@kneath Thanks, I’ll have to give that a shot
I’ve been using Albums with Apple Music recently but I’m trying to get back into local files (unfortunately lost my mp3 collection in an HDD failure)
We’ve had middling success having Sonos stream from Plex. Either it works or it doesn’t, but mostly doesn’t.
Also, if you’re into audiobooks with Plex, I highly recommend Prologue https://prologue.audio/
@nasser everything old is new again
@kneath it _used_ to be a decent product, once upon a time
Are you using Plex with it? I haven’t gotten mine to work reliably
it’s been over 20 years since I started working with code on the regular, I’ve worked in over 15 languages using Textmate, Vim, Emacs, Atom, VSCode, and Zed,
but today I am working with a lisp (fennel) in a terminal editor (kakoune) creating code for a fantasy computer (TIC80) and thanks to some great tooling it still feels magical
@jepyang I try to avoid them for the texture
this is the funniest thing slack's done since they rebranded themselves as a tool for remote work, despite years of "no-one gets remote work at slack"
when I worked for Slack’s owner, they repeatedly drilled into us that their number one value was trust – that customers could trust the company would treat their data with the sancitity they would themselves
I guess it’s now “trust that the company will do whatever the fuck it wants with your data” https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/112453073300903901

@janl we live in the stupidest timeline
I’m half-tempted to find a great date/time handling library in a compile-to-wasm language and just make a wasm wrapper around it
@janl their doc site doesn’t respond to clicks in my Safari because they’re using google analytics to intercept clicks and the general attitude about that seems to be “use chrome lol”
@Jbasoo thanks, spacetime looks like it can do the kinds of things I need
I’m half-tempted to find a compile-to-wasm language with a good library and make a wasm module out of it
so I found “date-fns” which describes itself as “lodash for dates” but its doucmentation is literally unusable in browsers other than stock Chrome

#WordPress really didn't do anyone any favours by making EVERYTHING a post and stuffing everything into the Posts table.
I don't know how they talked themselves into the idea that Media uploads are 'posts' but this is really bad architecture.
(Coming from someone trying to do some fancy migrating of media.)
Two thoughts:
1. Folks could design and market these ML tools around the idea of •identifying patterns• (the thing machine learning is actually good at) instead of •providing answers•. Pure fantasy at this point; too much collective investor mania around the wet dream of the magic answer box. Just noting that a better choice is on the table.
@inthehands I’ve often described reading code as a sort of mental quantum execution of said code; you have to simultaneously explore all of its possible pathways, hidden in flow control branches, types, etc, and that’s why it’s so hard. It *seems* like something a machine could help with
javascript people: does anyone have a date/time library they prefer for heavy lifting? I’ve gotten frustrated enough with Luxon (successor to Moment) to move on
I need to be able to do some heavy lifting with this, almost but not quite on the scale of what joda-time / java 8’s time library allows. I don’t need custom chronologies or calendars, but do need a library that doesn’t constantly patronize me by thinking it knows more about my use cases than I do
@wesdottoday we’ve been a one-car family since shortly after getting married, but I love walking & cycling. I have an ebike, work from home, and it’s been fine so far.
Our kid is 8 now and doing more extracirricular stuff and we’ve been looking for a smallish EV for a second car for in-town stuff so my partner can get more involved in some of the stuff she’s doing, but it seems the best bet for those is a specific year of Nissan Leaf, the demand for which has made it not feasible
I create software, music, artwork, and cynicismI deal w/: late diagnosis #ADHD, #Dysthymia, #AuditoryProcessingDisorder, #CPTSD; chronic tinnituscis/straight male, parent in a neurospicy householdI get caremad about how humans & computers interact, and by habit think a lot about systems design & 2nd+ order consequencesI used to paint with pigment & light; these days I paint with sound
