    I used Tidal for a bit and quite liked it, though it has quite a few gaps in its library compared to Spotify and YouTube Music. I signed up for Dolby Atmos music, which was hella cool but I blew through all the Dolby Atmos content I wanted to hear before the 30 day trial was up.

    Quality wise, as others have said if you’re using standard Bluetooth SBC it doesn’t matter anyway. If you’ve got decent gear and actually use it then it’s worth paying for Hi-Fi but that’s not most people.

    Free trial though. Can’t go wrong with that.





  • I think it’s okay to keep discussing this because the app situation is very much in flux at the moment. I’m on Jerboa because it’s the best native app I’ve found that plays nice with a folding phone and Samsung DeX. My requirements are simple, but they are niche. I’m keeping an eye on a few other apps though because while Jerboa is great as it is there are improvements to be found.












  • Yeah. I run my own FreshRSS server and use FeedMe to access it. It’s mostly just a bunch of UK newspapers and tech news sites because I realised I was getting all my news from Twitter and I wanted to cut back my use of Twitter. It’s fine. The great thing about getting my news from social media was that I’d follow a load of people with similar interests to me so I’d mostly just see articles that interested me regardless of the source. Now it takes more scrolling to get past the articles I don’t care about to find the ones I want to read. It means I get a broader overview of news that isn’t effectively curated for me, either by other people or by algorithm, but it’s not as engaging. It is the right choice though if you’re looking to see more outside of what you’re usually shown, as you say.
