I downloaded old iTunes. I'm struck by how much more customizable it is than Apple Music and the rest of it.

My iPod is also 17-year-old. 120GB. Works perfectly. Even got a Bluetooth adapter. No ads, no subscriptions, no tracking. Just a durable, functional device. Enshittification is real.

I just recently decided I will make the existing tech I have work for me even if it means spending hours going through forums to figure out how to get older sh*t that worked way better than newer sh*t. It's incredible how much control over our own purchased products we have lost in 10-15 years.

It annoys me so much I can only sound like I'm exaggerating when I talk about it. I find it f-ed up

Also, yes I know it would probably be better for me to know how to use Linux, but I am actually dogshit at that stuff. Not saying it's a never for me. I just haven't found a way to make it work for me (I'm not as tech-savy as I might seem to some)

@ayoub linux is easier than Windows tbh, especially these days. I have used Linux Mint for many, many years, and it's great. And I'm close to useless with command line stuff. No fuss, just works. #linux
