I believe in FOSS to the point that I often unnecessarily uninstall mysql for mariadb.

With that said, I hate to be the guy w/ a non-FOSS recommendation but my suggestion, Symfonium (a paid app that has a free trial), does have a way to get the full version without Play Services.

I use it for online radio and it also lets you add descriptions/tags you can filter stations based on the tags for if/when your list gets long. And the online radio isn’t even the most popular feature for most users:

• Completely reconfigurable layouts
• Completely customizable ‘Now Playing Screens’
• It’s just one dev and he is VERY responsive to feedback (perhaps overly as he chimes in on most negative reviews on Play Store) and has built out various features based on forum suggestions/bug reports
• Smart playlists: For example they have Favorites, Recently Added, Most Played, Random, Rediscover. And all of these can be further split by Album/Artist/Playlist/Track
• It is integrated w/ my server running Jellyfin, so I can play music across all my devices and allows you to cache/download content for offline playback but otherwise allows you to stream over LAN

There’s too much to cover about it w/o sounding like a shill. Here are some people that aren’t me w/ their opinions:

And here is an update on changes posted by the dev last week:

Two out of 10 Linux users agree that insert name here is the best distro

It’s audio-specific but I use Audiobookshelf’s RSS feed

I have a local folder where I put downloaded youtube audio and the RSS feed updates automatically when new files are placed there. Then, I access it through Lissen or the official audiobookshelf app.

Same. I imagine it’s how most Christians feel about their loudest supporters as well

Very nice UI. Pleasantly surprised (even if I’m staying w/ ansiweather)

To those late to the party, you can sample voices here so that you’re not in a crapshoot: https://rhasspy.github.io/piper-samples/

Just to clarify, this is standalone and doesn’t need a local LLM or anything yeah? Also, any tips on tutorials for the install process?

Edit: Nevermind, I realize it’s install and use

Might want to link to the official page for a bit more context

Veronica Explains has a good intro video on it if you’re looking for an intro btw.

If thinner, lighter and modern-ness are of interest, I’d say a chrultrabook, but they are more finicky re: swapping out parts. If you are looking for TUI-only, then it can be a sufficient option for a fraction of the price of the competition.

Was just thinking about whether there was an open-source alternative the other day, thanks for sharing.

• Doesn’t have millions to market like the alternatives.
• More technical requirement (historically anyways)
• Much less likely to be the default on hardware (which is what most ppl stick to)

Made the switch as well thanks to the modern key bindings

Prior to switching (upgrading?) to Wayland, Debian KDE crashed under X11 regularly when waking from hibernation and the taskbar would disappear. Restarting the plasma shell made it operable again, so I created an alias and regularly rebooted the DE shell 2-3x a day:

alias damnTaskbar='killall plasmashell ; kstart plasmashell &'

I get it. I’m a year in and was pulling my hair out dealing w/ frustrating issues for the first few weeks/months. Smooth sailing now, but I don’t deny the learning curves that are possible.

There’s also cheat as well

Didn’t know this, thanks for sharing!

Can you elaborate on what makes it different from libredirect/redirector?
