I use the FUTO keyboard.
Alternatively gboard

For me (Android) I have used these:

• Finamp
• Default Jellyfin App
• Symfonium

And Symfonium can do many sources and is the moat powerful.
Finamp is neat but couldnt do casting to my soundbar via google cast

Sometimes it just makes sense to have a single team login.
Licensing for instance where each user costs money and not all users need a dedicated account to look at something of which only 1% is of importance to them.

Does you argument also apply to Wikipedia and Musicbrainz?
They are both open (Musicbrainz is even public domain) and you can download the entirety of the database
Both are crowdsourced pieces of knowledge

To a lesser degree, you can also get the data of TMDB with some workarounds (example: developer.themoviedb.org)
So they arent exactly locked into their knowledge vault and can be downloaded daily just in case of a bail/bait and switch

This feels like a shoehorned approach.
IMO the way musicbrainz solves it, is a good approach.

Off all things I don’t want to be monetized, they can monetize my uptime-kuma and *arr alarms whatever they are worth.

They can’t hold it hostage if they are essentially the country.

Discogs is inferior to musicbrainz in terms of information.
To me it’s only value is the market place (which is very good)

Not everything needs to be fediverse.

Anyway, TMDB and TVDB are potential rivals

IONOS and ImpossibleCloud for instance are ones we use.
I think Hetzner and OVH also offer S3 buckets.

There are numerous other vendors with S3 API-compatibility.

Not if you want to validate S3 compatibility for an actual future use case or, * can you imagine*, just for the fun of it.

I think it was !community@instance.tldbut you may need to put it in a a hyperlink markdown.

Reverse proxy

I tried it out while I was at a friends place (streaming remotely from two internet connections).
Even the sync play worked very well (the delay between pressing pause and it executing was about 1-1.5 seconds).
Almost better than watch2gether.

Finally set up yamtrack to get rid of trakt.
Doing a bit of a dual-boot situation with both atm but I’m cautiosly optimistic

And if doing less than 100% legal stuff or have loads of data: None of them

The reason why phones is: I don’t want to carry 50 cards with me when my phone can do it.
The infrastructure for cards was already there. So instead of replacing the infrastructure you replace the medium.

But isnt the Apple/Google way still using NFC?

It feels like mostly Asian countries are likely to use QR-code while most western (NA and (West-)Europe) countries are likely to use NFC based.
At least that’s what I observed with Youtube and my limited traveling.
