Google pays $45 billion a year for contracts to lock out rivals, signing deals with “Apple, LG, Motorola, and Samsung; major U.S. wireless carriers such as AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon; and browser developers such as Mozilla, Opera, and UCWeb— to secure default status for its general search engine and, in many cases, to specifically prohibit Google’s counterparties from dealing with Google’s competitors.

Competition is just a click (and $45,000,000,000) away.

Hello! Would you ever consider bringing back different post types, especially audio? I appreciate that audio posts now display the artist, song title, and album name, but unfortunately newer audio posts don’t play in Tumblr-based music players like egoisticalgoat.de or robinpx.github.io/boombox because they’re read as text posts. Thank you for reading!

Answer: Hey there, @stepintomusic!

Sadly, the answer here is no. We’ve been moving away from legacy post types and towards the Neue Post Format—a format that allows multiple types of media in the same post—for many years. The new features available in NPF basically guarantee that we won’t ever switch back to the legacy format.

(If you’re interested in peeking behind the scenes here, there are a few posts about NPF over at @engineering.)

Now, to get into the meat of the issue. While it would be amazing if we could support every third-party tool forever, the reality is that we can’t. We’re a surprisingly small team to begin with, and even if we weren’t, that support would come at a cost.

To start, there’s the development tax. Now, would it have been cool to ensure all third-party tools (and all custom themes) worked 100% perfectly with posts stored as NPF before releasing NPF to the public? Yeah, it would have been… for third-party tools and custom themes. For us, it would have meant delaying NPF (and all the features it brings with it) for months, possibly years. Imagine a 2023 where Tumblr still doesn’t have polls: that’s the alternate future we’re talking about here.

And then, there’s our maintenance tax. The engine that powers Tumblr themes is already incredibly complicated—complicated to the point that we’re already finding it difficult to maintain and add things like, as you mentioned, NPF audio metadata. If, every time we found some third-party tool that doesn’t play nice with the latest changes, we tried to make an affordance for it… the engine would just become even more complex. And it would do so quickly, and complex to the point of being impossible to keep up with as a maintainer.

There’s a great article here by a former Mozilla developer about the pitfalls of prioritizing a third-party ecosystem over your own software. Did you know that Firefox was essentially a single-threaded application until 2018? This meant it would still visually lock up when saving files to disk, or collecting crash data. Chrome launched in 2008 and was multiprocess from the start. But it took Firefox ten years to catch up because supporting all existing third-party add-ons was seen as necessary. (Spoiler alert: in the end, they had to drop support for those add-ons anyway.)

My own recommendation around third-party software like this is: get in contact with its developer! If something in their software isn’t working, there’s nobody more qualified to update it. (Or, if they’ve abandoned the project but had made it open-source, maybe someone else could step up to maintain it. Maybe you! You never know until you try.)

I talked about the maintenance tax from the first-party side, but let’s talk about it from the third-party side, too. As a theme author and add-on developer myself, I have long accepted that the cost of maintaining these things can never be zero. When your software interacts with an online service, and that online service is being actively maintained, your software also needs to be maintained.

I hope all this has been enlightening! Thanks for your question, and please, have a great day.

Detective Beebo: Night at the Mansion Endings 9/10 spoilers! If you have not played please do. It is free and all the endings can be obtained is 5-6 hours and it is very good!!!

Monster Beebo AU!!!!!

I have many ideas for this but didn't feel like drawing every single one, they can mix and match however one chooses. I do not want a monopoly on this au. I actively want the opposite. (pleasepleasepleaseplease take this idea and innovate i want to see more pleasepleasepleaseplease)

PREMISE

So we start with ending 9 or 10. Beebo becomes house.

His Purpose? Keep Ángel safe, protected, happy.

Whether it's instantly or after a bit, there's a realization that though keeping Ángel permanently inside the boundaries of the house will keep him safe, he won't be happy.

Solution? Instead of bringing Ángel to the house, bring the house to Ángel!

The magic and purpose of the house condenses and mutates Beebo into The Creature!!! Now Beebo can protect Ángel no matter where he goes :))))

The rest of the House of Vera is normal non-haunted house now.

The Heart is where Beebo's human heart used to be. Locked up safely in a little compartment. It is the picture of Ángel and Beebo. :)

APPEARANCE:

Window eyes that glow

Burnt Clothing

Disheveled, especially the hair

Patches of skin covered by plank/burnt wood texture

Hat made of roof

Chain of pocket watch connects to body maybe

BEHAVIOR

Beebo is still Beebo, he is just Also A Haunted House Molded Into The Shape Of A Person.

Very protective and clingy, 99% to Ángel, but still a little bit for anyone else he considers a friend.

Can Eat/Drink/Sleep/Breath, but does not need to. (Unless you want to do an angst of some sort where Beebo is very tired but refuses to sleep because he must protect)

No blinking, eye lights turn of when asleep.

Movements are very stiff. Can stay completely still in one spot for hours.

Facial expressions even moreso. Take the autism-unreadable-expression-face and crank it up to 100/10.

