I had GPM for years, and dealt with YTM for about a year before getting sick of it. Spotify isn't bad, and a lot of alternatives the comments mention I'm sure are good as well. Honestly though, I ended up just archiving all my music in a Jellyfin server and paying $5 for the Symfonium app. It's pretty nice.

Do you have a source for Search Generative Experience using a separate model? As far as I'm aware, all of Google's AI services are powered by the Gemini LLM.

The last I had heard of this were articles months in saying it was still not fixed, but this doesn't invalidate my point. It may have been retrained to respond otherwise, but it spouts garbled inputs.

Generative AI does not work like this. They're not like humans at all, it will regurgitate whatever input it receives, like how Google can't stop Gemini from telling people to put glue in their pizza. If it really worked like that, there wouldn't be these broad and extensive policies within tech companies about using it with company sensitive data like protection compliances. The day that a health insurance company manager says, "sure, you can feed Chat-GPT medical data" is the day I trust genAI.

I mean, that just comes from lacking a multiple "you" conjugation. Just another reason English is terrible

I didn't even know that... Dang, now I miss it even more

It was super smart with offline streaming too, queuing up the smart downloads when you had no connection and requeuing your original mix when the connection returns. I relied on that for road trips and nothing comes close in functionality.

I used to use Google Play Music for years but when they shut down YouTube Music has always been garbage by comparison. I just pirate the music I like and donate occasionally to artists I like.

Don't do that. Don't give me hope.

Yeah, Photoshop is honestly a hard piece of software to replace because it frankly does so many different things quite well. Most of those things can be covered by breaking out into multiple software, like how I use Krita for illustration and Aseprite for pixel art, but yeah general image manipulation is really the main thing left.

I'm vaguely familiar with it, but it seems more like maintaining Unity 7 than continuing development of Unity 8. I've also seen UBports Unity8 which seems to have taken a backseat to maintaining Ubuntu Touch so I'm not holding my breath, but thank you!

The Copilot and Recall integrations just happen to be the straw that broke the camel's back. I've been wanting to make all my software as FOSS as possible, and the AI stuff has just been a catalyst. Especially for Adobe, I don't have a good replacement for Photoshop as GIMP has been a nightmare to use and Photopea isn't FOSS but I won't be using any Adobe products ever again.
