Bah! Tab “hoarding” is part of my workflow and it works great with the right tooling in place: FF with sidebury, containers, and suspender extensions. Panels for 8 high level topics with a set of 10-20 pinned tabs for each and I can see ~60 tabs per panel at once. I work in three phases: tab accumulation (browsing), tab elimination (reading), tab reorg to move tabs to specific panels. Of course vertical tabs make this all possible and it is frustrating that there isn’t a browser with all of my extension functionality and ux baked in.
I really like the infuse jellyfin setup.
Only two things that bugs me are
1: Choosing a movie and then cast member wont show all shows/movies for that casr member, only the cached ones. No big deal but a bit of a petpeeve.
2: And I think this might not be solvable from Jellyfin but more than one version/quality of a tv show episode shows up as a seperate show episode and not version of the same episode.
Might not be a Jellyfin issue since InFuse cant handle that in stand alone either. Havent tried the jellyfin clients to see the difference there.
While the UI designers are rearranging deck chairs, the UX is totally failing to love up to the promise of an ecosystem. Cross system cut n paste is a neat trick, but I just want timers and alarms to actually work as expected.
I shouldn’t be surprised given that the mac save as dialog box has a name field that is still hard coded to 32 characters visible. Whenever I bitch about it I get pushback that filenames shouldn’t be longer than that! Um hello - tell me you have never worked in the real world outside your iphone bubble without telling me.
Honestly I don't even try to read pages that have some super narrow 400px layout any more. Time was I would screw around editing the CSS with dev tools, but I just don't have the patience these days. It's a lot of work to try to alter the CSS and it's unpleasant as heck to read something that narrow (anything less than 1000px is awful to read and I prefer 1200), so I just move on.
Pro tip for web designers out there: if someone wants a narrow layout they can always make their browser window smaller, but if you force it to be narrow that screws over the users who find that unpleasant. A wider layout can thus work for both types of reader, while a narrow layout only works for one.
I am befuddled. How do are you hearing Portishead (and DCD is even more bizarre)? I hear a touch of Beach House on older releases when there are vocals. But yeah, agree that it is a good addition to my library. Stereolab still hasn’t clicked for me, but I’ll give it another try. Along these lines, Yndling was my cool find this year
Hey, it's the original article that compares it to Dead Can Dance. On the plus side, that suggestion did get me to put DCD on while me and my kids played Fishspan last night. They wanted to know why I was playing "spooky dungeon music" and kept saying things like "oh we just got to the desert level boss fight" when new tracks started playing.
I looked at the git page for sponsor block TV, but it’s super confusing. It’s talking about installing python and docker. You can’t do that stuff on an Apple TV right??
Why do you want a megacorp to tell you what to listen to!?? There are a million ways to do discovery where some enshitified corp isn’t incentivized to push something at you.
I think perhaps the assumption of the OP (I know mine was in the early days) was that "discovery" on Spotify would involve human tastemakers and some kind of dynamic aggregation of peer tastes that could lead to organic discovery of new music, no matter how niche or obscure.
As opposed to what it has now devolved into: the most basic of similarity matching always showing you the same few hundred songs, combined with increasingly numerous paid placements.
Interesting read, but I was surprised that the author didn’t discuss the dynamics of the interplay between dissonance and consonance. What makes consonance so satisfying is the juxtaposition against dissonance. Maybe it didn’t come up because his examples don’t exhibit it? I wouldn’t know because I listen to different genres than he discussed. It is certainly a concept explored in many forms of jazz.
As another modern example, one could listen to the live recordings from the latest The Mars Volta tour where these incredibly beautiful progpop songs are interspersed with atonal and arhythmic interludes giving the simple beauty of their original studio songs a satisfying contrast.
This looks very interesting and I appreciate the pricing model and lack of cloud. It wasn’t clear from the site, but is there a check all moves prior to execution function? Undo?
There is no automatic execution — nothing is moved without your confirmation.
Floxtop suggests the top 5 destination folders where a file could best belong. You stay fully in control: you can choose one of the suggestions, move files individually or in bulk (Move All), or select a completely custom folder location at any time.
If you change your mind, you can Undo per file or use Undo All to revert the entire operation.
