  • Lollypop is actually a GTK3 app (it looks pretty dated on my mostly GKT4 GNOME setup) and it’s imo still the best GNOME music app. I’m honestly suprised they say Lollypop’s UX sucks but then praise RecordBox’s because I can’t stand RecordBox (why make me double click to play a song* and don’t get me started on the Artist+Album view). Also surprised Gapless didn’t get mentioned here, I think this is actually pretty decent though its queue system could use work.

    *The dev says this choice is so you can select songs and instead you should use the little play button next on the right side of all playable entries.

  • We’re hosted in Germany, but that doesn’t actually matter as the admins are physically in the UK so Ofcom fines are actually a worry. I need to do another review (yay), but I’m pretty sure we don’t have to do any age verification. We do have to assume all our users are children though, as we can only say we don’t if we do ‘highly effective age verification’* of our users, and we do host content that is ‘likely to appeal to children’, but I don’t believe we host anything that would need to be gatekept from children. We actively block NSFW content and as far as I’m aware there isn’t a suicide encouragement or terrorist recruitment community on Lemmy. There are maybe some things that I may need to be changed/patch in Lemmy (e.g. letting users lock their own posts), or making some safety tools (one I want to work on is doing perceptual hashing of images embedded in markdown as current tools only work on post links), but I don’t think complying is necessary an issue for us. I’m not a lawyer though and that’s just my understanding, we could be fucked.

    * This entire ‘force every website to keep a separate database of users adult status’ is so stupid and I swear it only works like this because of lobbying from companies like Yoti. PornHub is right that it should be device based, but these laws are only using children as a crutch. It’s implemented like this because certain parts of the British establishment find porn icky and are hoping by making it more invasive to access that you’ll stop watching it. Of course, all this is going to do is push people to sites that don’t follow the law so host more extreme content.