Either mostly non-verbal, or completely mute and can only speak by remotely turning on nearby televisions or radios and playing clips of other people talking. (Trope I love)

Any behaviors that cats, rabbits, or your personal favorite animal has. Purring? Hissing? Growling? Sure! Thumping feet to express annoyance or danger? Of course! (see Abilities)

Any animal behavior can also be explained by autism. My own type of autism includes frequent mimicry of behaviors done by both other people and by animals

ABILITIES

Some amount of time manipulation. Could be limited to Ángel. Could be a specific surrounding radius, or whatever building they are currently in. Memories could be anything. Only Beebo remembers, only Ángel, everyone affected, Beebo chooses, etc.

Possibly additional healing ability for Ángel

Some measure of invulnerability. Punching or shooting a house is unlikely to harm the house as a whole all that significantly.

Teleporting or intangibility or meld-with-building-ability. Gotta stay close to wherever Ángel is to be able to protect

Telepathic/Empathetic connection to Ángel. If he feels pain, Beebo knows, if he feels mildly unhappy with the scenario, Beebo knows. Could also include full on two-way telepathy if one desires

Maybe mind manipulation to a degree. In ending 10 Ángel says something like "Almost like its begging me to live here!" Beebo could be able to influence Ángel's subconscious. Definitely up to the individual writer if they're comfortable though.

Many tiny little miscellaneous house abilities. Such as turning on and off appliances connected to a building's power (see behavior)

NON-NEGOTIABLE: Has a connection to cats (Mozilla specifically) and they are frend. Same with rabbits because Vivi-assigned fursona.

Apple phones spy on literally everything you do, they're not actually very powerful but use a series of tricks to make you think they run faster than they do, and lock you into apps that apple approves of, approval based on whether it interferes with their bullshit or replicates functions they want to spy on, you ultimately have no control of your data or your experience. Fighting apple in the marketplace *should* have been trivial. Just point out what they were doing and introduce a device without all that bullshit.

And it was impossible.

Because of the demands of investors, no one would make a phone without all the bullshit. Android was better at allowing you to control your own experience, but the data collection continued just the same. To create a truly consumer centered experience and ownership requires jailbreaking your device and depending on yet another company to maintain an architecture that you can replace the original with that, by necessity, can't be tailored specifically to your device. There's too many, and manufacturers are shifty about specs. And there's the possibility of bricking the device. So you're out the expensive cost with nothing to show for it and no recourse. Androids only better features ended up being better tech, like the heartbeat sensors and cameras, wireless charging that kind of thing, and being relatively open source. They still controlled the app store that was most accessible and blocked external app installation by default. Apple just had to ride it out and saw no real "competition" because the difficulty of leaving the apple sphere was higher than the perceived positives. Most people just want a phone and text machine with a game or two on it that was popular and bland enough to be on the app store. And the surveillance is mostly unobtrusive, you don't notice it happening so you don't care. Microsoft created another os, and couldn't resist making it just as shitty as their computer os, but smaller. I'm ignoring them for the rest of this post.

Android is better (better, not perfect) in almost every innumerable way than Apple. But they could never overcome Apple because their investors demanded they keep up everything that was bad about Apple, because revenue. If someone made an os and functional device that just did the things it was expected to do without any of the bullshit, I imagine it would wreck both of their buttholes, minus a dedicated fan base who will never switch regardless. I have no idea who remains who *could* do that tho, beyond Mozilla. I haven't heard anything about a Firefox os. I'd be a first adopter so fast.

[autolenaphilia]

My adventures in Linux gaming.

I switched OS from Windows 10 to Linux Mint a few days ago. And it's gone great so far. Mint is a very beginner and user-friendly distribution, and I eased into it pretty much immediately. My main problem was the shitty BIOS firmware on this computer, and that's not Linux's fault. (I had to tinker with the settings, changing the boot order, to allow the computer to boot Linux from a USB stick I had put it on.)

For most things I use a computer for, writing, surfing the internet, watching movies, linux is at least equal to Windows, if not better. You are free of the tracking and bloatware and other Microsoft fuckery. Most programs I use daily like Libreoffice, Mozilla Firefox, and VLC media player all have Linux versions equal to the Windows versions.

The thing is, I play video games on this computer. It's a weak laptop, so I mostly play older games and some indies. So I've play a lot of old point-and-click adventures (plus some modern less-demanding games in that genre), and if I play action games, they're usually from the 90s or early 00s.

I'm also a big opponent of DRM and very pro-games preservation. It's because of my opposition to things like DRM and proprietary software that I switched to an open source OS like Linux from WIndows.

And with my tastes in games and those opinions, it's no surprise I'm into GOG, a digital sales platform focused on old games and in which all the games are without drm. GOG and Itch.io are the two game storefronts which allow you to actually own the games you paid money for. There are some drm-free games on Steam, but the majority are locked-down with drm in various ways (pcgamingwiki claims "979 out of 40,764 games in total" games on steam are drm-free). And you never get drm-free installers like GOG or Itch provides.

I own almost 600 games on GOG, most of them cheap and old games I grabbed on sale. And I do recommend buying games there, overall. Great selection of older classic titles, and you actually get to own copies of the games you buy. You can easily download and back the installers up on an external hard drive. I'm pro-piracy in general, but buying a game on gog is actually an honest transaction, you pay money and you get a copy of the product you get to keep, increasingly a rarity in today's games and media market.

So, GOG is great at making me pay money for media. There is one problem though, they are not great at Linux compatibility. The problem with gaming on Linux is that most games are developed only for Windows. You need something like the compatibility layer Wine to play most games on a linux computer.

