What's an alternative to Spotify that doesn't play you the same fucking songs over and over?

    The idea is that you don't rely on Spotify shuffle at all. A separate app reads your playlist, shuffles it once, and puts that shuffled version into your library. Now you can play this new version with the in-Spotify shuffle disabled. Once you've heard all the songs, just rinse and repeat.

    I was recently trying trying to get help on a clipboard program someone had recommended me, clipq. What I found instead was a GitHub discussion where the dev said "I'm not sure what you mean by 'man' pages" in response to someone asking for them. I think I need to find an alternative

    I'm in group chats that often devolve into 2-3 talking about something between themselves. While I'm busy with other things I'm not interested in being distracted every single time something is said because I think the notification might be something that requires attention. Once I have some free time I may be interested in going back to see what was said, but if I know they're going off and I don't want to hear about it at the moment I'd like the conversation to automatically mute for a short period of time.

    The assumption is that by that point I am aware of the messages and have chosen to ignore them for the time being. There is no need to notify me because I've already been notified

    I don't know why in 2023 we still can't debounce notifications. It should be simple to say if I get 3 messages in the same conversation in 120 seconds, silence the conversation for an hour.

    The question is confusing, but are you under the impression that the Senate is elected by the states? This was the case until being changed by the 17th amendment. I believe the only times "states vote" would be in the case of constitutional amendments or the electoral college during a presidential election, but that is only in a sense because the states' electors are still chosen by the votes of the people

    It used to be that way, but last time I tried the only way is to disconnect from the internet otherwise it will force it.

    Mine doesn't show removed, maybe it got censored:

    Nope! Tried to give me ISS because I was reading "Screwjack", which I brought from home. It wasn't even in class! I was a f*cking junior. A high school junior should be able to handle Hunter S. Thompson.

    Despite what the term "digital natives," I really feel this skill is slipping. Many of my peers woud probably get lapped by a boomer if they had to use an actual PC again

    That was my thought at first. I think what they mean by "something a third-world person would like to complain about" is more like "someone from a third world country wishes they had those kinds of problems instead of the ones they do"

    Being an Apple fanboy is up to you, but I have to say that Apple and Samsung are not the only options. Android has many manufacturers with their own spin on things. Samsung's spin happens to suck

  • I moved here about a week ago at the start of the blackouts at reddit, figured it's time to say hello. Initially I was just looking for a reddit alternative, but I'd actually been growing more interested in the federation concept already, so Lemmy was really cool to try to learn. I'm still figuring things out, but quite enjoying it. I wound up on partizle.com from join-lemmy.org where this instance had a description along the lines of "friendly and tech-minded." I'm a CS student and consider myself fairly friendly so here I landed. I originally saw it as a portal to the rest of the fediverse, but I'm digging the local community too.
