Ten tydzień zaczynamy bardzo nietypowo, bo od historii formatu #MP3, #WinAMP, #Napster i generalnie wczesnych lat cyfrowej dystrybucji muzyki. Czasy piękne, nostalgiczne, choć zdecydowanie wątpliwe pod kątem legalności.

Digging for some historical information in the @pidgin repo and came across this gem of a commit message..
> Apparently if you don't cvs add a directory before you cvs add files in that directory, cvs just puts the files in the napster directory. ... Seems logical enough to me.

#Napster, formerly #InfiniteReality, announced a $3.36 billion investment in January, but the investor and #funds have #vanished. The company, facing #lawsuits and #unpaidbills, is now claiming to be a victim of misconduct and is assisting law enforcement. The #SEC and #DOJ are #investigating the company’s actions, including the validity of the investment and its financial practises. https://www.forbes.com/sites/phoebeliu/2025/11/23/napster-said-raised-3-billion-mystery-investor-now-the-investor-money-gone/?Pirates.BZ #Pirates #Tech #Startup #News

Die Zeiten ändern sich (nicht) ...
Während ich anfangs 2000er-Jahre eine Viertelstunde wartete, bis der gewünschte Song von #Napster mit 128 kbit/s über ISDN-Leitung heruntergeladen war, warte ich heute zwanzig Jahre später eine Viertelstunde, bis das gewünschte #LLM-Model von #Huggingface über mit 1 Gbit/s über die Glasfaser-Leitung heruntergeladen ist.

Weekly output: inflight WiFi, Napster resurfaces, FCC chair’s “Build Agenda”
I spent yet another Fourth of July without going into D.C. to see the fireworks, because I had a logistically simpler alternative: a college friend within walking distance having his usual Independence Day gathering, with smaller-scale pyrotechnics in the backyard.
Patreon readers got a bonus post: a review of the first new TV we’d purchased since 2009, covering its utility with over-the-air ATSC 3.0 broadcasts and with streaming-video services.
6/30/2025: Planning a Trip? These Are the Airlines With the Speediest In-Flight Wi-Fi, PCMag
This post started as a writeup of a report by Speedtest publisher Ookla of the inflight WiFi of 30 airlines, then I used the opportunity to provide an update on United’s rollout of Starlink connectivity on regional jets and remind readers about how the price of inflight WiFi is trending towards zero.
7/1/2025: Napster Resurfaces As (What Else?) an AI Company. Can Its Agents Deliver?, PCMag
I got a heads-up about this weird relaunch of Napster as an AI service a week and a half ago but had no bandwidth to get to the story at the time. Fortunately, Monday had enough free time for me to try out Napster’s AI avatars and write a first-look post about that experience.
7/3/2025: FCC Chair’s ‘Build Agenda’ for Broadband Expansion Looks Familiar, PCMag
After watching FCC chairman Brendan Carr’s speech Wednesday afternoon outlining his plans to boost broadband availability, I realized that parts of it didn’t seem too different from previous initiatives by the commission. So I took a little time to check with a telecom-policy expert and filed this report Wednesday night.

I find it I'm using that #PeerTube is in that weird primordial state that sites like #YouTube and #Napster experienced in their early days, were you log in and it immediately starts offering you #pirated #movies that are still in theaters.
Obviously, things don't stay this way once they get to mainstream, partially because it's a barrier itself. It's a bit harder to regulate or go after stuff getting posted there though, especially since it's non-profit and decentralized, so I'm not sure what that's going to look like if it ever takes off as more than a video-hub for the microblogging side of the #fediverse.

Rise your hands who experienced the peer-2-peer music files sharing in the late 1990's?

Watched the Blues Clues movie with the kids this morning while recovering from the holiday and was thrilled to see this most excellent cameo from @alexwinter. Not only was it a nice surprise, but it earned me some cool points from the extended family when I told them I had a wonderful interview with him almost a decade ago about his Napster documentary, Downloaded. (Check it out if you haven't seen it.)
