Can you send me the details on your smart playlist generator? What does it do, comb the music and create a static playlist from the library music based on defined parameters?
Does MPD have a mobile app that I can locally sync the whole library to?
- Comment on Linux Reaches 5% Desktop Market Share In USA 1 day ago:
People who use windows or Mac for anything but development do so for the same reasons as you, they are locked into some features. For example, at home I need a local music library manager with local sync to my phone music app and smart playlists. Mac is still the only platform with this.
At work I need MS exchange integration and all the features of native office. Even the Mac version isn’t good enough for my workflow.
My only hope would be to turn to emulators or something like that, but at that point I’m not really running Linux anyway. I’m just running something else in a container inside Linux.

I heard they can’t actually hold you more than a couple days if you are a citizen./?

Can they really deport a US citizen?
- Comment on Feds in Catalonia, Spain think everyone using a Google Pixel must be a drug dealer 3 days ago:
How can they compel me?
- Comment on Feds in Catalonia, Spain think everyone using a Google Pixel must be a drug dealer 4 days ago:
By luck of birth I’m pale as a ghost, so as long as they don’t unlock my phone and find out what I really think, I should be good.
- Comment on Feds in Catalonia, Spain think everyone using a Google Pixel must be a drug dealer 4 days ago:
I am a non-resident US citizen so I believe it would be more difficult for them to search and hold me without trial or legal representation. But these days anything is possible.

What happens if I turn it back on but don’t unlock it? Are the encryption keys in memory?
- Comment on Feds in Catalonia, Spain think everyone using a Google Pixel must be a drug dealer 4 days ago:
Does a full shutdown encrypt all contents on iOS? This is something that everyone entering the USA as I have to do annually needs to think about.

But fascist really fails to capture the ethnic cleansing part. We really do need a new word to discuss encompass Israeli ethnic cleansing.

The prevalence of Nazis among founders of car makers historically is definitely worth noting. With both Ford and Musk as card carrying members, it’s a definite majority in the USA.

But even rusted iron can be re-smelted, no?

AFAIK metals don’t really go away over time so I would think they would be easy to harvest from the metals that are here today, no?

Maybe if you timed it juuuuuust right you could land somewhere on the planet as it orbits the sun? I mean I guess it depends on how you determine absolute location in the universe. Is that even possible with the universe constantly expanding?

The economy as it in both provides and causes problems, but without the advanced economy we have today the majority of the world’s people would starve to death. And yes, technology can be used to bad ends, but I’ve seen a lot of applications of it and mostly it’s just mundane “getting the job done” stuff that helps everyday people keep functioning.
Yes, there are evil people in my organization, but I feel like I’ve stood up for my principles where it counted. Yes I’ve been demoted for that, and I was much happier afterwards. Someday it may cost me my job, but I will keep losing jobs until I find one where I can be myself.
All things in life are a balance of good and bad, you just have to evaluate whether you are more on the good side or bad side. There are a lot of jobs out there that are just helping people do the stuff they need to get done, generally good. Yes some evil capitalist takes most of the profit and hoards it for their evil purposes, but for me it’s enough to know that I provided things needed by others and helped them to make it through their lives in some small way.

Hence why I’ve been at the bottom of the org chart most of my 30 year career. I moved up one rung once, but after I refused to do some shitty things to people, I ended up moving back down ;-). No regrets.

For me it was enterprise software

I mean every company probably has some bad effect on the world, but there’s also benefit. You have to weight the benefits vs the harm. I don’t feel like I have to be personally evil in my job or that it’s a net negative on society. I think things are better in the world because of my work. Not all things, but better on balance.
