Eudora! I had forgotten all about that one.

I see that Apple does now, but no indicator of Spotify that I can see. Are you talking about how you can run the desktop app to stream the files on your computer? Because that’s not a digital locker.

Yeah it was a hundred times better in GPM.

that was on desktop web browser, https://music.youtube.com

Also, I’m pretty sure you can’t do this anymore.

Menu option is still there for me

It opens a file chooser, so I’m guessing it’s just one file at a time now, which is lame.

It’s nice when it works, but Plex has so thoroughly enshitified themselves now it needs internet access to stream on the home network! (Yes, I have read the KB/wiki pages and done the setup but it loses user management when connecting that way by IP).

From the 5 services shown in the graphs, that would be YouTube Music which lets you upload your library (yes, even FLAC).

There’s definitely differences in the catalogs. If there’s a particular genre that isn’t well represented on YouTube Music that is well covered on Spotify. Maybe they just got YT Premium as a family subscription because the kids are on YouTube all the time. I personally can’t imagine switching to a service that doesn’t have a digital locker for me to upload my existing library like YouTube Music does (though I’m still mad at the uploads being less integrated than they were in GPM).

why should I be paying for a music streaming app when I already have YouTube premium?

You mean because that subscription includes premium YouTube Music?

No, of course not. Piracy would sour the cream.

It’s an Idaho-exclusive new dish at Taco Bell.

the stupid thing is I still have my children and I adding our MS accounts after creating the local accounts, because I like setting the parental limits once for all the computers. I just can’t stand the stupid email-based usernames it creates when signing into the MS account during account creation.

This is why I use virtual credit card numbers for everything online.

Well color me jelly. That’s like actually usable and shit.

wait, really? For me on Windows 11 the launcher right-click literally just has one entry: Firefox. Nothing for recent/frequent/open tabs. Nothing for opening a new tab or window. Nothing for Private. Just that one entry that does the same thing as just clicking the launcher. There’s a separate start menu item for private browser window, I could pin that on the taskbar next to the regular launcher.

And what’s different from the current profile manager.

From a usability standpoint, what current profile manager? Having to web search to find out how to open it puts it beyond the reach of most users.

F’ing Lightroom, man.

I don’t think ESPN cable would be affordable to most people without bundling it into cable packages

Then it’s not a viable network.

their TV is subsidized by every non sports watching household.

But that’s exactly why people started ditching cable in the first place. They wouldn’t be bundling ESPN with non-sports channels, they would bundle other less popular sports channels with ESPN so they can jack up the price because ESPN. But ESPN doesn’t carry the sports I follow, and I can’t get the network that does without paying double because it’s in a bundle with ESPN.

Bundling is only cheaper if I actually want all of the bundled things, but that’s not how companies like Comcast bundle things.

Network neutrality became policy after Comcast, Verizon, and ATT were all caught throttling Netflix while their own competing services were lagging behind in market share. It was a response to a real problem that was harming competitors and consumers.
