Hi! I noticed that the button open in spotify opens a premade spotify playlist, but the songs seem to be wrong. I also noticed that the covers on the website match the ones of the mismatched songs. Perhaps those songs only don’t exist on spotify? For refrence i opened the 2005 Japan playlist.

Yeah, I think the matching algorithm is struggling with some non-english speaking countries. I'll have to manually check. If you have the time and want to open an issue here's the link (but no pressure, this is already helpful) https://88mph.fm/suggest

A 50% increase in dimensions doesn't directly transform in a 50% increase in volume.

I presume that the 2022 model has as target audience nostalgic adults, but otherwise I agree, the new sets seem far more fragile then the ones released a decade ago. I think this is due to a recent focus towards adults from LEGO.

You are not crazy. This account's comments are all LLM generated. ALMOST believable

As many origami folds do, I believe

Is this a decision took in light of the new prime minister’s party winning 2/3 lower house majority and her statements about protecting Taiwan against China?

How is that a solution? These attacks would just tell you to install terminal if you don't already have it.

That would help a little no?

Well it's becoming developer hostile enough already. Maybe drop python and all command line tools while they're at it.

Would do wonders for that mythical year of the linux desktop...

I don't think the social media landscape is inherently bad, but the ways in which it evolved. And I think the shift in social media towards consuming content instead of connecting with others is a direct reflection of the era we live in; one of abundant information.

Social media will stop becoming relevant when we stop treating each person as a mini corporation that needs to provide value, trying to optimize every aspect of your life in a life-long marketing campaign.

You may be onto something. It is a little bit like google when it first started showing ads. Initially, the ads were clearly marked and were promised to be relevant to the user, but that line has been moved slowly in a way to extract more and more value from the user.. while removing value that user already had.

I know social media had some real use cases. CL and FB marketplace are probably one good example of that. But the rest of it.. best I can say, my overall happiness jumped up after first month of going on a media diet.

Crap, you're right. But I can't edit anymore. Also that would exceed the character limit.

I went to Kyoto last year during what can be considered peak season. My accommodation was quiet central. I have to say I didn't have a problem with overturism. Sure if you visit what everyone markets on Instagram there are flocks of tourists everywhere. If you just randomly explore the city, you can find equally beautiful places that lack tourists and in my opinion are far more charming.

I think the problem is that since Japan has been trending on social media, everyone goes to the same 3 temples, eats at the same 5 restaurants and so on. And social media sure doesn't help in spreading the tourist flux evenly.

On my Intel mac searching with cmd+space for a file takes under a second. Maybe there is a problem on your end?

I’ve actually had worse problems as recently as last week: Apps stopped showing up completely in spotlight.

Only a system reinstall + manually deleting all index files fixed it. Meanwhile it was eating 20-30GB of disk space. There are tons of reports of this in the apple forums.

Even then, it feels a lot slower in MacOS 26 than it did before, and you often get the rug-pull effect of your results changing a millisecond before you press the enter key. I would pay good money to go back to Snow Leopard.

I had the same problem last year, re-indexing all the files fixed it for me[1].

That being said, macOS was definitely more snappy back on Catalina, which was the first version I had so I can't vouch for Snow Leopard. Each update after Catalina felt gradually worse and from what i heard Tahoe feels like the last nail in the coffin.

I hope the UX team will deliver a more polished, expressive and minimal design next time.

Catalina and Mojave were the closest releases in terms of quality that we got to Snow Leopard. Catalina in particular since it was the release that removed more 32-bit cruft (like Snow Leopard before it).

Absolutely there's a problem on my end, but how do I fix it! How did it get to that state in the first place? How do I make it not come back?
