#AskFedi Anyone know of a good music library manager for Mobile Linux? (esp. Phosh/GNOME)

I like the aesthetic and background playback features of Amberol, but it can't do playlists or scrobble my listens to last.fm. I like the functionality of Lollypop, but it crashes too much and the UI/UX is awful.

Here's my criteria:
- Adaptive for mobile/touch
- Scrobble to last.fm
- Playlists/Artists/Albums
- Background Playback

Also being pretty would be nice.

hi guys from toot from the command line from my computer!

HexChat, an open source IRC client, has released its final version, 2.16.2, due to lack of maintenance, and no one stepping up. All data will be transferred to GitHub. Users can look for alternatives or fork the project if they wish to keep it alive.

What do you guys do for wire stripping? Like patching together the small cables inside computers for fans and such?

I've always used scissors but I suck at it and cut too much sometimes.

The plier kind with holes, I'm afraid I won't choose the right size hole for each cable.

If you mention someone twice in a post (like @nixCraft @nixCraft), that tooth will receive a boost on Mastodon and the mentioned users will receive three reminders via push notification. This is a hidden feature that they don't want you to know.
hi guys from brutaldon on a windows 7 machine with firefox 52!

A question for #Mastodon and the rest of the #Fediverse as it’s slightly bugging me…

Is it generally bad faith to block staff on any online platform, whenever you’re blocking them because they treated you badly or blocking them because they give you bad vibes and don’t want to take any risks?

I often get this image that it is bad faith to block staff regardless of your reasoning because they are “higher” up than the user, so you must absolutely follow all their orders and demands. When it comes down to one staff member running the place however… it gets tricky.

I’ve made this a poll for simple answers with yes and no but if you’re someone who wants to provide a better explanation, feel free to do so in the replies
