cdrnsf··on Flock-Powered Police Chiefs Stalking Women Shows Why Warrants Are Needed

A rapid unscheduled financial disassembly.

Ah, now we get to see all the frustrating and predictable ways in which AI will degrade and, ultimately, ruin creative work.
cdrnsf··on VPN ban update for UK households as government looks at 'age-gate'
Anyone who thinks parenting by legislation is a good solution to anything should be neither a parent nor a legislator.
cdrnsf··on Spotify killed the thrill of the hunt
I tend to agree. The less popular an artist the worse the algorithmic recommendations. Trawling last.fm similar artists is a good source of new artists to listen to and the best are tailored recommendations for friends. I have friends that are good for shoegaze and rock recommendations, others for black metal, a few for death metal and grindcore. My favorite band has never had their catalog on streaming and I found them via a recommendation on a forum years ago.

I don't subscribe to _any_ streaming services. All listening is done via a Navidrome server.

I sincerely hope this can all be disabled.

I hope they keep the switch allowing you to disable Apple Intelligence.
cdrnsf··on When AI Builds Itself: Our progress toward recursive self-improvement
They will not be.
cdrnsf··on Trump signs downsized AI order after weeks of reversals
Or if they were intelligent at all.
cdrnsf··on Age verification for social media, the beginning of the end for a free internet?
We've encountered this with things like Minecraft and Roblox and had conversations and suggested alternatives to it. It hasn't proven to be an issue, but I'm holding out hope that these platforms continue to collapse as our kids get older.
cdrnsf··on Age verification for social media, the beginning of the end for a free internet?
I'd like parents to parent and develop a relationship with their kids. Comparing the internet to guns is a stretch.
cdrnsf··on Trump signs downsized AI order after weeks of reversals
Is this legally enforceable or is it nonsense via the White House site instead of Truth Social?
cdrnsf··on Age verification for social media, the beginning of the end for a free internet?
And having the state do it is better?

Right in time to get rich and externalize any fallout.
cdrnsf··on Anthropic confidentially submits draft S-1 to the SEC
We should always talk to humans.
cdrnsf··on Iran stops negotiations with U.S., vows to 'completely' block Strait of Hormuz
I don't think we should consider gross incompetence on the part of the US to be posturing.
cdrnsf··on Last.fm is now independent
There's still a ton of value in the historical recommendations on last.fm's site. What its future looks like, I'm not sure. I'd love to know who is going to operate it now that it is independent.

I'd recommend ListenBrainz for folks interested in similar tracking and some recommendations with clearer ownership.

For my own historical interests, I have a Navidrome plugin writing to my own API and surface charts across time periods by querying the postgres database it writes to.

cdrnsf··on Big tech's anti-labor playbook has come for Wikipedia
But it is safe to trust MechaHitler?
cdrnsf··on Uber president says AI spending is getting 'harder to justify'
This doesn't account for the fact that review is still a bottleneck, engineers understand much less of the code they're shipping and there'll likely be tech debt they'll have to unwind in the future.
cdrnsf··on Iowa to mandate students take Intellectual Freedom classes amid low enrollment
The Republican Party is a big proponent of the freedom to force their speech on everyone — willing audience or not.
cdrnsf··on Trump Mobile exposed customers' personal data
This isn’t surprising. The entire enterprise was a grift to take advantage of gullible adherents to the name.
cdrnsf··on Spotify will start reserving concert tickets for fans
I listen to all of my music via Navidrome. It sits in an S3 bucket that I rclone new albums to.

For concerts, I built a PWA that pulls my Navidrome artists and queries the Ticketmaster API for shows that match within a 75 mile radius once a day. It displays them in a list with their name, the venue/location and a link to buy tickets.

cdrnsf··on We're testing new ad formats in Search and expanding our Direct Offers pilot
I've never bought anything from a search or social media ad. I can't imagine this will change that.
