There are a few vocal members of the Pixelfed community that are upset that I'm busy with Loops.
I spent 8 years building Pixelfed, it's the 2nd most popular fediverse platform.
Loops is almost ready for v1.0 release, which I can then jump back full time to Pixelfed again.
8 years. I can't take a few months off?
Like, I never took a vacation until FediCon, and even then it was about Pixelfed.
I understand the frustration, but at the same time, I'm building Loops, not wasting my time.
😔
@dansup Don't sweat on this. Your time spent on building @loops is well worth it. In my opinion, it was needed. It filled a gap. Keep calm and do what you do best. Code. #joinLoops #like

just discovered @ListenBrainz - open and community driven music platform keeping track of your #music habits. what's really cool both, @jellyfin (via custom plugin, including favourites sync) and #navidrodrome (natively, no favourites so far), support #scrobble to #listenBrainz . time to say goodbye to #lastfm 😊 getting rid of propietary music streaming services got one step easier!
they only thing still missing is to #favourite / #like a currently playing song with a #keyboard #shortcut in @gnome . anyone has an idea how this can be done? audio controls (play/pause and next/previous track) work out of the box
