Ah ok, now that makes a bit more sense. Yeah, I guess for the sake of app portability, appimages and the like do make a lot of sense.

I still don't see the big deal, takes seconds to drag them into the bin and move on. There are far bigger problems that they should be going after - irreplaceable batteries, locked bootloader, lack of root access on a device you own would be three of the biggest ones.

Yeah, but then you have to deal with the environment impact. Just toss them in the sun. Lol

I would certainly argue that there is a problem with non-critical apps being labeled as "system apps" and being undeleteable. This was only made worse by dropping SD support.

That said, I am still mostly able to use my pocket computer as a pocket computer, which is far more than I can say about the state of iOS, and just whining about Chrome and Google being packed in is such a non-issue when they are replaceable.

I would much rather see a fight that pushes to force unlocked bootloaders, the ability to delete any apps, a way to get end users root access, etc. There's no reason why a phone shouldn't be seen the same as a computer.

A few years ago I used the Spotipy Python library to poke at Spotify's API. I was able to scrape my playlists into CSVs with it.

If I cared more, I could probably hit up YouTube with those CSVs and try to make playlists on there out of them, but I never got that far lol

Why? Krita exists and it's FOSS. I would sooner throw them a donation than pay a subscription or fee for something else.

Yeah man. I don't get it these days. Back when all we had was GIMP, I fully understood it. But switching to Krita has been pretty easy. The Photoshop binds are still a bit off, but nothing that you can't go in and fix up the rest of the way

Him and the entire MAGA cult. Toss them all in a Tesla to the sun

Yeah, but why would I want to do that? I don't understand what problem this is solving...

The benefit is that I can save a fraction of a second by not having to symlink a config file... At the cost of having to use a bloated app system?

Yesss!!! That's my first thought too. Glad the 👉🏻😎👉🏻 ZOOP is still alive
