If you scroll Instagram for a few minutes you'll see what they have been working on and that are also making a ridiculous amount of cash by selling and serving ads while burning some on side projects like that.

Most people don't care that much. When I read some comments on Mastodon I get the impression that people absolutely hate it, then I'm reading some comments on X and people love it and build things with it. Then I'm talking to

> Or did they just lie out of their ass and leave everyone worse off? This, but I guess I should've been more clear in my parent comment in saying that by "addressing" should come in heavy quotation marks.

Lots of links that get submitted here could qualify for that, it's often a content marketing blog post or a funnel to consulting / a service but that doesn't mean it can't be interesting to read (Hence the upvotes).

That rule is always polarizing, but there's many people who don't like to download FLAC as it's too large, or they don't want to keep seeding FLAC forever if they just convert it to V0 or 320 right away anyway. I'd

Nice! I've tried to build something similar with Unifi cameras ( https://github.com/dewey/birdhomie ) and it worked pretty well, the species detection wasn't that accurate but I'll continue on that project

I take issues with you calling it "antiquated", when it's just a different approach and both are valid and depend on a lot of factors if they are the right one for the specific community.

There's a lot of content on private trackers that's not available on the public internet, especially when it's more local or obscure content. You'll always find the latest US tv shows or Hollywood movies everywhere, and
