I was thinking about this other day. I genuinely think it’s because of how we interact with the genre that has largely killed it. Everything is min maxed to no end and almost everything is essentially a chore to meet that goal. The genre use to be fun to just play around in and be social but it has really lost its touch. I’d be so happy to see a revitalization in the space.

I really can’t say I know anybody who drives a car purely for pleasure.

Bit fruity. Happy Pride!

Lmao bro, what do you think “stochastic prediction” means? It’s always the people who don’t even understand LLMs defending them the hardest.

OOP even said that he knows he “in part” was part of the problem. It seems he’s already owned up to his mistake I’m just really not sure what more the poster above wants out of the convo.

He said it was “in part” and you are acting like my guy personally spun up EC2 instances that kill people or something. In his post he even recognizes the problem but here you are just ramming it down everyone’s throats that it’s really the OSS devs saving the world out here.

I’ve been in the space for almost a decade at this point and by god OSS devs have to be the weirdest people I’ve ever met. Always some sort of superiority complex or something.

This kind of attitude towards people just trying to get by is a pretty shitty one. You aren’t above anybody by being an OSS dev.

And if not a god, at least somebody with a really funny sense of humor.

Yikes! It’s really not hard to be upfront about it. Or do these dweebs understand that nobody likes this bullshit?

As a software engineer who absolutely uses Claude for all his dumbass ideas, these “developers” don’t know the difference between a toy app and something production ready. Maybe this will get people to start reading source code (like the issue you linked above) and understand what they are deploying way more.

When can you ever push back on the DNC for being unable to put forward a good candidate?

I wouldn’t say that. There’s a lot of disenfranchisement going on with many people across the country. They could still be able to vote but for a myriad of reasons simply be unable to.

Sounds like the problem may inevitably take care of itself.

Oh so you are saying the service exists in another form and is able to fill a need people have? So therefore Spotify is just one solution to a problem many people have.

You are genuinely being disingenuous if you don’t see how some people could want to use Spotify over something like Soulseek or even something like YouTube Music.

I don’t even like Spotify, but I can see why some people might.

Do you think people have a need for music that is streamed but not saved from a large collection?

You really don’t get the appeal of paying for a service that provides a need? Really?

Sure. You have to be insane to get behind a wheel. I am insane for doing it.

Absolutely. Lost my job recently and started having to drive again and let me tell you every single driver is some form of psychotic. It’s insane.

How good is invidious? At the moment I’m pulling all of my videos in with TubeArchivist and that’s been hit or miss with getting blocked by YouTube. I also don’t watch my videos fast enough so they get backed up.

Crazy I was screamed at on Reddit for pointing out this guys hypocrisy. Glad I left his miserable platform.

I absolutely agree. Many just don’t think the benefit of being nimble is worth it. Glad to see it being a bigger discussion.
