2·3 days agoLast time I had a PC with an optical drive, I used the built-in features of Dolphin, and using a different software for metadata. If you use KDE, it’s hard to find a good reason to do otherwise. It will usually get metadata from CDDB, but on the other hand for metadata It’s really hard to beat Picard or Beets.
Beets will also scrape the lyrics and add them to the metadata, beside acousticbrainz goodness, multiple genres from Last.fm, and more. Picard will do most of this as well.
Yeah, if that’s your criterion now, your “Buy European” selection is about to become a whole lot narrower.
San Pellegrino is still made in Italy, and Nestlé is headquartered in Switzerland so…

Screw them and their ridiculous attempt to become the podcast chokepoint.
However one thing you need to be aware of, is that most apps will throttle your resolution to 720p with a setup like that.
There is basically no way to get proper streaming from these apps except by buying a completely premade android device, and then never ever messing with it.
The DRM system they use for this is called Widevine.
1·6 days agoinvestment in stabilizing Linux enough to make it a feasible alternative
Do you care to elaborate? If I had to write a list of reasons why Linux might not be ready for your average cubicle… Stability wouldn’t be one of them.

Resistance is obviously not futile (or Google wouldn’t be doing this). But resistance will have to update.
At least there’s a chance this crap is illegal where I live. And if so, there’s a small chance they’ll care.
Except, it is irrelevant whether or not you decide to use Google.
Looking at the Team, they’re obviously in Milan. It’s mostly Italians, but there’s hardly any other place in the country where you can even attract a team that diverse.
