Now that my #Spotify subscription is at its end, I've finally registered with #Tidal. And, frankly, it's underwhelming. Many little things I or my wife got used to with Spotify are nonexistent with Tidal.
For example:
- No means of "picking up where you left" when switching devices
- Can't log in to it using our Onkyo wireless speaker. I know it's an 8-year-old model which hasn't had any firmware updates in the last 3+ years, but it still works well, and Spotify works just fine with it.

Ich habe mich gerade gewundert, warum mein Abo bei #Tidal kein Familienabo ist. Aber weil meine Knalltüten ihre Einladungen nicht angenommen haben, hat Tidal das automatisch zur nächsten Monatsabrechnung wieder auf ein Einzelabo zurückgestuft. Überraschend kundenfreundlich.

I've got a network speaker (a Denon Home 150) that speaks "AirPlay Remote", "AirTunes Remote", "Tidal Connect", "Spotify Connect", "HEOS Audio", and "Qobuz Connect" according to Avahi.

How can I play music on this from Linux?

My music player (Strawberry) doesn't list it or any of those protocols, and I can't set it as an audio device (which is probably a good thing).

"A #tidal farm featuring the world’s most powerful underwater turbines is being built off the coast of #Normandy after winning EU funding.

The NH1 tidal project from Normandie Hydroliennes will use four turbines to turn the Raz Blanchard tidal flow - Europe’s strongest tidal stream - into a source of renewable energy."

cancelled my #spotify subscription. Anyone got some less unethical alternative streaming services for me to turn to? I feel like music streaming is pretty inherently unethical but I do find it convenient.

Right now I'm torn between #deezer and #tidal. I don't care about lossless audio, nor discovery algorithms, just something I can use to listen to albums I don't own.

Bon... Décision est prise de fuir #Spotify.

Reste à choisir une alternative :
- #Deezer : français sur le papier mais l'actionnaire majoritaire est une holding US ; j'y ai déjà un compte gratuit et pris en charge (depuis peu) par #HEOS, un client #linux et un #headless communautaires sont maintenus. Il n'est jamais cité ici, sans avoir trouvé de grosse controverse.

#Tidal : réputé plus éthique (détenu partiellement par des artistes) mais là aussi holding UK-US. Pris en charge par HEOS.
