If I ever get into smart home crap, I’ll definitely be aiming for a local network solution >_>

You say that like you can listen to the lyrics instead…

Not FOSS, but I use Obsidian, and is FOSS, SyncThing for syncing.

There are FOSS Markdown editors of course, I just prefer Obsidian.

I use btrfs and have never run into FS issues with Steam. Hopefully the format isn’t actually a problem for anybody else either.

Hardware backed attestation isn’t about security or privacy, if you can’t pass SafetyNet on your Android device you can’t install certain apps, but even with stock software and passing SafetyNet you can still install malware direct from the App Store, it’s about vendor lock in, always has been.

Edit: Clarified my point.

I’ve been using Deezer for almost 3 months, and I used Tidal for about the same amount of time in the not too distant past.

I gave up on Tidal because they didn’t have the music I am looking for, and that’s okay, plus, their app was kinda bad.

I’m about to cancel my Deezer sub, the app is fantastic, I’ve loved being with Deezer, but there content is constantly running into dead ends, their AI player is really neat, but needs much love to become awesome.

Anyways, I hate Spotify, especially their UI, but we have a family plan.

I’m always on the lookout for music apps/subscriptions that are awesome, but like someone already commented, I am starting to feel like PlexAmp may be my future.
