For some reason I think most people on here are familiar with Douglas Adams.

Thanks for the reply! I hope the question didn't come off as snarky... I find music players, as a genre of software if you may me, fascinating. Since there is always a new one around the corner... Remember XMMS2!? And people still use Winamp 2.xx... It is fun to always see new takes on this problem. I will give it a whirl!

Why would anyone go to a new platform if they didn't know anyone to follow there? I don't see a problem there. I download TikTok and search for SexyDancingDinosaur I heard was on there and press follow.

MPD has built in HTTP streaming. I know at one point it didn't though.

I note that they call it a plugin and also say the purpose of MPD isn't to stream.

>which would basically defeat the point of building on Rockbox firmware.

What is the point of bulding on Rockbox firmware? I love Rockbox myself too so the answer can be "fun" and that is all right.

I haven't tried it myself but I've heard good things about Listenbrainz. Maybe something for you.

Why would anyone use RSS for their notes?

Works for me 6 minutes later. But that must have made you giggle a little!

Sounds like you are talking about the South African flag.

He, or his team, post about the art on instagram. Same with this one. When I first heard about this statue I went there to find it. I guess they can post about any art though but this is how I try to fact check.

>Who owns a potato?

I don't get what this analogy is trying to tell me but I know nothing about potato law. Is this about the Belgian potato surplus?

Are there any emulators on steam? I only remember the chaos that was Dolphin. Maybe its for the fancy controller?

Probably and especially if you include Nintendos own emulators.

I remember reading, back then, about the author byuu/Near going into future updates such as HD Mode7 and widescreen. Found it re-hosted on an odd site here: [1]

It does seem like Super ZSNES in ways picked up these ideas (and torch) and went with them! Rather neat actually! RIP Near.

Thanks for the insight!

Wait... You post selfies on Google Maps? The thought never crossed my mind. What would the purpose be? Sorry I'm probably thick...
