So if I wanted to get off of Spotify and take my playlists with me, what's a good accessible alternative, and how do I migrate?

When I used Title last, it was a mess of unlabelled buttons and deeply unpleasant to use. If that has changed then I'm fine with switching but I never got it to work.

Earlier this year I used TuneMyMusic to transfer some of my playlists from Spotify to Pandora, but despite it saying all over the website that it works, it now throws up some weird error about the connection no longer working, Pandora not having an API, and asks if I want to @ Pandora on X to complain about it. No thanks, I click. Why are these buttons always "No thanks" and not "Fuck no" or just "No?"

Are there any nice options I'm missing? I'm fine with CLI tools and CSV or somesuch, just predictably this has gotten worse and I've been putting it off because I didn't have the spoons. Sometimes I hate it when I'm right.

I tried Tidal for 2 months recently, and ended up switching back to Spotify. The Android app was unrelyable, in terms of crashing now and then, not remembering audio position, and over all there are basically no features. You can't see in which playlist you've added a certain track, you can't remove a track from the currently playing playlist from the player screen, you always have to find it in the playlist list, which makes editing a nightmare. And all sorts of that stuff. It confuses artists all the time. I listen to a german band called SDP and in my updates page, which was way slower and out of date than Spotifys, it showed me weird songs by some foreign rappers with the same names. Colaborations with an artist I was following where not beeing displayed in that updates thing at all... I kept my Tidal sub but just for the heck of ripping music in high quallity lmao. I think if you're on Apple try Apple Music, they'r windows app should be quite good as well. Can't say that about Tidals, it's just a mehish electron app.

@frameworkcomputer Framework's continued commitment to "deliberately create a big tent" is paying off.

More than a month since the last public statement comment from Framework on the subject and they still haven't distanced themselves from this guy.

The forum thread has over 2000 replies at this point..

In the early 2000s the ReactOS team paused development for years; to engage in a project wide audit, under accusations that a developer may have SEEN leaked windows sourcecode.

In the 2020s folks keep insisting it's cool for #FLOSS devs to use AI's trained on random other projects to generate code; when it is known that such AI assistants occasionally reproduce code verbatim, without regard to the original software license. #llm #AI #eliza #generativeAI

Hey! I’m CEO of a company that has just raised $10 billion for an app that takes the hard work out of enjoying music. Did you know, some people waste hours each day listening to “tunes”. Our AI will listen to it for you and summarise it in a 15 second scream leaving you more time to focus on what's really important in life: adding value.

Ollama update: I'm looking around to see what models I can run locally on an m1 mac mini. I've seen some people use Gemma3 for image descriptions. I'd like to have NVDA hook into a local model I control in order to describe web images that don't have alt text. My machine's got 16 gigs of unified memory and MacOS uses between 6 and 7 gigs idle, so it looks like I can juuuuuuust about cram Gemma3:12b in without dipping into swap. That said, I do wanna get a VPN going so I can access it securely from anywhere, so that's going to eat into my RAM budget as well

Thursday.

Turning 38 yesterday was an odd experience. On my last birthday I left the house at 4 in the morning for a work thing. Yesterday my only appointment was a 45 minute chat after lunch. Paternity Leave is a wonderful thing.

Bertie is 2 months old today, although he was 8 weeks on Saturday, of course. He's being a bit refluxy and I'm getting through more bibs and cloths than I thought we actually owned. The GP asked about contraception during his 6-in-1, Rotavirus and MenB vaccinations. Contraception! Who has time for anything that might even seem to lead to the need for that, I ask?
Apart from that he's a happy and healthy baby And I am only going ever so slightly mad at not being able to do anything.
I'm hopeful I'll feel better when I've gotten all my Christmas shopping out of the way, which I aim to do before we fly off for a weekend in Malta this time next week.

We could house everyone. We could feed everyone. We could care for everyone. We could build devices designed to last as long as possible. We could align our manufacturing around the needs of the people and the planet.

We materially have the resources to do so.

That's why leftists are so angry. The resources we need to build a world everyone can thrive in literally already exist. We are just using them mostly to pamper the rich or murder the poor.

Hitler called Jews “rats”.

Trump calls Somalians “garbage”.

The purpose is the same: To dehumanize a minority in order to justify violence against the minority.

Every Prime Minister and every President in the democratic world must condemn this. We know where this leads and we cannot accept this.

Never again.
