Glad Happy we are in agreement :)
And no worries about the missunderstanding ;)

But you arent a dev as a main job.
This is talking about developers, employed as developers, beginning to being inept to be developers and (not offense) being not worth much more than what your technical abbilities already provide.
So what’s their point?

It’s like someone being employed as a translator, is able to hear the language and sort of understand it but every translation is done through deepL or google translate.
So why should I a translator instead of using paid deepL directly and proofread it using google translate to make sure it didnt generate (mostly) nonsense?
Isnt this mostly the point of a trained professional to being better than a self taught amateur?

IMO that’s totally fine and appropriate

For those unable to code without AI:
What even is your contribution outside of a glorified typing monkey that can parse code but is unable to write it?
It’s like a paramedic not being trained at all for a medical emergency response but sent there regardless to just stand and observe the patient while writing notes about the sounds they make while dying.

AI for the surveillance state.
Sort of like the center point of skynet.
Soon there will be heavily armed autonomous mechs walking the perimeter shooting everything organic within 100m the property border

Hm…
The fact that they are able to list all artists on a scrollable page speaks for the amount of artists on there.

Neat thing but very niche. Even more than bandcamp and not many indies I follow are even posting on that :/
Hope they (subvert as well as bandcamp) will become bigger in the future.
Gonna bookmark it for sure :)

Let’s be a bit cynical and devils advocate:
How will they finance the marketplace if no one will give off a cut to the platform and everything to the artist?

IMO the bandcamp day is the better compromise, but maybe increase the days (because I think they are a monthly thing, right?) to 2-4 times a month instead.

Does you argument also apply to Wikipedia and Musicbrainz?
They are both open (Musicbrainz is even public domain) and you can download the entirety of the database
Both are crowdsourced pieces of knowledge

To a lesser degree, you can also get the data of TMDB with some workarounds (example: developer.themoviedb.org)
So they arent exactly locked into their knowledge vault and can be downloaded daily just in case of a bail/bait and switch

This feels like a shoehorned approach.
IMO the way musicbrainz solves it, is a good approach.

Off all things I don’t want to be monetized, they can monetize my uptime-kuma and *arr alarms whatever they are worth.

They can’t hold it hostage if they are essentially the country.

Discogs is inferior to musicbrainz in terms of information.
To me it’s only value is the market place (which is very good)

Not everything needs to be fediverse.

Anyway, TMDB and TVDB are potential rivals

De hell is “Eigenvalues”??

Mhmm…The amount that is used in jpop is way bigger.

Of the top of my head I mainly see bilingual english speakers (like spanish/mexican) that use maybe some spanish word sprinkled inbetween.
Meanwhile jpop can sometimes be 10% (and more) english in the lyrics.

Google doesnt have the cult following trump has.

Sorry but are those 60000 as in 60k with a unusual (non western (EU)) decimal?

Enterprise wants it to be managable in case of loss or theft.
Security is a nice to have.

Both in use.
Why be exclusive with it if you can get the best of both worlds

spot-dl is Youtube (yt-dlp).
