Me, too. I don’t know why. I assume TechCrunch deleted the 2003 article, but that shouldn’t impact a snapshot.

TechCrunch has that article tagged as “evergreens”, which I think is their code for “we can probably get away with reposting this later and pretending it’s brand new.”

Case in point, this article was published in 2023.

I love this thread. It’s like a quick list for who to block.

This is by far the largest music metadata database that is publicly available. For comparison, we have 256 million tracks, while others have 50-150 million. Our data is well-annotated: MusicBrainz has 5 million unique ISRCs, while our database has 186 million.

Does this mean the MusicBrainz database will soon go from 5 million to 186 million tracks?

If you don’t need lyrics, try tabletoprpgmusic.com.

I filtered by “fantasy”, “forest”, and “mystery” and got The Feywild Manor, which sounds like a decent match to your descriptors.

I don’t think Stoat will ever have a realistic chance of usurping Discord

Agreed. My comment is for the many users who would leave but can’t because “all my friends are here”.

We wouldn’t have this problem if Discord and Stoat were federated (I know it’s not on their roadmap).

So the next best thing is bridge bots.

We need bots that connect your Stoat (hate that name) to your Discord account, so you can still message the people who refuse to leave.

That’s how Facebook stole users from MySpace back in the day™.

And if you have seen any, you can block them and they actually go away.

Instead of a placebo “stop seeing this ad” button.

Do I feel bloated when I take on all this water weight?

At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus…

Thanks for the archive link.

Ah, homework.

The #1 method for persuading the kiddos.

100% they should. Live your dream, Science Team.

Because the steps for Xitter were :

1. Want a Xitter
2. Go to Xitter
3. Create an account
4. Enjoy(?) Xitter

Even one extra step that adds friction can lead to you just not doing the thing.

Mega-corpos spend billions to reduce the number of steps to your wallet, because they make it back tenfold.

Update: 8 hours later, no change.

Update: Yep, still nothing.

I’ll check again after 24 hours to see if Lemmy does anything.

The Linux Experiment showed content, but Coffeezilla and Louis Rossman show empty for some reason.

although they can probably mitigate the effects by moving to one of their 500 houses that’s in a safe zone

That’s why they don’t care.

Climate change hits the poorest first and hardest (see: hurricanes in the Caribbean and SEA).

Billionaires can fly in, enjoy the sunshine, fly out and not get a drop of water on their skin.

And they’ll keep “outrunning” climate change on an individual level, and only feel it when it hurts their net worth*.

We still have those?

I thought they all went into tech*.

If you’re not concerned about them starting to require that you use Synology-branded hard drives, then :

For most Synology services/apps, we do not collect data on what you store or what you do with your files. We generally only collect statistical data on what packages are installed and which functionality is used. This helps us keep track of what features are important or popular. Purely statistical data is not linked to your account and does not include Personal Identifiable Information (PII). (Source: the other forum)

They’re not asking whether it’s literally true.

They’re asking why it feels like there’s less.

That’s a subjective, but still valid question.
