Woo! My new #MetaBrainz shirt has arrived! Now I have something fitting to wear as I add all the queer indie music to the system 🎶💅✨️

😩 Oh no, watch out! The #AI #bots have discovered *robots.txt*—and promptly ignored it. 🤖💥 Apparently, #MetaBrainz can't have nice things like basic web traffic because tech bros are too polite to ask for a full download. 🚫📉

@ListenBrainz @metabrainz Is there an easy way of bulk deleting listens from a particular source/channel/artist in #ListenBrainz?

Pano Scrobbler has been tracking and sending my internet radio listens, and I have zero clue on what day it happened to delete them from the feed. I only realized the issue when I saw the radio station in my stats...

I've just added "Undefined Lovers" by #Steppenkind (12'', 2022) on #Maakuda Records to the @musicbrainz database.

Happy I Love Free Software Day! 💕

Unfortunately, this year I could not join nor organize any in-person celebration, BUT of course I want to share my gratitude to the many, countless #FreeSoftware services I don’t merely use, but actually depend on.

Last year, I decided to focus only on #YunoHost, because it would have been crazy to list all the projects I use and I love.

This time, even if I will most certainly forget someone, I am challenging myself to mention all the #LibreSoftware my life is powered by.

Without further ado, THANK YOU to:

• @yunohost, for powering Nebuchadnezzar
• @fedora, for running my beloved #Framework laptop
• @frameworkcomputer, for designing and building repairable, #Linux-friendly and truly open hardware
• @gnome and @GTK, for being just gorgeous
• @calyxos (thus @LineageOS), for powering my #Fairphone5
• #Obtainium, for making me directly download apps on my phone, and @fdroidorg for distributing them
• #AuroraStore, for proxying the download of apps I am doomed to get from Google Play
• @element, for developing #Synapse, even though the new proprietary Synapse Pro is VERY PROBLEMATIC AND DISAPPOINTING
• #Fractal, for being the most beautiful and awesome #Matrix client ever
• @signalapp, for keeping me connected with the people I love
• @Mastodon, for also maintaining a feature-packed experimental fork (#GlitchSoc), that is what Pan runs
• #Tuba and #Moshidon, for being the most beautiful and awesome #Mastodon clients ever
• #Firefox, for still remaining the best possible #browser choice, despite #Mozilla’s governance messiness
• @openstreetmap, for allowing us to find the right path, both literally and metaphorically!
• @organicmaps, for being the simplest, cleanest, yet feature-rich #OSM client and navigation app
• @protonvpn, for making me browse safely from/to anywhere in the planet and @protonprivacy #ProtonMail, for hosting my email, despite the latest alarming political statements…
• @libreoffice, for allowing me to draft documents with ease, the last of which was my #CV
• #LanguageTool, for preventing me from making embarassing spelling mistakes
• @photoprism, for safely storing and indexing all my photographic memories, on Aby, and for providing stellar and friendly support too!
• #Actual, for moderating the very likely risk of ending up completely broke, since it forces me to manage my finances consciously and coherently
• @readeck, for storing and sorting ALL my varied and overwhelming inputs
• @nextcloud, for storing and synchronizing my data, for its #calendar, its #tasks, and all its awesome apps
• #Rustdesk, for preventing my friends and family members from going crazy, by allowing me to remotely connect to their devices and directly address the issues they have
• #Listmonk, for sending out my newsletter
• @eleventy, for powering all the websites I maintain, above all the virtual representation of my mind, and for being the only reason why I resist and try to continue learning #JavaScript
• @forgejo, for giving us a chance to truly control and collectively develop the sources of our software, but most importantly @Codeberg, for RESISTING, RESISTING, RESISTING, despite the hatred and attacks nazi assholes throw at them
• @musicbrainz for keeping music knowledge open and free, and @ListenBrainz for scrobbling the crazy music I listen to
• The @fsfe, for promoting this celebration and fighting the good fight!

Lastly, but most importantly, the biggest thank you goes to all the free software libraries and dependencies the above mentioned #software are made of/built with, including #C, #JavaScript, #Python, #Rust, and all community-maintained programming languages.

I am super sorry if I forgot someone!

I was addicted to UPSAHL this year, I see.

my 2024 year in music, most of it is streaming, but all my record listening is mixed in too!

I found that you can "scrobble" your listening of a vinyl record or a CD (or anything else really) to Last.fm, Libre.fm, and/or ListenBrainz via an Android phone:

sometimes I wish #Tidal did a #wrapped thing like #Spotify

but I kind of like the statistics I collect by scrobbling my listening habits to #lastfm & #ListenBrainz / #MusicBrainz 😍

my stats for 2024 (so far), are available here: https://listenbrainz.org/user/yano1798/stats/?range=this_year

I'm also on last.fm with the same username, but they don't show 2024 stats until January 2025 🤷‍♀️

Six weeks ago I had been attending the #MetaBrainz Summit, which this year took place in Delhi. It was a great experience and much fun to meet both old friends and new faces. Beside all the talk about MetaBrainz projects we also got to experience India and Indian hospitality.

@aerozol has written a detailed blog post on the @metabrainz blog. Many great pictures there as well.

We did another #MusicBrainz Picard release today. Version 2.12.3 fixes some weird tooltip issue and some issue with directory separator replacement.

#MusicBrainzPicard #MetaBrainz

Earlier today* we released #MusicBrainzPicard 2.12. This is primarily a bug fix release on our road to Picard 3.0. For more details see the announcement on the #MetaBrainz blog:

https://blog.metabrainz.org/2024/06/27/picard-2-12-released/

#MusicBrainz

#MusicBrainzPicard 3.0 is in the works, and I answered some questions about the development and our goals for the release. See the interview on the #MetaBrainz blog:

Thanks to @aerozol for the nice questions and doing the blog post :)

@metabrainz

Thanks @metabrainz for tracking a great year in music.

@scy there has been talk off and on in the #MetaBrainz community about starting #VideoBrainz, just no one has started development on the project (at least to my knowledge)

a few other databases I know of are TheMovieDB, The Open Movie Database, and TheTVDB, but I'm not familiar with them myself

@scy

How close is close enough? 😃
I checked on #MetaBrainz and there is no MovieBrainz

Searched DuckDuckGo with
open source movies db

And got returns.
No idea if any of them have any of what you want.

Please share if you evaluate.
