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.


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 second this. I started as an Audioscrobbler user before the Last.fm merger. I have tracked nearly every track I've listened to for 21 years. It's awesome seeing how my habits have changed over the years.


As a long-time user, I do enjoy seeing how my tastes have changed over the years and which artists and albums I play the most. I also tend to agree that the Last.fm recommendation engine was perfectly fine for my use case compared to the algo that Spotify uses now. https://www.last.fm/user/wyclif


Same. I have one or more gaps in there which I wish I could go back and correct. I feel like integration with the service is a must for any music thing I pick up, the most recent being this year, resurrecting my old iTunes library via Navidrome.


I love clicking on a random person's profile and seeing that they're actively using the account (as in, I can see they're currently listening to a specific song!) they've had for 20+ years. So cool.


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!


Ha, this is amazing. We need a version for Android TV!


I would instantly install and sometimes choose this over the Youtube app.

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


I think most of the permissions can be toggled?


"Click to toggle optional permissions. Hover the to learn why each is needed."


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


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

This is the way, game changer.


You could have called it craftpan (pan = bread in spanish :D)


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.


Remember to exclude vimium from the site!


Yes!!!


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.

[1] https://github.com/dmarcotte/easy-move-resize


I use https://rectangleapp.com which has been a lifesaver. I only use the following three shortcuts and disable the rest:

cmd+option+f = maximize to fill entire screen

cmd+option+ctrl+left/right = move window to other monitor on left/right

I occasionally use cmd+option+left/right if I need to have two windows side-by-side on the same monitor.

MacOS window sizes have always felt weird to me - no easy way to maximize without making it go into full screen mode.

As I was writing this, I just realized that hovering on the green traffic light shows a menu to choose some window placement options.... not sure how I never realized this before, but even the "maximize" option there doesn't go all the way to the edges - weird.


The doco mentions "left" and "right" mouse. I have the ctrl-click already mapped to right mouse on my trackpad. Before I take the plunge, how well does this work with a trackpad on a MB Air?


Just tried this. Pretty cool. Kinda strange how the mouse cursor doesn't move with the window, but still might be worth using.


I came here to say something similar. Ever since I found out about alt + left click drag anywhere in window to move, and alt + right click drag practically anywhere on any side to resize, anything else feels user-hostile.

I rarely use windows anymore, but just like you installed a tool to get this behavior.

This UI feature saves approx 3 seconds on average for resizing windows. Plus, more importantly it more predictably works, and is an easier target to hit than a 2-10 wide pixel line or square region.
