Pandora. I rarely need to play a specific song, and Pandora is somehow still miles ahead of Spotify when it comes to generating playlists (stations). I use Emby to stream media from my NAS. Invidious to stream Youtube.

7. Linux Mint: Ubuntu based Linux distribution with an excellent UI. This is the best looking and intuitive desktop experience amongst the distros I have tried recently. Looks and feels great righth out of the box.

6. HomeAssistant: This one needs no introduction. A little hard to setup, has some quirks, not the most intuitive UI and there is definitely some learning curve, but undeniably the best home automation solution out there. Incredible ecosystem and community.

5: Immich. I have been looking for a self hosted google photos alternative for a while and holy shit, I finally found it. Fantastic UI, great AI search, just perfect. Seriously, software like this keeps my faith in humanity alive.

Happy to report that my mid-line Sony BDP-BX370 BD/DVD player can display CC over HDMI and even has a ton of customization options, including Comic Sans!! 😁

@edzitron.com making sure you saw this! 😳

Because, ideally, tests scripts should mimic real user actions. You don’t tell a manual tester to find and click on a testid. There are some cases where you have no other choice, but over-reliance on testids is a sign that the team chose the “happy path” 😁

Oh no! You let the secret out! How am I supposed to get 50cent DVDs if this becomes a trend 😁 Joking aside, switching back to DVDs made me fall in love with movies again. I watch one almost everyday.

It is not just AI. I used to have to prove the social security (not US) that I am still a Type 1 Diabetic every year by getting a report from my doctor. Bureaucracy thinks pancreases just miraculously start working again…

It is a shame Jakob gave in to the AI hype so quickly.
