  • Spotify fans threaten to return to piracy as music streamer introduces new face-scanning age checks in the UK

  • This is very, very early, and I am sure I will introduce breaking changes along the way that will require your music to be re-indexed (I'm not sure I'm happy with how I am normalizing all dimensions).

    The server, boldaric, is available on github. This requires navidrome (or other subsonic compatible server). It will take a LONG time to index all your music, as it is doing heavy machine learning on it.

    There is also early work on an iOS client, called Tor Jolan, also available on github. You can register for the beta on apple's test flight

  • AI experts return from China stunned: The U.S. grid is so weak, the race may already be over

    Jump

  • It just seems to me that we should require data centers to pay for new capacity on the grid using 100% renewable energy.

    That would keep regular citizens for having to pay for the grid expansion, would help clean up the grid and move it forward, and all that investment in wind and solar would help bring the cost of renewables down. It would be a win for everyone.

  • Using DeepSeek at work is like ‘printing out and handing over your confidential information’

    Jump

  • The model itself does not contain spyware nor is it filtered. Using the models locally (via ollama or llama.cpp) or in a secure hosted environment like AWS bedrock is safe. I was DeepSeek that way all the time.

    I would never ever recommend using DeepSeek or Alibaba’s Qwen service though!

  • For some. But Alabama power has raised rates AGAIN to build another 2 gas plants because of data centers. My power bill has increased by 50% in the last 6 years.

  • Same but I use navidrome for music (Jellyfin is create for my tv/movie collection)

    I’m also working on a new open source server and front end for a personal pandora like service, that uses machine learning (not popularity from last.fm) to find songs that are statistically similar across 150 dimensions.

  • How I use virtual desktops

    Jump

  • What OS are you on? Virtual desktops on Mac and windows are just terrible. On Linux I’ve been using virtual desktops on Linux since the 90s and when I see my colleagues on Mac using a single desktop with 20 windows trying desperately to switch between windows I just shake my head.

    I use dynamic virtual desktops and have a separate desktop for every task. That keeps me focused on that task, but also lets me easily jump to something different. I couldn’t imagine trying to be productive any other way.

  • Linus Torvalds on how and when to maintain a clean git history (2009)

    Jump

  • If ‘—first-parent’ was the default way that git log worked, I don’t think we’d even be having this argument over how to merge branches.

    In my opinion, the best strategy is to always use a merge commit, and then when viewing master, always use —first-parent which will ONLY show commits on master. This gives you:

    • a very clean, linear history
    • the ability to let people work in their branches in their own way (it is ok to merge master into your branch multiple times without rebasing)
    • you can dig into the history of any branch if needed
    • it makes it easy to backport changes as you can cherry-pick out the merge commit which contains everything.

    The problem is just the default log view of git and tools.

  • Pledge of allegiance is woke propaganda

  • Even in 1st grade in 1989 we used to say “and justice for oil”

  • Weedkiller ingredient widely used in US can damage organs and gut bacteria, research shows

  • The problem is all that ends up in the groundwater. Obviously industrial use is the problem, but I think it is responsible to avoid any herbicide especially if it is just to make your yard “look nice”.

  • The Trump administration has made drastic cuts to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that threaten to impact weather forecasting (headline from four months ago)

    Jump

  • Since 2013 we’ve seen disenfranchisement in Alabama in real time. Require strict new voter id, then close the DMVs in black and left leaning areas. Combine polling places in democratic leaning areas so they are further away and have long lines. Move polling places so they are no longer accessible by bus. Those are just the obvious ones, but the Republicans’ strategy has been to do anything they can to stop people from voting.

  • And every time a city tries to do something good, the state steps in and stops it. This happens daily in Birmingham, Alabama where the state is constantly overturning things the city has passed or the state takes the ability away from the city.

  • Trump says he’ll withhold money from New York if Mamdani becomes mayor

    Jump

  • Except we can barely afford the bread and circuses right now. This is true of people like me that 5 years ago thought they were doing really well…

  • A 2020 law banning plastic bags in Vermont has nearly eliminated their use in the state

    Jump

  • And in Alabama, when the city of Birmingham banned plastic bags, the state turned around and made a law that banning plastic bags was not allowed 🤦‍♀️

  • Reddit undeleted all my comments!

    Jump

  • US companies must comply if they serve European customers. Reddit may make you try to prove you are European and deny it.

    I believe under the CCPA which is a California law that is also strong and would also require them removing your data. It might apply to them even if you don’t reside in California since that is where they are based.

  • You could try a GDPR request. They are required to actually delete it permanently from their database and backups.

  • How is federated social media better?

    Jump

  • Of course it is public. But I can be pseudo anonymous. I can have multiple aliases on different instances and I don’t have to register my phone number or other personal information. There’s no trackers tracking every damn thing I look at and correlating it all together. I can use it over Tor or VPN if I need more anonymization…

  • All right music fans, what's your favorite band/musician and how many times have you seen them live?

    Jump

  • Аркона! 7 times (almost every time they’ve been to the US)

  • What California governor Newsom said after an Alabama senator called LA ‘a third world country’

    Jump

  • Even though he is Alabama’s senator, he doesn’t currently, nor did he reside full time in Alabama!

  • What's a good or service that both the upper class and lower class buy, but the middle class doesn't?

    Jump

  • Bicycles! Lower class uses them as transportation, upper class uses them for recreation.
