I just remembered that I met one of my best friends to this day through Last.fm. It was 2009 or so, and you could leave messages on concert pages.

I posted asking if anyone wanted to go with me since I didn't want to go alone, and she sent me a message.

Good times.

I just think it's beautiful that I can see all the music I've listened to since 2005 (back when it was still called Audioscrobbler, before the Last.fm rename). And I never stopped scrobbling in all that time!

I love these kinds of stats and being able to see how my taste has changed across more than 20 years, since I was a teenager.

I do miss the old community forums they had integrated back in the day, though.

Thank you for the tip! I love boring notch but it does have a few bugs and indeed hasn't been updated in a long time. I will check out atoll!

You are right, I missed that. The text is almost invisible to me though, dark gray over black..

Yeah I'm not giving you all those permissions. Make it more granular maybe?

As a human, I would answer the same these AIs as answering, i.e. gotta match a stupid question with a stupid answer :)

Termux has saved me countless times over the years.. One of the most powerful apps on my phone, that's come through whether I needed a quick SSH session to put out a fire or to get some real work done on the go.

I use easy-move-resize [1] to resize windows from anywhere inside the area of the window, using a modifier key. In my case I like using cmd + middle mouse button + drag.

This is standard in Gnome and a must for me back when I switch to MacOS for work.

Which also changes the background color to yellow for some reason. And then the "night mode" is.. what is that, a lantern? Jeez.

Hey, just so you know, newer lockfiles are meant to fully replace old ones, you shouldn't bother with solving merge conflicts on these files, just accept all the new changes always.

What you SHOULD solve are conflicts in the packages/project file. Once solved, just create a new lockfile and replace the old one.

This applies to lockfiles on any project python or non-python.

I used to play around with my dad's already old by then Palm (can't remember the model) in the early 2000's.

This game reminded me of Space War
