- Comment on Spotify says its best developers haven't written a line of code since December, thanks to AI 4 days ago:

- Comment on Spotify says its best developers haven't written a line of code since December, thanks to AI 4 days ago:
My favourite example of Spotify being shit is:
I want to play an album, so I go to it and press play. Then a bit later I want to queue a second album after the first one is done. How do I do that? As far as I can tell the answer is to go fuck myself. I have start a new queue or playlist with both albums in it.
That’s apart from all the basic software quality stuff like randomly restarting the queue.

- Comment on Valve & AMD Developers Delivered The Most Code Contributions To Mesa In 2025 1 month ago:
For something pretty low level and gigantic, Mesa (or at least RADV) is a pleasure to hack on. It has a great config system (meson), compiles super fast, has lots of debug functionality, and can easily be loaded into e.g. a game, without any system level configuration.

It won’t boot though, because the keys to decrypt the system are stored in the TPM.
Sure you could replace the whole OS, but that’s going to be very obvious and won’t allow you access to the data.
