Yes, I can hear you, Clem Fandango!

  • He really just wants to kill the economy and tourism, huh?

    It's not like there aren't millions of average white collar workers worldwide who have to travel to Big Blue Cities for conferences because that's where all the major businesses are.

    Nobody is flying to fucking Jackson or Biloxi in Mississippi for fucking conferences and business deals.

    It's going to be aimed at places like NYC, LA, Seattle, Boston, and Portland. It's going to cripple international business and tourism. And like always it won't do a damn thing to help red states.

  • Yep, it's still called scrobbling. I have very old tracks in my history that don't have any timestamps because of the imperfect database changeover when they went from Audioscrobbler to Last.fm. I found that out when exporting my scrobbles to use elsewhere and noticed that my earliest scrobbles weren't actually pulling timestamps at all, and it was defaulting to them all played on the same day at the same time.

  • I don't know why I don't always assume that there's lore for it already, as a more casual Trek fan.

  • When it comes to two dicks I always have to wonder if they're both specialized for different things and that's why there's two. Like it seems a little silly that they're both for pissing out of, when one could be the piss dick and the other could be the sex dick or who knows. Because things like that don't evolve for nothing, there must be something about two of them that helps them survive where their single-donged-brethren did not.

  • So wait... Is a quadri-testicle like just 4 testicles or is it 4 ballsacks with 2 testicles each for a total of 8?

  • I was just looking for a most self-hosty and privacy respecting solution initially. I will keep running it alongside Last.fm in case there's a reason I need to dump Last.fm or if I decide I don't want my listening habits on a public site.

    EDIT: To be more clear, I have no issues with Listenbrainz at all, I just wanted to self-host.

  • Nah, I find new music via Bandcamp and piracy sites (which I used to check out music and then buy the stuff I really enjoy and will listen to a lot from Bandcamp).

  • I actually somehow have kept mine going strong for over 20 years now. I even have some early tracks from before they changed how the system worked that don't have any timestamps from when they got moved from the old system to the new (which was about early/mid 2005).

    From about 2014 to 2016 I was having trouble finding listening solutions that actually consistently scrobbled to Last.fm but then got it working again by 2017. I think 2017 is when I paid for a Plex Lifetime pass (back when it was like $90 and not... $750) and that was also the year the Plexamp came out and worked with Last.fm scrobbling. I've used Plexamp since.

    Also, for my 20 year anniversary I successfully listened to more music in 2025 than I had listened to in one year on 20 years. Worth it, it was fun.

  • Holy shit.

    I have been struggling with a not-quite-perfect scrobbling setup between Maloja and Multi-Scrobbler because I was trying to slowly move away from Last.fm because of lack of trust in ownership.

    If they can pull this off and truly be independent again, I will actually stop moving away from them for a while.

  • Interesting, I wonder why the choice to remove blog spot dot com specifically, this is actually the first time I have ever seen a "removed" from this instance, which is why I assumed at first it must be remote (also I had just woken up). Now that I'm more awake I realize, you're right, it must be my instance. Maybe I'll ask my admin sometime if there's a reason why they block that phrase.

  • Whatever the last part of the link is it is getting caught in the content filter and being replaced with "removed".

    Can anyone actually share the actual end of the link without triggering the content filter?

  • I was surprised cancer can get cancer.

  • You might be surprised to find out that atheism is probably over-represented here on Lemmy and is probably the dominant "belief" as opposed to traditional religion.

    One aspect of this is that you'll see that religion in general is not exactly well respected among the userbase. You might just want to alter your expectations, because it's not anti-catholicism as much as it is anti-religion in general.

    Source: Am atheist. All religions are fucking stupid and holding humanity back. Sorry not sorry.

  • Currently the rest of the stock market is essentially held up by 7 companies.

    https://oriongemini.substack.com/p/the-number-is-going-up

    Tier 1 — Magnificent Seven / Mega-Cap: Up 75–100%+ over five years. Cash-rich near-monopolies trading on AI futures. Effectively function as quasi-sovereign entities. Collectively hold over $420 billion in cash.Tier 2 — Rest of S&P 500: Up 50–60%. Piggybacking on the giants through index weighting. Solid balance sheets but increasingly dependent on AI-adjacent demand.Tier 3 — Russell 2000: Up roughly 17%. The “one percent of the losers.” Struggling but kept alive by access to public capital markets. 40–44% unprofitable. Facing a $709 billion refinancing wall in 2026–2027.Tier 4 — Private Middle Market: Flat to declining. Consolidating from roughly 200,000 to 125,000 firms over two decades (RSM). Margin-squeezed by tariffs and input costs. RSM MMBI showing fragility.Tier 5 — Main Street / Small Private Business: Fighting to exist. No access to Wall Street capital. Absorbing inflation that large firms pass through to customers. NFIB Optimism Index showing persistent fragility.
