• Discord has been using ML to determine the gender and age of some of its users

  The beginning of enshitification of discord (while 100% expected) for some reason hits harder then any other service I've used throughout all these years. It has entirely replaced social media for me. It just felt more organic to me then anything else. So... Since I've heard about the ads coming to discord, and I have looked into alternatives. They do exist, in varying quality, and there are programs for some of... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Qilin: A Starter Project Template For Every Open Source Project

  GitHub Discussions can also be a great place for support as long as these are regularly monitored. Another option along the same lines is Discourse and the Open Source Matrix which is used by quite a few Open Source and community-based projects. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• A man has been swatted 47 times for making a joke about Norm Macdonald

  Tangential: the article notes that Telegram is an “encrypted messaging app”. While this is technically true, it's worth keeping in mind that it's not end-to-end encrypted, so it's less secure in that regard than, say, Signal or even WhatsApp. Telegram does have opt-in end-to-end encrypted one-on-one chats, but those are very inconvenient to use. For a properly encrypted chat app, including group chats (opt-in),... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Launching Default End-to-End Encryption on Messenger

  I'd love something like the Matrix [0] data model (JSON messages aggregated in an eventually-consistent chatroom CRDT) transmitted over something like simplex for metadata resistance. [0] https://matrix.org. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Meta is pulling the plug on Messenger chats on Instagram

  Trillian mod here. There's this new thing called Beeper, works on matrix.org. It's not as the good old times, but I'm currently using whatsapp, FB messenger, discord, telegram, signal, imessage and a few more. It's not Cerulean experience, but it's... Slowly improving. Source: 6 months ago

• Building a digital music collection in 2023

  Pretty sure Apple Music still let's you but actual music, and it used to be DRM free so you can download and do as you wish with it. They will relentlessly push the subscription service though. Personally, I buy from https://bleep.com/ , I've been using them for well over a decade, I find it excellent for indie and electronic stuff, and still buy random albums from their recommended section if I want to try... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• finding new music

  Check bleep and watmm for new releases or re-issues I might have missed, then look them up on spotify/bandcamp. Source: 12 months ago

• Best place to find FLAC and other Hi res audio?

  Ah, OK. I think you might as well use those suggested elsewhere in this thread. I sometimes go to Hyperion for classical downloads and Presto also have some high bitrate Jazz and rock available. Some independant physical media sellers also offer hi-res WAVs alongside mail order purchases. I used to buy a lot from bleep.com but I don't know what country you're in so all this advice may be useless. Source: about 1 year ago

• MixTheMusic Alternative?

  Bleep.com have a small selection but they dont make them easy to find. Source: over 1 year ago

• How do you discover new titles ?

  Have you tried external sources? Look into the labels the music you like is released on and see what else they have. Or else go up one level and follow a distributor. That helped when the algorithm got stuck in a recommendation valley for me. Will completely depend on your taste but a crowd like https://bleep.com/ who are very eclectic are great for discovery. Old fashioned things like reviewers help as well once... Source: over 1 year ago
