DDG tracks its users? Is there any definitive proof of this?

Why’s that? Asking as a Firefox user.

I agree. I’m not making an argument that they shouldn’t exist. If someone wants a single-gender/-sex community, that’s fine by me. 👍

those things are not equivalent.

If by “those things” you mean a men’s club and a women’s club, that’s kind of my whole point. They should be considered the same but are not. Given men’s history of women’s oppression, there’s a lot we can’t do without the assumption of possibly being oppressive or sexist. Sometimes it’s hard being a man of one of the first generations in the starting centuries of women’s liberation (if it will even ever conclude).

Not as hard as women have had it of course, but if we want equality for all, that means we have to act the part, from both sides. 🙂

What the hell is a wrecker?

I’m not interested in a men’s only club. How very boring. What would we talk about that women wouldn’t be able to join in on the conversation? I never understood that. Women’s perspectives are valuable, just as any person’s perspective. 👍

The major point isn’t whether or not it’s possible to create it. The major point was that it would be considered sexist, I imagine. Or at the very least a little cringe.

Society doesn’t allow women? And openly scolds them for participating? I dunno. It’s “similar”? I guess? Anyway, the other person makes a lot of the points I would make too so I’ll let y’all hash that out amongst yourselves.

Also I wonder how it would look if we made a Men’s Club community where only men were allowed and women were openly mob-scolded for participating. Would probably be considered a pretty sexist environment.

You’re not being annoying as a person ☺️🫂 I just mean that there’s a lot of posting with like a link to the release page of a project in GitHub and the title just says “Software X version Y released” and no more info.

Sometimes it can be really difficult to understand what the software is or why we should be interested in it, or even this release in particular.

But I believe you at least posted what you found interesting about this release, in the description. 👍 That’s great! I didn’t mean you were the one release dumping, I just meant it’s annoying when it does happen. 😁

Take care!

Surely that’s the same product being referenced by this project? The API is being used by this project, to interact with Subsonic, the media server. No?

I’m assuming this: https://www.subsonic.org/pages/index.jsp

Release dumping is a real issue on Lemmy. It’s quite annoying. But at least this info was readily available in the README.

Tempus is an open-source and lightweight music client for Subsonic, designed and built natively for Android.

[In] my experience

Anecdotal evidence might be uplifting but, alas, not really general proof. But I’m really glad you found a way to get people to switch! I see your persistence and it’s impressive. ✊

You’re probably right. Even more to my point! People don’t do research, in general. 😩

[Most] people will actually do their research when they see it and install it initially.

Will they though? Do you know most people? I doubt most people will do research. I think a large share of Lemmers will do the research. But we can be a different kind of people in certain aspects.

Why does it need to be two types? Can’t I have 2 spinning?

What 2 different media types are you using for the “2” part?

Yeah that sounds about right
