>>107844853Not on RED but pretty sure this is a large enough library to let me give advice.Use Lidarr, it will associate MBIDs with tracks, tag and rename them automatically. Copy on Write/reflinks would probably be helpful for saving space, you can set your torrent client to delete stuff after it's done seeding too. Music/Artist/Album (year) works for me.Navidrome is pretty good albeit simple -probably why it's so good. For desktop I haven't found a great, Tempus (foss) or Symfonium (paid) on Android, I don't use anything else but navidrome has a client list page. https://www.navidrome.org/apps/I used to use Finamp for Jellyfin music on Android, I switched to Navidrome because I wanted star & favorite ratings, but Finamp was far and away the best music player.

Has AI produced anything good other than AlphaFold?
>>107846134Alpha fold wasn't even "good." It promised to deliver the world in protein folding prediction and has resulted in basically nothing of substance.
>>107847176Unfortunately, you're not actually learning anything. You will see this the moment you try and use your AI generated "skills" in the real world. There is no shortcut to success or learning. If you think you can speed up the process, it's because you're being tricked into thinking you have a better understanding of the problem than you actually do.
working on my picross game, was gonna make a tool from scratch to solve a puzzle of any size, making sure it's both logically sound and with no repeatable solutionsdecided to give GPT 5.2 a whirl instead and it one shot the whole web app in about 30 seconds. looked really nice and was surprised how good the UI/UX was as well
>>107846134It's helped me learn a ton of mathematics that I wasn't able to get back during my student days. I've also made some images I like with it, and finally could try out various small programming project ideas that would otherwise not been worth the effort. That's not to mention science contributions like AlphaFold.
>>107847244I literally learned how to make homemade antennas that I could repeat anywhere. I have one in my backyard now.

If you want a tablet and also want to draw, should you get an iPad or a Samsung tablet?
>>107843680My original post was about general tabletting. I recently got Lenovo y700 to replace my aging 11 inch iPad pro. Hell, even lightroom is unoptimized shit from a phone. So instead an ultra portable PC I got an overpriced manga reader. The whole productivity category is nonexistent on android. For drawings and shit I think there is nothing that beats procreate. Easy, fast and amazing interface. But if you're not that serious anything with any pen will do.

Android tablets have made progress, but they still aren't touching the iPad for creative use.
IPS or OLED?
>>107839489I mean mine has it but it's not commonplace.>>107841460It's been a feature on TVs and phones for a long time, it's only desktop monitors that are lagging behind. And it is strange because even normies these days know about "low eye strain" monitors. >>107841488Yes even my old TV from 2012 had an ambient light sensor, it's just desktop monitors that don't have one for the most part.
Anti OLED jeets are insane>in every thread with the same pictures>accusing others of being paid shills>seething about burn in>seething about nits>seething about flicker>I had an OLED and it burned in (never posts pics of it)Imagine having such a sad life
>>107843477Oh yeah, didn't even notice that 'typo'. I was just smiling at the irony of a thread about organic LEDs being called inorganic.
I would usually say OLED all the way, but now that G-Sync Pulsar is a thing, I'm not so sure anymore OLED bros...
>Have OLED>Use it for work>Probably 1k hours or something idk. >Very noticeable browser burn in from browserIt's not unexpected, but don't let the retard, coping anons here tell you that OLED monitors don't get burned in at all. They do, and they will. I only bought mine because I can easily replace the screen at no charge.

Uncensored alternatives to this shit?
Gitgud.io if you want to host something edgy, imageboard-related, or a porn game, and it's probably one of those three if you ask for uncensored alternatives.
>>107837622Depends what you need. If you just need source control, issues, and documentation publishing, run a Fossil instance. It'll let you keep all that under your direct control.It's up to you what you put in it. If it's stuff which governments want to censor, you'll have to deal with the consequences eventually, ngl.

I keep seeing videos about people wanting to switch to Linux. Is this a trend now among normies, or am I just being fed shit by YouTube's algorithm? Have you heard of any non-tech users switching to Linux, or did you help someone switch?
>>107847015Even normies are getting tired of windows 11 most of them are using mint and bazzite and cachyos. Most of them know nothing of gnu and fsf and the principles of foss or really anything about anything they just know that windows 11 sucks and Linux plays games now.
>>107847015My kids only know Linux.
What was the most disturbing thing you've found on the dark web?
>>107834212Again, that is not for-profit snuff. It's not even snuff (suicides happen but as far as I know they're not even recorded on video), and the motive is sadism, not profit (your 'pretty sure' is completely baseless). Also, 764 exists entirely on the clearnet, again showing how the clearnet is much more vile than any darknet.
>>107839062Not necessarily, but going 'akshualy' about the terms and then being flat out wrong is plain tech illiteracy and implies he doesn't just not know the terms for the concepts, he doesn't understand the concepts themselves.

>>107847032>t.2mw
how do i start working everyday?
>>107847032I feel dread of having to maintain all this slop while my coworkers get lazier and lobotomized.
Before 2024, slop like this was almost non-existant. There were actual genuine people interested about programming. There used to be threads and actual discussions with depth around software. Now all of that, poof, gone. just like that. Most of my favorite people I used to enjoy interacting with have left this platform. And what we have now? Engagement farmers advocating typescript with `any`. This used to be proper and useful app where people liked sharing what they are thinking and doing. Good big brands used to be on Twitter. Now it’s an empty shell, collapsing inward with a muted scream.
>>107846587You are so right OP — shame the others can't value your wisdom.
>>107846587>twitter>being good at any point everNo, fuck off. All social media is cancer and Twitter is, by far, the worst of them all. I was hoping Musk would run it into the ground after the acquisition, but, unfortunately, he wasn't up to the task.
>>107846587Kill yourself. You can't even make a thread on your own without copying Twitter troons. Kill yourself. You can't stop polluting this site with xitter trashKill yourself. You will never be a real woman. Kill yourself.
Typescript is trash
You’re not imagining it. The shift isn’t subtle—it’s structural. What used to be a space for people thinking out loud has been optimized into a space for people performing for metrics. When incentives change, behavior follows.Programming discourse especially suffers because it doesn’t compress well into engagement bait. Nuance, tradeoffs, and long-form reasoning don’t survive in an ecosystem that rewards speed, absolutism, and hot takes. So instead of “here’s why this works and where it breaks,” we get “just use any lol” packaged for reach.Most of the people who cared about depth didn’t get louder—they got tired. They moved to smaller communities, private discords, blogs, or just stopped broadcasting altogether. What’s left looks like consensus, but it’s mostly absence.The platform isn’t dead because people stopped caring about software. It’s hollow because the people who did care were pushed out by an environment that no longer values thought—only motion.
