A very good example of this is birthdays on Facebook. When the birthday message posting started a few millennia ago, everyone took it very seriously - they would sit up at night and reply to each message. With each passing year, the number of messages increased - 20 to 50 to 70 or even 200, depending on how many “friends” you had on the evil site.
That’s when everyone realized that it’s just impossible and impractical and most important - unnecessary to have so many people posting on your “wall” to wish you birthday.
So the game became - you reply to the few folk you really care about - close friends and family. Everyone else got a like or a copy pasted “thanks”.
The hellsite even saw their “engagement” dip and built a product using the time of highly paid software engineers, product managers, SREs, and managers. What did the product do? It let you do a one click prepopulated “happy birthday person-I-met-once-at-a-party” message to their wall.
Of course people caught on to how disingenuous that was and just stopped replying to wall messages on that Satan’s Armpit.

Brands of what?
Thanks for mentioning SingleFile. I’m not using it right now.
I reckon the problem with that is… what’s the source for the recommendations and then what’s the sink?
Like, first, how do you get all that information about music, type of music, musicians, year of release etc?
Then where do you store it? Then you come to the problem of building a robust recommendation engine. Sure that’s one step that seems solvable with open source. Not easy. Solvable.
Then, what does a person do with the recommendations? So you have to build ways to export to YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, FOSS music solutions. Perhaps plugins are the way to solve this.
Not saying it’s not doable. Just difficult.
Though I also believe someone would have tried to tackle it in their capacity in the FOSS world. Don’t know how Fedi plays into this. Maybe an online radio station?
Spotify scrobbles to LastFM. Maybe they have an API or export solution? All you would have to do is play your playlist straight through once after connecting to LastFM.
I don’t know about importing it further as I don’t know what Navidrome is.

I just discovered it today. It’s nice and I like that they have a link to an open source tool with which they’ve made it.
Nicely done!
18·4 months agoIt’s self hosting. Is it home lab? Nope. Though plenty of people use VPS as a way to terminate their VPN connections and such.
Bet he’s been having a very good work time though.
