a savvy operator, he likes to keep his files close to the metal. putting them in folders that could just fly away in a stiff wind? i don't think so

that's what my file dump at work is, but I also have a separate \temp files\ folder for files I deem special enough to not get purged later

one of our piece of poo poo systems thinks file names and extensions are for losers so every file you download is just a raw extensionless blob called"document" so the downloads folder is all like document(27) which is disgusting

we have some lovely site at work running insane bespoke garbage that i'm pretty sure was a summer intern project someone accidentally pushed to production and this is one of its many awesome features.

everyone talking about their spotify wrapped made me think about last.fm

i have been "scrobbling" since 2007 and it amazes me that last.fm is even still around especially after CBS/Paramount bought it. fully expected them to gut it a long time ago

a scrobble what they call it when you log that you've listened to a song. last.fm uses your scrobbles to track what you listen to so you can look back to a specific date and see what you were listening to on that day, and also compiles all sorts of stats on your listening habits. they have an API for this and most music software and streaming services offer support for it.

I considered paying for a last.fm account to get access to the good metrics about my 20+ years of listening to music, but decided it would probably be depressing

the fancy graphs are something you look at for two seconds and go "oh cool" and then forget about. even without paying you can still see metrics like "top artists in the past x days", you just don't get the comparison over time and visuals.

last.fm used to be called audioscrobler iirc.

"Audioscrobbler began as a computer science project by Richard Jones while he was attending the University of Southampton School of Electronics and Computer Science in the United Kingdom.[5] The term scrobbling is defined as the process of finding, processing, and distributing information related to people, music, and other data."

so some term some nerd-rear end nerd made up, or some dumbass british slang.

back when pandora was the newest thing in those lines, there was a reliable end condition for every station that you created where it would eventually be smothered in techno and electronica tracks and be useless for any other musical purpose. i suspect this was a similar thing, for different reasons.

idk why it's such a big deal. a student jumped up in class today and announced to everyone that the spotify wrapped just went live, and half the students immediately pulled out their phones.

It won't give me a true ranking, but being in the top 0.005% of listeners on an artist with 950 monthly listeners makes me the one true fan objectively. I'll have to let them know when I see them live on Friday night
