Deezer. They're actually starting to fix stuff.

Thank you for thinking forward. That's much appreciated.

I'm surprised to find there isn't much of a delay to loading the data from Oz. I'm sure I remember it being horrific not so long ago.

I don't know, I'm not familiar with kbin at all. Good to know I'm not alone in that thinking, though.

It would have helped me. My instance isn't in the same hemisphere as me!

This. Make sure it's a laser, and I from what I hear, never an HP (and I say that as an HP diehard).

The most 'Mercan thing on the internet today.

Came to Obsidian from Logseq without prior knowledge. Logseq was my first note-taking of any use. I had Keep but I didn't really use it, cos my data is in Google's clutches. I'm trying to degoogle.

Logseq doesn't feel together like Obsidian does. I'm in my first month of use and I had to spend ages trying to understand how to take notes properly before I could even feel confidence about using it.

Templates are a revelation. Dataview supreme. Front-matter a delight. If they exist in logseq they're hidden. The learning curve for Obsidian is brutal.

I have around a thousand pages of mixed tags and links because it's not discouraged in Logseq and I have to undo that huge mess. The discord forums are not a good place to Google for help and there's nothing like obsidian.rocks or innumerable posts helping. There are lots of logseq YouTube fans and that's where I ended up looking, but I prefer the written word.

Logseq was my learning phase but Obsidian is where I'll stay. I think Logseq needs the level of financial input that Obsidian gets. I'll have to live with the fact that it is not open source.

I had disabled the non-open source packages in Fedora software so i didn't see Obsidian and only saw Logseq. It was a good experience and given my time again I would probably do Logseq then Obsidian, again. I wish I had seen the articles on how to take notes on Obsidian.rockd before I started Logseq.

This. Loved it but stopped using it when it was bought by Microsoft (it was swiftkey that Microsoft bought, right - I'm getting old and it's late here)

Ironically I'm using gboard now, kinda given up looking for keyboard a while back.

I have to fuck about on F-Droid again for a bit I think.

Make it look like a centralised system initially. Provide a portal to a pre vetted/chosen instance that is accepting new members in their locale/country, that is the same for everyone.

Update: This (above) is badly written. I'm trying to say every potential new member gets presented with the same (pretend centralised) portal that is in fact an (valid long-lived) instance local to the individual potential for them to sign up with. So two local users in Oz get given a proxy to the instance local to them, and a user in Blighty an instance local to that person. The decentralised Lemmy looks centralised, but isn't. The proxy front end should explain that they're joining their local instance and it's like a network of little affiliated clubs that can see each others posts globally. they log in for the first time it will become clear.

It's late, I'm tired, sorry everyone. Is that any better?

I think it's confusing (the reverse of what they're used to) for a newbie who have been bought up in a centralised internet with single front ends of all the big players to be presented with little instances to join to access the whole.

Thank-you for this. Another song I'm like but didn't have in my library! How did that happen?

Thank-you.

Says it can't be installed on newer versions of Android, on that link. Does it have its own repo with new versions in?

What happened to libdvdcss? Is that not a thing anymore?

From what I remember - it's been a minute - there were many encryption keys that the publishing houses used to encrypt the DVDs released to the wild and they were packaged up in this codec, when they were found.
