I have too many toothbrushes
No comment on that particular service, but I just checked Murglar 2 on my phone and it half-works, not everything is available to play / download but I’m not locked out either
Edit: I updated the app and it is much better, everything I tried downloads
Check out Pipewire, which is the modern standard of linux audio
I do not have the same requirements than you, but in audio production I can route anything in any which way I need (useful for switching monitoring or sources), and I did once plug an eq to my movie player because some ripped movie was really sounding bad
There are tons of VSTs available, too
There’ll be research to do, and a learning curve, but today is not the days of Jack anymore, it has become really easy if you go for a modern distro (arch, tumbleweed, fedora,…)
Have fun running your sound your way!
Any modern gnome works great… until you have to type a lot. Also, typing on a wall-mounted screen is usually uncomfortable, not angled right.
So depending on your “obedience”, debian 12, Fedora 40, OpenSuse Tumbleweed or plain old Arch will do it.
Maybe there are.different style/type/propositions of on-screen keyboards out there.
Apple supposedly makes good hardware, and my ‘23 mbp in 14’ has excellent battery, great trackpad, very good sound and a beast of a screen. Now I don’t like whatever material these machines are made of, they are downright unpleasant to grab or touch, and the keyboard is abismal shit. I hate it, I am seriously not using it as much as I could not because Asahi, or Fedora, or bugs, or the availability of certain software for Arm64, but because of that shit keyboard. Asahi runs great, the full Pipewire sound stack developed for it is a pleasure to work on. Switch monitoring every which way, plug Firefox into Ardour and rip youtube, it all works, period.
To me M2 with 16g of ram is about on par with an intel i12 in everyday life. Sure it will win on rendering movies or some specific stuff, but day-to-day it’s like my friend’ Carbon X1 on Mint really.
Depends on the machine… Arch, Debian and …Asahi! (Actually Fedora)

AsahiLina (@lina@vt.social) was back on the graphic driver to get, ultimately, to Vulkan
You’re not wrong. That’s why I kept a small macos partition to do the hard crunch when needed, like rendering in kdenlive. Everything else I can just do on Asahi, including Ardour multitrack exports.
AsahiLina was at it yesterday, ultimately chasing Vulkan compatibility:
Mbp sorry, not iPad :(

It is now based on fedora not arch, but the install process is the same
Ah again. One more moving target to chase for the nice AsahiLinux project.
I just finished the full soundtrack of a theatre play using AsahiLinux on my M2pro mbp. I resorted to macos only to render some heavy video tracks.
I do not use a kindle for the same reason. Amazon allows you to create a user email adress attached to mobile-enabled kindles to exchange docs by simply firing an email to that address ; it may not be on current models but 3G Paperwhites had them.
For Women’s Right Day, the android app store featured the lead of Security and Privacy of this very app. A lady BTW. Fuck me sideways how that was a ton of crap, retrospectively. She said in so many words the usual “privacy foremost” and other such obvious shit, then she also said “no selling ever”.
I despair of humanity.
You don’t need that: Proton will only surrender accounts/information to local authorities with the appropriate paperwork - and that’s their selling point on privacy, swiss law being pretty protective of privacy ; in this case, a corpus of evidence has been submitted by a recognized foreign entity & considered valid for action in regard to swiss law.
That’s what makes proton secure for journalists, political opponents and such: no swiss judge will enable any random dictator to get a dissident’s info, it won’t fly with swiss law. And if that escalates to bogus criminal charges, it is still up to a swiss judge to decide how and if to proceed.
You put your trust in Switzerland here, not in a nerdy business with an atom-smashing background.
It’s already on the AUR
Have tou heard of the sl command?
Since murglar allows you to download and keep the music you are paying for, I’m pretty sure that’s completely illegal and could get you banned from the service
Which you’d then stop paying for
And turn to regular old piracy to get your music
…maybe someone at deezer, a service that isn’t even profitable, think that one a bit further, because I’m on murglar since forever (tho I don’t use it all the time, only when I need it)
