Self-hosters are probably the type of people who are interested in getting away from “big tech” corporate solutions for everything, so it makes sense that they would prefer Fediverse versions

You don’t have to host your whole family’s library though. You can start with whatever you want and be on the road to improving your setup.

MP3 players aren’t bad, they’re just mostly obsolete when smartphones can do the same thing and we mostly already have one.

I like to keep several GB of music on my phone from my MP3 library, and I have no streaming music accounts. I pay once for my music at most.

That’s what they want you to think. In reality they just stopped trying to be efficient with storage because of Internet delivery vs DVD size limits. They probably didn’t even try middle-out compression!

Well that’s not too surprising, when the original game’s installer files are only about 5-6 GB in total, and the remaster requires 120GB of space. They probably have a couple copies of Fallout in there too just for bloat.