And GOG provide Linux versions of games, including installers, if the developer has made one, but they do almost nothing themselves. GOG does have a launcher, GOG galaxy, and there is only a windows version.

Valve and Steam however, is good at supporting Linux. Steam's launcher does have a Linux version, and not only that, it has the tool Proton built in to make windows games compatible with Linux. Proton relies on existing software like Wine, but is a very convenient way to use those tools. The goal is "make playing Windows games on Linux as simple as hitting the Play button within Steam." It's not quite there yet for every game, you still have to do some tinkering with many of them, but it works reasonably well.

So Valve and Steam has been good for playing games on Linux. Proton is very convenient, and that's a word that is rarer than it should be in the context of gaming on linux. And I can't argue with that. I do have a few Steam games (mostly games that are not available on GOG that I really wanted to play), and one of them, Max Payne, works better with Proton on Linux than it did on Windows 10.

Still, Valve's support for Linux is not out of some highminded support for free software. If it were, they wouldn't sell games with drm, or have their own drm with their launcher. The reason Valve has put so much money and effort into supporting Linux gaming is because they have their own distro, SteamOS, which they use to run their own hardware. They first tried it with the unsuccesful Steam machine and more success recently with the Steam Deck. Valve's support for Linux games compatibility is entirely adjunct on their desire to make money selling their own hardware. It's like all corporate decisions entirely mercenary and profit-orientated in character. They support Linux, but undermine with drm the very values Linux rest upon.

And I can't be too harsh on GOG not supporting LInux more than they do. CD Project is not a good company (the reports of crunch during the development of Cyberpunk 2077 prove that), but GOG is as honest a business you get in the gaming industry. And it's not a very profitable business, and they are not looking to break into hardware using Linux, so it's understandable you don't see a lot of investment by GOG into a small market like linux.

And they are things outside of Proton you can use for gaming on Linux. There is Lutris, which functions similarly to Proton, it's a way of making using tools like Wine more convenient, and can function as a game launcher, but it is not limited to Steam. And for the old point-and-click adventures, there is still Scummvm (my beloved), which has a linux version. My gog catalogue remains easily playable, even without windows.

I have caused myself some trouble on the gaming front to break free of Microsoft, but not as much trouble as I feared. And I don't have to rely on Steam's drmed Linux support either.

FoSCoS Login Issues & How to Resolve Them Quickly

FoSCoS is an online platform created by FSSAI for food business registration, licensing approval, and regulatory compliance. The introduction of FoSCoS has made food safety procedures more efficient resulting in less complexity for businesses to follow FSSAI requirements.

Users frequently face login issues on FoSCoS, preventing them from managing their compliance tasks efficiently. This guide helps users understand common FoSCoS login issues and provides solutions to ensure uninterrupted food safety compliance.

Common FoSCoS Login Issues and Their Fixes

1. Incorrect Username or Password

Incorrect entry of username or password stands as the main cause that leads to login failure on the FoSCoS portal. Login failures often result from typographical errors, forgotten passwords, or case-sensitive mismatches in usernames and passwords. The strict login rules enforced by the system will deny access to your account when you make any slight error while entering your user information.

Solution:

Double-check your username and password for typos.

Ensure the Caps Lock key is off, as passwords are case-sensitive.

If you forgot your password, use the ‘Forgot Password’ option to reset it.

2. Forgot Username or Password

It becomes annoying to forget your password and username when you desperately need FoSCoS login access for compliance tasks. Incorrect credentials prevent access to essential FSSAI tasks such as registration, licensing, and renewal. You can easily recover your account access through following the correct recovery steps.

Solution:

Click on the ‘Forgot Password’ link on the login page.

Enter your registered email ID or mobile number to receive a reset link.

Follow the instructions in the email or SMS to create a new password.

If you have forgotten your username, check your email for previous FoSCoS registration confirmations, which may contain your login details.

3. Account Locked Due to Multiple Failed Attempts

FoSCoS accounts are secured with protocols designed to prevent unauthorized access. The system will lock your account for a period when multiple failed log-in attempts occur to protect it from potential hacking threats or suspect activities. The lockout system stops unauthorized users from entering platforms by forcing password entry multiple times without success.

Solution:

Wait for 15-30 minutes and try logging in again.

Reset your password using the ‘Forgot Password’ option.

If the issue persists, contact FoSCoS support for account recovery.

4. Server Downtime or Technical Glitches

The FoSCoS portal experiences technical problems when numerous users concurrently use its system. Such conditions result in delayed system responses and blocked access or complete website shutdown periods. The platform experiences performance interruptions when maintenance occurs or when servers encounter unexpected crashes. The same issue happens with software updates and regular system maintenance tasks.

Solution:

Check if the FoSCoS website is down by visiting https://foscos.fssai.gov.in.

Clear your browser cache and cookies and try again.

Try logging in from a different browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Edge) or another device.

If it’s a server issue, wait for some time and try again later.

5. Browser Compatibility Issues

The FoSCoS portal operates with current browser software while developers aim to deliver steady updates for new functionalities along with security improvements. When using a browser version that is not up-to-date you might experience login problems and subpar user experience because the portal does not support all of its latest features. Users of outdated browsers might experience two issues: the portal displays incorrectly and several features refuse to operate properly.

