I've been using noTunes to do this for years, works like a charm: https://github.com/tombonez/noTunes
Also a bit unfortunate that a software like this has to exist in the first place.

Looks nice!
It's getting hard to keep up with all the recent posts on indie web aggregators (a good problem to have!). I've observed that I always get excited about seeing one such tool -> try to make it a habit to visit those aggregators occasionally -> forget about them -> rinse and repeat.
A great execution on the problem of discovery within the blogosphere is Wander, which was posted here a few days ago - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47422759. I discover great, small websites not because I found them in any aggregator's list, but more often via someone whose opinions I trust recommended a particular post to me. Wander executes on that idea rather brilliantly.
I've found myself going to my Wander console[^1] more regularly now and I keep finding great folks to follow.

Do you have any documentation/blog post for this? I would love to do something similar for my own use.

Thank you for that recommendation. Added this 10-hour documentary featuring Milton Friedman to the top of my to-watch list: https://www.freetochoosenetwork.org/programs/free_to_choose/...

I've been using Stirling-PDF as my go-to solution for any pdf needs and have never needed any other service. Open source gold standard for any pdf needs: https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF

I loved this book, and honestly it's one of the best books I read in the past decade. There does exist an eBook, because I read it on Kindle and I remember I used to wonder how amazing it would be to read it in hard copy. Well, it's been almost 3 years now - time for a re-read in Hardcover!

> The major DEs like KDE and Gnome3 are full of exploits and memory leaks.
Can you give any supporting evidence for this?

Yandex.com does all that.

OSM is better than GMaps?
I hate having to go to Google for everything as much as the next guy, but I just can't bring myself to use OSM over Google Maps. GMpas are just.. better in every case.

Like the majority of the people here, I use Facebook sparingly, but I constantly need to go back there because of numerous groups that I follow. Is there any way to sideline the infamous "news feed" and instead curate a manual feed containing only group posts?
