The internet has allowed for more artists to get exposure for sure, but it's still down to luck / prettiness / virality etc. In terms of slop (not necessarily AI) there's shit like this https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/spotify-denies-its-pl...

Reposting from another thread earlier.

I still have a few accounts I glance at from time to time. Hockey, Game Devs, Artists, etc. who haven't migrated away despite everything, so this is kinda obnoxious. I created some Redirector (https://einaregilsson.com/redirector/) rules to redirect Tweet and Twitter Profile URLs to their HTML embed equivalents.

Should be able to just import the rules and it seems to work alright with some caveats.

  * I have no idea if this will continue to function.
  * I've only tested some random links from my Discord and Slack groups.
  * Profile links only show the most recent 20 tweets.
  * Tweets will show quote-tweets, but no replies (though maybe that's a good thing).
  * Obviously won't work for mobile.

Rules are at https://gist.github.com/robotblake/a0f020381c1a919cf9720f9ae...

Edit: And just realized /u/justnotworthit posted the link earlier too.

Great find and always excited to see performance improvements from discoveries in older code!

On the other side, I'm always sad / unsettled to see the comments on Phoronix articles like this, the tribalism, the accusations, etc.

What are you referring to with this? What outcomes are you talking about? What are you implying that constituents want?

Rich people get rich in an area and then try to force said area to continue policies that let them get rich. News at 11?

Like of course he's going to do this, it's the libertarian "I got mine but I'm pulling the ladder up" way.

Oh come on, this comes up every single time Seattle gets mentioned. Yes, some of the more "center" candidates won during the last election over "left" candidates but those same "center" candidates would also be considered "far left communist shills" by a large portion of the country at this point.

I'm probably in the "far left communist" camp in a lot of folks mind but it's important to be clear that this type of thing (when talking about the politics of a City, Region, or State) are extremely extremely relative.

Edit: I don't think we're disagreeing to be clear, I'm just tired of this whole "SEATTLE ISN'T PROGRESSIVE ANYMORE" rhetoric. Far right media groups use it as a rallying cry for their movements and I think it's important to recognize that despite things being slightly less progressive than they could be, doesn't mean the city as a whole is suddenly embracing nazi-ism or outright authoritarianism. We've got our issues but becoming a welcoming bastion of hate is not one of them.

Edit 2: Fuck Howard Schultz. His fragile ego and god complex are why we don't have an NBA team too. I view all of this union busting the same way I viewed him after that whole debacle, a megalomaniac who wants people to "believe" he's a savior when in reality he's just another rich dude who wants regular folk to worship him and throws a tantrum if he doesn't get what he wants.

Of specific note I found this quote very alarming

> There was no single cause of death driving this lethal wedge: The death rate due to all 10 of the most common causes of death has widened between Republican and Democratic areas.

Just to clarify here, the Mozilla VPN is $4.99/mo, whereas Mullvad (the partner it currently uses) is €5(~$5.91)/mo.

There is no markup, it's actually about 15% cheaper.

Disclaimer: Work for Mozilla but not on the browser core, thoughts are my own, grain of salt, etc.

My understanding is that on Desktop it's much more difficult than it ideally should be.

With that said we've got a pretty solid story being worked on for mobile via GeckoView [1] and Android Components [2], there's a post on the Mozilla Hacks blog about our use of them in Focus [3] and they're also what is being used for building the "next generation" version of Firefox for Android currently code-named Fenix [4][5].

I wouldn't be surprised if there was an effort to get some of the GeckoView work back onto our desktop platforms.

> I'm really excited to see where WebAssembly can go. I know many of these projects will peter out, but it's exciting nonetheless.

Absolutely. On the Lua front someone made a PoC to add Lua as a language for Iodide [1] using Fengari [2] which (while I haven't used it yet) definitely looks interesting. Hadn't heard of Nebulet before but will definitely be following it now. Cheers!

I work with some people who are working on Iodide [1] which is a Jupyter style notebook thing that runs entirely in the browser, they've already ported Python to WebAssembly [2][3] so you can use it as a language.

Anecdotally, my name and an old (albeit valid) address was used in two comments supporting repeal that I did not submit. That is to say, comments that the Emprata analysis would view as "valid" but most definitely were not.

Keychain is a frontend (of sorts) for ssh-agent and ssh-add that helps you keep a single instance of ssh-agent running across login sessions.

That command has some errors, would be better off just forcing the link I'd imagine. No way to check if it works, but...

You're comparing two completely different technologies though, that'd be like me complaining about how we're "so not-winning" with the size and price of SSDs.

Side Note: A 23" monitor purchase is not necessarily a "careless" one, for example the NEC model I use has one of the nicest feature sets for the price (fully adjustable base, IPS panel) but is only available in a 23.1" 1920x1080 version.
