Other way around actually. Calling everything a PC was easier to the tech illiterate to sell.
Anyone with a brain used PC, Mac, Amiga, Atari, etc as a platform, otherwise you'd end up buying software (or even hardware) for the wrong platform.

Like imagine mail ordering something from a distributor, saying PC and getting a DOS copy of a game instead of ST.

>Like imagine mail ordering something from a distributor, saying PC and getting a DOS copy of a game instead of ST.
right, that's why the term stuck. because of tech illiterates. they're all PCs, but illiterates (in all subjects) catch on to a certain term for a certain kind of thing, so the retail industry follows. you ask for "PC" you get something for a certain kind of PC because that's what youre expecting.

exactly, but >
What happens if you own the device, but it runs programs out of your control? Like spyware, pup's, malware or intrusive ads?
Is it still a 'personal' computer then? Are you still the 'owner' or has it become a subscription?

Unironic question about Brave's BAT, what can you do with it? Is there any use for it?
>>
>>107533093
The original way that it was billed was that you could earn this crypto and then exchange it for money, which sounds nice. However, when you do the math, and yes, I have done the math, you would need to Interact with 30 advertisements per day every day for a month in order to earn $5. Then you would have to take that $5 to a crypto exchange which supported BAT In order to convert it to an actual legitimate crypto like Bitcoin, which incurs pay service fee. And then there's another service fee to withdraw that as cash or to deposit it onto a credit card or into a bank account.

So no, at the end of the day you can't actually use it for anything because the amount of money that you would get back is so tiny and the amount of such extensive ad viewing you'd have to do to earn it in the first place is insane.

Linux music players are technology. So let me shill the most amazing one that design focused GNOMERs will know to appreciate (KDE users do not reply) (posted from KDE)


the name is


Euphonica (flatpak installed) [MPD client with delusions of grandeur]


it's an MPD client, MPD is a cock to setup that makes no sense whatsoever to have in current year, but THIS is the besst music player client ever made on Lonisx OS +gnu/. I know because I tried all of them, Gappless, Recordbox, Amberol, Vvave(shit), Tauron(autistic and yet not that feature'full), Strawberry(just why?)...

No it doesn't have all the features, but this is the best UX (excluding having to install a worthless suckless-nile music streaming server)

Sayonara and especially Elisia are banned from this thread. THanks and discuss. What music player do you use?

Foobar did this but I can't figure out how to do it in audacious, best i can do is a shortcut to toggle shuffle. Any suggestions?
