PixelAlchemist@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•is it possible to be married and still feel lonely?821·11 months agoThe thing about marriage is that anybody can do it. You don’t have to love somebody to marry them. It isn’t special. There’s no test you have to take together or qualifications you have to meet.
So yeah - he’s angry, and lonely, and he’s also married, but none of those things are related to each other.
Sounds like he needs therapy, but in our society men aren’t encouraged to share emotions if it doesn’t perpetuate an image of strength. So he’s expressing his emotions in a “socially acceptable” way: anger. Which is probably what also got him into these backwards ideas about his political ideology as well.

PixelAlchemist@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Personal music servarr with a mobile app?English101·1 year agoPlexamp can do all of this (not sure about mdna speakers though) and it has Tidal integration.
Finamp will also work but it lacks library/genre radio and mix support last time I checked.

PixelAlchemist@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.world•How does Lemmy (Mander in particular) sort "hot" and "active" posts?English5·1 year agoShould be the same across any instance.
Hot: calculated using the current score (up/down votes) in combination with how new it is.
Active: calculated using current score in combination with the timestamp of the newest comment:

PixelAlchemist@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•YouTube looks to be testing server-side ad injection to counter ad blockersEnglish3·1 year agoGoogle’s own Shaka sdk (video playback with ads) gives ad markers in the initial video manifest so that they can be marked on the timeline, so hopefully it’ll be trivial. Usually (but not always) with SSAI, the ads are spliced into the stream just before being sent to the client. That way if a user has just recently watched an ad pod, the server can choose to ignore that marker for a better UX in hopes that they don’t bounce if ads are too frequent.

PixelAlchemist@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, againEnglish2·1 year agoI run both side-by-side, but for me Plex is still the clear winner right now for features and polish.
PixelAlchemist@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, againEnglish3·1 year agoSure. Obviously it’s more complex than that, but it helps illustrate where the math came from in the parent comment. I don’t know why Tidal pays more, but I’m hypothesizing its because most of their “co-owners” of Tidal are themselves, artists/musicians, which IMO is significantly better than the out of touch folks running Spotify.
PixelAlchemist@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, againEnglish51·1 year agoThink of it not in terms of revenue percentages, but by payouts per song stream:
Service Payout/song Plays to make $1 Tidal Music $0.01284 78 Apple Music $0.008 125 Amazon Music $0.00402 249 Spotify $0.00318 314 YouTube Music $0.002 500 Pandora $0.00133 752 Deezer $0.0011 909 So song for song, Apple is paying 2.5x what Spotify is (.008/.00318), and Tidal is paying out a whopping 4x what Spotify pays.

PixelAlchemist@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, againEnglish2·1 year agoYeah I’m on the free plan which used to include FLAC and 320kpbs, but they stopped doing that for free plans about a year ago I think.
PixelAlchemist@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, againEnglish6·1 year agoI’ve been using deemix, and for the most part it’s been pretty seamless. Stuff direct downloads instantly, but it’s all in 128kbps now unfortunately. Then I have lidarr monitor everything for a lossless version.
PixelAlchemist@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, againEnglish502·1 year agoYou should check out Plexamp while you bridge the gap. It has tidal support built in, and you can self-host your own collection as you build it up. Then when you’re done with tidal, you don’t have to learn or download a new app.
