All the papers here are wondering if will recover from this years debacle.

@Flaky@furry.engineer avatar

@WhyNotZoidberg It really depends on how the EBU acts for next year. The audience at the arena made their opinions known so much the TV crew struggled to contain the boos (especially when the focus was on Martin like holy shit)

Went to search Google for "umbreon slippers". Brain went and typed "volpeon slippers" instead. My brain is cooked tonight lmao.

haha it's spam time again. Be sure to mute this thread if you're not up for it!

@dwarf people also reference Steps' Deeper Shade of Blue too.

Which is funny because even though neither of them need each other (All but one member are unsure/flat out said no), they really can't really escape Eurovision.

It’s funny that Jack Dorsey, who the fediverse pins as a scapegoat and reason to not join Bluesky, has admitted to no longer being part of the Bluesky board while an ex-Twitter employee is now part of the leading software for the fediverse.

How do you guys decide to save the music you like to your library/liked songs on streaming? Just wondering.

I’m thinking on saving just the songs I absolutely love (i.e. rated 9 or 10/10) since my Apple Music library is getting really big and I want to downsize.

@Flaky@furry.engineer avatar

@avis_jay I’d do this with a DAP in the future. My smartphone rn is my DAP. 😩

The lack of custom optional algorithm makes my timeline harder and harder to follow especially since the cache system of Mastodon doesn't work well, so I've just started to unfollow accounts.

Don't take it personally, it's better to curate your follows anyway :)

@fenarinarsa I’ve tried following hashtags equivalent to the topic feeds I follow on Bluesky and some of them are basically ghost towns. Little wonder why Bluesky popped off with a more general audience.

I got John Waters and Roger Waters confused and initially thought Vivzie somehow got someone from Pink Floyd onto Helluva Boss.

Why do Windows updates take forever with seemingly no progress at all in-between and Linux just gets it done in under 5 minutes?

@volpeon I use Fedora btw

@gamingonlinux AdGuard is worth the money on iOS tbh. Also get Consent-o-Matic while you're there.

I've started to learn to enjoy programming again and want to make a new project (essentially I want to take the parts of MusicBee I miss going to other music players).

My only thing is... this project I want to make, I'm not sure if I should make it in Python, which is the one I have most experience with, or another programming language. I have decent experience with PyQt at this point.

For something like a music library organiser (which is basically just a glorified database management system for music), performance is key, and Quod Libet can be quite sluggish, so I'm reluctant to choose Python for that reason... but I don't know what language to go to from Python. Rust, maybe? rust-cxx is a thing, so...

Flaky, to Metal
@Flaky@furry.engineer avatar

A little while ago, I asked people on fedi on how to get into extreme metal and got some helpful insight from the responses. At the same time, Apple Music dropped a track from Necrophobic's "In the Twilight Grey" into my New Music Playlist and I thought it was good enough to check the album out in its entirety.

And I just listened to the album. And honestly? It's great. The extreme metal recs I get from friends and such tend to be hit or miss as I'm not that well versed in the scene, so whether Apple could provide a hit was up in the air - thankfully for them this was very much a slam dunk.

Mozilla should replace whoever is responsible for their fedi account posts with AI. It couldn't be worse at reading the room ​:woozy_baa:​

TBH and this might just be me being a fucking weirdo or extreme night owl but, seeing the sky go dark during totality would honestly be cooler to me than seeing the eclipse in general. Just seeing the lights go off on the planet completely.

Flaky, to linux
@Flaky@furry.engineer avatar

I'll be honest, I'm not sure on what distro to go for now. Maybe I'm just being paranoid here, but the xz backdoor stuff has made me skeptical of bleeding-edge rolling releases, however Arch is like, the only OS where everything works for me. Fedora 39 has a problem with Bluetooth not working. Bleh. Trying Pop!_OS right now.

This is the sorta shit I want to see Mozilla doing. None of the AI bubble shit. I want to see them poach back the audience that moved to Vivaldi and the others. And with stuff like this, you love to see it.

Now bring back compact spacing.

People should make their own websites!

Even a small static one is good already.

@pixel I think my main issue - besides the financial and mental part - is finding a good host/domain registrar. I have seen Lume though and that did give me an itch...
