I tried it out and it has some issues here and there but seems to be on a good track to become a good Mediaplayer. I'm not 100% happy with Strawberry and used to use Amarok way back when before I switched to the, now un-maintained, Cantata. I'll definitely follow the development of this.

It certainly needs a special type of person I think. We are both very independent people for example and we value alone-times.
It helps that we have a common interest that can be shared via the distance: Playing videogames and watching shows like Star Trek together.

I've been in a long distance relationship for 5 years now, still gong strong!

I have a big library of music, mostly MP3 or OGG and don't really see myself pivoting solely towards streaming services where access to songs could be revoked at any time or could be changed/censored like movies or series sometimes are on streaming platforms. I do use YouTube for listening to new music and when I like it enough, I buy it to download (or acquire it in a different way if it's not available).

Yeah, being able to seamlessly switch between the desktop app and mobile is a must for me so that's something I already prefer in Signal.

There'd be no legit excuse for why so many people voted him in though.

Though now that I'm more awake I think it's probably unrelated, I haven't seen this circulated around that much.

I wonder if their recent blog post promoting conspiracy theorists and right-wing people turned away more people from telegram than they expected and now they feel the need to spread FUD against their competitors.

Helldivers 2 works on Linux.

There were grassroots movements like the Limux project (Munich using a custom Linux distribution). But that got shut down by Microsoft bribery (not confirmed, but MS did build a new headquarters in Munich...).

Most responses tell you to add them yourself which is a solution to this problem. But I think the reason why the state of businesses on OSM and Organic Maps (which uses OSM as a source) is so dire is interesting too:

OSM must not use other maps as sources. In fact, they must not use any information that hasn't been licensed in a way that specifically allows OSM to use it. As such, they can't just go to Google Maps and copy all the business information over because Google has not licensed that information in an open way. Information like streets, paths or houses can be gleaned from satellite pictures that have been provided to OSM and can be put in easily so they tend to be up-to-date. But for businesses, someone has to actually go there and confirm the information.

Now why is Google so good at that? Because almost every business owner makes sure to put their business on GMaps themselves and keep that information updated so it doesn't depend on one person going through the area regularly.
