17+ years for me. November would be 18. Since the exodus, Reddit looks like a shadow of itself, but that could be that I only see the frontpage now. What a shame.
You could use foobar2000 with “Album Art Grid View”
Edit: Ah, freeware (BSD license) but not open source.
Cory Doctorow bookends my use of reddit. About 20 years ago I started to read him at boingboing, where I learned about del.icio.us (he had an obsession with “folksonomy”, or organization by user-created tags), the social bookmarking site. From there I learned of reddit and made an account soon after that was possible (it was just the frontpage for a bit). That was 5 Nov 2005, and while I thought I would stay until or after my account was old enough to vote in the US, I’ve let it go. I was user #497, same username as here. Finally, Cory D’s concept of enshittification has found it’s apotheosis, and it’s a bittersweet goodbye for me.
Thanks for reading. Keep it human.
Yep, that one and others. Thanks for helping me troubleshoot. I guess I’m moving to an instance that lets me control the content I can access. Much appreciated
This may be a silly reason, but I’m unable to easily view communities from other federated instances. I wonder if it’s just NSFW content? A lot of the more mature content is basically unavailable (I’m registered to sopuli.xyz), which is essentially any WTF or other content with warnings. I may be doing this wrong but I don’t like having my content throttled, even unintentionally.
I’ve run Zorin for about a year for my 13yo’s gaming machine. Most games are through Steam w/ Proton, and almost nothing has been impossible to run. (Except Roblox so f Roblox I guess)
