  I had no trouble transferring my playlists to Deezer, but I only had dozens of them.

  Same for me, I got tired of the same artists being played over and over. I’ve switched to Deezer who does a much better job. I will probably switch to Qobuz soon.

  Piracy doesn’t have an easy way to discover new songs (somethind Deezer is much better at than Spotify). I’ll probably try Qobuz soon.

  Europe’s largest cloud and hosting provider

  It’s the first time I’m hearing about IONOS. Are they really larger than OVH?

  Using YunoHost saves a lot of hassles

  To be fair, watching random YouTube videos can be demotivating. A transcript would be much nicer.

  Here in France they drive at 70km/h in a 90km/h road. They also drive at 70 in a 70 road. And 70 in a 50 road. And 70 in a 30 road…

  I gave up on eReaders after 2 bad experiences with Kindles. I still have the last one I bought but it keeps on rebooting after a couple of minutes and couldn’t find a way to fix it.

  I had a look recently and they’re all 180€+ now. Back to real books then.

  I hate to tell you that because I appreciate your post, but it doesn’t fit in /c/technology

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google restores Nextcloud user’s file access on Android⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  An alternative is to rely on Yunohost where installing/upgrading Nextcloud is a matter of 2 clicks: yunohost.org

  All ancient phones unfortunately

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nextcloud cries foul over Google Play Store app rejection⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have automatic upgrades on my non-rooted phone. I use droidify but i’m pretty sure the official F-droid client works the same way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LibreOffice: We still see people on the fediverse recommending OpenOffice, despite it having year-old unfixed security issues⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve tried writing a resume last month and prepare a presentation (Writer and Impress). And I was very frustrated by crashes and lack of features. The interface is quite good, more intuitive than the MS equivalents.

  However, OnlyOffice was really nice to use.

  Greggs is my biggest cultural shock ever. I couldn’t find anything remotely edible there but locals keep praising it.
