Yep, I still use XMMS. There is also qmmp[1] for a Qt based player. And I think Audacious[2] still has a classic winamp interface, although it's not the default anymore. [1] https://qmmp.ylsoftware.com/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

I love QMMP ( https://qmmp.ylsoftware.com/ ). It is compatible with Winamp Skins, supports network playing (shoutcast) and works pretty well in my Linux Mint installations. I may be old fashioned, but man my brain has got so much "muscle memory" on years and years of Winamp use during the 90s ... I cannot live without stuff like equalizers, visualization plugins, Last.FM scrobbing and even automated track... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

Qmmp is still being developed: https://qmmp.ylsoftware.com/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

So what do you mean by “mess with the algorithm”? And how do you characterize the extreme moderation (AKA censorship) practiced by old Twitter?

The open-sourcing of the X's feed algorithm is a typical Musk's smokescreen. First, while the code was open sourced, the configs and data that determines its behavior wasn't. Any researcher that has some knowledge of the matter will tell you this. Second, that code was last updated in July 2023 [1]. News feed algorithms are updated regularly, especially around the time of US elections [2]. [1] - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

Sure it's open source but that doesn't mean the public repo is in any way up to date. Especially given that the repos only have a handful of commits from the few months after the repos were published and they haven't been updated in well over a year. https://github.com/twitter/the-algorithm. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
