Android: https://f-droid.org/packages/info.schnatterer.nusic/
But ultimately, check out https://muspy.com/ and you can set up something using RSS with n8n or something similar.

Technology@beehaw.org•People regret buying Amazon smart displays after being bombarded with ads
50·1 month agoI hate to be an I-Told-You-So type of guy, but surely you look at how they handle their tablets and knew it was why these things are so cheap. Honestly the best smart display I’ve seen so far outside of the DIY ones is the Pixel Tablet and that was underpowered as a tablet. It’s funny though, because smart displays will become ubiquitous eventually not just because they’re useful, but because they’re prime real estate; look at the Samsung fridges. I’m guessing more people will have to install a Pi-Hole just to make them bearable.

Technology@beehaw.org•YouTube Live adding joint horizontal/vertical streams, side-by-side ads
27·2 months agoConcurrent ads is one usage, yes. But from when people started reacting on YouTube, I always thought there should be a more seamless way. When I started seeing takedown notices for people reacting to music videos, I thought why can’t they just overlay/embed it. It seemed like a no-brainer to me. Now that technology is finally here.
As for the technology being co-opted by ads, on my TV I don’t have ReVanced and so am stuck with ads, if I can have silent ads play at the side rather than delay what I’m trying to watch at the beginning of a video, I’d go for the side ads.
So…
Great. Here’s something no one asked for
Except me!

Nope, it’s just an option in the main settings.

49·2 months agoI’m gonna leave it at this. An ad hominem attack isn’t the same as providing context. I’m not a moderator of the community nor am I an admin of the instance. But I use the community a lot and as such I want a vibrant functioning community. For me personally, your opposition to Jet would hold more weight if you posted. But it’s akin to people wanting to ban gay sex and yet they identify as straight and live in a town which is 100% straight. It doesn’t remotely affect you. If you do decide to become active, I will happily make you feel welcome as that’s what a community is about.

38·2 months agoWhat arguments, it’s like someone complaining about roads when they live on a boat and haven’t ever touched land. As the admin of the instance has said, should Jet fall short, they’ll remove him. Until then, either be an active member of the community or ignore it.

521·3 months agoOkay, I see what it is now, you’re a vegan and he’s all about keto. But for someone kicking up a fuss, don’t you think it’s a bit disingenuous when you have more posts complaining about him here than you do in the actual community itself. Can we not all live in harmony, regardless of our opinions on how we source protein?

















Lemmy is what you make it. If you join the biggest and busiest communities, your experience won’t be as good as if you joined smaller more quality communities.