Solution:

Use an updated version of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Edge.

Disable browser extensions that might interfere with login.

Try accessing the portal in Incognito Mode.

6. Slow or Unstable Internet Connection

Web portal users experience login issues and timeouts and experience incomplete page loading when they have either a slow or unstable internet connection while trying to access the FoSCoS portal. Large files and sophisticated web features will not load properly due to the need for strong and fast connection speeds. Your ability to access FSSAI registration as well as licensing and compliance becomes restricted when your internet connection strength drops.

Solution:

Check your internet connection speed.

Restart your router or switch to a different network.

Avoid using public or unsecured Wi-Fi networks, as they may cause connection issues.

7. Incorrect Captcha Entry

The FoSCoS portal enforces captcha verification procedures to verify human users attempted to log in rather than automated bots. These captchas frequently create reading obstacles through their warped or superimposed characters. You will be blocked from accessing the portal when you enter the captcha code incorrectly even if your entered username and password match the system.

Solution:

Carefully type the captcha code exactly as shown.

If the captcha is unclear, refresh the page to generate a new one.

8. Expired FSSAI License Leading to Login Issues

Users with an expired or inactive FSSAI license may face restrictions on certain portal functions but can still log in. The FoSCoS platform demands an existing and valid FSSAI license for users to perform essential activities which encompass account registration and licensing in addition to compliance checks and document submission. Your FSSAI license status determines your portal access through the portal since it validates any actions which need a current license.

Solution:

Check your license validity and renew it if necessary.

Contact FoSCoS customer support for assistance.

9. Unverified Email or Mobile Number

Users must verify their email address and mobile number at registration for FoSCoS to ensure proper contact during important updates and verification processes and compliance sendings. Undisclosed email and mobile number verification will result in login restrictions that block access to your account along with tasks like license renewal and compliance submissions.

Solution:

Check your email inbox and SMS for a verification link or OTP.

If you haven’t received any verification message, request a resend verification link option.

10. Session Timeout Due to Inactivity

A built-in session timeout protection system in FoSCoS protects user accounts against unauthorized access. System logging out occurs when no account activity happens for specific periods for security purposes. The session timeout feature protects sensitive data but may disrupt users if they remain inactive for a long period.

Solution:

Avoid long periods of inactivity while logged into your account.

If you are logged out, refresh the page and log in again.

How to Contact FoSCoS Support for Login Issues

If you have tried all the solutions and still cannot log in, you should contact FoSCoS support for assistance.

FoSCoS Helpdesk Contact Details:

FoSCoS Official Website: https://foscos.fssai.gov.in

Email Support: helpdesk-foscos@fssai.gov.in

Customer Care Number: 1800-112-100 (Toll-Free)

Live Chat Support: Available on the FoSCoS website

Conclusion

Accessing the FoSCoS login page can be frustrating, as users rely on the system for license renewals and compliance submissions. Simple solutions address most problems during FoSCOs login and include password resets and testing of internet connection stability alongside updated browser usage. Contact FoSCoS support for immediate help when your problem continues to exist according to The Legal Dost.

Following simple troubleshooting steps can help ensure uninterrupted access to FoSCoS and compliance with FSSAI regulations. The Legal Dost provides legal assistance for all your needs connected to FSSAI registration and compliance processes.

What Makes The Gem Portal Login Secure and User Friendly?

1. It should be safe to get into GreM.

When you log in, be careful:

Some information about your sales and business may be hidden.

You can't sign in until you buy something. Some people don't like it. To protect people's privacy, it keeps a close eye on them. People are more likely to join if they trust each other.

2. Things you can do to keep your GeM Portal account safe

a) Looking at an item (MFA)

These are the things that GeM users have to show about themselves:

Name and key of someone.

You should still be able to use the phone number or email address you used to make the account.

This card says that you work for the government.

You can feel better about the things you buy if you use a digital signing certificate (DSC) and e-sign.

b) A place to keep coins safe

People who go to the website need to have strong passwords. For them to work, they need numbers, letters (big and small), and other icons. Here's how to keep the keys safe. Roles (RBAC) decide what people in this case can see. When you buy, own, or are in charge, you can do different things. Because of this, there aren't many safety risks.

d) Captcha and other security measures are used to keep hackers out.

Cryptographic key exchange (CAPTCHA) makes sure that only real people can log in. Everything will be safe if you use Security Layer (SSL). Use SSL to protect your information when you pay or sign in to the GeM page. If you keep this a secret, only the right people will be able to see it. This will protect your privacy.

f) Automatic Logout When Not Used

GeM logs people out right away if they don't do anything within a certain amount of time. The person is less likely to let someone else in without getting out first. The word "DSC" in English means "digital signing certificate." We're going to look at this. GeM checks with DSC to make sure the information is right and can't be changed before doing business or signing important papers.

(h) A lot of moving and checking

The GeM page's security is checked often to make sure it follows the most current rules.

3. Parts of the GeM Portal that are simple to use Type in your password.

GeM works hard to make signing in quick and easy, even though safety is very important.

1) Single Sign-On (SSO) is a service People who use SSO only have to log in once to get to a lot of services. They don't need to type their passwords over and over. In this way, the process goes better. Making the sign up process easy.

