Borges mentioned. Amazing writer.

I’ve seen Strawberry mentioned a lot but I’m definitely not a fan of its looks haha. Gapless on the other hand looks pretty sleek. It’s a bit less intuitive perhaps but I might give it a shot

Thanks for this tip also, will check it out

Quod Libet looks great, thanks! Probably going to go with this one. Looks pretty similar to Rhythmbox and also does #3 from my list

Seems promising, thanks! I don’t care about song position, just that it remembers which song.

Oh man good memories from Simpsons Hit & Run, this is awesome!

Just pointing out that these 2 are not necessarily contradicting statements. Just because it hasn’t taken any jobs yet, doesn’t mean it won’t take any in the next 10 years. Not that I really want to believe those numbers though. But yeah as others have pointed out, these studies need to be taken with a grain of salt.

Boyz n the hood (1991). I knew very little about it beforehand and it turned out way better than I anticipated. Tough one but worth watching.

Just yesterday I came across some Sora generated memes and damn, it was obviously fake (to me) but it looked so real, I am sure some people out there will totally believe this stuff. Misinformation is going to get wild

Been having similar case with dev teams who have coded every error to be 500. User typed the wrong URL? 500. User tried to access a page without logging in? 500… Makes detecting real errors a pain

I once read the first 3 chapters of the Git book and my coworkers think I’m some kind of Git wizard

When I was a kid I encountered this problem when I wondered what would happen if I half-empty a bottle of soda, re-fill it with water, and repeat. Will it eventually become just water or will there always be some soda left? It boggled my mind for a while, then I forgot about it until I reached university calculus haha

Reading it in Spanish is a pain in the ass even for a native speaker, book is from the 1600s so you can imagine the language is really different to what it is today. I imagine there must be some version in “current language”, but in school we were told to read the original and it was a pain, didn’t get past the first quarter then and never tried reading it again

Just a .txt file on my laptop

I was skeptic beforehand but actually I think it turned out pretty good

I mean you can set it so that only your friends see your posts. And they are French so I suppose they at least follow GDPR. But yeah, of course it collects your data and all that stuff like all social media

Haven’t used Skype for years to talk to friends or family, but kept using it until now when I needed to call some place in my home country (usually banks) by “real” phone call, because support via internet either sucks or doesn’t exist at all. Now looking for alternatives…

I have mixed feelings about that company. They have some interesting things “going against the flow” like ditching the cloud and going back to on prem, hating on microservices, advocating against taking money from VCs, and now hiring juniors. On the other hand, the guy is a Musk fanboy and they push some anti-DEI bullshit. Also he’s a TypeScript hater for some reason…

“Buying storage and compute services from Lidl” is a wild sentence I never thought I’d say haha

“I fixed the problem by putting /* eslint-disable */ at the top of a file”
