No worries! I never found a true alternative to MusicBee, and there are several outdated tutorials about getting it run on Wine that technically work but leave you with a buggy app. The method I showed you works perfectly.

MusicBee works perfectly via Wine, and it’s a major part of my digital library. Without MusicBee my MP3 player would be worth 1/10 for me.
But you can’t just take the installer and double click it, you need to follow these steps (naturally replace the directories):
Install Wine Staging and Winetricks
Create prefix for MusicBee and .NET
Bash:
WINEPREFIX=/home/kadupse/Wine/MusicBee/ wineboot –initInstall .NET 4.0 and corefonts
Bash:
WINEPREFIX=/home/kadupse/Wine/MusicBee/ winetricks --force dotnet40 corefontsInstall xmllite and gdiplus
Bash:
WINEPREFIX=/home/kadupse/Wine/MusicBee/ winetricks xmllite gdiplusSet Wine to Windows 7 compatibility mode
Bash:
WINEPREFIX=/home/kadupse/Wine/MusicBee/ winetricks win7Install .NET 4.8
Bash:
WINEPREFIX=/home/kadupse/Wine/MusicBee/ wine $HOME/Downloads/ndp48-x86-x64-allos-enu.exe /qInstall Music Bee
Bash:
WINEPREFIX=/home/kadupse/Wine/MusicBee/ wine $HOME/Downloads/MusicBeeSetup_3_6.exeDownloads needed:
This specific version of the .NET Framework installerYou might see warnings about WoW64 mode, experimental flags, etc, just ignore them and keep going and MusicBee will work.
I’ve generally found gnome users just use it
lol
People love complaining about some random obscure feature only they and 4 others use being “”“hidden”“” in Dolphin which usually just means it’s not a default button taking up half the UI, but can be added in ten seconds by using the toolbar customization features.
Okular is the best PDF software for Windows, beating Adobe’s own solution.

To me it’s not even about jobs. It’s about the interest in the art… why the fuck would I care about a script written by AI and acted by AI? What’s even the point?
If everything is artificially generated to be mildly pleasing, just fucking electrically stimulate my dopamine receptors directly, what’s even the goal here? See a few pixels move on my screen?
The whole humanity thing was work to survive so we can make the things only humans can make: wonders, art, tell stories, play sports… why would I give a shit about a computer’s interpretation of that?
No AI star got any “agency interest” these headlines are purposelly crafted to create the impression that there was interest. This is free publicity for an AI avatar nobody gives a shit about.
Ah fuck, I’ve read your comment so now the Nintendo lawyers are knocking on my door
openWRT is fantastic and does indeed give you full control over your router… but not your modem. Modems are a complete mess of patents and proprietary software that nobody can control but a select number of companies.

That’s kinda the thing though, using modern codecs there’s no way you’ll get anywhere close to facing this issue. A song encoded with Opus at higher than necessary quality is 2.5 MBs on average - that’s over 20 thousand songs in 50 GB, not even half of your total storage gets you 50 days of continuous audio.

The only Organic Maps controversy I’m aware of was the presence of certain closed-source elements on what they claim to be a FOSS app, and that the main developer refused to open up, then partially did, then backtracked and never fully released.
Maybe that’s what that user is referring to? Not sure.
Even if you fixed the issue with drivers…
…your modem runs it’s own firmware with a lot of extremely shady behavior, and you can’t touch that regardless of which OS you install. Even your SIM card can arbitrarily execute Java applets and fetch from the network without your command, but at least it’s somewhat contained. Your modem though, it can do a lot without your control and people like Qualcomm have been caught doing nasty stuff with it (plus, of course, giving the US the data whenever they ask for it).
This is why people like Stallman and Snowden often talk about teaching users how to use libre software on their computers, but rather than pushing for the same with smartphones, they tell you to not touch these at all instead. They’re fundamentally anti-privacy devices, built this way.
Of course I carry one, it’s fairly hard to live without a phone nowadays, but we must be aware of the impossibility of fully containing the data harvesting they do.
The Homebrew Channel for LG WebOS is got three pieces of absolutely essential software:
A YouTube app modified with built in ad blocking and sponsor blocking. The Jellyfin app. The Moonlight app.
With these three plus the toggle to block system updates your TV gets 1000% better for free.
You’d be correct most of the time, but this is Israel we are talking about. They know there won’t be any consequences because claiming they did something wrong must mean you’re a nazi, and even if you get over that, daddy USA is there to protect them anyway.
Israel could livestream a soldier killing Greta and they would face no consequences whatsoever.
