I’m a bandcamp user and buy stuff regularly there, only because they are the lesser of all evils… but what is their current status? I thought they went bankrupt and owned by tencent?

Are they still fighting the good fight? Or heading toward enshittification?

Geez, that still exists too??? Is sharebear still around? Limewire? Kazaa???

awesome! i’ll check this out!

sorry for the n00b question, but why do i need to self host a persistent daemon and then connect to it using a webUI? can’t i just use a soulseek client on my local machine? i’m not really familiar with the architecture of soulseek.

Cool!

Is there any good content on soulseek? The last time i downloaded music from that era, it was all 96kbps realplayer audio files totally mislabelled with the wrong artist

My internet connection is over 100x faster than 20yrs ago, but pages still load slower…

Lol, i kept foolishly building HTPCs with bluray drives hoping that someday i could actually play my bluray disks…

No, i am Luigi!

This is exactly how we use LLMs at work… LLM is trained on our work data so it can answer questions about meeting notes from 5 years ago or something. There are a few geniunely helpful use cases like this amongst a sea of hype and mania. I wish lemmy would understand this instead of having just a blanket policy of hate on everything AI

the spotify thing is so stupid… There is simply no use case here for AI. Just spit back some numbers from my listening history like in the past. No need to have AI commentary and hallucination

The even more infuriating part of all this is that i can think of ways that AI/ML (not necesarily LLMs) could actually be really useful for spotify. Like tagging genres, styles, instruments, etc… “Spotify, find me all songs by X with Y instrument in them…”

Official.

Yeah, if they kill off the official app and neuter the other linux based choices then i’ll move on

I only stick with spotify because it has the best support on linux

Can any linux users can share their experience with other platforms?

*22:38 - Incident declared based on monitoring and customer reports of our Cloud Control Panel not loading. *22:44 - Issue detected by an internal alert

Their internal detection system was 6mins slower than customer reporting… 6 mins is an eternity for this kind of thing

I’m relatively new to lemmy, so i guess i missed all the other events

Personally, i loved voidfest. I spent more time on lemmy to catch them all!

I feel like what you described should be a big fat warning on the nextcloud page

OP is a lot more gracious than most internet users by accepting some responsibility. But i wouldnt blame them. I might have done the same, and i’ve been self hosting nextcloud for 8 years now.

everything is possible in excel… someone wrote a DOOM clone in excel.

I once worked at a company where someone hacked together a PO generating tool in excel 10 years prior and it just kind of stuck around even though the company grew into a billion dollar market cap public company

Thats why i said client side view. Each servers community doesnt know i’m viewing 3 communities together on my phone and it doesnt affect them

The biggest problem with lemmy for me is the multiple “duplicate” communities.

There should be a feature to combine them at the client level. So the 3 different “privacy” communities could just be viewed as one on my lemmy client

Machine learning for helping a radiologist analyze images is super helpful and a mature field.

Whatever “AI” LLM nonsense tech bros are trying to add in to everything in the last 2 years is probably not all that helpful, but i could be proven wrong

I have always used conversation view in my desktop email client. Not sure why you think this is revolutionary or exclusive to gmail.

Sorry, my comment wasnt really directed at you specifically… Just the fediverse general hate for all things AI

yours was the first that mentioned “art” which triggered me, lol

I think we are actually both on the same page… You have a reasonable view of the whole AI thing. It’s rare on lemmy/mastodon
