  Hey bud, thanks for the criticism.

  I’m gonna go back to my IRL life now.

  Me? An expert? A guy who commented on a Lemmy post??

  I said fuck the rich and y’all attacked me for being a shill for big oil.

  Get out of here with that bullshit.

  Fuck y’all are so fucking pedantic.

  Okay, maybe every fucking state has a charger. But some places have not expanded, especially to rural areas.

  Jesus fucking Christ. Y’all can’t read extrapolation.

  Never comment on anything on the internet. Fucking assholes like y’all chase down every goddamn word.

  My dude is that what I said?

  I am very anti-big oil. I also acknowledge the fact that big oil has fucked us.

  I think if we can break away from their stranglehold on the industry, we can expand our grid and make EV happen. We also have a very large country with nothing in the middle. There are states without any electric chargers installed. It’s a very big hurdle.

  I never said we should slow EV adoption. If anything, I think they need to give everybody an electric car for free and make solar panels standard everywhere. But that’s not going to happen because of capitalism.

  I’m not using big oil talking points. I’m saying in reality, because of the damage that big oil has done to keep us from going electric, the infrastructure is not currently there.

  They’ve paid money to keep us from expanding our grid. They are saying it won’t work because they are making sure it doesn’t.

  I completely agree with you that I think it is absolutely possible, but there are bigger things blocking the way.

  I mean… The main reason is people don’t have money for a new car. Also the electrical infrastructure in this country is not ready for everyone to go electric.

  The gas and oil industries have paid TONS of money to keep people locked into gas vehicles.

  Once again, the rich continue to fuck the rest of us.

  Hang on, as somebody who knows enough to be looking into switching to graphene, but not entirely enough to know what AOSP is, what exactly is happening?

  Am I going to fuck myself over? If I do end up switching to a custom rom? Should I just wait on the Linux community to build something better?

  All I want is a working device that isn’t selling all my shit to Mark Zuckerberg

  I have noticed that the search function is very unforgiving. Like, you have to search the exact title, because it will not find a partial name.

  That sucks that a lot of songs didn’t come up. I’ve actually been pleasantly surprised with the content. Personally. A lot of my stuff that I thought was pretty niche I’ve been able to find.

  Are you noticing any specific genres are more difficult than others?

  This reads like “old man yells at clouds”

  Like on one hand, sure, tiktok has accelerated the amount of info/media kids are latching onto. But also, remember street sharks? Remember pogs? Or floam? Like… shits always been like this.

  I use Qobuz! It works well most the time. And it has a huge library. Some things are not as polished as some of the bigger companies. And there’s a lot of Initial setup to get it working…

  That said, I would say it’s a great option. I do wish it had better continuous play options, as sometimes I listen to a playlist, and then it just stops. But that may be part of the learning curve. I’m not really a big “playlists” guy… I’d like to start a radio and have it find similar artists (similar to Pandora 12 years ago) But that doesn’t really seem to be the way companies are going anymore.

  I have several Google mini devices (I know, I know. I’m working on it, but that’s a whole other process) and they don’t really seem to get along with qobuz all the time.

  Overall, I like it, but it still needs work.

  No shit it’s more expensive. The point isn’t to save money, it’s to save the planet.
