Well, Twitter was never really my gig, so easy to sign out and not look back.

Find me on B*sky, user mayhemchaos.

Or on Mastodon: @[email protected]

Be warned: @sslcorp is an enshittified service you should avoid at all costs. They'll charge you for random services and getting your money back is all but impossible. See how they are screwing @metabrainz: https://t.co/BnG6yYgK3f Just use @letsencrypt!

Fuck you @TaxAct for needlessly taking $50 from my 86 year old mother, who owes nothing but still needs to file.

@_a__w_ @MusicBrainz @github The thing is since we have JSON bindings for our web service, it is easier to use those than bother with bindings. Also, Picard is at least 10 years older than those bindings. ;)

@piamancini One of the most annoying things I find in Spain, for sure.

This boring sounding data set we released actually has a really cool application -- easily building your own automated music tagger! Check it out!

[MetaBrainz @MetaBrainz]

Build a semi-automated music tagger with MusicBrainz canonical data!

We put our foot in our mouth recently, claiming that you could use our new dataset to build a tagger without much effort… joke’s on you, our feet taste GREAT! Also, here’s how. Easy.

@MetaBrainz usually doesn’t dabble in (artificial) intelligence, but we’ve secretly been doing some exciting AI work!

Without further ado, we invite you to beta-test our AI-powered playlist generator (no account/login, but more permissions, required):

@plamere : Hiya! I'd love to catch up, but do not seem to have a recent email for you. DM me plz?

Thanks!

[Robert Kaye @MayhemBCN]

@SumNeuron Hi! Sorry, I just now saw this message -- (it is hard to keep twitter as relevant these days)... Still interested?

[Robert Kaye @MayhemBCN]

Something was lost in translation, surely. https://t.co/AaoexHrI6l

Aww yiss, stupidly expensive chocolates for gifts. (I bought the supermarket chocolate for myself) https://t.co/cjeUDAUbZ8

Brussels is slowly growing on me... https://t.co/PCkc15uzge

I gotta say, I am slightly warming up to Bruxelles. https://t.co/pKXRAWbtVT

A couple of years ago some dumbfuck (who shall remain nameless) half-joked on stage that the music industry would like to replace artists with AI.

A few years later and it appears that if AI were to replace artists, it would replace the ENTIRE MUSIC INDUSTRY.

[Robert Kaye @MayhemBCN]

@doctorow This, of course, becomes an opportunity for players like @listenbrainz.

[Robert Kaye @MayhemBCN]

Reading @doctorow's Enshittification article, it closes with: "For many years .. it was really good at guessing what you wanted to see."

I think that making non-shittified recommendations is not that hard. Making plausible shittified, (read: biased to sell shit) is quite hard.