2) IDs based on Aadhaar make it easy for people who buy from the government to sign up. People who want to sell can quickly sign up with their PAN. The place where laws start Check what you think you know about a business.

3) A simple look that gadgets can handle GeM login works on phones and computers, so it's easy for people to join.

4) More than one language to talk to each other if you know more than one language, you can use the page.

5) Forgot your email address? Get it with an OTP. People can quickly change their passwords because it's easy to get back in.

6) It's easy for many computers to use. That lets you use GeM from anywhere. It works on Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Edge on Windows PCs.

7) Help with bugs and customer service People who can't join can get help from other users or the help line. It takes place every day. A lot of people come in after a long time.

4. Common Login Issues and Troubleshooting

Q1: I have a hard time remembering my GeM pin. How can I get it to work again?

Solution: When you click "Forgot Password," enter your registered email address or phone number. Then, to make a new password, follow the steps for OTP proof.

Q2: I tried to log in several times but failed, so my account is now locked. What should I do?

Solution: Your account could be locked if you kept typing in the wrong password. You have 15 minutes to either try again or use an OTP to change your password.

Q3: The OTP won't go to the number I gave you, right? What should I do?

Solution: Make sure the number on your smart phone is correct. Also, check your trash or junk box if you used an email OTP. To stop it, ask GeM for help.

Q4: Easy to change the email address or phone number I signed up for GeM with.

When you log in, you can change your picture. You might need to use an OTP to confirm the changes for safety reasons.

Q5: When I try to sign in, I see "Session Expired."

You might not have done anything or your plans might have changed. There are two ways to log in again: clear your cookies or start over with the page.

People who work for the Indian government, public sector units (PSUs), and autonomous bodies can buy and sell things and services online through the Government e-Marketplace (GeM).

How to Get into the GeM Portal

People who buy from the government GeM can only be used to buy things for the government. People from the following groups can buy:

Departments of the Centre and the State Government

Government-run businesses

The government and groups that work alone

Schools, colleges, and study groups

Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs)

Municipal Corporations and Government-Linked Organizations

If you work for the government, you have to use either your official email address or an ID that is based on Aadhaar to sign up.

2. Sellers and Service Providers

A lot of different types of businesses can join GeM to sell or provide services.

Producers and traders are the people who make or sell things that the government buys a lot.

MSMEs: These are tiny, small, or medium-sized businesses. Because they follow certain rules, MSMEs can buy things from the government more easily.

New businesses: Through the Start-up India program, well-known new businesses can join GeM.

An OEM is a company that makes something for the first time. They sell things that have their own brand name or patent on them.

The people who work for service providers do a lot of different work, such as IT support, human resources, coaching, transportation, building management, and plenty more.

Groups for men, hobby shops, and self-help groups (SHGs): People who live in the country and run craft shops can also get help from GeM.

3. Not having the chance to sign up

They might not be able to join the program if they don't meet the GeM compliance standards, if they don't have a recent GST registration (except for certain categories that are exempt), or if they fail verification. A company that the government has banned also can't join.

Conclusion:

It's safe and easy for anyone to log in to GeM online. The site has strong protection, digital signatures, automatic proof, and more than one way to prove who you are. This keeps bad people out. SSO, or secure one-sign-on, can be used in more than one language. It's easy to use the new one. Business and the government can use it this way. As long as you follow the rules, GeM is still a safe place to shop or do business. It's getting better. GeM makes it easy, quick, and safe for everyone to do business. GeM changes the way India gets things because it makes it easy for the government and public companies to do business together. No matter if they work for the government, a PSU, an MSME, a maker, or a service provider, GeM makes it easy and safe to buy things. If you meet the requirements and sign up for GeM, you can work for the government in many ways. For more details visit : https://bidhelp.co/

YouTube Music Desktop: A Comprehensive Guide to Enjoying Music on Your Computer

In the age of digital music streaming, YouTube Music has quickly become one of the most popular platforms for music lovers around the world. With a vast catalog of songs, music videos, live performances, remixes, and much more, YouTube Music offers an exceptional listening experience. However, while it’s designed for mobile devices, many users prefer to access it from their desktops for a richer, more immersive experience. In this article, we’ll explore the best ways to enjoy yt music desktop and take full advantage of its features, even without a dedicated desktop app.

What is YouTube Music?

YouTube Music is a music streaming service launched by Google in 2015 as part of its broader YouTube platform. The service aims to provide users with a tailored music experience, offering a mix of official songs, live performances, music videos, remixes, covers, and even user-generated content.

YouTube Music is available in two versions: the free tier and the YouTube Music Premium subscription. The free tier is supported by ads, and you must be connected to the internet to stream music. YouTube Music Premium, on the other hand, offers additional benefits such as:

Ad-free listening

Offline playback

Background play (allows music to continue playing while using other apps or when your phone is locked)

YouTube Music Premium also offers a seamless integration with the broader YouTube platform, allowing you to enjoy videos alongside music, something that other music streaming services often don’t offer.

Why Use YouTube Music on Your Desktop?

While YouTube Music is primarily designed for mobile devices, there are several benefits to accessing it on your desktop computer:

Larger Screen: A desktop computer provides a larger screen than your mobile phone, which makes browsing, discovering new music, and watching music videos more enjoyable.

Better Sound Quality: Listening to music through high-quality speakers or a better sound system connected to your computer can elevate the listening experience, especially for audiophiles.

