  • Tool for Spotify recommendations based on your self-hosted music library

    Jump

  • The only thing Spotify has going for it is the way it’s broken down music to the atomic level and given recommendations. Cool to crib some notes there even if I think it can be a bit overbearing when Spotify does it.

  • Trump’s Consistent Message Online and Onstage: Be Afraid

    Jump

  • I agree with this. You can make a competent, easily digestible message that public safety, better quality of life, etc. comes from investing in common public services. Crime goes down when there’s better public health and education.

  • And they certainly don’t understand that safety has emerged from better public services but so it goes.

  • Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible

    Jump

  • I appreciate anyone working on an actual community but doing the service of not just giving free content but free curation to a corporation seems unreal. Plus, I’m a grown adult. I don’t have the time to do all that much lol

  • Honestly, the US is largely safer than it’s ever been. Not sure why this is a constant drumbeat but folks will buy it up, I suppose.

  • Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible

    Jump

  • I truly don’t understand how anyone does the free work for a corporation to moderate a subreddit. Steps like this seem to treat them like employees and they’ll largely just chug along with it for… what? Notoriety?

  • U.S. Announces New Rules Banning Fake Reviews and Testimonials, Allowing Authorities to Seek Civil Penalties Against Violators, Deter AI-Generated Fake Reviews

    Jump

  • Will this stand up to the death of Chevron deference? Or are we 3 weeks away from a judge throwing the rule out unless congress passes a specific law.

    I think this is squarely in the charter of the FTC but who knows with the courts any longer. We just saw them strike down a ruling by the EPA to enact health measures under the requirements of the Civil Rights Act.

  • Too big to care? Cloudflare comes again under pressure for enabling abusive sites, anti-spam NGO says

    Jump

  • There's a balance to be struck here but Cloudflare is truly the most miserable entity I have to work with from an abuse perspective. They're not necessarily "ignoring" warrants but most phishing doesn't get reported with a legal takedown request. In those cases, Cloudflare will be almost intentionally obtuse. I'm happy to outline the misery of a host working with Cloudflare but it's not necessarily important to this. TLDR; Cloudflare takes steps that don't make sense for its "we're not responsible" stance while also having zero automation in the year of our lord 2024.

    I suppose everything could be a legal request but that just makes the whole process so infinitely worse for NGOs like Spamhaus and only serves to make lawyers excited that their consultation fees are going up. I see that the laziest pathway is "Youtube-like strikes" which is misery as well but they could just shift to investigating accounts receiving a high volume of reports as potential fraud or abuse actors since it is a drag on their services and these accounts are not paying or are paying with stolen credit cards.

    Ultimately, I don't disagree with you that much but there's a lot of room for CF to improve their management of fraud & abuse without becoming a trash platform or invalidating legal protections. Happy to get into the weeds on this a bit more since it's a lil' bit close to home. 😅

  • Too big to care? Cloudflare comes again under pressure for enabling abusive sites, anti-spam NGO says

    Jump

  • People who don’t work in fraud or abuse don’t understand how miserable Cloudflare is to work with. They have a single email box I can send to for identifying if I host a website that takes them days to respond to, no automation by the year of our lord 2024.

  • Too big to care? Cloudflare comes again under pressure for enabling abusive sites, anti-spam NGO says

    Jump

  • It’s a bit more about how miserable it is to work with Cloudflare and their unwillingness to remove abuse in general, opting to say they’re “not the host” and that they cannot tell you where it is but they cannot do anything. It’s hardly an ethical decision to say that phishing and bulletproof hosting aren’t the bedfellows you want.

  • JellyBox - Music player for Jellyfin

    Jump

  • Just started toying with Jellyfin for my media after Plex started being freaks about everything. I love PlexAmp though so anything that moves the needle on that is excellent. Tried some other players but currently, my setup only works in network and I’ll need to configure SSL somehow.

  • Tumblr and Wordpress to Sell Users’ Data to Train AI Tools

    Jump

  • I don’t really disagree with you at all but repeatedly reminding us all that you’re “not surprised” isn’t the savvy commentary you think it is. Especially since it’s historically been the case that any service you pay money to has said “no, you own your content”.

    The marker has just moved gradually on this with companies slowly adding more ownership clauses to their Terms of Service in ways that aren’t legible to average consumers. Now they’re cashing in on that ownership.

  • Tumblr and Wordpress to Sell Users’ Data to Train AI Tools

    Jump

  • While you’re not wrong, the social contract we’ve adapted to is that paying means you have some sense of ownership. It’s unreasonable to expect folks to read every Terms of Service with their legalese. Perhaps the new reality we need to accept is that there is no such thing as a good actor on the internet.

  • This looks badass. I do wish there were better mobile apps for a lot of these media servers. I’ve been mostly sticking to Plexamp for now cause of it.

  • Tumblr and Wordpress to Sell Users’ Data to Train AI Tools

    Jump

  • You pay for WordPress.com though. That’s crazy to offer a paid service and use that data in AI training.

  • I might be able to help here. Is it outbound or inbound networking? Is there a ticket number you’d be okay sharing?
