Not that I have read about but I also haven’t looked to try and find out if it is a thing. I play everything I’m ripping at no faster than 2x in the hopes that it looks like normal enough activity whilst still saving me some time.

As I have said though I have been using soggfy for over a year now, ripping probably around 5000 tracks at a guess and had no issues what so ever :)

Soggfy works perfectly as of Monday when I last used it.

You download a modified version of Spotify and then it rips the audio Spotify itself is sending rather than locating poor quality yt versions etc. If you pay for premium then you can get 320 mp3s or ogg files.

I’ve been using this for a little over a year and never once had an issue with it so worth checking out :)

I mean, the 6a still has 3 years of support left so whilst it is older it is hardly at the end of its supported life.

Not everyone can change a battery in a phone, I can but I would still rather not do it on a phone that isn’t really anything special and whilst yes they could feasibly last that long I think in practical everyday use application by the time you are getting to three years of daily use it will be beaten up and physically not in great shape any more for your average user.

What relevance does that have to what I said? If the physical phone isn’t going to last that long then I’d argue it is of little importance.

These devices aren’t even constructed to last 7 years. I don’t see that either of those things are worth £600 personally.

Fuck all that noise, Pixel 6a + graphene £130. Why waste so much money!?

I really enjoyed “Heading Out” this year which I felt was something a bit different and fresher feeling. Might be worth checking out!

salute

I couldn’t tell you. The page / list was made for graphene and I don’t know the technical differences between running that and lineage + micro g so not sure if the same list could apply. Sorry.

Yeah i understand what you are saying and that is why everyone’s individual needs come into play.

I don’t know what country you are in and that can obviously affect things, my banks 2FA is an SMS. I have options in terms of the other things you mentioned, where as you may not have.

For people looking to change and are worried about banks bullshit here is a link to a list of currently supported bank apps.

“Making day to day life functionally impossible” is a bit drastic. I think that depends on each individual person, their needs both in terms of banking and privacy.

My banking app doesn’t work on Graphene but I also couldn’t care less. I can just as easily log in to my account via my browser on my phone if I need to do something and it isn’t exactly hard, it takes all of 30 seconds more than using an app.

I realise in some other countries you don’t have that option but were I in the same situation for me that would be enough to change banks, I don’t want to be forced to use an app for anything.

Everyone has different lengths they are willing to go to to protect their privacy and I’m willing to make my life slightly harder where as others may not but I think saying it makes life functionally impossible is a bit of an overstatement and it needs to be judged based on individual needs.

There is a list of what banking apps work and what don’t.I’ll post it in a top level comment for visibility.

I too ran a unihertz titan for a few years, massive beast of a thing but I love a keyboard. Before that I had the blackberry keytwo which was my favourite phone of all time.

I backed the planet computers astroslide before they took everyone’s money and ran after delivering a fraction of the units promised and what was delivered was woefully out of date due to their ineptitude.

I still dream of a blackberry key three, but alas my dreams will never be fulfilled and I’m trapped on a shitty touch screen :'(

I spent 15 years working nights. 3 x 12 hour shifts (which was the best way to work IMO) and 4 x 10.

I’ve been working 5 x 8 hour days for 4 years or so now and I guess I have adjusted some what but I still fucking hate it. 5 day working week is the absolute worst. The only saving grace I have now is my current job doesn’t care when I start / finish as long as I complete my 8 hours so I end up going in at 4am so I can finish at 12 and actually have some day time to do other things.

Actual 9 to 5 is possibly the worst way to work imo

Seen as you decided to add an edit that you were returning to Duolingo, what exactly is your goal because it certainly isn’t to effective learn any language.

6 months ago you asked Lemmy for more effective alternatives to Duolingo and people gave you lots of alternatives that are a lot more effective including myself recommending Busuu and others recommending language transfer, both of which piss all over Duolingo which is utter trash.

You make so many posts on Lemmy but then rarely actually interact with them further beyond the initial drivel you spout, when you do receive advice after asking for it it seems you just ignore it anyway so what is the point?

Maybe it seems like I’m picking on you and honestly I am, purely because of things you said back in that early Duolingo thread you made, I’ll just go ahead and quote another of your gems from that thread.

VanHalbgott - "Oh, there’s a new course on Busuu for French that I don’t like that deals with inclusive terms I’m probably not confortable talking about anymore since they deal with genders and sexuality.

I’m trying to be a Christian instead and not talk about those things in my faith, but that doesn’t mean I’ll be learning what is supposed to be teaching me French with weird terminology."

I hope going back to Duolingo they won’t have the audacity to teach you gendered words for Spanish, how could your faith possibly deal with that!?

I hope this makes you uncomfortable to read, as uncomfortable as the first incredibles movie or the fact people use memes within the steam communities. People really are so inconsiderate and should really alter their way of being to appease you and your faith!

I started it earlier today and it is pretty nostalgic so far, I’m looking forward to putting some more time into it! Thanks for making me aware of its exsistence!

I had a similar problem with CD players in my car jumping due to bass around 07, my solution was using a power inverter and a laptop running winamp with my whole CD collection ripped onto it propped up on my centre console xD

Oh, it is you.

Mr "I started using Busuu yesterday:

Though I’m not sure about the inclusive words for French due to my convictions as a Christian."

You made this comment nearly 6 months ago and still to this day I think about how stupid it is. How does your Christianity feel about the inclusive words in Spanish?

There is a test before this one that OP would have completed. This tests for the proficiency of the unit you have just completed and is necessary to then advance onto the more advanced levels.

The test in the picture is an additional one for some kind of busuu certificate, I don’t know if it counts as official accreditation but I doubt it very much.

Not paying doesn’t hinder your progress at all and you miss nothing from not doing this silly certificate test at all other than like you say so e-peen waving I guess?

I learn Spanish to speak it with my gf and busuu has been amazing when compared to shit like Duolingo that doesn’t teach you anything usable at all so this shade being thrown based on some stupid certificate is totally unjustified.

Oh, I loved ac!d as well, I see you are a person of impecible tastes xD

I already have the ROM and will be giving it a go on the train later on today :D. I’m afraid I have no insights on an android emulator but there must be a good one!

I do agree I loved it the way it was and think it worked very well I just don’t think it sold very well. I don’t think I met anyone else that was aware of it, let alone played it.

I didn’t know there was a PSP version though, I might have to get a ROM of it and load it up onto my vita and give it a go! I’m guessing you would recommend giving it a try? ;P

I do remember printing a load out for myself at the time when I realised it was possible but it could never replace the look and feel of real cards.

I’m going to have a search tomorrow for my set actually now after having this comversation, just to see what I actually have and check it isn’t getting damp :D
