I'm moving my music library to a funkwhale instance, but I don't want to have to keep two copies of every song (one imported to Funkwhale, one on a local drive).
It looks like Funkwhale will let you download a single song at a time from your own library
, but there doesn't seem to be a similar button for albums or playlists.
The files themselves are obfuscated in whatever indexing system it uses, so there's nothing to be done there.
Anyone know how this is possible?
What’s cool is you can actually do this for music, but in a way that humans can’t even detect it.
Allegedly hit by the street view car.
Lots of popular Youtubers are already there, and they strip the sponsor segments out of their content too.
For anyone struggling, lemmy web interface added the colon into the URL for the blog post link. Here's a clickable version without the colon:

To use your car metaphor, there was a time when you basically needed to know how a car worked in order to own/operate one. I'm talking like the 1910s-1920s. They were unreliable, simply made, manual transmission, hand crank start, and needed a lot of maintenance.
Millennials grew up at a time when you needed to have some understanding of how a computer worked in order to do basically anything.
I suppose the issue is that the car metaphor breaks down because a vehicle really only does one thing. Push pedal and go. Maybe worry about snow conditions if that affects you.
Meanwhile, computers can still be used to do thousands of different tasks and the only thread tying all of those tasks together is that they're done by the same machine. So knowing fundamentals about the machine gives you access to a lot of capability vs. just memorizing how to do a few tasks.
Yeah except one is a private entertainment establishment, and the other is a public transportation service.
The perfect consumer-facing example of this is Clear at the airport.
Instead of waiting in line to have your ID checked by a TSA agent, you let an iPad take your picture and then have an agent walk you to the TSA agent and vouch for you.
The whole iPad thing is marginally faster than just checking your ID by hand, so really they just found a way to monetize cutting the line. This provides zero net benefit to society except for extracting money from people for something that's supposed to be free.
Also, when everyone has Clear, we'll be back in the same boat with long lines and they'll probably charge more for Clear+ or some shit.
Isn't the whole DOGE thing to remove people and replace them with AI or something? Isn't this kind of a bad endorsement?
Oh huh. I just remember him winning the new shareholder vote for which I believe the stakes were "gimme money or I leave" despite there being no legal requirement to pay him.
Yep. There was another shareholder vote and he won it.
Man, how did you find that? I wasn't getting anything on ddg.
Anywho, looks a little buggy (it doesn't seem to deal with website credentials, so I'm not sure how it ever worked), but it's got the bones to do what I want to do. Thanks for the link.