Better Multitasking: Having YouTube Music open on your desktop allows you to easily multitask. You can work, browse the web, or chat with friends while your music continues playing in the background.

Improved Interface: Using a desktop browser allows for a more fluid, wide-screen interface, which is perfect for discovering music, curating playlists, and navigating through YouTube Music’s massive library.

Music Videos: One of the standout features of YouTube Music is its integration with YouTube’s video library, allowing users to watch music videos, live concerts, and remixes all in one place. On a larger screen, this experience becomes even more immersive.

How to Use YouTube Music on Desktop

Although YouTube Music doesn’t offer a native desktop app, there are several ways to enjoy the service on your computer. Here are the best methods:

1. Accessing YouTube Music via the Website

The simplest way to use YouTube Music on your desktop is by accessing the official website through your browser. This method requires no additional downloads or installations, making it the most straightforward option.

Here’s how to get started:

Open Your Web Browser: Use any modern browser such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, or Safari.

Visit the YouTube Music Website: Type yt music desktop into your browser’s address bar and hit enter. This will bring you to the homepage of YouTube Music.

Sign In to Your Google Account: To enjoy personalized recommendations, playlists, and your library, sign in with your Google account. If you don’t have one, it’s free and easy to create one.

Start Browsing and Playing Music: Once signed in, you can start browsing through the available catalog, which includes albums, artists, and playlists. YouTube Music will also provide personalized recommendations based on your listening history.

Create Playlists and Organize Your Library: You can create and manage custom playlists or add songs to your library. You can even explore curated playlists based on mood, genre, or activity, making it easy to discover new music.

Watch Music Videos: YouTube Music allows you to seamlessly switch between audio-only tracks and full music videos. If you enjoy watching official music videos or live performances, you can access these directly on the platform.

This method is the easiest way to use YouTube Music on your desktop without needing to install any additional software. It offers a smooth, intuitive interface for casual and regular users alike.

2. Using YouTube Music Progressive Web App (PWA)

If you prefer a more app-like experience, YouTube Music Progressive Web App (PWA) is an excellent option. PWAs are designed to provide a native app experience while running within a web browser. With a PWA, you get many of the same features and benefits as a desktop app, such as offline listening, better performance, and faster load times.

Here’s how you can install YouTube Music’s PWA on your computer:

Open Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge: PWAs work best with Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, so launch either of these browsers.

Visit the YouTube Music Website: Go to yt music desktop.

Install the PWA: After the page loads, you’ll see an icon in the browser’s address bar, usually a “+” or a download button. Click on this icon, and select Install YouTube Music.

Launch YouTube Music: After installation, the YouTube Music app will appear in your application folder or as a shortcut on your desktop. You can now open YouTube Music in its own window, giving you an app-like experience while still utilizing the power of your browser.

The PWA version offers several advantages over the standard website, such as better performance and offline functionality (for YouTube Music Premium users). It also provides a more streamlined experience, without the clutter of browser tabs.

3. Using Android Emulators to Run YouTube Music

For users who prefer the mobile version of YouTube Music, you can use an Android emulator to run the mobile app on your desktop. Emulators simulate an Android device on your computer, allowing you to install and run Android apps as if you were using a phone or tablet.

Here’s how to run YouTube Music through an Android emulator:

Download and Install an Android Emulator: Popular Android emulators include BlueStacks, NoxPlayer, and LDPlayer. Download and install your preferred emulator.

Sign In with Google Account: After installing the emulator, sign in with your Google account to access the Google Play Store.

Install YouTube Music: Open the Google Play Store within the emulator, search for YouTube Music, and click Install.

Launch YouTube Music: Once installed, you can open the YouTube Music app just as you would on a mobile device. You’ll have access to the full mobile app features, including personalized recommendations, playlists, and music videos.

While this method offers a full mobile app experience, it requires more system resources and may not be as smooth as the website or PWA version. It’s also more suitable for users who prefer the mobile interface and features.

4. Third-Party Apps for YouTube Music

If you want to enjoy YouTube Music in a third-party app, there are various apps that allow streaming from YouTube Music. For example, VLC Media Player and Audials can stream YouTube Music content. However, these apps don’t integrate fully with YouTube Music’s features, like playlists and recommendations.

These third-party apps can be useful for users who simply want to stream content but are not ideal for those looking for the full YouTube Music experience.

Key Features of YouTube Music on Desktop

No matter how you choose to access YouTube Music on your desktop, the platform offers several standout features that enhance your listening experience:

1. Massive Music Library

YouTube Music has a vast library of music that spans genres, including official songs, live performances, covers, and remixes. The integration with YouTube also allows you to access a broader collection of content than other streaming services.

2. Music Videos

One of YouTube Music’s unique features is its access to music videos, live concerts, and user-generated content. This makes it more than just an audio streaming service—it’s an all-encompassing platform for music fans.

3. Personalized Playlists and Recommendations

YouTube Music tailors playlists and recommendations based on your listening habits, which helps you discover new artists and songs you may love. You can also explore curated playlists for different moods and activities.

4. Offline Listening

If you have YouTube Music Premium, you can download your favorite tracks and listen offline. This is a great feature for users on the go or for those who want to save on data.

