  • In 2016, Microsoft launched the chatbot “Tay” through Twitter. That’s it’s profile picture. Within 16 hours, trolls (mostly 4chan probably) had conditioned her to the point that Microsoft had to shut her down. The bot praised Hitler and posted all sorts of other offensive, controversial Tweets.

    Afterwards, a narrative was created that Microsoft “killed” Tay because they could not handle what the internet did to the “child” it had adopted. Thus taking her away from “us”.

    And since I just used the word “us” close to 4chan: No, never been, probably never will be. Just enjoying the chaos and drama of Microsoft taking a punch.







  • My experience with the function is limited, but I think it’s decent. Markdown support, import from websites etc. If you add the items to the recipe with their amounts and then write them out in the text it automatically give you the amount you need based on the portions specified.

    On app.kitchenowl.org you can create a demo-user and household. Within that, you can try the recipe function. Sign up requires a mail-address, but it does not need to be a valid one.


    • Paperless if you want to keep your digital documents organized.
    • Jellyfin/Navidrome for music streaming if you have a collection.
    • AudiobookShelf for streaming & tracking progress of audoobooks if you have a collection.
    • Kitchenowl for organizing your household (expenses, shopping lists, recipes, planning meals)
    • FreshRSS for RSS-Feeds (News, Blogs etc)
    • LinkDing for Bookmark Management
    • Game-Servers (like Minecraft or others)

    EDIT:Added Linkding & GameServers






  • Here’s the not really legal way I have heard of

    1. Get a Deezer trail and cancle the sub right after. Migrate your relevant playlists to Deezer.
    2. Use Deemix to download the playlist any anything you are interested in in the quality you desire. Make sure the DL settings are also what you want. You can also use other tools to download from Qobuz.
    3. (Optional) Use Musicbrainz to identify and tag your files with unique IDs. You can also use custom scripts to give the artist field seperate entries for every artist. Makes it more convenient then separation by a ; or something. You can use ChatGPT for the script.
    4. (Still optional) Import the music to a Lidarr instance for better management and automatic naming. The IDs make this step easier. This allows you too track new or missing releases from artists.
    5. Import to Navidrome.

    The optional steps can be more involved and need a lot of manual work. Also, the migration to Deezer will have issues, it’s not perfect.

    If you want lyrics, I recommend using LRCGET or importing to Jellyfin and using it’s lyric plugin to automatically download them that way. The app SongSync on android also allows downloading lyrics automatically and manually from a variety is sources, including Apple and Spotify. Not on FDroid or Play, use GitHub or IzzyOnDroid.

    As for a music player on android, I’m currents trying Symfonium. Not FOSS and actually paid, but so far it’s the best I have seen.

    EDIT: Minor clarification.







  • Part of the resolution issue is probably caused by Netflix silly requirements. You can use hardware that is perfectly capable of handling 4k@60 or even higher, in whatever codec they deliver. But if your hardware is not considered as supported, good bad. An argument can be made for ease of use and general consumer base, but these things shouldn’t punish everyone else for that.
