Radicle, Tangled, etc are the future of forges!

What is the revenue model for Tangled? This is why ATProto stuff worries me, the AppView is expensive to host and no one has created a paid service yet to achieve sustainability.

I don't see any revenue streams, just VC funding. Which raises all kinds of red flags.

Was this article written entirely by Claude for the most part? It definitely reads like it was.

No

404 continues to do great work.

I've had an LG tv for a couple years. I was previously able to use LG's THINQ app on my phone like a remote to operate the tv. A couple days ago I went in the app to use the remote and the feature had been totally locked behind the "access local networks & devices" permission... This permission was never needed in the past 3 years yet now it's necessary for the same functionality.

So, I disconnected the TV from the internet, uninstalled the app, and bought an Apple TV 3rd gen. LG TV quality is great but their software is unbearable.

Wouldn't it make sense for a remote control to need to access local network & devices? Like, without this permission, the only way the controller would work is through a cloud service, so I would personally be pretty happy to discover the app requests this permission, as it would likely mean the app will keep working when LG inevitably shuts down their cloud server...

You're giving a lot of charity to LG. They're probably trying to fingerprint people with the extra permissions

I am surprised it wasn't needed till now. This needs a lan connection and definitely will need access to local networks.

I love last.fm with all my being. I recently created a ListenBrainz (same org as MusicBrainz) account which is an open source alternative that you don’t have to host yourself. I’m scrobbling to both places now just in case.

Check out tapmusic.net too to make cool diagrams out of your scrobbled music.

I'm using selfhosted multi scrobbler [0] to scrobble to lfm, listenbrainz, and selfhosted koito [1].

Maybe not super useful, but fun ;) when at home, I scrobble to MS which distributes the data, when I have no VPN active on the go, I scrobble to last.fm only, which then gets used as source by MS as well, to redistribute it to the others.

libre.fm is also back at it!

Doesn't look like Tapmusic supports ListenBrainz; does it?

Then again, if all it does is collages, then ListenBrainz has a tool for that of its own.

tapmusic.org is currently parked by GoDaddy. Looks like you meant tapmusic.net

I had to look this up. That is absolutely insane…

John Carreyrou's book "Bad blood" is extremely good. Full of suspense, amazing revelations. I highly recommend it. It explores a lot of Elizabeth Holmes' and Sunny Balwani's insanity.

If you don't have time for the book, there's a decent documentary available

I was looking to setup Proxmox for my homelab soon but this comment got me interested in Incus. Mostly because I've never heard of any Proxmox alternatives before this. You can try out Incus in your browser here: https://linuxcontainers.org/incus/try-it/

The demo does take ~10m to get into a working instance.

Their site might be getting hugged, even the non-demo page is taking ages to load.

Would've been an auto-buy at $500. Looks cool though I hope they have success

Absolutely. I love it.
