Despite the popular fantasy, the rich and powerful are not stupid.

Hubris is what the rich and powerful suffer from, not stupidity. And hubris makes the same blind decisions as stupidity.

In tempus, the setting is called “continuous play”. In feishin, it’s called “auto-dj”. Both settings are turned on by default, so you shouldn’t have to do anything.

Scrobbling helps because every played track goes into played history, and play counts help dynamic song selection more and more over time.

I don’t use the ratings, but I’ll “heart” songs I like.

I scrobble my playing from navidrome using listenbrainz and tell my two clients Tempus and Feishin to use the scrobbled data to build dynamic playlists. If I start with a particular song or album, the mix following that is usually kept in the same mood, only strays into weird stuff once in a while, but no more that YouTube Music used to.

Mir was canonical’s own fault for trying to pull a (blatantly obvious) licensing move where Mir would have been nearly impossible to compete with in a future Ubuntu.

When you fumble something so badly that Intel stops supporting your efforts on it in protest, you messed up.

The move to curb access to social media for minors is fine.

If you stop to think about how it will be done, that’s where the problems lie, and that’s where basic functions of democracy (anonymity, transparency, and the right to know where our information is stored) are very much in danger.

Stop pushing the first part of the headline and omitting the rather serious nexts steps and implementation.

What the self-absorbed hell. Who said this?

+1 for ansible.There’s a module for almost everything out there.

Anubis is an elegant solution to the ai bot scraper issue, I just wish the solution to everything wasn’t just spending compute everywhere. In a world where we need to rethink our energy consumption and generation, even on clients, this is a stupid use of computing power.