5. Ad-Free Experience

The Premium version of YouTube Music offers an ad-free experience, ensuring you can enjoy uninterrupted music, whether you’re listening to audio or watching videos.

6. Background Play

With Premium, you can listen to music in the background while using other apps or when your device is locked. This is a key feature for multitaskers.

Conclusion

YouTube Music on desktop offers a robust music streaming experience, whether you access it through the website, the Progressive Web App (PWA), or an Android emulator. With a vast music library, seamless video integration, personalized recommendations, and the benefits of YouTube Music Premium, YouTube Music is a powerful platform for music lovers.

Whether you’re using it for casual listening, discovering new tracks, or watching music videos, YouTube Music provides a flexible and enjoyable way to experience music on your desktop computer. By choosing the method that best suits your needs, you can unlock the full potential of YouTube Music right from your desktop.

I've heard that adnausaum is pretty good because it will mess up any data gathering by making whatever website you are visiting think you are clicking every single ad (not that many ever get through ublock)

It's one of the recommended extensions/add-ons when you download Firefox on mobile,

My favourite features from firefox mobile are, picture in picture and playing audio from YouTube while my phone is locked (plus no ads)

And being able to access my open tabs on other devices, I've got firefox on my laptop, 2 android phones, iphone, and ipad & it's really nice to be able to pull up a tab I've had open on one & continue where i left off, i mostly use this for AO3 not gonna lie

The built in password generator & saver isn't half bad

Mozilla also has it's own VPN service tho I've never used it so I can't say how good it is

hey instead of bullying or scaring you into switching to firefox, let me tell you why i LOVE firefox and how my online life has improved significantly since installing it

- the setup process is easy, and even fun! if you’re using tumblr rn, you can handle it, and if you’re the kind of tumblr user who likes customizing your blog or tinkering with xkit, you can have a lot of fun personalizing really granular settings and picking themes and extensions and everything, it’s very customizable and i happily spent like 2 hours getting everything perfect.

- you can use a command line entry tool to change specific settings right from the search bar! i did this to make firefox stop auto filling my email information since i use a different password locker (which you should too! try bitwarden!), and it was easier than digging through a bunch of submenus for a setting i wasn’t sure existed. you can just turn shit off!

- there’s a preset theme called aurora that’s purple and VERY pretty

- once you get ublock origin and as many other blockers as you’d like set up, no ads, anywhere, ever! streaming sites, youtube, all the basics, totally no stress and no compatibility issues for me

- in browser screenshot and picture in picture functions!! holy shit i use these every day, the PiP is especially helpful, it replaced an extension i used to use on chrome and it’s leagues better and works on all video content pretty much

- overall better downloads management imo, it’s a lot easier to get to your downloads and find them later

- better bookmark system, with the ability to organize your bookmarks with searchable tags and assign them a shortcut you can type into the search bar to go to

- containers! you can have two accounts to the same website open in two different tabs and switch between them without having to switch accounts. also gives firefox the ability to contain facebook and their trackers, so you can click that party invite link without feeling like you just let mark zuckerberg into your house

these were just off the top of my head, i love firefox a lot and actively enjoy using it, which i never felt with chrome! please download firefox!! you will not regret it!!! where’s your fucking rage!!!!!! go!!!!!!!!!

which browsers have built in vpn

Browser VPN integration

Browser VPN integration refers to the seamless incorporation of a Virtual Private Network (VPN) service directly into a web browser, enhancing user privacy and security while browsing the internet. This integration offers users the convenience of accessing VPN functionality without the need for separate software installations or configurations.

One of the primary benefits of browser VPN integration is enhanced privacy. By encrypting internet traffic, VPNs prevent ISPs, hackers, and other third parties from monitoring or intercepting online activities. With VPN integration, users can protect their sensitive information, such as login credentials, banking details, and personal communications, from prying eyes.

Moreover, browser VPN integration enables users to bypass geo-restrictions and access region-locked content. By connecting to servers located in different countries, individuals can unblock websites, streaming services, and other online resources that may be restricted based on geographic location. This feature is particularly useful for travelers, expatriates, and individuals living in countries with strict internet censorship.

Additionally, integrating a VPN directly into a web browser simplifies the user experience. Instead of switching between multiple applications or devices, users can enable the VPN directly within their preferred browser. This streamlined approach saves time and eliminates the need for additional software installations or updates.

However, it's essential for users to choose reputable VPN providers that prioritize security and privacy. While browser VPN integration offers convenience, users should research and select VPN services with robust encryption protocols, a strict no-logs policy, and transparent privacy practices.

In conclusion, browser VPN integration offers users a convenient and effective solution for enhancing online privacy, security, and accessibility. By encrypting internet traffic and bypassing geo-restrictions, integrated VPNs empower users to browse the web safely and access content from anywhere in the world.

VPN-enabled browsers

A VPN-enabled browser is a web browser that incorporates Virtual Private Network (VPN) technology to ensure secure and private browsing sessions for users. By utilizing a VPN within the browser itself, users can encrypt their internet traffic and mask their IP addresses, making it challenging for third parties to track their online activities or identify their physical locations.

One of the key benefits of using a VPN-enabled browser is the enhanced level of privacy and security it offers. With the encrypted connection provided by the VPN, users can prevent hackers, government agencies, or even their Internet Service Providers from monitoring their online behavior. This is especially important when accessing public Wi-Fi networks, where the risk of cyber threats is higher.

