google (spoiler: it is) they can also correlate all that with a significant chunk of your non-Lemmy web browsing.

    This is why I no longer use archive.is.

    Inability to learn from your mistakes is nothing to be proud of. Delete this

    Someone misinterpreting what I wrote because they only paid attention to part of it does not make it a mistake.

    When they follow up by trying to re-frame the topic that I started into a different one, and then criticize me for not having addressed their pet topic, and furthermore tell me I should have used different words so that they can avoid admitting their misunderstanding… well, that’s just willful aggression.

    Much like your comment to me is aggressive, and rude. You are now blocked.
