The closest alternative that I've found to Plexamp is MusicAssistant. It's still really rough around the edges as a full replacement. For example: Smart playlists are lacking and/or don't work at all; "Recently Added Albums" goes by file modified time and not when it was actually _added_ (and they fought me on this saying I'm wrong that it doesn't seem right)

> Everything about marketyour.games is modern

I can't read any of the text on that page other than the headings. Is that what makes it modern? I assume the stack mentioned in the blog post is vibe-slop as well.

That site design is definitely a choice.

My work Slack channels are ghost-towns. People are logged in, but they're never saying anything. I often find myself wondering if anyone is even working. PRs have their names on them, even the review comments are posted from _their_ accounts, but it is obvious that Claude wrote everything from the code, the unnecessarily verbose change summary, to their comments. Even their replies to my change requests start with "You're right — …".

I miss the days when the engineering Slack channels had long threads of new and interesting ways to do things, discussions of something we could do next to make work easier or fix long-standing issues. We used to build up our own knowledge of who was good at specific things, what they'd be interested in working on. Now everyone just has their slop-machine spit out every piece of a change for the entire stack without paying any attention to the details.

If only it were so simple to block all of my coworkers.

The article you linked is about social media as the proxy for information discovery as opposed to search.

> …clear that mobile is the future…

And also, "mobile" is tangential to "app" vs "website".

I really wish this weren't the case, but I'm afraid that we're heading to a place where if we flood reports to officials, they'll just jump on calling bike lanes "DEI" and take them out.

Four of them were regarding AI/Copilot. So that's really just one long running incident and will probably continue to be 50/50 chance of being down.

I also like that the article uses whatever system emoji you have, so everything is just showing apple emoji in text for me. All I see are a few 3D video renders of theirs.

Can someone explain the actual use-case here? I'm struggling with this because it also hides the message from myself, making it incredibly hard to type because I have no confirmation that I hit the right keys on the keyboard.

Also some instructions. I had no idea what I was supposed to do at first.

`git history split` is really going to help me help juniors break up their large PRs into smaller more concise changes. If only it had the option to split an entire branch in two easily.

I closed the page and gave up figuring out what this was about because of the poor contrast ratio and tiny font.

[edit] apparently the contrast ratio is technically okay. But this is one of those cases where raw contrast ratio isn't actually a good measure of accessibility. Just because some text has 5.92:1 contrast ratio, doesn't mean that at 11px font-size it's legible.