Moreover, VPN-enabled browsers also allow users to bypass geo-restrictions and access content that is blocked in their region. By connecting to VPN servers in different countries, users can unblock websites, streaming services, and other online content that may be restricted based on their geographical location.

Popular web browsers such as Opera, Brave, and Mozilla Firefox offer built-in VPN features that users can activate to browse the internet privately and securely. These VPN-enabled browsers provide an extra layer of protection without the need to download additional VPN software, making it convenient for users to safeguard their online activities.

In conclusion, VPN-enabled browsers are valuable tools for individuals seeking to enhance their online privacy, security, and access to geo-blocked content. By incorporating VPN technology directly into the browser, users can enjoy a safer and more unrestricted browsing experience.

Built-in VPN browser options

The option of built-in VPN functionality in web browsers has gained popularity among internet users as a convenient way to enhance online privacy and security. VPN stands for Virtual Private Network, a tool that encrypts internet traffic and routes it through a remote server, effectively masking the user's IP address and making their online activities more private and secure.

Several leading web browsers, such as Opera, Firefox, and Brave, have integrated VPN features directly into their settings, allowing users to enable the VPN with just a few clicks. This eliminates the need for separate VPN software or browser extensions, providing a seamless and user-friendly experience.

Built-in VPN browser options are particularly useful for individuals who frequently connect to public Wi-Fi networks, such as those in cafes, airports, or hotels, as these networks are often vulnerable to cyber attacks. By using the built-in VPN feature, users can ensure that their data remains encrypted and protected from potential hackers.

Furthermore, built-in VPN browser options can also help users bypass geo-restrictions and access content that may be blocked in their region. By connecting to a VPN server located in a different country, users can mask their real location and access websites, streaming services, or online platforms that may otherwise be unavailable to them.

Overall, the availability of built-in VPN options in web browsers offers users a convenient and effective way to enhance their online security, privacy, and browsing experience. By simply activating the VPN feature within their browser settings, users can enjoy a safer and more unrestricted internet experience.

Web browsers with integrated VPN

In recent years, online privacy has become a growing concern for internet users worldwide. With the rise of cyber threats and increasing surveillance, many individuals are seeking ways to protect their data and maintain anonymity while browsing the web. One solution that has gained popularity is web browsers with integrated virtual private network (VPN) capabilities.

These specialized browsers offer users the ability to encrypt their internet connection and route it through remote servers, effectively hiding their IP address and location from prying eyes. By doing so, they can browse the internet anonymously and access geo-restricted content without fear of being tracked or monitored.

Several web browsers now come equipped with built-in VPN features, providing users with a convenient and seamless way to protect their privacy online. One notable example is Opera, which offers a free, built-in VPN service that allows users to browse securely and access content from around the world.

Another option is the Brave browser, which not only includes a built-in VPN but also boasts built-in ad-blocking and tracking protection features. This combination of privacy-focused tools makes Brave a popular choice among users who prioritize online anonymity and security.

Additionally, companies like Mozilla, the creators of Firefox, have begun integrating VPN functionality into their browsers through partnerships with third-party providers. This gives users the option to enable VPN protection directly within the browser interface, adding an extra layer of security to their browsing experience.

Overall, web browsers with integrated VPN capabilities offer users a convenient and effective way to safeguard their online privacy. By encrypting their internet connection and masking their IP address, these browsers help individuals protect their personal data and maintain anonymity while browsing the web. As online privacy continues to be a top concern, the demand for such tools is likely to grow, making integrated VPN browsers an increasingly popular choice among internet users.

VPN-equipped internet browsers

Title: Enhancing Online Privacy with VPN-Equipped Internet Browsers

In an era where online privacy concerns are paramount, utilizing Virtual Private Network (VPN)-equipped internet browsers has become increasingly popular. These specialized browsers offer an added layer of security and anonymity, helping users safeguard their personal information and browsing activities from prying eyes.

VPN-equipped browsers function similarly to traditional VPN services by encrypting internet traffic and routing it through secure servers, effectively masking the user's IP address and location. This encryption ensures that sensitive data, such as passwords, financial transactions, and browsing history, remains protected from hackers, government surveillance, and other third-party entities.

One of the key advantages of using a VPN-equipped browser is the ability to access geo-restricted content. By connecting to servers in different countries, users can bypass regional restrictions imposed by streaming services, websites, or governments, allowing them to enjoy unrestricted access to content from anywhere in the world.

Moreover, these browsers often come with built-in features like ad blockers, tracker blockers, and malware protection, further enhancing the user's online security and browsing experience. By blocking intrusive ads and tracking scripts, users can enjoy faster page load times and a cleaner browsing environment while minimizing the risk of malware infections.

Popular VPN-equipped browsers such as Opera, Brave, and Tor Browser have gained traction among privacy-conscious users due to their focus on security and anonymity. These browsers offer user-friendly interfaces, robust privacy features, and compatibility with various operating systems, making them suitable for both novice and experienced users alike.

In conclusion, VPN-equipped internet browsers provide a convenient and effective solution for enhancing online privacy and security. By encrypting internet traffic, bypassing geo-restrictions, and blocking intrusive elements, these browsers empower users to take control of their digital footprint and enjoy a safer and more private browsing experience.
