Exciting times, they really messed up with 10.11.x shipped half baked DB refactoring

And the images too! I've been trying to fill in images for artists big in that time period and it's just sad.

The fact MySpace "accidentally" deleted all their pictures a few years ago is such a loss to internet history. Try looking for images for any music artist that was around during peak MySpace but not now.

Sure its a catalog of your local media served via an API, with metadata enrichment, built in transcoding (hardware support too) and multiple user support (watch history, recommendations etc).

Its not just a web app, I would say most dont use the web app directly, instead they provide clients (Android/iOS/Roku/AndroidTV/WebOS/Tizen) that are in official app stores. This is the big thing for me, being able to just install the client on your TV and not worry about it is great.

Often the clients are just wrappers of the web client with native integrations, but they work well.

Plus there are loads of 3rd party plugins to extend it, and alternate clients, Im a fan of https://github.com/jeffvli/feishin for music duties personally.

I wouldn't go so far as efforts, so much as legally required publication of 3rd party code they use, or open wrappers to their proprietary libraries

Or .. their operating system and kernels

I've moved over to ListenBrainz, it's quite nice and I like that the data is open and not trying to be monitized

Ive noticed every vibecoded website looks the same, or similar to this one.

Why is it? Does this style have a name?

It is mostly Vercel's design language.

This is interesting to see and shows the beauty of open source: if you want GTK2 to be alive, you can put in the effort to revive it.

This being Devuan it is driven by those pesky Debian devs removing GTK2

The announcement[0] has a quite long list of packages still using it.

Was so refreshing to read some human generated content

I miss the golden age of blogs.

Hard to tell if this is so hard to read because it is LLM generated, or because its is hollow "thought leadership" with no insight.

Unsure if there is no astroturfing rule for HN, but this is pretty blatant.
