The Music app (also called Apple Music, formerly iTunes) is a library manager at its core. You don’t need an Apple Music subscription to use it. It runs on macOS and Windows.

If you’re an Apple household, Apple Music (iTunes) is still great. I don’t pay for streaming services; I buy music on iTunes/Bandcamp and rip CDs.

Apple Music has a fantastic interface for managing metadata, creating playlists, and performing complex batch jobs with AppleScript. I sync my iPhone and iPod Nano every time I add a new album, and I host my media folder on NextCloud for listening on other devices.

Thanks! What kinds of things do you intend to do with your lab? I felt that the Pi was suitable for most everything except media pipelines.

Love the evolution! How are you measuring the power consumption of your devices? I’d be interested in profiling my build as well.

I had the first and second generation AirPods Pros, and both unfortunately had this issue. I’ve read reports from others online that it also occurs on Beats earbuds. Something to do with the ANC hardware.

At any rate, I think the Sony buds are just as good in terms of sound quality and ANC. Their version of “Transparency Mode” isn’t quite as nice, but that’s not a dealbreaker for me.

I just bought a pair of Sony WF-100XM5 earbuds because every pair of AirPods I’ve owned since 2019 has experienced the dreaded rumbling. I wonder if they fixed it with this version…

Honestly, I don’t think Snaps are so bad. Canonical’s top market is enterprise, and Snaps are ideal for deploying applications in these environments. If you’re an end-user, you can literally just uninstall the runtime

If you’re fortunate enough to live near a well-funded library, you can peruse their new arrivals section for CDs. That’s how I discover new artists

I’m hoping this takes off!

This is late-stage capitalism bursting at the seams. Of course the USA should not have any grounds to bully another institution (state or corporate) into bending to its current political whims. And at the same time, a corporation should never have been given so much leverage—the ability to entirely bypass requirements—in the first place. I know there’s more nuance to it than that, but goddamn…

Not sure about their business model, but I love Glow. It’s great for browsing folders of Markdown files.

Do you plan to offer a browser extension for those who would enjoy the Fediverse integration but don’t want to run a custom fork?

I also experienced screen tearing on every Pebble unit I owned. If they fix this, I’ll absolutely buy a new one

But what does that have to do with consumer privacy?

I’m not sure why being a “privacy vendor” forbids you from using AI tools in your development process

Well done. More and more companies are deploying LLM-written code in production environments. Might as well be honest about the results so we can learn what does and doesn’t work.

The bill suggests that violations may be “discovered through content moderation conducted by a human or via a non-human method, including use of an algorithm, machine learning, or other means.” Automated snooping on people’s private correspondence should constitute unlawful search. Fuck that.

So the administration wants to win the AI race through deregulation, except they want to regulate its social compass. Make it make sense

Yeah… I am not sure how much this incident has to do with facial recognition or media surveillance. You went to a large concert for a globally known artist, where you can reasonably expect hundreds of cameras owned by both individuals and the venue. You brought your side piece, started touching all up on her. Recall the Jumbotron, which is famously used to highlight couples. Then you act shocked… That’s how you win stupid prizes

My understanding is that Flatpaks are generally reserved for GUI applications and not command-line tools or servers. I’m not sure it’s the ideal format for Immich.

That said—and I’m probably going to get hate for this—there is an Immich snap package that does just what you’re looking for.
