I only have three requests of the Democratic Party moving forward:
1. Acknowledge the gravity of the situation without apology. Call Trump a Fascist, call Republicans Nazis. Their promises alone warrant it.
2. Mobilize now to energize voters to vote for you again in the Midterms and beyond, but with something other than Neoliberalism or just "not being Nazis".
3. If you can't do 1 or 2, get out of the way. Not being Trump clearly wasn't enough to for Hillary or Kamala, so put up or shut up.
Actually, no, this looks like a real effort to come back online. I think I'm just getting different responses from different endpoints on their CDN right now.
Fingers crossed that the collections are coming back today. I have really missed the Archive!
Er, that was short lived. Getting the error page again. At least it's clear that they're trying!
@internetarchive looks like it's bringing its collections back online!
Recently, a Dutch hacker found a vulnerability allowing him to shut down 4 million solar power installations. A handful of mostly non-European places manage perhaps 100 GW of solar power in the EU. Any mishap there, or heaven forbid, a compromise, could easily shut down so much power that the European electricity grid would collapse. Shockingly, we regulate these massive control panels as if they are online birthday calendars. And that must change. https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/the-gigantic-unregulated-power-plants-in-the-cloud/
#Github is down entirely. That's fun.
We've already had the biggest IT outage ever, and the biggest PII leak ever this year, I guess we're on a roll.
Behold, an level of #enshittification you never dreamed was possible. A PC Mouse with a subscription fee: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/07/logitech-has-an-idea-for-a-forever-mouse-thatrequires-a-subscription/
Amarok on Linux Mobile with Jellyfin integration would be a fantasy scenario. I have no idea if that is realistic though.
I am actually quite excited about the return of @kde's #Amarok media player. It was my media player of choice in the mid-2000's and made it possible for me to sync my iPod up to the music library on my Linux desktop.
I'm currently a #Strawberry user, but I have always missed Amarok.
3.0.1 (beta) is out now. There's definitely work to be done, but I should consider reading up on KDE's Testing/QA process to see if there's anything I can do to help.
Fond memories of the Windows XP days, running through the PCs at Best Buy, opening Windows Media Player, playing "Like Humans Do" by David Byrne which was included with every copy of Windows, cranking the volume all the way up, and fullscreening the visualizer.
Those were excellent days. It's a shame it was before smartphones, because I would probably have a video of this.
Just renewed my Sustainer membership with @calyxinstitute.
I don't know how I would survive without my little uncapped, unthrottled 5G hotspot.
I mostly work from home, and especially as the weather gets nice, it's invaluable to be able to go anywhere with my laptop and still get connected. No need to stare out the window on a sunny day wondering when I can end my day and go outside. I can just do my job at the park.
Looking to spice my kitchen up.
What's a local (USA) food product that you can't live without, that can be bought online (Nationwide or beyond)?
Mine is "Hot Jawn" hot sauce, made in Central District Seattle, where I live. It's $10 and it goes great on everything: https://www.allthejawns.com/
I have already done a little bit of analytics on the data, and found ~600,000 unique tracks. Looks like there's maybe 5% junk data just looking at random samples.
Every play is timestamped, so I suppose I could do some year-by-year breakdowns of what #KEXP played most. I have 2006-2023 fully captured in JSON format.
It is also classified by show, but I haven't figured out the key for the show IDs yet. Could have fun with that data, which also looks to be available via the API.
