       Man, the Internets, and specifically Web 2.0, REALLY did a number on the desktop application space, innit?Today I found out not only Clementine, the music player, has been dead for years (forked into Strawberry, tho) but also Amarok seems to be gone for a couple years.A while back I struggled to find something as simple as an RSS reader that would sit on the systray and notify me (thank you QuiteRSS)And today, same deal looking for a calendar app. Ended up paying EUR10 for Rainlendar

       Music players are supposed to be a thing of bygone times because you're not supposed to OWN music anymoreRSS is also a relic from a time where you were expected to choose the information you want, instead of having it algorithmically fed to you on some social mediaAnd calendar/organizer stuff... that just for corporate accounts and your job will tell you to use either Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook 365Everything's been colonised in the web. Desktop is dead mall vibes

       We're all TREMENDOUSLY LUCKY the whole game streaming thing (which honestly never made sense) didn't catch on because that's almost the last bastion kinda.There's like work and stuff, but that is SO easy to fat-server anyway and a lot of it already is.
