"strike a balance between expediting rebuilding and public safety". Wait what? So, public safety is actually something that can be balanced against... development contractors? So many pretenses have been dropped in the past year and t real US is now out in plain view.

German media: AfD wins some 20% (more than SPD) and here is the line-up of possible coalitions they list: Not a single mention of the AfD. #danke

I have a pretty rare CD. Its only entry on Discogs was from my copy. The only copy on YouTube was from my copy. The only information I had was in the notes, and there was a hidden track. (I share if people want) MusicBrainz had the info. That database is legit. musicbrainz.org/release/8b63...

Apologies in advance for sharing a LinkedIn post but today is my 15th anniversary on the board of the @metabrainz.org Foundation. 2025 is also the 25th anniversary of MusicBrainz and I wanted to write something celebrating open source in music technology. www.linkedin.com/posts/matthe...

With swasticar sales plunging, I wonder: What happens should the company go out of business? Do all the cars get bricked and stop working, like an old tech app abandoned by a dead tech company?

Red state alcohol is currently being removed at B.C. Liquor store in Victoria. #bcpoli

DeepSeek only spent $6M to train their network? I didn't believe it yesterday and today.... Still, they are making some serious ripples in the industry, for which I am happy. www.theguardian.com/business/liv...

Some resistance is shoring up: wefightback2025.org Sadly, they are about 25 years too late. Who is going to tell them that all three branches of government are run by the baddies? And that government has no emergency override. You can't fight them. Your inaction cost you your democracy.

Proof of the AI bubble: Chinese company claims to have spent $6M on a new AI and everyone loses their shit. Since when did you start believing the Chinese? Rational thought is currently not possible.

Happiness is a sorted LED collection. There is a serious amount of blink in this organizer!

They shall henceforth be referred to as swasticars by me too. 😂

Egypt bribes trump with $10M: www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio... Most foreign aid stopped: edition.cnn.com/2025/01/24/p... But not for Isreal (duh). And... drumroll..... Egypt! But seriously, WWIII is around the corner with such a globally destabilizing move. #werefucked

Another shitty president and people are sharing bits of what the law can and can't do. That's nice! Sadly, utterly useless since the rule of law is now history. From now, the law does whatever it wants. The time to take action would've been... during the Nixon administration.

With the last shadow of doubt removed, my mother, who warned me about Nazis and war.... voted for the Nazis.

Wow, its looking bad out there. I'm going to bed before something gives me nightmares. News in the morning will be "fun" for sure. FSM have mercy on us!

Oh please oh please oh please, waste another $44B of your stupid money, #fucktard. Too bad, we could solve much hunger and homelessness for that, but whatevs, right?

New year, back to the routine, back to music! #listenbrainzmonday

@listenbrainz.org's Year in Music is freaking great -- so much better than other reviews on the net: listenbrainz.org/user/rob/yea...

I've been out of the Microsoft ecosystem for over 20 years now and every once in a while I have to go back and use a M$ website. What. A. Shit. Show. Doesn't work under firefox. Kinda works on Chrome. Only really works on Windows. I see, literally nothing has changed.

Today Spotify took away some API endpoints, leaving a lot of developers in the lurch. @listenbrainz.org has APIs and datasets that help mitigate this pain. Read more here news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4226...

Well, I pulled the trigger and have decided to stop using my Ecks account and be done with the hate and drama. Onwards and upwards!

Rain. It is finally raining 🌧️ in Barcelona. Please keep it up for a month or two!

And the ListenBrainz cover art collage that I created from all the cover art released in 2023 is now up: listenbrainz.org/explore/cove...

ListenBrainz' Year in Music reports have dropped: listenbrainz.org/user/rob/yea... Our reports are so much more detailed than Spotify wrapped. Nor do they make your eyes bleed .🤩

We've been working hard on @listenbrainz.bsky.social for years now and users are finally taking note. All this gets much better with more users!

I'm going to make an effort to post more here to help send X to its grave. #riptwitter
