How long have you used it and how is it?

I’m pretty curious about those kinds of distros, and don’t really like how nixos is completely hosted on github (and all the drama that constantly comes from the community, and the bad documentation for many things, …).

However, guix seems such a niche project that I feel like it can’t really be used.

I agree with you about the API, it seems to be one of the first things to go.

Though, killing it would be expecially dumb in this case, as it is what made trakt famous in the first place. It’s really useful to have a scrobbler for every major service, and I use it for a dumb side project.

I’d really like to know what else they think they are adding with their service that is worth $60/year. The data comes from tmdb, the trailers are youtube links, reviews and lists are created by users (when they are allowed to). Sure, they package it all together, but I wouldn’t call the website a masterpiece of neither form or function.

I hope that the current backlash will make them (temporarily) revert the change, but this is still a clear signal of the path they are willing to take. I’ll be looking for other services.

The blog post in their forums is titled “Freemium Experience: More Features for All”.

Also, they quietly doubled the price for VIP accounts in September (used to be $30/y)

It could be an issue with the codecs (browsers are usually pretty limited in what they support). You could try to use a client like Jellyfin Media Player instead. It bundles libmpv, so it plays almost any video format there is.

You should put some quotes where you use the array:

not_what_you_think=( "a b" "c" "d" )
for sneaky in "${not_what_you_think[@]}"; do
  echo "This is sneaky: ${sneaky}"
done

This is sneaky: a b
This is sneaky: c
This is sneaky: d
