I'm working on a macOS app that identifies music playing around you, constantly. You can scrobble them to Last.fm, ListenBrainz, LB-compatible sites, a Mastodon account, local Shortcuts workflows, and/or or local files. It also support Apple Music and Deezer.

I built it because most scrobblers only keep track of Apple Music or Spotify plays, but I have streaming stations on all day long, or the radio is on, and those never make it into my playing charts or recommendations etc.

Early days, more to come, public beta is ongoing, and I am looking for testers :)

It's 2026. If you still host your newsletter on Substack, YOU ARE AN ENABLER. At this point, you're either complicit or plain lazy, neither of which is an excuse. You make a choice every goddamn day.

I had to look that up, found https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OnlyOffice#Organization:

> Based in Latvia, OnlyOffice owner Ascensio System SIA was a subsidiary of Russian-based New Communication Technologies. Due to EU economic sanctions targeting Russia, European organizations that used the commercial version of OnlyOffice were prohibited from doing so.


Wow. The EU got banned from Microsoft Office because of investigating America's genocide, and it banned itself from OnlyOffice because of Russia's genocide. No wonder they clamor for an EU office product.

I liked Parakeet v3 a lot until it started to drop whole sentences, willy-nilly.

Yeah, I think the multilingual improvements in V3 caused some kind of regression for English - I've noticed large blocks occasionally dropped as well, so reverted to v2 for my usage. Specifically nvidia/parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v2 vs nvidia/parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3

I didn’t see that but I do get a lot of stutters (words or syllables repeated 5+ times), not sure if it’s a model problem or post processing issue in the Handy app.

Oh god am I glad to read this. Thought it was my microphone or something.

There's also Beans, doing MD-based ticketing in your project. It's really good. (Disclaimer: I've contributed a few of the agent rules.)

https://github.com/hmans/beans

> Beans is an issue tracker for you, your team, and your coding agents. Instead of tracking tasks in a separate application, Beans stores them right alongside your code. You can use the beans CLI to interact with your tasks, but more importantly, so can your favorite coding agent! > > This gives your robot friends a juicy upgrade: now they get a complete view of your project, make suggestions for what to work on next, track their progress, create bug issues for problems they find, and more.

Much, MUCH less invasive than beads (basically just a CLI tool and a `.beans.yml` & `.beans/` in your project, and a joy to work with. CLI, TUI, labels, status, types (epic, feature, task etc.), GraphQL query interface (agents love that).

It's good.

He got too much exposure by stating Adworks no longer works?

What the AF are you talking about. Stop spreading lies.


My German keyboard has umlaut keys: üäö. I use them daily. I was told that in other parts of the World, people don't have umlaut keys, and have to use combos like ⌥U + a/o/u.

Boy, I sure hope they don't think me an AI.

Just because many people have no idea how to use type certain characters on their devices shouldn't mean we all have to go along with their superstitions.


What makes you think this is slop?

Also, I think many people use the term "slop" and "AI was involved" interchangeably, but to me, they're not synonymous. To me, writing blog posts with the help of AI is fine (grammar checks, structural help etc.) while auto-generated content generation w/o human oversight is not.


The negated sentence structure "X isn't just Y -- it's Z" directly followed by a list of 3 or 4 bullet points. Maybe the bullet points are a heavy reach but nobody can tell me otherwise of the former.

I agree on your first part! The whole article does read like slop tho; it's more like "Human was involved" here


AI writes like that because it was trained on the internet, which by now is mostly marketing copy.


Your heuristic isn’t just coarse — it’s misleading.
