    It seems like a no-brainer but actually no.

    Quick test would be for example if there are:

    • at the beginning of the music library a lot of "no artist name" "no album name" entries, so the foldername isn't used at all.
    • a lot of artist with their own entry with just one album and one song because the actual albumartist collaborated on one song with them and the mp3 resides in the same folder but they got split in the library.
    • if the player doesn't show music which isn't part of Playlist.

    So my conclusion is their are even 3 types and corresponding mangement:

    • Folder based requires file management
    • Meta data based requires tag management
    • Playlist based requires Playlist management

    Often players make combinations also I guess.

    A music player which "just plays whatever is in a directory". Very handy for people having a media folder with artist folders and album subfolders. For the type of people, like myself, who focus more on tidy and disciplined storage of files instead of managing ID3 metadata etc

    I don't know, but I guess the reason why it isn't done yet is because nobody perceives it as a problem. It would require a repository plugin to install plugins I think. But it all comes down to plugin distribution and deployment. Mostly if you want something outside the default repository you can just upload it to your own install / stack. If a developer provide alternative download ways. Like a github release for example.

    Can only be done by default ... also means there are other options.

    Matt disappoints but their plugin repository isn't a vendor lock in like Apple denying other app stores (without acts enforcing it etc).

    If an historical timeline uses this labeling system it can't omit the NT part though. Windows NiceTry came out in 1993 but also long after that MS had MS-DOS based editions (up until Windows Me iirc)

    I'm fairly new to Linux also, Debian with Gnome.

    I need CLI filemanager when doing something outside home directory etc.

    For example fix a desktop shortcut and you can't start Nautilus "as an administrator " afaik. Or it won't ask for root password.

    I use OSMand website to prepare and plan: routes and POI in folders for certain trips. Then I sync that to OSMand to have it on mobile. I think it's part of the paid subscription.

    I guess that's on a PC? Or isn't there any iOS or Android app on your smartphone which is either showing in-app adds or just simply hooked up to adtech by trackers?

    If you put it like that I would prefer production, casting and direction like Narcos (Mexico / Griselda etc). Sublime in picturing another era and pure nitty gritty of real life back then. Without fake glorification.

    My understanding is roughly, for example:

    • Microsoft Word desktop application: not SAAS.
    • Microsoft Word online: SAAS (just like any other service accessible by browser but not a "localhost")
    • Onedrive: SAAS, storage with local explorer integration.
    • Exchange server on prem: not SAAS, increasingly diffucult to do.
    • Exchange server by MS: SAAS
    • Microsoft Outlook Classic for desktop: not SAAS.
    • Microsoft Teams for desktop: SAAS although local install but its just another frontend instead of browser.
    • Office365: SAAS but really a container for every tool in the MS online toolbox together.

    Some caveats: Word handles spellchecker in their cloud and clippy 2024 (Copilot) integration blurs the line.

    SAAS isn't about subscription perse although they have them of course. Its about "not needing to take care of". It's software on "someone else's computer" just as with public cloud. In a SAAS construct a provider does the hosting, computing, connection, install, configuration and maintenance. Absolving clients from that burden.

    Comparing proprietary desktop applications (even with a subscription) with FOSS alternatives is useful, it's just not SAAS.

    I prefer FOSS as much as possible and didn't read all comments on YouTube but ... desktop applications are not SAAS. eg LibreOffice and Adobe apps. But I guess it only requires a different title as the list itself is useful

    **My questions are:** - Does the DuckDuckGo Firefox extension "Privacy Essentials" add a local css file to every visited site? - Can others reproduce this? - Is this harmfull or not? **Background:** I have a simple static one page site with just one html and css file. It's completely tracker free. Debugging it a bit with developer mode (F12) on I discovered a second css file. This file isnt on my webserver but added local. To pinpoint what caused this I removed every add-on / extension in my browser one by one, reloading and checking my website every time. Took me a while because didnt expect this one causing it. **To reproduce:** - Install the extension from the link. - Open a random site - Check in developer mode the tab Style editor. - Scroll and look for a file named %3Ais(%5Bid*%3D'google_ads_iframe'%5D%.css or something like that. - Remove the extension and refresh. - Check if the file disappears. **Content of the css file:** :is([id*='google_ads_iframe'], [id*='taboola-'], .taboolaHeight, .taboola-placeholder, #credential_picker_container, #credentials-picker-container, #credential_picker_iframe, [id*='google-one-tap-iframe'], #google-one-tap-popup-container, .google-one-tap-modal-div, #amp_floatingAdDiv, #ez-content-blocker-container) { display:none!important; min-height:0!important; height:0!important; } Edit 25-03-2024: Changed title to not give the wrong impression.

    **My main question is about /run/user/1000:** - Should I avoid touching it? - Could I delete it? - Is there something wrong with it? **Background:** I'm fairly new to Linux and just getting used to it. I use fsearch to quickly find files (because my filenaming convention helps me to get nearly everything in mere seconds). Yesterday I decided to let it index from root and lower instead of just my home folder. Then I got a lot of duplicate files. For example in subfolders relating to my mp3 player I even discovered my whole NextCloud 'drive' is there again: /run/user/1000/doc/by-app/org.strawberrymusicplayer.strawberry/51b78f5c/N **Searching:** Looking for answers I read these, but couldnt make sense of it. - https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/162900/what-is-this-folder-run-user-1000 - https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=412850 So if its a bug with flatpaks I'm inclined to delete a certain db at ~/.local/share/flatpak/db **Puzzled:** - Is this folder some RAM drive so my disk doesnt show anything strange? Because this folder doesnt even show up at the root level. - Are these even real? Because the size of it (aprox 370 GB) is even bigger then my disksize (screenshot). Any tips about course of (in)action appreciated.

    Although the headline focusses on a obvious category of media, it really can go wrong on a lot of other categories as well.
