I was referring to the fact that you are discussing completely unrelated stuff like it was related.
Sure you could do all that but that depends on your friends having the same music taste and also seems like a pain over just paying a few bucks. Ripping CDs is also pretty damn annoying.
I currently have 6728 liked songs on Spotify. Assuming the average album is around 11 songs per album that would be slightly more than 611 albums. CD albums seem to cost anywhere between 100 and 300 kr, so lets say they cost 150 kr.
150 kr * 611 = 91 650 kr.
Spotify Premium is 116 kr per month.
91 650 / 116 ≈ 770.
770 / 12 ≈ 64 years.
Could I get many of those albums used? Yeah probably.
Could I borrow a few disks from friends? Yeah maybe.
Could I even find all the albums in my country? No, I would have to. import some of the more niche ones.
Could I pirate them? Yeah, sure but that would be very very time consuming and illegal (not that I care about the last part) and we aren't discussing piracy anyways.
With all that in mind lets just half the amount of years (fairly generously). It's still a long ass time and the time and monetary invesment it would take to procure all these disks would be that it would very high. My time is also worth something and doing that seems like a gigantic waste of time I could be spending actually listening to music.
I don't give a jack shit if I don't own the media afterwards. I'm paying for a service and I get a service. I don't see the problem.
If you don't think it's worthwhile to you then just don't use it.
You are parroting Lemmy nonsense and those words are hollow.
P.S. If I am gonna burn CDs why not just pirate.
Yeah, sure free is nice. But complaining about it imo comes across as pretty selfish.
They are pretty big in Europe.
Here is a link for your country: https://d-link.com.tr/
I think they are fine with that since you presumably don't pay then anyways. You just cost them money.
That's ridiculous.
They only fucked with people that didn't pay them and pirated their apps.
It's much cheaper if you have a varied taste though.
It's pretty exhausting having to block everyone all the time though. That's one small benefit with Lemmy. You can block instances.
I think the config setting is called something like "revamped sidebar".
They should just have advertised it as an ARM pc with better battery life.
I doubt there is any room to route cables there though. Doesn't look like it anyways.
Oh, I like it because it is fast and that all the emails are downloaded locally.
But I guess that the UI is a bit outdated especially before their quite recent makeover. Thunderbird has existed for 20 years after all.
If you haven't tried it recently I encourage you to try it again, but I get if you don't want to bother.
Doesn't look like there is any other side at all which is fairly common in older cases (and possibly new pre built). The metal plate you see is probably the side panel.
I guess they could probably fit some small cables between the motherboard standoffs but that's about it.
For what I know the problem was primarily with the webmail.
I used the desktop app with exchange online and wouldn't have noticed anything unless the support team didn't inform us.
Have you tried thunderbird? I like it a lot.
At work I haven't bothered with using thunderbird but I might if new outlook doesn't get good by 2029 (or whenever they retire the old outlook app)
I'm really happy that I don't have to administer any on prem exchange servers though.
