You're saying the opposite of what the person you think you're agreeing with is.

There are lots of alternatives. What makes them all unacceptable?

spotify's recommendation systems really work for me to discover new music i will enjoy, not just more music like what I already listen to

> Is there a reason to use Gonic instead of Navidrome?

Not really. Both are great! I moved to Gonic because it exposed full file paths which Navidrome didn't at the time, but it has since implemented that as well.

Gonic doesn't come with a front end so it's a bit lighter if that's something you care about.

River was really great even before this split, so I'm very excited to see what happens in the space in the future. I switched to Niri while waiting for it to happen, and I'll probably switch back at some point.

If you were an Xmonad user I feel pretty confident in saying River is the Wayland WM for you.

I'm still on Xmonad mainly because I've only tried hyprland and it couldn't handle the master/slave stack the way xmonad does. On River, when I create a new window will it be inserted above the current selected window even if the current window is the master?

Also, when it was split up what did he call his window manager? Looks like the River repo is just for his display server/compositor

If ads are not effective, why do you think companies keep buying them? Surely they would have realized by now.

Companies have ad budgets that must be spent to the last dollar lest that dollar be deducted from next year's budget.

The only reason why have an ad budget is because buying ads was effective. If they were no longer effective there would be no ad budget

When I very briefly worked at a bike shop even some of the pros said they basically learned everything from Park Tool's Youtube videos!

Probably just a typo. He was 63.

Surprisingly young

They have been more focused on cloud stuff (and now AI) for a long time.

You could fit the most basic version of a spaced repetition program on the back of a napkin. Why would you want to vibe code yet another program lacking a bunch of useful features though?

Probably because I've seen so many people complaining about the issues with so many of the common apps. I don't want to pay a subscription for SR, and I don't really understand what the useful features are that I'd be missing out on. Can someone clue me in?

Why would you want to install someone else's bloated mess that includes a ton of crap you'll never use?

Tell me about your custom browser you're reading HN on!

I'd love to!

So I used AI to help me write this, I gotta be honest, but I have this TUI I use over SSH to access HN. I call it Nitpick!

It's GPL, athttps://github.com/fragmede/nitpick

It uses the HN API and algolia and golang with the bubble tea libraries. I'm parsing/scraping the threads page though, because reconstructing that from the API was proving to be a hassle.

It even supports logging in and commenting and reply notification!

I'm not totally sure where I land on using libraries (bubble tea) as they do bloat the program with unnecessary features, but I do like its simple text interface over using a web browser and a whole javascript engine for just rendering text.

Anyway, patches welcome!

:)

AnkiHub people seem kind of slimy in my experience (at least their leader, "The AnKing"). I hope they figure out a good leadership situation, and make stronger commitments to openness.

Anki is in a very solid position to be forked if anything happens, so even if this is bad news I have faith in the larger community.

I have this vague sense that this is the opinion of many people in the Anki community many years ago when I last used it (to improve my German vocabulary before my first child was born—with whom I speak German).

I was reminded that AnkiHub's business model is selling Anki add-ons.

So it seems clear they would decline to add competing features to Anki, but instead create an add-on to sell instead, and never add it as a feature to Anki.
